In their first release since February 2020, NKDesign have launched the Cessna C140 for X-Plane 11. The developer had previously made a Columban Cri-Cri for the same simulator.
The C140 is NK’s second foray into aircraft design after the aforementioned Cri-Cri, however, the developer also has experience in FMOD sound pack creation and scenery design, having created a default 747 sound pack and Brighton/Shoreham Airport previously.
