A quick tutorial by Daniel on how to operated the JTA <3
The C172 JT-A is a C172 S with a new engine. The JT-A is faster, while burning less fuel than the C172S. No needing to play with the mixture or worry about density atlitude. The 155hp turbo diesel engine with FADEC makes flying the JT-A almost feel like cheating.
1. ENGINE
This C172 has the Continental CD155 155 HP engine. This is a turbocharged diesel engine controled by a FADEC, similar to the DA40TDI, but with 20 more ponies. The sound file is from the DA40NG. The FADEC runs just like the DA40 and DA62 Mods. No need to control mixture and prop.
- Accurate engine performance in relation to pressure altitude and temperature
- Accurate fuel flows
- Custom engine and oil temperature simultion with thermostat and oil/water heat exchanger
- Added oil and fuel starvation when flying inverted.
2. Flightmodel
- Faster cruise speeds at higher altitudes
- Smoother less twitchy control compared to default
- Improved Cl table and stall characteristics
- Increased flap lift, drag and moment
- Increase pitch up and p-factor from the engine
- Tighter turn radius on the ground
- More accurate susspension and sitting attitude
3. Compatible with WT G1000 NXi
- Added systems and fuel page with funtional fuel totaliser
- Correct engine and custom ammeter indications
- CAS messages added for engine, failures and other systems.
4. Systems
- ECU run-up
- Functional windshield defrost
- Simulated fuel/gearbox temperature
- Improved autopilot PIDs with correct lateral and vertical limitations
5 Visuals
- BIG Thanks to Bagolu for adding the MT Prop! (Shitty texture by me)
- BIG Thanks to DanielLOWG for recreating the JT-A cockpit!
- Improved External lighting (Uwajimaya's mod)
- Added white Navlight
- Quad Flash strobes
- Unique livery included by @BilingualHarp7
6. Other
- Fuel totaliser can be reset using the ELT

I will put in some time to test every aspect in detail and run a comparison with the real life counterpart to put more constructive feedback.
-All flights I've done so far, the handling and systems behavior feel close to ideal situations off the flight manual i.e fresh off factory and ISA based than actual values of day to day use. There are few things to iron out.
-Visuals, no complains.
-Sounds, off DA40 is smart and work quite good as a substitute. Engine start, FADEC test and idle power need some work though.
The new tools to play around with the new sim update might open up the doors to do more with this version of the aircraft

Great addon! Any plans for making this engine option for the analogue Cessna without Garmin? I can help and provide all the necessary data needed if you have such a plan!

Awesome Mod!!!
Maybe you can make it somehow work that the engine dies if alternator and battery are off. IRL the backup battery does not last for long.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the gasoline engine does not require Alternator to work that's what magnetos are for and in case of a diesel engine it doesn't even need magnetos because diesel engines don't have spark plugs.

Just wanted to advise that ESET is flagging the download or download link as having unwanted/malicious content. I'm assuming it a false positive but the author or a flightsim.to moderator may want to investigate

Same, needs to be checked.
