EzRyder has made a very nice ALLInOne C172 Template. Don’t miss that paint kit.

Also, don’t miss the blender multi template pack from AIRPAC1

Flight model

Flight model is based on reaperS73 work on the C172 STC 210HP STOL G1000 and allows to operate in a STOL mode in bush locations.

Where to sealand

Well obviously, anywhere ! You will find a lot of very nice customized places with seaports, pontoons, marinas on flightsim.to If you have no idea where to start, look at the nice seaports in Alaska made by Photosbykev and sjfly2.

Norway fjords are also a very nice place to fly : See thes multi-parts charter pilot adventures from Koschi : Norway’s fjords

About this work

3D model has been made with blender from the export of Skyhawk G1000 Asobo’s original model.

All the external textures and animations had to be redone and match the original definitions.

A huge thanks to Jonx’s developpement series that helped a LOT.

Many thanks to EzRyder who figured it out how to use the classic cockpit, MikeFear303 for the classic cockpit xml & systems trick !
