What are you using for controllers? I've got the CH Products Yoke and
rudder and this setup with FS9 is the most unrealistic thing I've ever
seen for crosswind practice.

If you're using the same, what are your settings? I've looked for months
to find something usable and finally gave up on anything approaching
reality, and I'd like to. In other words, what did you do to make the 172
fly like a 172?

I don't normally fly the default planes. The best that I've found for
spins and slips is the 172 that is available for download and
www.realairsimulations.com. The download is free.

That is a pretty good 172, thanks. Much less twitchy than the default one.
