(Remove TODO items - we now have a flaps position indicator, and you can hide the yoke to see the switches.) |

| This article describes content/features that may not yet be available in the latest stable version of FlightGear (2020.3). You may need to install some extra components, use the latest development (Git) version or even rebuild FlightGear from source, possibly from a custom topic branch using special build settings: This feature is scheduled for FlightGear (unknown).  If you'd like to learn more about getting your own ideas into FlightGear, check out Implementing new features for FlightGear. |

| 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

Development status/Issues/Todo
Outside:
- textures/ mapping needs some correction
3D cockpit:
- cockpit is textured but textures need more polish
- no pilot or co pilot present
- the light switch labels are hard to read.
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?
