Makes sense to me. Especially if you do most of your hours in the c172p...makes for easy checking of those tweaks! Think someone posted a photo from this page to the list once before, but here's an interesting review (with a few screen shots) of a photo textured model someone did of the c172p for FS2000: http://www.avsim.com/pages/1000/dreamfleet/df172.shtml Maybe you should start taking your camera with you?
