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.

Model

• PA-28R-201 Arrow III, built using real-world aircraft plans and comprehensive photography of the real aircraft
• Numerous animations including passenger and baggage door, storm window, sun visors and oil cover
• Ground equipment including chocks, tie-downs and pushback towbar
• 4096x4096 textures for the highest possible texture clarity
• PBR materials with real-time environment reflections for superb quality and realism
• Detailed normal mapping for down-to-the-rivet precision of aircraft surfaces
• MSFS visual icing effects and ground services

Cockpit

• A truly 3D virtual cockpit right down to accurately modelled seat belts and screw heads - every instrument is constructed fully in 3D
• Cockpit textures feature wear and tear based on the real aircraft to produce an authentic environment, with optional ‘clean’ textures for a less worn look
• Dimmable instrument, radio and dome lighting, with separate control circuits
• Tablet EFB for controlling various aircraft options, and checking aircraft and flight information:
  • 'Cold & Dark', 'Ready for Take-off' and ‘Ready for Start’ aircraft states
  • Persistent aircraft states, allowing you to return to your cockpit in the same state that you last left it
  • Automatic switching of the fuel tanks for use on long distance cross-country flights
  • GPS unit selection
  • Direction Indicator (DI) or Horizontal Situation Indicator (HSI) instrument options
  • Aircraft failures
  • Door controls
  • Flight computer with useful information such as fuel burn, endurance, speed and wind speed/direction
• Fully-functional IFR capable avionics fit including:
  • KMA 20 audio selector unit
  • KX 170B COM 1 / NAV 1 radio
  • KX 175B COM 2 / NAV 2 radio
  • KN 62 DME unit which can display information from NAV 1, NAV 2 or its own inbuilt receiver (NAV 3)
  • Piper Autocontrol IIIB autopilot unit with navigation, heading and roll hold (altitude hold clickspot included)
  • KT 76A transponder unit
  • KR 85 ADF unit with ADF/ANT/BFO modes and support for fractional frequencies, e.g. 383.3
  • GPS 100, GNS 430/530, GTN 750 (PMS-50 or TDS GTN required, PC only)
  • HSI/OBS support RNAV approach indications

Aircraft systems

• Custom-coded fuel system including the option to have automatic switching of the fuel tanks for use on those long distance cross-country flights
• Custom-coded electrical system with functional circuit breakers
• Realistic landing gear system with emergency and automatic release at low airspeeds
• Functioning alternate air and static source controls
• Failures including spark plug fowling, limited battery life, vapor lock and more
• Lighting system includes separate lighting control for instruments (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
• Many other details, such as a passenger door that automatically closes with airflow and vibrating engine exhausts!
• Full MSFS checklists (manual and automatic/co-pilot modes)

Other

• Realistic and accurate flight dynamics based on real world performance and handling data, and input from Arrow pilots
• Authentic IO-360 sound-set developed using the powerful new Wwise sound system, with custom sounds for all switches, doors, gear warnings and more, and even panel rattles!
• Comprehensive manual with panel guide and performance data
• PSD Paint Kit
