October 29, 20205 yr I caught sight of a Cessna 140, today, at the top of Freeware Files List in the Library, probably, because of its nostalgic appeal... Model 140, was the first commercially successful plane, that Cessna manufactured after returning to production, after World War II. So, the Cessna 140 may be considered the true "beginning" of the illustrious Cessna lineage...[Side Note: There was also a Cessna Model 120 (an economy version of the 140), built about the same time as the 140. However, it was actually the 140 that had flown first (1945 vs. 1946).] I've also included for comparison an image of the Cessna 150 (the tricycle gear trainer and successor to the C140), that flew first, in 1957, and then led to the successive (and highly successful) range of evolutions through Cessna 152 and beyond. The C150, on record, is the fifth most produced civilian plane ever...! Hope you enjoy the images of these two classics...! [A.F.Scrub(C140)/French VFR(C150)]
October 30, 20205 yr Author Folks: Thanks....Wished to just share the period typical cockpits that came with these two freeware....classic planes... The first one below is for the Cessna C140. And, the second one is for the Cessna C150.
October 30, 20205 yr Love the coincidence! I just installed the justflight C152 as well. They don't make nostalgia like that anymore. Which 150 addon is this? [email protected] | 32gb RAM | EVGA GTX1080 8gb | Mostly P3Dv5 (also IL2:BoX, DCS, XP11)
October 31, 20205 yr That 152 cockpit color reminds me of my Grandma's Kitchen Appliances 😃 100%75%50%d8a34be0e82d98b5a45ff4336cd0dddc Patrick

Which 150 addon is this? Sorry, I did not get to see it till now... The Cessna 150 is from the "French-VFR" website. Click "Downloads" to see all their aircraft...nice ones....(this is a group of passionate simmers, I can tell...). There is talk, there, of converting some of their VFR planes to MSFS...in the future... 14 hours ago, Phantom88 said: That 152 cockpit color reminds me of my Grandma's Kitchen Appliances 😃 Or, actually, even a bit more "period" (than Grandma's) kitchenware....🙂... And, Mark, here, is clearly a bit old-fashioned, and seems to like this color, though,....🙂... Oh well, how far we have come....with those latest (MSFS) Citation CJ4 and Citation Longitude (ultra-modern) cockpits, of today's Cessna....??
