Audio sound packs : If you want to enable either Boris Audio Works (BAW) or ECHO19 sound pack, use this extra mod :

https://www.bagolu.com/dl/bagolu-c172-reimsrocket-hawkxpii-externalsoundpack.zip (for BAW or ECHO19)

• For BAW mod, you need to install the BAW mod on MSFS2020 and MSFS2024
• For Echo19 mod, you need to install the MSFS2020 version on MSFS2020 AND MSFS2024 : but be aware they have the same name (rename them : x-echo19-skyhawk-fs20 & x-echo19-skyhawk-fs24 for ex.)

Recommended packages if you want to use these GPS units :

• TDSSim GTN750
• PMS50 GTN750
• Falcon71 KLN90b

• no incompatibility with WBSims classic mod : it is not related to this plane, WBSims works with Asobo's classic variant.

You may find incompatibility with mods that update default html library in MSFS. Please report them if it's the case.

• Existing Cessna Skyhawk AS1000 LIVERIES are compatible but need to be converted for this mod
• B78XH mod is reported to be cause side effects (it's true with other planes too)
