Reality Expansion Pack for Cessna 172SP Skyhawk

The Reality Expansion Pack is a software developed by real pilots designed to provide the most realistic experience to the X-Plane general aviation pilots.

This software is meant to enhance an existing X-Plane add-on airplane. In this particular case, this REP package is targeting the marvelous Cessna C172SP designed by Laminar Research.

Ultra Realistic Flight & Ground Dynamics:

• Realistic stall speeds & behavior
• Realistic climb speeds
• Realistic cruise speeds
• Realistic Weight & Balance
• Realistic taxi behavior
• Dynamic ground roll sounds

Complex Damages System:

• Triggered by the pilot actions
• Based on real world data
• Target every system in the aircraft
• Meant to teach you how to correctly manage an airplane

Realistic IO-360-L2A Engine Simulation:

• Realistic propeller animations as never seen before on X-Plane
• Correct fuel consuption

Oil System:

• Realistic oil viscosity
• Interchangeable oil type
• Oil pump failures
• Realistic oil filter

Injection Fuel System:

• Realistic fuel pump behavior
• Realistic fuel filter
• Interchangeable spark plugs: default or fine-wire
• Spark plugs fouling
• Realistic Lean of Peak and Rich of Peak operations
• Starter
• Realistic startup procedure
• Realistic engine temperatures

Fuel Flooding simulation:

• The engine parts are damaged if not managed correctly

Realistic Landing Gear:

• The landing gear is damaged by hard landings
• The brakes and tires are damaged if not managed correctly

Electrical & Avionics System:

• Realistic Battery
• The avionics are damaged if on when the engine starts/shuts down
• Learn with the non invasive in-flight tips
• A tip about the conduct of the flight is shown when you are not flying the airplane properly
• A tip about how to fix the problem is shown when you damage the plane

Simulation of Hypoxia:

• Tunnel Vision
• Hard Breathing

Stunning sounds:

• Realistic engine clicks and stutters
• Dynamic ground roll sounds
• Real starter sound
• Fuselage wind sound
• Landing gear wind
• Indipendent touch down sounds
• Real avionics sound

Interactive Walkaround:

• Cockpit checks
• Aileron, rudder, elevator and flaps check
• Tire check and choks removal
• Tie-down removal
• Pitot tube check
• Engine cowl check
• Fuel quantity check
• Oil quantity and quality check

Interactive towing:

• Push, pull and steer using the joystick
• Towbar simulation

Weight & Balance Tool:

• Load the airplane and check the C.G. and weight limits at takeoff and landing
• The airplane behavior changes when the C.G. moves

Popup Kneeboard:

• Complete normal operations checklist
• Complete emergency operations checklist
• Complete reference tables (speed, fuel consumption etc.)
• May be shown/hidden with mouse gestures

Simulation state saving:

• Every single switch and lever position is restored when you reload the aircraft
• The battery may discharge if you leave it on and then close X-Plane
• As X-Plane is launched, the engine temps are restored basing on the elapsed time
• Maintenance Hangar
• Engine maintenance tab
• Electrical systems maintenance tab
• Landing gear, brakes & tires tab

HeadShake Integration:

• REP drives HeadShake to simulate the correct vibrations of the IO-360 engine

Very easy on FPS:

• Written in C++: no compromises
