This is a modification to the MSFS 2020 default Asobo Cessna 152 aircraft. This mod is primarily aimed at improving the flight model and realism of this aircraft, providing a more realistic flying experience that is much closer to the actual aircraft, and more suitable for actual flight training. This mod does not add any new functionality to the aircraft. If you are looking for additional functionality, I highly recommend checking out the excellent JPLogistics C152 improvement mod.
This aircraft was originally designed for one primary purpose, basic flight training, and since it was introduced in 1977 it has been used to successfully train over 250,000 new pilots. To make it easier for new pilots to learn and operate, the aircraft was designed to be very stable and easy to fly, with a relatively simple unclutered instrument panel, that includes only the basic necessary standard flight instruments, and no GPS or Autopilot. But, it does include dual COM/NAV radios, and all of the required instrumentation for successfully learning the basics of VOR and ADF navigation, as well as full IFR flight training and certification.
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 actual Cessna 152 POH is also included under the Documentation folder, along with a PDF copy of the FAA Flying Handbook comprehensive flight training guide.
This mod is easily installed by simply unzipping the download file and copying the mge-asobo-aircraft-c152 folder to the MSFS Community folder. It will then replace the existing default Cessna 152 aircraft in the MSFS aircraft selection screen, and will continue to use all previous aircraft Liveries. To uninstall the mod and return to using the MSFS default aircraft, simply remove it from the Community folder.

Hello, I know your title says the default 152, but thought I should ask since I don't know if both Asobo 152 share the same file; I'm wondering if this will also work with the 152 Aerobat that came with the premium version of the sim ?
7 months ago
No... The 152 Aerobat is a completely separate aircraft and would require another mod. Are you requesting that I do one for the 152 Aerobat?

First, thank you for this mod! I have been enjoying getting reacquainted with the C152. But, I have not been able to get the plane to go into a stall. I'm able to slow down to an air speed of below 40 knots while holding the stick back and, for me, it just hangs there. With your mod uninstalled the plane will also hang awhile, but will eventually drop a wing and dive down.

Open the flight_model.cfg file and edit the following line under [FLIGHT_TUNING]:
elevator_maxangle_scalar = 0.75 ;1
Change it to:
elevator_maxangle_scalar = 1
This will increase the elevator sensitivity back to the original value and allow you to achieve a full stall, but it will also increase the elevator twitchiness.

When I install this in the community folder, it still shows up as "Not Installed" on the content manager of the sim. Is this normal? I don't understand if it's installed or not
8 months ago
This mod should appear in CONTENT MANAGER near the bottom of the list as INSTALLED in COMMUNITY, with a version number of 1.0.0 by MG_ENTERPRISES.
You can also tell if it's installed by opening the aircraft WEIGHT & BALANCE / FUEL screen, where you should see two new payload stations labelled BAGGAGE 1 and BAGGAGE 2. Also, make sure you don't have any other C152 mods or liveries installed that could be causing a conflict.

Love the MOD. I haven't been able to turn the tablet on. Help please.

This mod is for the default Cessna 152, which does not have a tablet. What tablet are you referring to?

MGougfe425, thank you for the work with the c152. It'd be perfect that to do the same with DR40

FINALLY a Cessna 152 that actually flies like a 152 🙏🙏🙏 Absolute godsend!! integration with the JPL C152 would be okay I guess but to compare the 2 mods. I would much rather have a 152 that actually flies correctly rather than being able to change the seat and window positions lol. VERY nice job my friend!

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. Press [B] to automatically reset it to the correct local pressure.

No disrespect intended, but with the unbelievably fantastic JPL/WB C152 mod out and at V2, I can't see why anyone would choose to fly the default C152 any more, with or without this FDE mod. Couldn't you apply your FDE tweaks to the "flight_dynamics" and engine.cfg files of the JPL mod, so that people could enjoy both?

I am not allowed make any changes to the JPL C152 without the original authors permission. Also, the purpose of this mod was to improve the real-world standard version of the aircraft, with no added avionics or features, so that it can be used for actual flight training.

Tip of the Day: Since the WBSim/JPLogistics Cessna 152 mod adds a complete new aircraft to MSFS and does not modify or replace the default C152, it can be installed at the same time as this mod with no interference or compatibility issues. Any add-on Liveries designed for the default C152 can also be installed and used with this mod.
