Years ago I bought from Flight One a Cessna C177 “Cardinal” that was limited in sale to AOPA members (as I recall, one needed an AOPA member number to buy it- or it may have been a free download, not sure now…… it was a long time ago…. I don’t see it available anymore on the F1 site).Without a doubt this is one of the best flight models I have seen in FSX for a GA aircraft (although the VC is a bit Spartan by today’s standards). Whether that’s because it was being offered to real life pilots (and/or aircraft owners), I’m not sure of the history.What I am wondering, if anyone else has this aircraft, if anyone has successfully integrated the Reality XP GNS530 (WAAS) with the VC? I can bring up the 530 as a 2D window, but having it integrated with the VC would be the icing on the cake….Thanks, Bruce.

Awesome, thanks, I will surely get this when it's released.Thanks Glenn,Bruce.

Yeah I will too - I had the original DF version for FS2002 (or 9 can't remember)...

That and the cherokee 6 (I think it was) were two of my favorite aircraft for fs-way ahead of their time.

I don't remember a cherokee 6... was it perhaps the old Nels' DF Archer II?

Nope-a 6! I am greatly relieved to know I still have some memory!http://www.aopa.org/pilot/features/2006/sweeps0611.html

Ooooh, the aopa edition... yeah I think I canceled my AOPA membership that year hehe.
