WB-Sim C172 + MSFS2024: there's hope

For those not monitoring the Discord of WB-SIM C172, here are good news. You can use the WB-SIM C172 in MSFS2024 by enabling the C172 Classic (un-crypted) from you previous MSFS2020 Deluxe version, which disable the same C172 Classic (encrypted) from MSFS2024 and now activate from your Community folder the WB-SIM. All info from the WB-Sim C172 Classic Discord Discord

Go to Marketplace, then My Library. Sort the list with 172 for example and Enable the 172 Classic from your MFS2020.

On the warning screen, choose Enable. Then relaunch MSFS.

There’s also a small optional patch from the author to organize the plane better selection menu. Caution this small patch is only for MSFS2024. Do not use on MSFS2020. See Discord

I wasn’t successful to bring back all my WB-SIM C172 textures. Some work, some don’t but at least It’s cool to find the KAP140.

As many MSFS2020 imported aircraft into MSFS2024, there’re some issues: the pilot/passengers are not visible from the external view unable to skip the dynamic registration and the custom liveries

What if someone doesn’t have deluxe edition? How to use it?

If you don’t have the MSFS2020 deluxe edition: you can’t. Even, today, if you have only Deluxe Edition of MSFS2024 : you can’t use the WB-Sim.

In short, you need the C172 Classic uncrypted. This requirment can change later on!

Thanks for the info, i wish it was a standalone and not dependant on default aircraft but hopefully in the future that can be possible! :slight_smile:

@Silvera1657 You just have to hope that A2A release one day a study-level C172 :wink:

Thanks for this post! It has helped a lot. BTW, is there a link to the WB-Sim Discord that actually works? I cannot get there using the one provided here, and older ones have expired.

Thank you for this information. I fly the WB Sim 172 exclusively in 2020.
I was able to enable to 172 classes per your instructions, but am confused on where to get the WB Sim file from to put in the 2024 Community folder, I did drag/drop, then cry/paste from the 2020 Community folder to the 2024 Com folder, restarted the sim but still do not see WB Sim as a selection, even ifs I search “172” or “WB” in 2024.

Just verifying:

  1. Go to Marketplace, then My Library. Sort the list with 172 for example and Enable the 172 Classic from your MFS2020.

  2. Copy the small patch from the author into your MSFS2024 Community folder. This patch aims to better organize the plane selection menu. Caution it’s only for MSFS2024. Do not use on MSFS2020. Direct download (from the author) wbsim-aircraft-c172sp-classic-01_Patch.zip - Google Drive
    You should have the folder “wbsim-aircraft-c172sp-classic-01_Patch” inside your MSFS2024 Community folder.

  3. Copy your “wbsim-aircraft-c172sp-classic” folder into your MSFS2024 Community folder.

Remark: there’re a lot of issues with liveries. Test first without any custom livery.
