Just Flight, in partnership with Thranda Design, are proud to present the PA-28R Turbo Arrow III and Arrow IV for X-Plane 12.

Following on from their critically acclaimed Arrow III for X-Plane 12, this highly detailed simulation of the PA-28R Turbo Arrow III and Arrow IV 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 Turbo Arrow III and Arrow IV are four seater, turbocharged piston-engine aircraft equipped with a retractable tricycle landing gear and constant-speed propeller – ideal for touring and instrument training.

First available in 1977, the Turbo Arrow III was the first turbocharged variant of the PA-28R Arrow, retaining the conventional tail of the Arrow III and a new cowling which housed the six-cylinder turbocharged engine. The Turbo Arrow IV followed in 1979 and featured the distinctive T-tail which was common amongst other Piper aircraft.

The aircraft are flown all around the world and this add-on reflects that global popularity. The product features six liveries from the USA, UK, Germany, Belgium, Austria and Australia.

The PA-28R Turbo Arrow III and Arrow IV for X-Plane 12 feature PBR materials with real-time environment reflections for superb quality and realism, 8k textures for the highest possible texture clarity, a brand-new tablet EFB featuring a plethora of features such as aircraft configuration, states, interactive checklists and customisation options, and numerous animations including 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!


MODEL

  • Accurately modelled PA-28R-201T Turbo Arrow III and PA-28RT-201T Turbo Arrow IV, built using real-world aircraft plans
  • Numerous animations including multi-animation passenger door that, when open, responds to G-forces and air resistance, baggage door, cockpit window and sun visors
  • Ground equipment including chocks and tie-downs
  • 8k interior and exterior textures are used to produce the highest possible texture clarity
  • PBR (Physically Based Rendering) materials with real-time environment reflections for superb quality and realism, completely reworked and upgraded for X-Plane 12
  • Detailed normal mapping for down-to-the-rivet precision of aircraft features.
  • EFB livery switcher for switching between the Turbo Arrow III and IV variants in real-time without needing to use the aircraft menu
  • X-Plane 12 native rain effects

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
  • Tablet EFB with a selection of apps full of 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 pop them 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.
     - Thranda 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!
  • Fully functional and comprehensive IFR-capable avionics fit including:
     - KMA 20 audio selector unit
     - Fully featured X-Plane-native GNS530 (supports procedures out of the box,  and supports Navigraph and Aerosoft custom nav databases)
     - KX 175B COM 2 / NAV 2 radio
     - KN 62 DME unit which can display information from NAV 1 or NAV 2
     - Autocontrol IIIB autopilot unit with navigation, heading and roll hold (hidden autopilot altitude hold system included for convenience)
     - KT 76A transponder unit
     - KR 85 ADF unit
     - Support for RealityXP GTN750 (sold separately, Windows only)
  • Interactive logbook panel for logging your flight details (X-Plane native)
  • Yoke-mounted flight timer/clock
  • Independently operated left and right (standby) altimeter
  • GoodWay compatible
  • Ability to change barometric units from InHG to MB in altimeter adjustment
  • Pop-up autopilot window
  • Animated toe brakes
  • Functional throttle quadrant tensioning system
  • Radio knob animations routed through plug-in logic, for optimum movement fidelity and sound synchronisation

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. 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 system with intricate retraction animation, slow/fast tyre rotation animation (blurry when rotating fast), precise shock absorber animation with multiple linkages animated accurately, and wheel chocks and tie-downs
  • Functioning alternate air and static source controls
  • Fully implemented back-up landing gear system
  • Dedicated interactive engine EFB page for 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 EFB warnings 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)
  • Functional ELT which is automatically triggered above 4.6 G
  • 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
