FSX Blue And White Cessna 172

Blue-and-white Cessna 172SP Skyhawk repaint for the default aircraft in FSX recreates real-world N3804Q with crisp, clean paintwork inspired by a classic model-box scheme. Two texture resolutions are included, 1024 and 2048, rendered in 32-bit with no mipmaps to keep markings and panel detail sharp in the virtual cockpit.

Blue And White Cessna 172. Default Cessna 172SP Skyhawk repaint textures for the real world N3804Q, a light blue/dark blue on white Skyhawk livery, seen on a model airplane box, that many of you may remember having built. Current real world photos show that this aircraft has been repainted, and FAA records show that she was substantially damaged in a bounced landing accident. Includes both 1024 x 1024 and 2048 x 2048 size textures, 32 bit with no mips for clarity. Install one, or the other, or both at once if you wish. Easy installation. Repaint by Tom Tiedman.

INSTALLATION:

1.) Drag and drop the "texture.N3804Q (1024 x 1024)" and/or the "texture.N3804Q (2048 x 2048)" folders into your default "C172" folder.

2.) In the usual fashion, copy and paste the two enclosed [fltsim.X] entries found below into your C172 "aircraft.cfg" file in the proper logically sequential order, remembering to change the "X's" in [fltsim.X] to the next numbers in line among your Skyhawk repaints. Then click 'file', then click 'save', of course.

3.) Have a wonderful flight!

How to install this mod

FSX / P3D aircraft
  1. Extract the downloaded archive

    Use 7-Zip (free) or WinRAR to extract the ZIP to a temporary folder. Don't install while still zipped — the simulator can't read inside ZIP files.
  2. Copy aircraft files into SimObjects

    Place the aircraft folder inside FSX\SimObjects\Airplanes\. The folder must contain an aircraft.cfg file. Effects go into FSX\Effects\; gauges go into FSX\Gauges\.
  3. Verify in FSX

    Launch FSX, go to Free Flight → Select Aircraft and find your new aircraft under its manufacturer.
  4. Always read the included readme

    Every mod ships with a readme.txt or README file. It tells you exactly where files go, what dependencies are needed, and any quirks specific to this add-on.
