A2A Simulations has updated their Cessna 172 to version 19.12.15.0, with the biggest change to now include PBR texturing as part of the aircraft. The new update also includes dynamic illumination of the virtual cockpit, along with improved instrument backlighting.
In addition, VR support has been added for 2-D panel windows, along with improved support for RealityXP and the Flight1 GNS 530/430. There are also a range of other added functionality including the ability to autotune ADF frequencies ending in .5KHZ and a new backlight to the Davtron M803 chronometer.
The update is available for free right now via A2A Accu-Sim updated, which can be accessed by clicking start -> A2A Simulations.
