Cessna 172 Skyhawk Tail dragger
A powerfull member of the short take-off and landing capable Skyhawk family built on a Lycoming 210HP STC :
- The C172 Bush Kit
- The C172 Tail dragger
- The C172 Amphibian
This is a plane patch over Asobo's Skyhawk and adds a new plane to your hangar (located at the begining : letter C... like Cessna)
This mod respects the Game Content Usage Rules from Microsoft
Cockpit settings :
You will find two variants to download :
- baglu-c172-taildragger-g1000.zip : to be used with any version of MSFS2020
- baglu-c172-taildragger-classic.zip : only if you have the Classic 172 from premium version
Note with the classic model : some features may not work (the xml files from the original plane are encrypted).
Current known issues :
- fuel selector locked on left side (if you have the bug on the Asobo classic 172 you wil have it here too)
3D model modifications of the original Asobo Skyhawk plane included :
- tail center wheel
- large and stable bush wheels
- Sportsman STOL Camber Cuffs on the wings
- Increased flaps angle
Flight model modifications included :
- more power from a STC 210HP 4 cylinders engine
- 4 position flaps (0°, 10°, 20° and down to 40°)

Liveries included :
Several liveries are included with this plane :
Default livery is from ANN0V

Brown is a fictional livery
Brown and beige is from ANN0V
Blue and gray is from ANN0V
Metal red is from ANN0V and is inspired from this story : Plane & Pilot Photo Of The Week: Brian Jenkins’ Bare Metal Beauty
All dirty liveries have been made by ANN0V
Notes to livery makers :
- Registration numbers are split in two in panel.cfg : you will be able to set different colors for the wing and the side reg.
- Common parts of the plane have the exact same name as the C172 AS1000 model
- New parts have their textures in bush_172_* and tail_172_* files (wheels, landing gear...)
- Stickers are baked in the model, if you want to replace with yours, edit the file : BUSH172_STICKERS_ALBD.PNG You can also remove the stickers with a transparent texture file.
- The front of the wings are the sportsman camber cuff, defined in BUSH172_SPORTSMAN_* files.
EzRyder has made a very nice ALLInOne C172 Template. Don't miss that paint kit.
Also, don't miss the blender multi template pack from AIRPAC1
Flight model :
Flight model is based on reaperS73 work on the C172 STC 210HP STOL G1000 and allows to operate in a STOL mode in bush locations.
About this work :
3D model has been made with blender from the export of Skyhawk G1000 Asobo's original model.
All the external textures and animations had to be redone and match the original definitions.
Bush wheels and legs come from the Asobo c152 and savage cub model.
A huge thanks to Newktv's developpement series that helped a LOT.
Huge thanks to beta testers : ANNOV, smvrf, Pops738
Many thanks to EzRyder who figured it out how to use the classic cockpit MikeFear303 for the classic cockpit xml & systems trick !

I'm not sure if this had already been asked, but did the 172 taildraggers not have a tailwheel lock? Does this version taxi fairly accurately for one version or the other? (with or without a tailwheel lock) I don't have a tailwheel endorsement, so I wouldn't know.

I'll work on that when I'll have the customizable interior : it will the be possible to have a lever for that

Looking forward to your map and clippboard application for the G1000 version of the taildragger.

I need to work on my own classic interior first, or I would only be able to get it for the G1000 version (that would give my flames here and there, I guess)

Thanks man for the update! Still in love with this mod. For me the G1000 version is absolutely enough if it means we one day will get the same features as for your regular 172 mod 😉
I know what plane i take out of my hangar tonight 😀

Awesome aircraft! I just did a complete loop around Denali National Park in the Brown and Dirty taildragger, landing on many of the back-country strips as well as some typical

I love these but I can't see others who are flying this in multiplayer to show correctly. They show as tricycle gear slanted back. Not sure if it's just me.

Great mod! One question: is it possible to update both taildragger versions so they can use the Boris 172 sound mod? The Boris mod currently works with the WBSim classic mod and both Asobo 172s, but not your taildraggers. Thanks again for your work

yes, sure, let met check with Boris

this mod have the same animation of luggage and passenger of the other C172 of Bagolu ? sry for my english.
10 months ago
No, at least, not yet
I may work on that later, but that will only be on the garmin AS1000 variant, as I can't edit the class interior (encrypted and payware)
I also plan to model a simple classic interior sooner or later...
So, we'll see !

awesome mod, I have been enjoying what you did to the C172 a lot for months! just noticed in version 2.5.0 of the taildragger (not sure if it was the case before), that the left brake pedal makes both wheels brake, and the right brake pedal does nothing... I double checked with other planes (including your AOA mod) to be sure it wasn't me or my settings...

Love your C172 mods! Will they work with the new WBSIM realism mod from Just Flight?

Sorry, no it won't work : WBsim tunes the different parameters including the engine (so not this "upgrade" here)
