| I'm happy to present you this mod over the ASOBO's Cessna 172SP Skyhawk AS1000
(for the impatients asking about Classic gauge variant, please read until the end of theses notes)
What is it ?
It's an improvement of the default Skyhawk AS1000 from Asobo (one of the default planes). Interior animations have been made from the static model, custom objects have been added.
When installing this mod, it replaces the default Skyhawk AS1000 (no new plane in the hangar).
How do I install it ?
Like all other mods :
- remove previous version if there is one (in case some files are removed).
- drop it in your community folder.
- have a carefull look at the compatibility list
What's in this mod ?
TLDR : Vidéo demo
First of all you have an ingame mod manual :
- click on the Help message on the panel, on the left to the PFD.
With this mod you will be able to :
- Open the doors
- Open the windows
- Use the sun visors
- You have 4 axes for the visors : 3 rotations and 1 slide
You will get customizations directly from the cockpit :
- A handbook on pilot's left compartment storage
- Accessible when you look down : "checklist01" camera : CTRL+6
- Click on the book, you will get a page with clicable options (light is required in the cockpit)
- OPTIONAL FAIRINGS
- You can show/hide the front and/or back wheel fairings
- WHEEL CHOCKS, TIE DOWNS, COVERS
- You can park your plane with optional wheel chocks and tie downs (currently visual, no effect on mouvement yet)
- Set/remove external covers
- PILOT & COPILOT BODIES
- You can show/hide pilot and copilot in inside views. It does not affect external views
- Set pilote or copilote weight to zero if you want them to be hidden in external views
- PASSENGERS
- You can show/hide left and right passengers in interior and exterior views.
- Set their weight to non zero to make them appear.
- CUSTOM SEATS CONFIGURATION
- You can show/hide the front right seat and the back seats
- STATE SAVING
- You can have all the switches, levers, fuel tank levels, visors, doors and windows remembered
- It's an option, if chosen, state loading will occur at parking spot only. It will be partial in any other case.
- If you don't want it, plane will start as it usually does
- Several static objects decorating the interior (bottles, bags, maps...)
You also have two new checklists tools :
- A checklist card
- take it on the top of the panel, it will stay visible in the corner of your eye during the different phases of the flight
- no checkmarks, no hint, no automatic help : they're made to be read
- you can show/hide it from the options handbook
- A flip checklist box
- to follow easily steps of your takeoff and landing phases and remember what you've done
- you can show/hide it from the options handbook
What's planned for the future ?
- Cargo & pax setups
- In plane maps
- In plane external apps (LNM, Neofly...)
- And more !
Compatibility
- WT G1000NXI mod is selected by default.
- This mod has been tested with the current version of MGouge425's Asobo C172SP AS1000 Realism Mod and they appear to be fully compatible, so they can both be installed without any apparent interference.
- Existing Cessna Skyhawk AS1000 LIVERIES are compatible
- as long as the models are not overwritten in the livery itself. In this case, original interior/exterior will be used
- As long as the panel.cfg/xml are not overwritten (see FAQ if you have blank screens on checklist/book)
- My other C172 mods are not modified by this mod, but they still work :
- B78XH mod is reported to be cause side effects (it's true with other planes too)
- PMS GTN750 mods are not compatible (until they're updated to use "override_base_container ")
- WBSims classic mod is not related to this plane (it's for classic variant) : no incompatibility
AS1000 variant ? Classic Gauges variant ?
This mod is made from Asobo's Skyhawk AS1000 thanks to Games content usage rules : 3D model has been imported in Blender, modified and exported as this mod.
There will be no classic gauges mod based on Asobo's Skyhawk model as it is :
- encrypted (after SU10, only cfg files are available)
- part of MSFS Premium (not redistributable as is)
A full build of the cockpit from scratch would be necessary for a gauges variant. I may work on that in the future, but it's not planned yet...

