Cessna 172 Skyhawk no wheel fairings

Quite simply, the Skyhawk without its wheel fairings ! Or at least without fairing on the front wheel as a variant !

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)
This mod respects the Game Content Usage Rules from Microsoft.

SU10 STATUS

the plane sitting is bad after the SU10 update. 

As I'm currently very busy on other mods, I suggest you use the new :  Cessna 172SP Skyhawk AS1000 improvement.
You will be able to choose your wheels configuration plus a lot more.
If you are only interested in C172 Classic variant, I have currently no solution :-( 

Cockpit settings : 

You will find two variants to download :

• baglu-c172-nowheelfairings-g1000.zip : to be used with any version of MSFS2020
• baglu-c172-nowheelfairings-classic.zip : you need to own the Classic 172 from premium version

Variants and liveries :

• 2 Variants are available :
  • no wheel fairings for the 3 wheels
  • no front wheel fairing and fairings on the rear wheels
• 5 liveries for each variant

Flight model modifications

None : the plane uses the exact same parameters as the stock skyhawk from Asobo.

3D model modifications

Two solutions were possible to remove the wheel fairings : the simpliest one (update of the json in the 3D model file) would have been possible but not for the Classic Gauges Skyhawk (DRM...) and the more complex one : import the exterior model and redo all the animations and textures.
Wheels and legs come from the Asobo c152 (they're missing from the import of the original C172 model)

As it is not a simple patch, you may find some glitches and imperfections on textures here and there. I'll try to correct them as much as I can and as much as the blender export can too.

Livery conversion

If you want to reuse one of your standard skyhawk livery (either as1000 or classic) here is a little howto :

• arcraft.cfg : replace base_container with a new value (depending on your choice as1000/classic) :
  • base_container = "..\bagolu-c172-nowheelfairings-classic"
  • base_container = "..\bagolu-c172-nowheelfairings-g1000"
• model.*/model.cfg : in this file, replace the two sections following theses rules :

  • use the values in the [model.options] section :
    [model.options]
    withExterior_showInterior=true
    withExterior_showInterior_hideFirstLod=true
    withInterior_forceFirstLod=true
    withInterior_showExterior=true

  • use the values in the [models] section if you want a classic + no wheel fairings at all :
    [models]
    exterior=../../bagolu-c172-nowheelfairings-classic/model/Cessna172SP.xml
    interior=../../Asobo_C172sp_classic/model/Cessna172N_interior.XML

  • use the values in the [models] section if you want a classic + only rear fairings :
    [models]
    exterior=../../bagolu-c172-nowheelfairings-classic/model.HALF/Cessna172SP.xml
    interior=../../Asobo_C172sp_classic/model/Cessna172N_interior.XML

  • use the values in the [models] section if you want a g1000 + no wheel fairings at all :
    [models]
    exterior=../../bagolu-c172-nowheelfairings-g1000/model/Cessna172SP.xml
    interior=../../Asobo_C172sp_AS1000/model/Cessna172SP_AS1000_interior.xml

  • use the values in the [models] section if you want a g1000 + only rear fairings :
    [models]
    exterior=../../bagolu-c172-nowheelfairings-g1000/model.HALF/Cessna172SP.xml
    interior=../../Asobo_C172sp_AS1000/model/Cessna172SP_AS1000_interior.xml

• texture.*/texture.cfg :
  • Use these values for a classic variant :
    [fltsim]
    fallback.1=..\..\..\..\texture\Gauges
    fallback.2=..\..\..\..\texture\AS530_430
    fallback.3=..\..\..\..\texture\Glass
    fallback.4=..\..\..\..\texture\DetailMap
    fallback.5=..\..\..\..\texture
    fallback.6=..\..\..\..\texture\AS140
    fallback.7=..\..\..\..\texture\AS76
    fallback.8=..\..\..\..\texture\AudioPanel
    fallback.9=..\..\..\..\texture\AS_ELT
    fallback.10=..\texture
    fallback.11=..\..\bagolu-c172-nowheelfairings-classic\texture
    fallback.12=..\..\Asobo_C172SP_Classic\texture
    fallback.13=..\..\..\..\texture\Planes_Generic

  • Use these values for a g1000 variant :

  • [fltsim]

    fallback.1=..\texture\
    fallback.2=..\..\..\..\texture\
    fallback.3=..\..\..\..\texture\Gauges
    fallback.4=..\..\..\..\texture\AS1000
    fallback.5=..\..\..\..\texture\detailMap
    fallback.6=..\..\..\..\texture\Glass
    fallback.7=..\..\Asobo_C172SP_AS1000\texture
    fallback.8=..\..\bagolu-c172-nowheelfairings-g1000\texture
    fallback.9=..\..\..\..\texture\Planes_Generic

And you should be good to go.

If you want to keep the livery for the original skyhawk in your community folder, you will probably have to rename the folder in your livery in SimObjects\Airplanes\ (the one that contains aircraft.cfg) in order to avoid conflicts. That means you will also have to rename all the paths in layout.json according to your change.
