Just Flight, in partnership with Thranda Design, are proud to present the PA-28-181 Archer III for X-Plane 11.

The PA-28-181 Archer III is a four-seater, piston-engine aircraft equipped with a fixed tricycle landing gear, 180hp four-cylinder engine and fixed-pitch propeller. Certified in the mid-1990s, the Archer III is one of the most recent PA28 variants to be built, reflected in its streamlined cowling and cockpit overhead panel controls. Capable of cruising at 118 knots and with a range of nearly 500 miles, it is an ideal aircraft for touring and flight training.

The PA-28-181 Archer III for X-Plane 11 features PBR materials with real-time environment reflections for superb quality and realism, HD textures for the highest possible texture clarity and numerous animations including a multi-animation passenger door that, when open, responds to G-forces and air resistance.

Model

Accurately modeled PA-28-181 Archer III, built using real-world aircraft plans and comprehensive photography of the real aircraft
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
HD 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
Detailed normal mapping for down-to-the-rivet precision of aircraft features

Cockpit

A truly 3D virtual cockpit right down to accurately modeled 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
Interactive engine start checklist that responds to user inputs and sim variables
Interactive checklists for every stage of flight
Aircraft configuration system that will allow you to choose between 'cold & dark' or 'ready for take-off' (if aircraft is stationary on the ground)
Fully functional and comprehensive IFR capable avionics fit including:

KMA 24 audio selector
Fully featured X-Plane-native GNS530 (supports procedures out of the box, and supports Navigraph and Aerosoft custom nav databases)
GNC 255 COM/NAV 2 radio
KN 62 DME unit which can display information from NAV 1 or NAV 2
S-TEC autopilot with lateral hold modes (HDG, NAV, APR, REV) and vertical modes (ALT, VS)
TT31 transponder
KR 87 ADF
Traffic-Watch ATD-300 traffic awareness unit
Strikefinder stormscope
HSI and ADF gauges
Support for RealityXP GTN750 (sold separately, Windows only)

Interactive logbook panel for logging your flight details (X-Plane native)
Flight computer panel with useful information such as fuel burn, endurance, speed and wind speed/direction
GoodWay compatible
Ability to change barometric units from InHg to MB in altimeter adjustment
Option to activate flashlight from within pop-up window, to aid in those pitch-black cold and dark starts at night
Pop-up autopilot window
Option to remove window and instrument reflection effects
Animated toe brakes
Functional throttle quadrant tensioning system
Radio knob animations routed through plugin 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, 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 tire rotation animation (blurry when rotating fast), precise shock absorber animation and wheel chocks and tie-downs
Functioning carburetor and primer controls
Dedicated interactive engine pop-up window 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 vapor lock condition
Simulated vapor 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)
Functional electric trim control on yoke
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

Liveries

The Archer III is supplied with ten liveries from the UK, USA, Canada, France, Australia and Germany:
G-CIFY (UK); G-CCHL (UK); N6092U (USA); D-EFVC (Germany); PH-AED (Netherlands); C-GUXL (Canada); HB-PPN (Switzerland); EC-JQO (Spain); VH-PPR (Australia); F-GNCH (France)

Other features

Realistic and accurate flight dynamics based on real-world performance and handling data, and input from PA-28 pilots
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
PSD Paint Kit included so you can create your own paint schemes
Dedicated pop-up window for sound mixing, allowing for individual adjustment of the volume of exterior sounds, in-cockpit sounds and various effects
Custom weight and balance manager window
