Developers PropStrike Studio has announced via Facebook that they are working on a freeware mod to improve the default C172 for X-Plane.

The announcement comes after a meeting with a former bush pilot Ken Myles. Ken used to fly a Cessna 206 in and out of small fields around Quantam River in British Colombia, Canada. Ken inspired the team to create a freeware mod for the default Cessna 172 to bring real-life experience to their Quantam River scenery.

The mod will include a cargo, tail-dragger and large wheel version to make things more interesting.

PropStrike Studio has mentioned this will also be fully compatible with the REP for the default C172 from SimCoders.
