About

C172 NG DIGITAL PRO is the professional edition of our acclaimed C172 NG DIGITAL for X-Plane 12. Same deep simulation - 175 individually simulated components, custom electrical, fuel, and engine systems, a flight model built on real aircraft data.
Now licensed for use in schools, universities, showrooms, exhibitions, and other commercial environments. Built for classroom lessons, fixed-base training aids, and public demonstrations.

Built for Classrooms, Cockpits, and Demonstrations

Fullscreen G1000 Panel

The headline feature of the PRO edition: the entire forward Cessna 172 G1000 panel - PFD, MFD, audio panel, switches, circuit breakers, throttle quadrant, and backup instruments - rendered as a single fullscreen 2D window. Run it on a dedicated display or touchscreen while your other monitors show the view out of the aircraft. No bezels, no 3D cockpit framing - just the panel.

Fullscreen Teaching Panels

Every detachable 2D panel can be shown fullscreen as a standalone teaching tool: a live electrical system schematic where every bus, breaker, and circuit reacts in real time, an animated Lycoming IO-360 engine view with all components visible and clickable, plus PFD, MFD, standby instruments, pedestal, and more.

A Simulation That Explains Itself

The built-in C172 Knowledge Base describes every failable component with illustrations, engine parts are clickable directly on the 3D model, and 30 ready-made failure scenarios let instructors demonstrate system behavior - from a fouled spark plug to a complete electrical failure - at the press of a button.

The Same Simulation Depth Underneath

175 Failable Components

175 simulated components with wear, failures, and realistic interdependencies - each with its own logic, just like in the real aircraft.

Licensing

C172 NG DIGITAL PRO is licensed per seat: one serial number activates one installation on one computer. Licenses are issued through our online license management system and delivered digitally. The PRO edition is intended for commercial and institutional use such as:


  • Classroom lessons and demonstrations about general aviation

  • Aviation familiarization and introductory experiences for students

  • Illustration of aircraft systems, avionics, and flight principles

  • Exhibitions, showrooms, and public demonstrations


Important: C172 NG DIGITAL PRO is not certified for official flight training. It may not be used for logged or credited pilot training, or as part of any certified training device (FFS, FTD, FNPT, AATD, BATD, or equivalent).


If you are building a certified simulator or training device, ask about our Custom Professional Services - we develop tailored, certification-ready simulation solutions for exactly that purpose.


C172 NG DIGITAL PRO is an independently developed simulation created by Airfoillabs s.r.o. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, licensed by, or approved by any aircraft, engine, or avionics manufacturer, or by any civil aviation authority.
