This is a modification to the MSFS 2020 default  Asobo Cirrus SR22T aircraft.  This mod is primarily aimed at improving the overall flight dynamics of this aircraft, providing a more realistic flying experience that is much closer to the actual aircraft.  Multiple changes have been made to the engine and flight model parameters, and the aircraft weight and balance, which are all detailed in the Change Log file included under the Documentation folder.  A full PDF copy of the aircraft POH is also included under the Documentation folder.

This mod is easily installed by simply unzipping the download file and copying the mge-asobo-aircraft-sr22 folder to the MSFS Community folder.  It will then replace the existing default Asobo Cirrus SR22 aircraft in the MSFS aircraft selection screen, and will also continue to utilize any existing aircraft Liveries.  To uninstall the mod and return to using the MSFS default aircraft, simply remove it from the Community folder.  This aircraft and mod requires the MSFS Premium Deluxe Edition.

STEERING:

This mod uses Nosewheel Steering by default because MSFS does not currently fully support Free-Castering steering, but it also includes Free-Castering Steering as a future option. To change the steering just open the flight_model.cfg file and modify the following two lines under the [CONTACT POINTS] section of the file.  Just remove the semicolon from the current point.0 line, and add it to the other one...

Use this setting for Nosewheel Steering...

point.0 = 1, 6.1, 0.0, -4.1, 750, 0, 0.523, 30, 0.15, 1.9, 0.794, 0, 0, 0, 165, 165, 2        ;Nosewheel steering
;point.0 = 1, 6.1, 0.0, -4.1, 750, 0, 0.523, 180, 0.15, 1.9, 0.794, 0, 0, 0, 165, 165, 2        ;Free castering nosewheel

Use this setting for Free-Castering Steering....

;point.0 = 1, 6.1, 0.0, -4.1, 750, 0, 0.523, 30, 0.15, 1.9, 0.794, 0, 0, 0, 165, 165, 2        ;Nosewheel steering
point.0 = 1, 6.1, 0.0, -4.1, 750, 0, 0.523, 180, 0.15, 1.9, 0.794, 0, 0, 0, 165, 165, 2        ;Free castering nosewheel

To improve the realism and performance of your Toe Brake Pedals, I highly recommend changing the SENSITIVITY settings on the CONTROLS OPTIONS screen to the following...
⦁    Set "SENSITIVITY -" to 33%, 
⦁    Set "SENSITIVITY +" to -33%, 
⦁    Set "DEAD ZONE" to 0%, 
⦁    Set "NEUTRAL" to 60%, 
⦁    Set "EXTREMITY DEAD ZONE" to -1%.
This will make the performance of the brakes much closer to the real-world, where the braking force is applied very gradually at first and then increases as the pedal is pressed further down. This will improve the smoothness and realism of braking for all aircraft in MSFS, and it will also make differential brake steering much easier and more precise.
