Fly back to the 1960's and 1970's with this range of Cessna liveries.
Using popular highlights from the two decades, this is a range of 4 colours for the standard and 4 colours for the G1000 models.. Each has been named and comes as a variation of the beautiful 1956 livery from the first Cessna 172.
I started this range of liveries as I wanted to produce something that was unique for me - I am doing a tour of the UK and was experimenting with old colours and old liveries. However, having produced one for my daughter to experience in VR (she is unable to use controllers to fly for herself - if only I could get the game to work with eyegaze alone) I have decided to make them public (well, its been a while since Smeary released anything - it has been a year so far eh!)
Credit and much thanks go to Nutkinthe3rd for the original livery, which is what inspired me in the first place. It is only with kind permission that I make this range available. You can find his work here: https://flightsim.to/file/2655/cessna-172-1956-g1000-classic
To install - simply unzip the folder and move the 8 files into your 'community' folder.
I love getting comments and feedback, so let me know what you think :-)

I really love them! Your work always goes the extra mile. Is there any chance you can make them compatible with the floaters and skis as well? (If there is a way of doing it on your own already, I am not familiar) In fact, I think it was mentioned in the comments, that its possible to convert all the liveries between classic and AS1000 and I am just as clueless on that too.

Thanks for the comment. I wil have a look at how to convert them to the floaters and ski's and will do that along with the X series.
As for making all colours available for all versions... well, I did it to encourage me to fly all the versions...

Inside is missing when viewing on the outside and zooming out, not SU5 compatible

Hi Fungaming - yeah... I updated the files earlier today with the fix in. It seems the requirements for a texture file had changed for SU5.
Hope this helps

There is a missing texture inside the aircraft https://ibb.co/nQyBgsJ hope you can fix that

These are gorgeous. Really makes me wish someone would do a proper 50's "fastback," "straight tail" 172 for the sim, though.

Thanks a lot, i love such "old-school-ish" liveries a lot! They make me feel so young again...
😉
Could you please please please also make them for the 152?
That would be THE absolute perfect thing to get!

The 152 is a frightening layout to design! If I get a chance I will take a look though it isn't straightforward

Love the colors. But, is it possible to get all colors available on both 172's? Also, the colors for the Classic 172 seem to be missing the interior views when viewed from the outside.
SmearyGrain author
No, I made the colours like that deliberately so I would want to fly both types... so I am quite happy how they are.
Not sure what you mean about the interiors.... just checking my own screenshots and I can see inside the cockpit for all of them. You may need to explain - are you using another mod for it?
3.5 start because I didn't make the colours you want is a little harsh
