This is a heavily modified Cessna 172. It has a Pegasus 400 Tubocharged Hybrid Engine built and tuned by Derp Your Hooves Aircraft Tuning Division. This Cessna can fly in excess of 300 knots and is also capable of STOL. It comes equipped with a varaible pitch propeller ( you have to bind this option to your HOTAS, or keyboard, there is no pich knob in the cockpit) So to get the full experience of this aircraft you should use the varaible pitch propeller binding as if it were a C182, or King Air. It has no prop feathering at all. It does however have 4 notches of flaps with the fourth notch being able to be used as a speed brake, dont try to use the fourth notch in flight for anything else other then slowing down.
Fly with caution this is not an aerobatic aircraft, it still has the same airframe as a standard Cessna 172 with minor reinforcements. If you insist on doing barrel rolls or loops do them at speeds lower then 120 knots or you will rip the wings off. It also has excellent fuel economy and range with double the fuel capacity and an unkown range. Read the owners manual before flying it.
I strongly suggest setting the parking brake and applying full brakes while you start it as there is so much torque it tends to lurch foward during start up. ( pushing back far away from hangars is highly reccomended also ). While loading on a runway Microsoft Flight Simulator tends to throw the aircraft down the runway so starting in ramp parking is strongly suggested, not spawning on a runway.
Lastly no this is not a real aircraft but I have not modified the flight model much so if it seems stiff it could be that Cessnas aren't intended to fly in excess of 200+ knots. Slow down and it becomes less stiff.
SECIAL THANKS TO bagolu for giving me permission to modify this Cessna. One livery is mine the other was in the file they let me modify.
To install this: copy or move the file "pony767-c172-Pony High Output" to your Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 "Community" folder.
This will install a seperate Cessna 172 into your Microsoft Flight Simulator and will not alter your standard Cessna 172 Classic or G-1000.
**Note: This is not to be sold anywhere. If you decide you would like to alter it and publish a varaition of it, contact me before publishing a modified version of this aircraft.
I have heard about a mysterious G-1000 called "Project Pegasus" caution once you watch the video footage you too may know too much! https://youtu.be/tKwtNfidJXM

It's strange that you mention that I guess you've never heard about a Top Secret project called "Project Pegasus?" Here's some information about it https://youtu.be/tKwtNfidJXM

I wonder why I lost electric power twice after a coule minutes of flight.... I Could not figure out why..... Otherwise, it's fun.

I'm glad you like it. I'm not completely sure how everything in the various config files translate into real life. After I saw an actual STOL version of this aircraft I played with the settings and just like I thought you can make this plane go Mach 1 if you want but it has it's consequences. I had it set up as a fixed prop and it was better on the engine stability, like the vacuum would stay constant etc, but it wouldn't fly slower then 120 knots on idle. I'm still experimenting with it but unfortunately keeping the aerodynamics and flight model as close to real life as possible. I'm sure that I'll continue to play with it. It really was just a fun experiment to see if it was possible in the sim. I hope you continue to enjoy this impossible little thing.

Absolutely no power band at all... It felt like an on and off switch. Was able to reach 250 knots in about 3 feet off the runway. :/

Yep, I have a version that does about 500 ish knots but it also just takes off like a child that drank 12 pots of coffee and ate a pound of sugar.
