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.

Can you please make similar mods for the Robin DR400 and the DHC-2 Beaver? Pretty please? I love those planes and I would love to have more realistic ones.

Thank you for your mod!
BTW, I've remarked that the C172 Classic Skis variant don't have a release, any chance that you will mod that plane too ?
MGouge425 author
Thanks...
I was just waiting to see if anyone wanted the Classic Ski variant before modifying it. I'll go ahead and do it now since it has been requested.

Thank you very much for all your Mods, it is a pleasure to fly them!
Thank you also for the Documentation you are giving us.
Would you consider making a Mod for the Cessna 208B Grand Caravan?
That would be great, that is if you have the time and you are interested in the plane.

Thanks for the kind words... I'm glad that you are enjoying my mods! Yes, I'll take a look at the Grand Caravan next to see if I can improve it...

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.

Hi, first of all thank you!
Now the addon is properly installed, but for some reason the aircraft stays completely coordinated in both, high and low rpm (no right correction is needed in order to keep the ball in the center while climbing for example).
The flight assistant is in hard mode.
Could you fix this?
MGouge425 author
Thanks for this feedback. I agree that the P-Factor induced yaw is not as realistic as it should be... Unfortunately, MSFS does not model this effect as accurately as it should, and many other aircraft also exhibit this same problem.
To improve it, I recommend making the following change:
p_factor_on_yaw = 1
p_factor_on_yaw = 2
I will include this change in the next release of the mod.

Need help. I copied mge-asobo-aircraft-c172sp-classic-std folder to the MSFS Community folder but I couldn't find MG_Enterprises_C172. But I don't have the same issue with missing JP Logistic C152 which I also copied their mod to MSFS Community folder

The Manufacturers Name in the aircraft selection screen for this aircraft has been changed from MG_ENTERPRISES back to the original TEXTRON as requested by multiple users. It should also now appear near the bottom of the CONTENT MANAGER list as MG_ENTERPRISES C172 with the current version number.

When installing into the MSFS2020 community folder and using the MSFS addons linker it still shows up as cannot read the manifest.json file. How do I know if it working?
MGouge425 author
If it is installed correctly, it should now appear in the CONTENT MANAGER near the bottom of the list as a COMMUNITY mod by MG_ENTERPRISES, and show the current version number. You can also tell if it's installed by the default Pilot viewpoint, which will be slightly higher and at a higher zoom level.

Love your mods. This C172 feels like the real one (I have couple of hundreds hours on real C172SP). Thanks!

Good day. The painting doesn't work for me, the machine is only pink checkered and I can't use it no matter what I do. So far any aircraft I have downloaded has worked. Please help. What might be the problem?
MGouge425 author
Make sure you installed the correct file in the COMMUNITY folder, as described above... Also, this could be caused by a conflict with some other mod or livery you have installed. Try dragging everything else from your COMMUNITY folder to a TEMP folder and see if the problem goes away... If it does, then drag the other mods back into the COMMUNITY folder one at a time to see which one is causing the problem.
