Hi, 

Firstly my apologies for being off topic but I don't want to create an individual topic for this. 

I'am currently seeking for any possible mods for C172 (G1000) ? 

There are great improvement efforts for planes like DA40 DA62 CJ4 and C208 but I'm not awere if there is any for C172 ?

Looking for advice if any exists updated regularly 

Kind regards.

I posted this yesterday in the Hangar,  in case you guys didn't see it. I thought it was quite comical.   /Sorry for quoting myself.

Quote

 

These three guys live in India in a very remote village.    Their names are Babu,  Raeen,  and Sarru.

I've been watching them for a while now,  because the've never seen most of the things which I take for granted everyday.    They live very simple lives,  but their perspective is wholesome and their minds always seem to be in the right place.

I think their age difference is one factor that I enjoy,  different generations and all that.

They don't own the channel,  the channel employs them as reactors.   Yesterday,  they were shown footage of an a320 for the first time.   None of them had ever seen an airplane before.  😁

The old guy,  Babu,  recently started performing songs at the end.  He plays a mean drum,  and I like his simple folk songs.   Not entire sure if he writes them on the fly,  or not.

People in that YT thread want to start a crowd fund to get old man Babu up into the sky.  They really had me laughing with this one.    

Some of life's joys are simple.

Thanks I will have look on them but I was referring to standart version of C172 G1000. These kits are really fun for bush flyers but not me in general 🙂 I was expecting to see some improvements on systems - perf. values and - animations and etc for std version. I guess there is none ? 

Kind regards.

I recall that Asobo was going to address issues with Turboprops in the sim at some point… has that happened yet?

Asobo made some small tweaks a while back,  but it still needs much work.

The 208b realism mod was updated today.   Prior version was 2108.4.

Thanks for linking this, I've been flying the default aircraft a lot recently so will be nice to see what improvements this makes.

Do you know if there is a Propeller mod for it? The pack one on flightsim.to that "fixes" the blur (especially handy in VR) doesn't include the C208b unfortunately.

I have a strange black box on the top of the Grand Caravan's fuselage since day 1.
Does someone know how to fix that annoying bug?
Thanks!

I have also see it off and on since release. Haven't seen it lately tho. You only see it in outside view, but if you have the sun at your back the "black box" will cast a shadow on the prop. So it's always there even when you cant see it. So I think it's a problem with the model and unless Asobo fixes the "glitch" in the model the annoyance will remain.

 

Fingers still crossed (makes it hare to type 🤞)that WU6 on Tuesday fixes the since SU5 cockpit switches that are now INOP. Stall Heat,Backup Pump, & Heat Bleed.

Yes, I have the box when I got to outside view from the VC both in mod version and the vanilla.  Who put the bags up there?  Otherwise, what a great plane!

Can we get this mod to work with the Caravan no-pod version?

I haven't flown the Caravan for a while. But with the new G1000 mod and the C208 mod I thought I'd give it another go. Wow !

The aircraft is relatively easy to fly and very docile.... just like the real aircraft. Just a big 172 as most van pilot's will tell you. I'm having a great time doing RNAV's and ILS approaches, and flying into small airports etc.

I would love to see an amphibian C208. I used to do a bit of flying around the Kimberleys in Western Australia out of Broome in these to Talbot bay , Cape Leveque and Mitchell falls. Ahhh.. the memories. 

Anyone wanting to step up to a turbine, this is the way to go. It's great to be " back in the Van " !

Using this mod since months and now the NEW one with the go for the SU5 update and the 1000NXI mod - so just a great way to fly.

And thanks to WT for this fine 1000NXI Job, great work, well done !

cheers 😉
