A very small update has been applied to the Cessna 172 Trainer pack for Prepar3D V4 by A2A Simulations. The new update simply adds native Prepar3D GPS integration, which supports both arrival and departure procedures for the GNS 400. This brings the product to version 19.3.27.0.
This is just another update in a long series of improvements to the aircraft, which date back to November 2018 and beyond. If you haven’t updated your aircraft in a while, you will be missing out on things such as enhanced rainfall sound effects, windshield effects and a range of bug fixes and quality of life improvements.
You can update the aircraft quickly and easily through the update icon, which can be found on your Windows start menu. You can read this announcement for more information on how you can do it (along with various other A2A Simulation aircraft).
If you don’t own the A2A Simulation Cessna 172 for Prepar3D V4, you can buy it from their website. Licensing costs start from $49.99.
