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 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. The Warrior also features a completely new FMOD sound pack from Sim Acoustics which uses high fidelity recordings from the real aircraft.

To take advantage of improvements to the X-Plane 12 engine, the flight model has been rebuilt with scratch-built airfoils to match real-world data and refined fuselage and control surface geometry, meaning the aircraft will perform even closer to its real-world counterpart.

AIRCRAFT FEATURES

Model

• Accurately modelled PA-28-161 Warrior II, 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, sun visors, oil cover and optional wheel fairings
• Ground equipment including chocks and tie-downs
• 8K 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 for X-Plane 12
• Detailed normal mapping for down-to-the-rivet precision of aircraft features
• 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
• Brand-new blue cockpit fabric based on a recently refurbished aircraft
• Tablet EFB with a selection of apps (see below)
• 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
   - Century 21 autopilot with lateral hold modes (HDG, NAV, APR, REV) – hidden autopilot altitude hold system included for convenience
   - KT 76A transponder unit
   - KR 85 ADF unit
   - Support for RealityXP GTN750 (sold separately, Windows only)
• Yoke-mounted flight timer/clock
• 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

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)
• Custom external light logic with custom strobe light pattern and custom light halos for added realism

Liveries

The Warrior II is supplied in the following six paint schemes:

• EC-IOS (Spain)
• G-BNOH (UK)
• G-BUIF (UK)
• HN-PNL (Switzerland)
• N3572M (USA)
• VH-PZN (Australia)

OTHER FEATURES

• Realistic and accurate flight dynamics based on real-world performance and handling data, and input from Warrior pilots, completely reworked for X-Plane 12
• Brand-new authentic sound set, generated using X-Plane's state-of-the-art FMOD sound system
• Custom sounds for switches, doors, warnings and more, featuring accurate location placement of sounds in the stereo spectrum, 3D audio effects, atmospheric effects, adaptive Doppler, exterior sounds spill in when window or door(s) are opened, different sound characteristics depending on viewing angle etc.
• Comprehensive manual with panel guide and performance data
• Option to launch X-Plane's weight and balance manager window from the custom EFB
