First look and beginners guide with the Asobo Cessna C172 Skyhawk in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024
Today I finally got a chance to sit down with the new simulator and take one of the stalwart aircraft for a flight - the Cessna C172 Skyhawk with the Garmin G1000 avionics suite. Along the way I wrote up a functional procedure to get the aircraft started, along with a camera-control reference sheet, and all the keyboard shortcuts you'll need to navigate around while operating the aircraft.
You can get a copy of the functional procedure here:
