Cessna 172 Skyhawk Bush kit
A powerfull member of the short take-off and landing capable Skyhawk family built on a Lycoming 210HP STC :
- The C172 Bush Kit
- The C172 Tail dragger
- The C172 Amphibian
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.
Cockpit settings :
You could find two variants in the past, now only one is available since v3.0.0.
The older one were including real files from G1000 and classic versions. With encrypted and unaccessible files, it was getting harder and harder to maintain the mod as-is.
I decided to reuse the interior made for the Reims Rocket / Hawk XPII.
Cockpit is a gauges setup with a choice of radio stacks from simple VFR to advanced Garmin 750 & 650 units.
3D model modifications of the original Asobo Skyhawk plane included :
- large and stable bush wheels
- Sportsman STOL Camber Cuffs on the wings
- Increased flaps angle
Flight model modifications included :
- more power from a STC 210HP 4 cylinders engine
- manual flaps from 0 to 40° (*)
- enhanced brakes
(*) all positions of flaps can be used with an axis or with mouse; they can also be used through 4 positions (with up/down shortcuts)
Liveries included :
Several liveries are included with this plane :
Default livery is a fictional one
Burgondy is inspired by this plane : 172 Taildragger
Green & gold thanks to ANN0V
All dirty liveries have been made by ANN0V
Notes to livery makers :
- From v3.0.0, the plane is like a third variant and requires updates to liveries to be compatible
- Registration numbers are split in two in panel.cfg : you will be able to set different colors for the wing and the side reg.
- Common parts of the plane have the exact same name as the C172 AS1000 model
- New parts have there textures in bush_172_* files (wheels, landing gear...)
- Stickers are baked in the model, if you want to replace with yours, edit the file : BUSH172_STICKERS_ALBD.PNG You can also remove the stickers with a transparent texture file.
- The front of the wings are the sportsman camber cuff, defined in BUSH172_SPORTSMAN_* files.
EzRyder has made a very nice ALLInOne C172 Template. Don't miss that paint kit.
Also, don't miss the blender multi template pack from AIRPAC1
Flight model :
Flight model is based on reaperS73 work on the C172 STC 210HP STOL G1000 and allows to operate in a STOL mode in bush locations.
About this work:
3D model has been made with blender from the export of Skyhawk G1000 Asobo's original model.
All the external textures and animations had to be redone and match the original definitions.
Bush wheels and legs come from the Asobo c152 model.
A huge thanks to Newktv's developpement series that helped a LOT.
Many thanks to EzRyder who figured it out how to use the classic cockpit MikeFear303 for the classic cockpit xml & systems trick !

Looking forward to an Anti-Rocket someday with the anemic 150hp O-320.

Is this compatible with your 'Cessna 172SP Skyhawk AS1000 improvement' mod?

I am posting here as you had said in your reply to me on MSFS Forum that this is the best place to ask questions.
This was my forum post...
"Does anyone know why the Bagolu C172 Classic radios 1 or 2 frequencies seem to be linked?
If I change the NAV 1 frequency, NAV 2 also changes. If I change the COM 1 frequency COM 2 also changes".
This problem does not occur with either the MSFS default C172 Classic or the WB Sim C172.
Here is a quick video link to show the problem...

Amazing aircraft, I've really enjoyed using the tail dragger on bush trips recently. I do have a question about combining with other mods. I use the PMS50 G530 add on along with the C172 realism addon from MGouge425. Do you know if these can all work concurrently or should I be using your mod seperately? Thanks for the great work!

This one is really not the same : it's not a classic 172 by the figures

Perfect! The only issue is that the HDG function is not working, and avionics can come off in the middle of the flight. If you fix it, I will be very happy to continue flying on this beautiful machine!

That's odd, I'll check that !

Super avion avec une excellente stabilité une fois compensé, même lorsqu'on l'utilise sans le pilote automatique, ce qui n'est pas le cas de tous ! Le compensateur n'est pas difficile à régler (j'utilise un Honeycomb Yoke et Trhottle)
Très agréable pour décoller et atterrir d'un petit terrain en herbe grâce à sa puissance et grimper dans les sommets de haute montagne !
En bref, très très bon avion qui donne beaucoup de plaisir.
Merci infiniment pour le partage.
Phil.
