Hi guys,

I am thinking about buying the Flight1 Cessna 172. Does anybody of you have it and is it any good? I'd like to know before I spend $24 on it.

Thanks in advance,

Crash Wink

Boy I dunno, but I'd seriously consider the RealAir simulations C172 first. Its free, and has very true-to-life flight dynamics.

300,000 KM/S - Its not just a good idea, its the law.

I've heard some bad things about the F1 172...but I've never tried it, so I don't want to turn you off from it. I know Jared has it, and he didn't really like it.

Thanks, I downloaded the RealAir C172 and I bought the Carenado C182RG. Both are great.

Ive got it, and not that impressed. Espishally for Flight 1. However the RealAir simulations one and the Carenado hanger Ive built up satisfy my needs quite well.

I got it and have been told by friends from school that it is very much like the 172R models that they fly in their training....

Just my two cents..... Wink
