AIRFOIL AUDIO GOES IN AND OUT SERIES
But the highly successful B200 Series created all that and operators wanted even more and more out of the iconic airframe. There are so many King Air variants you need a wall chart to work them all out of the active 7,300 aircraft produced. it would have been all quite so easy just to have done another single-engined light GA of say the Cessna 152, but no it is the huge twin King Air 350. So when the announcement came that AirfoilLabs next project would be the King Air 350, then that was a real "whoa" moment, as for ambition goes you have to give AirfoilLabs a lot of pertinacity, as this is another huge step and with another huge project cliff face to climb. but that does not take away the fact of the scale of the achievement that AirfoilLabs in what they had created.

For one it is deathly slow aircraft if you like VOR to VOR flying, you judge distance in months not hours in getting anywhere and I am not a big fan of too much realism of where it starts to get in the way of the simulation. Myself personally I had a foot in each and again the percentage was about the same in say 80% /20% of how much I really liked it. The X-PlaneReviews review is here: Aircraft Review - Cessna 172SP Skyhawk by AirfoilLabsīut I will admit the feel and high immersion was something you liked or not, so the C172SP split users into two camps , say 80% for to the 20% against. Their feedback was that overwhelmingly the Czech stud io AirfoilLab's C172SP was a great if not a perfect reproduction of the real aircraft. The Skyhawk also had a strange feel that was not the usual X-Plane type of feedback that you usually had, but the 172SP's role was never in doubt, as it was aimed directly at trainers and pilot's that have certified on the aircraft or even if you currently owned one. As a project it was certainly highly ambitious and in areas also created new levels of aircraft detail and interaction.
