C172 variant with float type carbureter?

[aviator1213]

Hi, I see the new Cherokee 180 simulates a float-type engine...I was wondering if there will be an update or perhaps an option to purchase a C172 with a float-type engine, maybe 172N or 172P?

Carburetor heat simulation would be very useful for practice....would love to be able to simulate this with A2A C172. Seem like a lot of coding is already done on the new Cherokee 180, maybe it won't be too hard to convert to C172?

Hello,

No plans to change the 172. The 172 modelled is the R variant. Each variant differs from the next more than just an engine type. The 172R was the first of the 90's reboot so any change to a different variant going backward would require almost an entirely new aircraft, new flight modelling, new engine, new model etc.

Thanks,
Lewis
