Status | production |
A C172 has been the default aircraft in FG since 2000, when it replaced the Navion. It has had a long development and includes a wide variety of simulation features for FG 1.0. See Understanding Propeller Torque and P-Factor
C172 has a simulation of the Bendix/King KAP140 Autopilot.
Variants
The following four variants exist in the FlightGear CVS data repository:
- c172p
- c172p-2dpanel
- c172p-panel-only
- c172r
There is a c172x-set file too, but it depends on a removed file

Development status/Issues/Todo
c172x Cessna 172 flight dynamics testbed -> when using this alias, Flightgear aborts loading !
Outside:
- no landing and navigational lights
3D cockpit:
- only cockpit instruments light at night, no cockpit and panel light available yet
- no rudder control pedals visible
- cockpit is textured but textures need more polish, for example there are no door opener visible at the side doors
- no pilot or co pilot present
- no trim postion indicators in the 3D-cockpit of Cessna c172p Skyhawk 1981
- no flaps position indicators in the 3D-cockpit of Cessna c172p Skyhawk 1981
- light switches are hard to access in the 3D-cockpit of Cessna c172p Skyhawk 1981, it's difficult to read their names either
General:
- It is routine to observe 135 Kias at 2850 RPM in level flight at 1000 MSL, using only 13 gph. This is not the sort of performance seen in real-life Skyhawks.
- What is the expected performance according to your estimation?
