This is a plane patch over Asobo's Skyhawk and adds a new plane to your hangar (located at the begining : letter C... like Cessna)

Notes to livery makers :

• Registration numbers are split in two in panel.cfg : you will be able to set different colors for the wing and the side reg.
• Common parts of the plane have the exact same name as the C172 AS1000 model
• New parts have their textures in bush_172_* and tail_172_* files (wheels, landing gear...)
• Stickers are baked in the model, if you want to replace with yours, edit the file : BUSH172_STICKERS_ALBD.PNG You can also remove the stickers with a transparent texture file.
• The front of the wings are the sportsman camber cuff, defined in BUSH172_SPORTSMAN_* files.

EzRyder has made a very nice ALLInOne C172 Template. Don't miss that paint kit.

Also, don't miss the blender multi template pack from AIRPAC1

Flight model :
Flight model is based on reaperS73 work on the C172 STC 210HP STOL G1000 and allows to operate in a STOL mode in bush locations.

About this work : 
3D model has been made with blender from the export of Skyhawk G1000 Asobo's original model.
All the external textures and animations had to be redone and match the original definitions.
Bush wheels and legs come from the Asobo c152 and savage cub model.
A huge thanks to Newktv's developpement series that helped a LOT.
Huge thanks to beta testers : ANNOV, smvrf, Pops738
Many thanks to EzRyder who figured it out how to use the classic cockpit MikeFear303 for the classic cockpit xml & systems trick !

Base Product

Recent Changelog for 2.5.2

Quick fix :
* Brakes were wrong : all on left side. Thanks for the report JimmyAK & mm212hd130

Future plan on this plane :
As you may already know, it is more and more difficult to work on a patch on both decrypted (AS1000) and encrypted (classic) aircraft.
The configuration files diverge and the classic variant has growing buggy behaviors.
As this is not my intent to deliver products with known bugs, I will have to stop the classic variant one day.
But as I worked on the ReimsRocket mod, I plan to work on a simple gauges cockpit. It won't be as complete as the one from asobo or the excellent WBsim mod.
Hopefully, there will still be room for both AS1000 & Gauges cockpit for this mod (and the other ones I made)
