It's currently got a "3" rating. It matches some of the PoH numbers
(cruise speed, rate of climb) for an aircraft fitted with a cruise prop
rather than a climb prop. IIRC the stall is too low and the slide-slip
behaviour is incorrect.

Certainly the FDM would benefit from some TLC, but it requires
someone with a bit of JSBSim knowledge, or the time to learn,
and ideally someone with some time in the 172 who can compare
it to the real thing. The two people don't necessarily have to be the
same person, though they'd probably have to work quite closely
together.
