JP Logistics C152 where?

[jlund 380]

I'm looking for the JP Logistics C152 and it's supposed to be on FS.to, but apparently it has been removed and directs me to Discord, BUT I'm nota fan of Discord, since I find it's difficult to navigate and find anything there. Isn't there anywhere else it can be downloaded from (Avsim, Flightsim.com etc)?

Only Discord unfortunately, as far as I'm aware. I'll have to stick with the version I have indefinitely unless it becomes available elsewhere. Shame really.

Yes, I have v2.0.6 and it is fairly well sorted anyway I would say. 

The only thing I couldn't get to work was the add-on pad done by someone else on FS.to.  I just kept getting a white screen.

Check if you have the B787X mod in your Community Folder. This mod prevents the tablet from working, giving you a white screen. If not, probably another mod that is conflicting with it. 
 

I removed the 787 mod as I would rather have the excellent C152 with mod than the still not-very-good 787 with mod.

About

FR172 REIMS ROCKET / CESSNA R172 HAWK XP II
    by bagolu & MBX Aviation

We are  happy to present you this free mod bringing an iconic member of the Cessna 172 family having an interesting power gain.

Nb. even though this is not realistic, it is currently based on the AS1000 mod patch.
A gauges version is planed for the future.

How to install it ?

Like all other mods :

• Remove previous version if there is one (in case some mod files are removed).
• Drop it in your community folder.
• Have a carefull look at the compatibility list

What are Reims Rocket and Hawk XPII ?

The FR172 Reims Rocket was produced by Reims Aviation in France from the late 1960s to the mid-1970s. It was powered by a Rolls-Royce built, fuel-injected, Continental IO-360-H(B) 210 hp (160 kW) engine with a constant-speed propeller.
The Reims Rocket led to Cessna producing the R172K Hawk XP, a model available from 1977 to 1981 from both Wichita and Reims. This configuration featured a fuel-injected, Continental IO-360K derated to 195 hp (145 kW) with a two-bladed, constant-speed propeller. The Hawk XP was capable of a 131-knot (243 km/h) cruise speed. (wikipedia)

What's in this mod ?

This mod is based on the C172SP from asobo, thanks to the to Games content usage rules.

First of all you have an ingame mod manual :

• click on the Help message on the panel, on the left to the PFD.

All options available in this mod can be set in the book on pilot's left compartment storage.

Liveries
The mod includes liveries from real Reims Rocket or Hawk XP II airplanes.

Most of the liveries for Asobo C172SP should be easy to convert to this plane. You may expect modifications on the nose plane.

A specific paint kit is available : mbx-bagolu-reims-fr172-reims-rocket-paintkit-template

What's planned for the future ?

• 2 blade variant
  • most of the XP Hawk have a 2 blade prop, some of the Reims Rocket too
  • 195HP derated engine
• Gauges cockpit (this will be a lot of work, don't be too impatient)
• Sound tweaking
• Synchronisation with 172SP Skyhawk AS1000 improvement

Compatibility

• WT G1000NXI mod is selected by default.
• no incompatibility with WBSims classic mod : it is not related to this plane, it's for classic variant

You may find incompatibility with mods that update default html library in MSFS. Please report them if it's the case.

• Existing Cessna Skyhawk AS1000 LIVERIES are compatible but need to be converted for this mod
• B78XH mod is reported to be cause side effects (it's true with other planes too)
• All other mod modifying base files from fs-base (to change screens, panels, etc)
