    Asobo C172SP Classic Realism Mod - Image 1

    Description

    This is a modification to the MSFS 2020 default  Asobo C172SP Classic aircraft, including the FLOATS and SKIS variant of the C172SP.

    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-classic folder to the MSFS Community folder.  It will then replace the existing default C172SP Classic 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 aircraft and this mod are only for the MSFS Deluxe Edition and Premium Deluxe Edition.

    Hi! and thanks for all wonderful improvements you share with us! .:)

    Question: I HAve disabled the 2024 sp classic, and now use the 172sp classic from 2020 by enabling that in "my library" in 2024.
    Do you think I Can use this mod in that case ?
    And how will I see that the mod is actually used?

    Thanks, Dave.

    I don't know... Give it a try and see if it works! If it does, you should see the Manufacturer Name change from TEXTRON to CESSNA, and the tail number should change from ASXGS to "C172SP". You should also see a new BAGGAGE 2 Payload added to the WEIGHT AND BALANCE screen.

    Hi jdavidson136!
    Well it did not crash the sim or anything, but I found no way of confirming if it was using this mod. Also i think the "in sim" 172 sp in 24 is great and now works well.
    I can also seriously recommend Bagolu's Mods, he has a HAWK 172-XP here @ flightsim.to that is wonderful, also full analog!

    TIP OF THE DAY: To set the parking brake without hiding the yoke, just click the yoke above the SKYHAWK logo. You can also press [CTRL]+[DEL] to toggle the Parking Brake.

    I always use your mods, as the "feel" gets so much better in the flight dynamics. Sometimes subtle, but that's what it is about, polishing of the un-realistic stuff!

    Will this work with WB-SIM mod ? If not, why not?

    Thanks for your invaluable mods! :)

    This mod also works very well for MSFS2024, except for the Range Increase/Decrease buttons of GNS540 - the INCREASE button decreases the range and DECREASE button increases the range. Other than that, everything else works well.

    This aircraft is only available in those editions of MSFS, and the mod requires the default aircraft.

    When flying the amphib version I keep getting annoying AI voice telling me Gears up for water landing, which I do not need flying alone. Is this in this mod or in the original Asobo plane? Is it in the sound.cfg, which I have not found so far.

    This is the normal warning you will always get after lowering the Flaps to FULL for landing. It is a standard safety feature of the Amphibious landing gear system to prevent landing on water with the gear down, or landing on the runway with the gear up... Verify the Gear Position lights are BLUE for a water landing, or GREEN for a runway landing, then press the flashing Warning Light to cancel the alert.

    problem is - it keeps sounding without stopping until I shut down the avionics.

    I'm really looking forward to giving this a go - I'm leveraging MSFS to augment my real life flight training to 'chair fly' and reinforce procedures - nothing beats actual seat time in the aircraft but there are only so much $$$ to go around. Many thanks for the hard work and effort that goes into packaging and maintaining this mod for the rest of us to enjoy.

    BTW - MSFS didn't make it easy to find the 'community' folder... best tip I found online was to go into MSFS, choose OPTIONS/GENERAL OPTIONS/DEVELOPERS (left nav bar) and toggle 'ON' to expose a small-font navigation bar on the top of the game window. Choose 'Tools'/'Virtual File System' to open a dialogue window. Under 'Packages Folders' choose 'Open Community Folder' and pow, it opens. I recommend pinning the folder for future reference. Return to MSFS and click 'Devmode' and choose 'Exit DevMode' to close the mini nav bar.

    Version History

    Version 1.2.2 ⦁ 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.
