C172 that behaves properly / flight dynamic wise?

Featured Replies

Hi Everyone.

Have any of you (CFI) found a mod and or a complete 172 model that has the proper behavior when performing Commercial / Ground / Flight maneuvers, using Jstick and Rudder pedals?

I am unable to find a good mod to get the XP12 to perform properly, by book / practical test standards . I was able to the X11, X10, X9... to get a credible behavior but unable to get good results on X12.

Some of the problems are on the ground in Xwind with full power, over banking in left turns and many others..

I've attempted some wing mods, ground friction.. Thank you.

The default Cessna 172 in X-Plane 12 is fine. I believe you are doing something wrong or have not set up your hardware appropriately.

If you detail your findings a bit better and also state why you feel that it does "not behave properly" we can discuss - so far your claims are unsubstantiated, unverifiable and only anecdotal.

I personally find the SimCoders Reality Expansion Packages to give very good results, especially when seeking the nuances of flight.

It’s cheap, too: $20 and adds directly in to the Default 172. Or you can make a copy of the 172 and upgrade that, so you have both to compare.

But first, I’d take Litjan up on his offer of assistance. A LOT of flight sim addon misbehavior has more to do with peripherals than anything…🤙