============================================================
SU11 Compatibility status : OK with v >= 1.3.0
============================================================
I recommend MGouge425's Asobo C172SP AS1000 Realism Mod as a complementary mod for a model closer to POH :
https://flightsim.to/file/43049/asobo-c172sp-as1000-realism-mod
============================================================
Warning : passengers usually have zero weight by default when starting flight : raise it if you want to make them appear.
============================================================
As a frequent question, I will not be working on C172 classic (gauges)
XML files and 3D models are still encrypted after SU10, (only .cfg files have been) and anyway it would not be possible to deliver the plane freely nor to limit to MSFS premium users.
============================================================
Happy skyhawking !

Hi! It works well, but only on default liveries. I see in the compatibility section that it will work if a livery doesn't overwrite the models, but is there a way I can check and see if that's what is happening? If a livery is overwriting the models, is it possible to correct that? From what I can see, these liveries should only be textures and not models...
bagolu 4 day(s) ago
Remove panel/* files from your liveries if they don't change the registration color.

Problems: PFD did not come on, MFD was dim, avionics lighting was all the way up, there was nothing at all in the Handbook, unlike the Help demonstrated.
bagolu 7 day(s) ago
check the compatibility list : you have another mod conflicting (from the list or another one)
check with this mod alone in community to be sure. If it still fails, you may have a problem with a stock package (skyhawk, wt1000, fs-base...)
dado76cro 4 day(s) ago
I was having compatibility issues and found the problem with me...Heavy Division/B78XH mod was giving me problems. I also removed it from the community folder and now everything is ok.
Farfalla1 4 day(s) ago
Thanks! I'll check into it.

Greetings
I just downloaded and unpacked this mod into my Community folder, but no matter what I do I can't see this new Cessna in the game. Could someone please advise me what is the problem ?
bagolu 9 day(s) ago
Do you still see the "Textron Aviation Cessna 172 Skyhawk (G1000)" plane in the hangar
Has it cowling covers, right door opened, wheel chocks ?
You can also check you have the mod in the content manager

This is what we dreams our sim could be, customizable details that give the best inmersion experience in simulation, we can't thank you enough for this 😊
What file must we modify to see the AI stationary aircraft with the covers and chocks?
Cheers
bagolu 11 day(s) ago
I have no idea about that : I'll check to see if it is documented
Socorrista22198 10 day(s) ago
Or maybe release a simple model with lods only to be stationary. If it could use the same UV map we could use it with our actual liveries (but of course modding the liveries to be compatible with this new simobject). Would be awesome!
Socorrista22198 7 day(s) ago
Found it! Creating a new model.ai folder for example, and including also your c152.xml. Inside the .xml, search the seccion where the animation calls the trigger and replace for 1. So covers and chocks always on for ai aircrafts. Only hope they don't fly with covers on ^m^
bagolu 6 day(s) ago
thanks for the tip !
SoloDog
Great mod! With the enhancement mod and GTN750 mod it's now my go-to 172. I don't mean to be greedy but is it just the one set of rear passenger models available? I think it's the C414 or 310 you can change some parameters and get different passengers. Just checking. 😊
bagolu 11 day(s) ago
That's one set for now : I used asobo pilots models and had to change their positions, scale a little, etc. Lot of work to get them in place.
More passengers is now in the todo list 😉

I've just discovered a small error. Somehow the vents or the texture on the inner wing front are not displayed correctly. You can see something, but it looks rather shadowy. The textures are from the "C172SP_AIRFRAME_LIVERY_ALBD.PNG". You can't see them in your photos here either. It's just a small thing, but maybe you can fix it in an upcoming update.
Otherwise, as already mentioned, a great mod.
bagolu 11 day(s) ago
Have you got a picture of that ?
SebStep91 11 day(s) ago
You can even see it here above on your own pictures for the mod😉 I'll send you a comparison photo later....
TBM900
hello, the problem I have is that the throttle goes from full back to idle....and even if i aplly full throttle on my joystick this happens continously that the throttle goes full and idle and back to full....I only have this issue with this aicraft/mod
bagolu 13 day(s) ago
I have no idea what it can be, the 3D model animations have been remade for that part, but no code has been touched for the behavior.
Could you check if you have this with this mod alone in your community folder ?
TBM900 13 day(s) ago
I found out that I have the same problem with the Reims C172 package as well. Tried a couple of other aircrafts but everything is fine there. I deleted the mod also completely and reinstall it but with the same outcome...really strange
bagolu 11 day(s) ago
With the reims rocket alone in community ?
alainmax23
Everything is perfect for me, what a great job! Just one thing: I would like my username to appear: ALMA AIR. How should I do it ?
bagolu 11 day(s) ago
Where do you want it to appear ?
alainmax23 8 day(s) ago
Pardon, j'ai confondu avec le C 414 qui ne permet pas de changer l'immatriculation. Dans votre appareil, c'est possible. J'en profite pour vous renouveller mes félicitations, l'immersion et les détails sont formidables.
bagolu 8 day(s) ago
Merci 😉

