The Cessna 337 still in development, but it has some suitable systems. Electrical, vacuum and fuel system are working, but they have no failure system modelled yet. Users can adjust the weight of each seat on the plane and fuel ammount. Almost all buttons, knobs and levers are functional and properly animated, and all instruments are labeled for a properly identification.

=== ELT ===
=== ELT ===
The ELT (Emergency Locator Transmitter) is a device which send a message in case of aircraft crash. That message contains info about aircraft model, owner and approximate coordinates of the crashed plane, and it is made to request SAR (Search and Rescue) services. The Cessna Skymaster is the first plane equiped with a functional ELT on FlightGear; however, it's not very useful yet due a bug in the aircraft wich made it unable to be crashed. We hope it will be fixed soon.
