Cessna 152 FSX add-on available free

Hi All,
       For those who do not have the 152, here is the link to download the 152 for Microsoft FSX. For beginner virtual-pilots this is the best plane to start off before you get on the Cessna 172.

Thank you for posting this link!!

I have been looking for it everywhere on JustFlight.com, ever since I saw it in the FSinsider newletter.

I've always thought it's 'bad form' to bring R/L experiences to a Sim Forum.  But, this model is 'spot on' from everything I remember about my hours in a C152.

The only exception is the trim required when the flaps are extended.  I don't remember that much of a change.  But this is a minor, minor issue.

If you want to get as close as possiable to an actual A/C for FREE...  You'll want this one...

My bad, I thought he was talking about a different plane.

Yes I'm talking about the link by the OP.  The C-152 is a 'viceless' aircraft.  It does exactly what YOU want when YOU want it.  Some have said that that makes it a poor trainer.  I disagree..  It's just a matter of understanding what YOU want it to do...

Hi all

I really like the model. I still fly it from time to time. Of all my thousands of hours in FS, in all types of planes, the 152 has a feel to it that begs you to take it up again.

It's not a fast plane. It's not a aerobatic plane. It's not got loads of power to weight. But it flys so nicely, that it is hard to pass it by when selecting a plane. For slow GA, it is one of the best for the game, imo.

Glad all of you like this plane. I started my flight lessons months back on this plane
and the recommended take off speed is 65 and then climb at 85 to gain altitude faster and landing speed 65-70knots.
This plane is great on FSX but for some reason to maintain a level flight I am forced to apply some left and right pressure on the ailerons
unlike other planes in FSX. Is this normal or is there a setting I could change?

[Dave W]

Himmm?  Topcatin try this.  Try flying with clear weather and no wind and see what happens.  I do remember a flight where I was having the problem you describe but it turned out to be a really nasty crosswind to my heading.

...like Dave said above......!

Its fantastic to see Folks learning to fly, and navigate, on the baby Cessna before they move onto "bigger things"...!

Well done!... ...!
