This is a modification to the MSFS 2020 default Asobo C172SP AS1000 aircraft, which is the standard variant of the G1000 C172SP. The mod does not change the ski or seaplane variants.
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, the Garmin G1000NXi Pilots Guide, and some helpful tips for operating this aircraft are also included under the Documentation folder. A PDF copy of the FAA Airplane Flying Handbook, which is an excellent real world PPL flight training guide, is also included.
This mod is easily installed by simply unzipping the download file and copying the mge-asobo-aircraft-c172sp-as1000-std folder to the MSFS Community folder. It will then replace the existing default C172SP AS1000 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 mod has been tested with the current version of Bagolu's Cessna 172SP Skyhawk AS1000 Improvement mod and they appear to be fully compatible, so they can both be installed without any apparent interference.

manifest.json still contains: "package_version": "1.2.1", even with the latest version. Should be 1.2.3, right? 😊

Overall great mod. I fly the 172 Nav III for all my training and I have to say the improvements to the flight model and power have made it feel much more like the real thing during all maneuvers. The only thing I have noticed is that the airplane when in ground effect is way to floaty, it makes an ACS short field landing fairly complicated and even though you should never try to force the plane down, its impossible to do so in the sim.

The Cessna Skyhawk that cam with the sim for some reason did not work very well. Since I downloaded your mod. It is a treat to take it up. The stability is wonderful! It taxi's wonderful. Very grateful!

Really enjoying this, thank you! Do you make any sensitivity/reactivity/etc adjustments to rudder pedals, yokes, etc? I'm using the logitech/saitek pedals, and honeycomb alpha/bravo. Everything (in every plane) feels soooo sensitive, but I can't seem to dial in what seems like it should be reasonable. Thank you for any advice!

Thanks for the great rating... Yes, I do reduce the sensitivity of the elevator, rudder and ailerons at small deflection angles near neutral. This is done in the flightmodel.cfg file with scaler parameters for each aircraft that I modify. The MSFS controller sensitivity settings for my Alpha yoke and Logitech pedals are linear, except for some small dead zones at neutral to eliminate jittering. I can send you a screen shot of my controller settings if you want.

I am wondering why you changed the vtail, rudder, and elevator areas to what you did. Please see http://www.temporal.com.au/c172.pdf
The htail area you have used is correct but the others are off.

Thanks... Unfortunately, I am not allowed to modify any aircraft and repost it here without the express permission of the original author. Microsoft / Asobo have given blanket permission for mods to the default aircraft under their "Game Content Usage Rules". Also, I don't own the Carenado PA44.

Tip of the Day: When starting a flight and selecting one of the PRESET Weather options in MSFS, the local weather conditions at the airport you are starting from will be set to the values in the PRESET Weather screen, including the local Temperature and Barometric Pressure, which are set to the standard sea level ISA settings of 15C (59F) and 29.92 inHg. The sea level ISA settings will be used regardless of the actual altitude of the airport, which can make them very different from what you would expect, especially at higher elevation airports like KLXV (9900 ft msl) where the standard ISA temperature is actually -5C and the ISA pressure is 20.58 inHg. This can greatly affect the realistic performance of the aircraft. If you want to use the PRESET Weather option, you should manually change the Temperature and Pressure settings on the PRESET screen to the correct ISA values for the field elevation, or to the actual current airport METAR values.
If you select the LIVE Weather option, the local conditions at the airport will be correctly set based on the current METAR report for that airport. But, the aircraft altimeter will still default to the ISA setting of 29.92 and must be manually reset to the local barometric pressure, or to the airport elevation.
