Cessna 172 M
I am delighted to present this new C172 mod, which completes the glorious Skyhawk family.
This project is the result of a community effort.
It focuses on M variant.
Compatibility
This plane is built with MSFS2020 SDK and is a 2020 native plane.
It is currenlty mostly compatible with MSFS2024 as a legacy port, that is to say, without fancy new 2024 features.
How do I install it ?
Like all other mods :
- Have a carefull look at the compatibility list before using it.
- Remove previous version if there is one (in case some files are removed).
- Unzip the provided file below, drop the directory from the zip in your community folder.
- You can of course use your prefered mod manager to install / activate / deactivate this mod/

Cessna 172 M variant you said ?
The Cessna 172M built from 1973 to 1976 is a classic Skyhawk known for simplicity, light handling, and excellent reliability. It uses a 150-hp Lycoming O-320-E2D engine, cruises around 105–110 knots, and has a maximum gross weight of about 2,300 lb. The M model is especially popular with flight schools thanks to its forgiving flight characteristics, straightforward systems, and strong reputation for durability.
What’s in this mod ?
You’ll get a new plane in the hangar :
- C172M
This mod is based on the C172SP from asobo, thanks to the to Games content usage rules.
Community project
This mod started as a simple “what if…” in an open discussion in the MSFS forums.
Given the keen interest shown by many fans of the 172M and 172N, the project eventually took shape, thanks to numerous contributions (valuable information, references, photos) from everyone involved.
I received a lot of help for the flight model : kuddos to Canadian Captain Moustache !
Overall, developing this module and continuously improving it as a community has been a very rewarding experience.
