The CSA SportCruiser is a two seat, single engine, tricycle undercarriage, fixed-wing aircraft that was introduced in 2006 by Czech Aircraft Works (CZAW), now named Czech Sport Aircraft. The aircraft is now often called the CSA SportCruiser.In January 2010, the SportCruiser was added to the Piper Aircraft line as the PiperSport under a licencing agreement with Czech Sport Aircraft. This arrangement was
terminated one year later in January 2011.
The aircraft is of all aluminum construction with a low wing configuration. It can be fitted with either a 100 hp (75 kW) Rotax 912ULS or a 120 hp (89 kW) Jabiru 3300 engine. Approved propellers include the Woodcomp Klassic 170/3/R.

Unaccurate. I fly the SportCruiser in the real world. This FSX model is beautiful but unfortunately the response and performance has nothing to do with the real airplane.
Lack of rudder response, unrealistic engine behaviour at high altitudes, the FSX model allows aerobatics manoeuvers that could be impossible in the real airplane due to lack of fuel flow to the carburetor.
At least my CSA SportCruiser has differential brakes. The nose wheel has no control at all, but in this FSX model you can control de nose wheel with the rudder pedals (?). No differential brakes are present either.
Really dissapointing. :-(
