==== Cesnna 337G Skymaster ====
The [[Cessna 337G Skymaster]] received an update, making the plane ready for FlightGear 2.6 and some more nice improvements. The Skymaster now has an autostart function, new autopilot, checklists and "utility" dialogs, new heading indicator, 2 new liveries, new splash screen, new cockpit animations and new shaders, and a complete new [[ELT]] system. Some more? Well, the 337G is now able to crash due for hitting the ground or excesive G loads.
