April 18, 20215 yr I haven't had so much fun for ages! Really cracking mods of the default C172 (G1000 only at this stage) by Bagolu over at flightsim.to, and nice repaints as well. It's got big wheels without covers (I got my pants off at last!), a bit more power (revs to 2700!), and mods to flaps (3 stage to 40 degree angle) and wing-tip mods (Camber Cuffs on the wings)... First came the nose-wheeled version, and now there is a C172 tail-dragger version. Also, another variant is on the way. What do you think? Floats? Ski's? It drops in the community folder, and fits along side and does not over-write the default C172 (which is good). It doesn't sit next to the default 172 in the aircraft list though, it will be at the beginning of the aircraft selection screen under 'bush Cessna' if I recall correctly. I thought it hadn't gone in at first, so just note it is not next to the default C172 in the list. https://flightsim.to/file/12387/cessna-172-bush-kit https://flightsim.to/file/12978/cessna-172-tail-dragger I haven't tried the tail-dragger yet as I was having too much fun in the big bouncy tyred nose-wheeled one. Give it a go - loads of fun! I just flew for an hour all around the Sedona - Flagstaff region (normally stutter free here). I did quite a few field landings and STOL take-offs!

April 18, 20215 yr Absolutely loving this C172 bush kit mod. Exactly what I had been hoping for (well not exactly, the steam gauge version would be even better, but unfortunately seems not possible due to the encryption). Highly recommended.
April 18, 20215 yr When I first saw it I thought someone had screwed up and posted the PropStrike Studios WorkHouse 172 Bush Kit for XP-11. That's what it reminds me of and it is awesome. Wonder if anyone has done a Machmell Fisheries scenery for MSFS 🙂 I love that scenery in XP-11! I am having a Multiplayer Event next Saturday and this is one of the planes we will be flying, For info check out my Discord link in my signature if interested in flying this plane with a Group? Info about the event will be posted here soon! Man I hope a float version is in the works of this aircraft?

April 18, 20215 yr Found the Machmell Fisheries and Bella Coola sceneries. They are on flightims.to! https://flightsim.to/file/1046/machmell-fisheries-2020-v1-1 https://flightsim.to/file/564/cybd-bella-coola-valley-water-level-fix https://flightsim.to/file/1288/cau8-rivers-inlet-airport If anyone cares?

Wow - Smart! I can't believe how many quality freeware airfields we are getting in such a short space of time. These three will be perfect for these new Cessna's. I am hoping for a float version as well, but I think it may be a lot more difficult for the author. Someone has done it for the cub though apparently (not sure if it was the default or Grravel one). A few people (including me) have asked / hinted at the C172 with normal sized 'naked' wheels as well (without the pants).

No, they are referencing an STC that can be applied to a default C-172 to convert it from tricycle gear to conventional gear (tail dragger). The STC is available for C-152 as well, and I am hoping we may one day see one of those as well. I'm really glad to see this! Kerry W.

April 21, 20215 yr It's getting even better - the C172 mods are now also available with the steam gauge cockpit. Awesome!
