Just Flight - Piper PA-28R Arrow III for FSX & P3D

Following on from their award-winning TB-10 Tobago & TB-20 Trinidad, Tornado GR1, L-1011 Tristar Professional and Canberra PR9 add-ons, this highly detailed simulation of the PA-28R Arrow III has been developed by Just Flight's in-house team following comprehensive, hands-on research with a real-life Arrow III, G-BGKU, based at Conington Airfield.

The PA-28R Arrow III is a four seater, piston-engine aircraft equipped with a retractable tricycle landing gear and constant-speed propeller - an ideal aircraft for touring and instrument training.

The aircraft is flown all around the world and this add-on reflects that global popularity. In addition to our UK research aircraft, G-BGKU, the package features eleven liveries from the USA, Canada, UK, France, Switzerland, Australia and Germany.

Model

• Accurately modelled PA-28R-201 Arrow III, built using real-world aircraft plans


• Numerous animations including passenger door, baggage door, cockpit window, sun visors and oil cover


• Ground equipment including chocks and tie-downs


• 4096 x 4096 textures are used to produce the highest possible texture clarity


• Bump and specular mapping used throughout the aircraft to produce a truly 3D feel

Cockpit

• A truly 3D virtual cockpit right down to accurately modelled seat belts and screw heads - every instrument is constructed fully in 3D with smooth animations


• Cockpit textures feature wear and tear based on reference photos taken in the real aircraft to produce an authentic environment


• Easy-to-use tool for switching between heavy and reduced levels of wear and tear in the virtual cockpit


• Interactive engine start checklist
