FSX Cessna 172SP Skyhawk N7532Y

Cessna 172SP Skyhawk N7532Y brings a crisp green-and-white fictional repaint to the default Skyhawk in FSX, with optional 1024 or 2048 textures in 32-bit clarity for sharp exterior detail. It integrates cleanly with the stock model and preserves the familiar virtual cockpit and avionics; requires the default C172.

Cessna 172SP Skyhawk. Repaint textures for the fictional N7532Y, a green and white Skyhawk. In an effort to advance beyond the default MS Paint program, this is the author's first repaint attempt using Paint.net and first attempt at experimenting with layering. 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.

CREDITS:

1.) Microsoft, for their default Skyhawk.

2.) The good folks who gave us the wonderful freeware Paint.net program.

3.) Martin Wright, for his wonderful freeware DXTBmp program.

INSTALLATION:

1.) Drag and drop the "texture.N7532Y (1024 x 1024)" and/or the "texture.N7532Y (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.
