Yet another update for the Just Flight PA-28R Arrow III has been released for the Microsoft Flight Simulator aircraft. Version 0.3.0 includes a variety of fixes and improvements over the original version.
Within the new update, a whole new checklist system has been added meaning that pilots can run through the checklists in both automatic and manual modes. This means you will be able to get the aircraft in the air (and back on the ground) knowing you’ve followed the correct flows. Furthermore, there has been a range of fixes including to the airspeed indicator, the yoke timer and also various animations. Finally, there have been fixes to the autopilot meaning that the mode engagement logic is now fixed along with the VOR disengagement issue being resolved. The full list of changes can be found down below.
Whilst our first look is based on an older version of the aircraft, it will still give you some good insight into the aircraft’s features within the simulator. Check it out below.
The Piper Arrow was developed from the original Piper Cherokee, first built in 1960 from the US based aircraft manufacturer. The four-seat, fixed landing gear Arrow III, first took flight in 1994 equipped with the Lycoming O-320-D3G engine, producing 180 horsepower.
The Just Flight PA-28R Arrow III for Microsoft Flight Simulator is available to buy now from the Just Flight store for £29.99 via the Just Flight website.
