Description
This is a modification to the MSFS 2020 default Asobo C172SP AS1000 aircraft, including the FLOATS and SKIS variant of the 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, 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 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 is fully compatible, so they can both be installed without any conflicts.

This flight plan includes special VFR only waypoints (VPxxx)... These waypoints are intended to provide easier GPS location of existing visual VFR waypoints, and GPS based VFR navigation in highly congested areas. They are only shown on Terminal Area Charts such as the San Francisco TAC, which can be found on SkyVector.com, and are not intended to be used in IFR flight plans.
Open WORLD MAP and enter the DEPARTURE and ARRIVAL airports and runways, then use the SEARCH box to locate and ADD each waypoint. Then, press [Spacebar] twice to open the LOAD/SAVE screen and save the flight plan as a .PLN file so you can easily reload it and repeat the flight.
For takeoff set the trim to about 25% (at the "O" in TAKEOFF on the trim gauge) and set the Flaps to 10°. Set the target ALT to 1500 ft. and before reaching VPCBT, contact ATC and request clearance to transition the Charlie airspace at KOAK. Go to SkyVector.com to view the San Francisco TAC chart for reference.
For a water takeoff in the Float variant, leave the trim at Neutral and don't set the Flaps to 10° until after you accelerate up onto the step. Increase the trim after liftoff to maintain Vy, then raise the flaps.
After entering or reloading the flight plan, select FLY to start the flight on the runway or select a PARKING RAMP spot to start the flight from cold and dark.

For a land takeoff set the trim to about 25% (at the "O" in TAKEOFF on the trim gauge), and set the Flaps to Takeoff (10°). Accelerate slowly and make large corrections on the rudder initially as needed to maintain the runway centerline. Reduce the rudder corrections as your speed increases.

Make sure you have the gear raised, and raising the flaps may also help a little. The main problem is the water drag produced by the two partially submerged floats at slow speeds resists yaw movement, until it gets up on the step which then greatly reduces the float drag. Both the main Rudder and Water Rudder also become more effective as the speed increases.
That said, the water rudders don't seem to be very effective on this aircraft. I will take a look at it to see if I can find a way to improve it.

UPDATE:
In light of your other changes working so well, I uninstalled this update and reinstalled and now it seems fine. Maybe something didn't load correctly.

Version History
Version 1.4.3 ⦁ The Free-Castering Steering on the FLOAT variant has been disabled and changed back to Nosewheel Steering. Offset free-castering wheels are not currently simulated correctly in MSFS 2020 and as a result they can easily become stuck at an angle during taxi after a sharp turn. If Asobo fixes this bug in the future Free-Castering Steering can be easily re-enabled if desired by a simple edit of the [CONTACT POINTS] section of the FLIGHT_MODEL.CFG file. ⦁ The Ground-Effect Lift Scaler has been decreased slightly to reduce floating during the landing flare. ⦁ The Flaps Lift, Drag and Pitch parameters have been retweaked to improve takeoff and landing performance.

This can be easily corrected by simply doing the following after you are in position on the runway...
1) Zoom the MAP display using the RANGE knob to see your current aircraft position.
2) Press the "Direct To" symbol button on the PFD or MAP display.
3) Press the [ENT] button twice to "Activate" a course change from your current location directly to the first waypoint.
