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 !

Spotted a slight mistake, BROWN_DIRTY panel.cfg file is still set to the old Asobo G1000

Ho you're right ! Thanks for the report, I'll fix that asap

Works perfectly, looks great
and is a great upgrade for the plane.
It is compatible with SU11,
thanks for that

awesome mod, I have been enjoying what you did to the C172 a lot for months! just noticed in version 2.5.0 of the taildragger (not sure if it was the case before), that the left brake pedal makes both wheels brake, and the right brake pedal does nothing... I double checked with other planes (including your AOA mod) to be sure it wasn't me or my settings...

Love your C172 mods! Will they work with the new WBSIM realism mod from Just Flight?
bagolu 4 month(s) ago
Sorry, no it won't work : WBsim tunes the different parameters including the engine (so not this "upgrade" here)
euxpery
Is there any possibility of obtaining the performance charts of this c172 with this engine? I'm flying more and more this plane, I really love it, and I want to start planning longer routes with it.
bagolu 6 month(s) ago
It should be very clone to the performance charts of the Reims Rocket or the Hawk XP : they both have the same engine.
spoiler: they'll be available soon

Wonderful plane! Love using it! Out of curiosity, are any of the official game's files being decrypted come Sim Update 10 and its Beta going to help with future versions of this mod?
bagolu 7 month(s) ago
I hope so !
we'll see (I haven't had time to try the beta)

I love your plane. We haven't enough bush planes. A little bug in the classic version: I've detected the left rotatory of 430 handles the com freqs of the 530 unit. It is not possible to change the com and nav 2 in the 430 itself. It's the only minor problem I've found. Thanks again to all the devs involved in this project.
UPDATE: I've been checking your AoA classic version and it happens the same. With the ASOBO version works correctly. I hope it helps to find the problem.
bagolu 7 month(s) ago
I'll try to look at that. We already had the problem in the past, but as a lot of files are encrypted it's not easy. Thanks for the report !
euxpery 6 month(s) ago
I hope that with the arrival of SU10 you can finally access to those files. Thanks again!

The camber of the wheels seems to me too accentuated on this latest version

wheels dont sit right

Thanks it must come from the "compression" update.
Fix is coming !

With WU8 it makes the content manager crash
squadone702
is it me or does this plane require the runway from fast and the furious 6 in order to take off? the other variant "bush kit" performs just fine and actually has STOL take offs.

Thanks for fixing the discharging battery issue!
Could you do that for the "No Wheel Fairing" and the "Angle of Attack" versions too?
Derpyair
You did it again, I love the improvements. Getting ready to put a link to this in the next YouTube video I do.
bagolu
If you have an early livery for the plane and have pink checker side prop, add theses lines in your texture.cfg file for clean liveries :
or for diry liveries :
For classic variant, this would be for clean :
and for dirty :
Of course, you will have to renumber the following lines (fallback.3, 4...)

This is absolutely a lovely plane! thank you!

Just a fantastic job and airplane. Feels alive. Great job
fStopper
Great mod, thank you.
Derpyair
Even after Update 5 (NIGHTMARE UPDATE!!!) This mod works flawlessly. It gives the 172 the power it needs to be an effective STOL aircraft and get you in and out of tight places. Thank you so much!

It's been super fun getting in the "classic" and hopping around PNG! I did run into one interesting bug, after about 2 hours in flight anything electrical would shut off under 1100 rpms (starter was off and alternator was on) and when I put the first notch of flaps down it would turn off the garmins, when I put them up the garmins would turn back on. I checked all my control mapping (wasn't the issue) but the bug did fix itself once I restarted the flight.
bagolu 1 year(s) ago
That could be an electrical system problem : but as I am using an adaptation of the systems and not the real one (which is encrypted) this is possible.
I've asked multiple times on Asobo dev forums if I could get access to thoses files but no response. Even the community manager has pinged them but not a word (even "No")

Not OP but I had the same problem. Was digging around in Systems.cfg and noticed there was a Gear Motor in electrical hooked up. deleting it fixed the drain on the battery and it seems to work just like the stock 172. great planes BTW
edit:
circuit.43 = Type:CIRCUIT_GEAR_MOTOR#Connections:bus.1#Power:200,240,20.0#Name:Gear_Motor
WinnieThePugh 1 year(s) ago
Did you delete:
circuit.43 = Type:CIRCUIT_GEAR_MOTOR#Connections:bus.1#Power:200,240,20.0#Name:Gear_Motor
Or just:
Type:CIRCUIT_GEAR_MOTOR#Connections:bus.1#Power:200,240,20.0#Name:Gear_Motor
Thank you
Hellakazoo 1 year(s) ago
It's all one line so the first one. forum jusst formats it weird I guess. Having a similar problem in the amphibian version but you need that line to work the gear in that plane. I'm guessing the third number (the 20 in 200,240,20) is an idle power draw and the others are gear down, gear up? Halving it seems to fix the problem and the gear still works.
bagolu 1 year(s) ago
You're absolutely right, this line should not be here.
It looks like an error in my builds of all the mods :/
I'll fix that asap
bagolu 1 year(s) ago
This is fixed in 2.4.0

Propeller is now pink color.
bagolu 1 year(s) ago
Have you tried to remove the mod completly and reinstall it ?
I have no other report of this issue
Artemiy 1 year(s) ago
Yes, I did it when were updating it. Will do reinstall again now.
