I have no idea if such a plane exists, but I'm looking for something like the default Cessna 172, but with a more updated panel. I dislike the 'analog' feeling of having to look at the arrows and guesstimate how close to 'dead on' I am regarding whatever the instrument is saying. (VSI/VOR/TACH/Anything else)

Does a setup like this exist, or am I trying to squash together two different worlds of aviation? I really like the look of the panel in the big jets with all the digital readouts, but I'm still rather new to the whole deal, so I'm not even going to try my luck with the big heavies yet.

Basically, a Cessna with all digital instruments would be awesome!  Grin

Any ideas, anyone?

Thanks!  Cool

There is a single engined Cessna with a 'glass' panel on the Deluxe edition of FSX. No use here but it does show that such a hi-tech beast exists!

I'd search for glass panels on SimV downloads and others such as AVSIM.

edit: Found one on AVSIM, search for filename- se_rcrt.zip
