Just Flight, in partnership with Thranda Design, are proud to present the PA-28-161 Warrior II for X-Plane 12.
This highly detailed simulation of the Warrior II has been developed by Just Flight's in-house team and Thranda Design following comprehensive, hands-on research with a real-life Warrior II, G-BOZI, based at Conington Airfield.
The PA-28-161 Warrior II is a four-seater, piston-engine aircraft equipped with a fixed tricycle landing gear, 160hp four-cylinder engine and fixed-pitch propeller – an ideal aircraft for touring and flight training.
The Warrior II is flown all around the world and our add-on reflects that global popularity. The package features liveries from the USA, United Kingdom, Switzerland, Spain and Australia. Also featured is Thranda’s initiative Dynamic Livery System, allowing you to create your own liveries within X-Plane 12, using the EFB app.
The PA-28-161 Warrior II for X-Plane 12 features new 8K textures inside and out, with a new refurbished interior, and completely reworked exterior textures featuring PBR materials. Also included is a brand-new tablet EFB featuring a plethora of features such as aircraft configuration, customisation options, states and interactive checklists. Numerous animations include a multi-animation passenger door that, when open, responds to G-forces and air resistance.
See the Detailed Description below for all the aircraft details!

Radio knob animations routed through plug-in logic, for optimum movement fidelity and sound synchronisation
Tablet EFB
The EFB includes a selection of apps providing useful tools and customisation options:
-
Aircraft Options - open/close the aircraft’s doors, enable/disable glass reflection, enable/disable ground equipment and more!
-
Weight & Balance - adjust the aircraft’s weight and balance using the built-in configuration app and centre of gravity table.
-
Instrument Options - choose to have the cockpit avionics visible in the 3D cockpit or have them pop out on 2D panels.
-
Static Liveries - change aircraft liveries without exiting to the main menu.
-
Dynamic Liveries - customise the aircraft’s paint scheme without leaving the aircraft. Features Modern and a Classic liveries whose colours can be fully customised in the aircraft, without the need for any complicated paint kits.
-
Engine Configuration - view the condition of the engines and enable enhanced simulation options such as spark plug fouling and vapour lock.
-
DynaFeel - adjust the force required to move each of the control surfaces.
-
Checklists - interactable checklists for every stage of flight.
-
AviTab support
-
And much more!
Aircraft systems
-
Custom-coded fuel system, including the option of automatic fuel tank switching for use on those long-distance cross-country flights (this option is remembered for future flights)
-
Custom-coded electrical system with functional circuit breakers, avionics power circuit and emergency bus controls. Circuit breaker logic is linked to X-Plane's internal failure logic, so if the plane is set to fail a certain electrical component after a certain number of hours, the circuit breaker for that element will pop out.
-
Realistic landing gear with slow/fast tyre rotation animation (blurry when rotating fast), precise shock absorber animation and wheel chocks and tie-downs
-
Functioning carburettor and primer controls
-
Dedicated interactive EFB page displaying values such as fuel tank weights and imbalance, fuel pressure, oil pressure, oil temperature, battery charge (with quick charge option) and information about spark plug fouling and vapour lock condition
-
Simulated vapour lock condition, with warning pop-up and suggested actions
-
Simulated spark plug fouling condition, with indication of percentage of fouling
-
Lighting system includes separate lighting control for gauges (via rheostat) and realistic implementation of navigation light / radio light rheostat
-
Functional electric trim control on yoke (requires electric trim button to be pushed)
-
Simulated fan and vent system with realistic blower sounds (linked to circuit breaker logic and electrical system for realism)
-
Custom external light logic with custom strobe light pattern and custom light halos for added realism
