Acclaimed general aviation aircraft developer Carenado has recently released their newest addon for Microsoft Flight Simulator, being the somewhat bizarre and unique Cessna 337 Skymaster.
The twin engine aircraft includes a range of features like a fully complete custom 3D cockpit with a GNS530 gps, BK RDR2000 weather radar, KX 165 Nav/Com radio, custom KR87 ADF, and KT76A transponder all included in the cockpit. As well as a highly detailed and realistic exterior model with PBR textures to name a few.
The addon was originally announced in August of 2021, and is one of the eight aircraft to be released for Microsoft Flight Simulator by Carenado so far.
The addon is priced at approximately €22.07 and can only be purchased from the Microsoft Flight Simulator marketplace.
The Cessna 337 Skymaster is an American made twin engine aircraft, famous for it’s unusual fuselage shape, as well as it’s tail configuration. Though the aircraft is not a common sight, it is still used in various militaries around the world, as well as for personal use and air taxis.