While most of the options work (pilot/copilot visibility, fairings etc) the passenger visibility options have no effect and the rear seat remains empty.
ANN0V 14 day(s) ago
You have to set a weight for them.
Crispy136 14 day(s) ago
Thanks. I'll give that a go.

The same here. Hand book options not working.
bagolu 18 day(s) ago
Another mod is probably conflicting. See the list of known mods at first
dado76cro 11 day(s) ago

Can you try with this mod alone in community ?
No one reporting the problem seemed to have tried
Pmunas
Sun visor not working. Hand book options not working
bagolu 17 day(s) ago
Have you checked compatibility section ?
This usualy means a livery overrinding xml with another one
It can also be another mod
Pmunas
Hi Bagolu, I tried click on option check marks on the manual pop-up. It does not change the options, Could you help on this? Thank you. I have not tried yet It looks like a great mod.
Thanks
bagolu 17 day(s) ago
It looks like a conflict of mods : see the list in case you have a known one
Enska
How to use liveries that have custom color/font on the registration? I think it modifies the panel.cfg and has to be deleted to make it work with this mod, and if that is done the custom registration is not there. Help is appreciated.
bagolu 22 day(s) ago
copy the mod panel.cfg file in your livery panel directory and change the VPainting01 section with the appropriate painting00 line from your livery.
(I hope I'm clear enough !)
adomeitus
Thank you for a great mod, I love it! There seems to be a weird specific conflict between it and OnAir since SU11 - is that something you're interested in knowing more about?
bagolu 24 day(s) ago
Sure, if I can help to fix it. I don't own an onair subscription though
Nokeel
Perfect for a bit more RP and realism!
Works with the default livery though, can I change the files in the TEXTURE to have my own livery? Or will it remove your options?
Nokeel 28 day(s) ago
ok it worked... thx anyways 😉
flightsimdude
Good work! Do you plan on merging the SU11 changes to the 172 flight model?
bagolu 1 month(s) ago
I have no idea of the changes yet, but I should be able to follow them : my modifications are mostly visual.
We'll se when SU11 is out and when my fiber cut is fixed :/
flightsimdude 13 day(s) ago
Is this in the works? Otherwise, would it be possible to make this mod its own selectable plane in the list? Thanks 😊

premioboi26 1 month(s) ago
I dont have the WB Sim and I'm having the same issue.
Acrylico34 1 month(s) ago
or maybe for the B787 heavy division
bagolu 1 month(s) ago
WBSims does not conflict, it only modifies the C172 Classic.
That's probably another mod
Acrylico34 1 month(s) ago
the heavy division mod??
bagolu 1 month(s) ago
B78XH mod is referenced in the incompatible mods list.
It also conflicts with other planes not only this mod.
If you find other mods causing problems, I'll be glad to know which ones.

FlyingAxx
Havn't tried yet the new version, but didn't use the previous one anymore as I didn't like to be moved out of the plane when I just wanted to slide on my seat a bit to the outer side in order to get a better view downwards. Normally the size of the cockpit limits such movements in all other planes - including the default C172,
However, your efforts are really great. Probably you can find out the reason for this glitch.
bagolu 1 month(s) ago
This is still the case
