Top level files are usually to big to store on GitHub, so instead you can download them from the links on this spreadsheet. Please start an issue should a link not properly work.
Take a look at the Standard components the Cessna 172 Project uses.
We all have issues. Let's be honest. If you find any that pertain to the 172 project, create a new blank issue, and describe what it is the best you can. Create a new issue for if a part breaks, so we can factor it into a redesign.
The Flight Simulation Community has given me so much and I would like to give back. Free C172 Plans were what started me off in flight simulation when I was younger, and I don't want cost to be an obstacle for any aspiring individuals to build their very own Cessna 172 Flight Sim.
If you are just getting started in Flight Simulation: I believe in you. You can do this. It will take time and hard work, but for me it is definitely worth it, and you might find it is too.
