• Beta Tested by Three Real-World Cherokee 140 Pilots
• Custom Engine Startup Procedure
• It was our goal to make the Cherokee 140 as real as we could within the limits of X-Plane. Therefore, we created a special plug-in controller engine startup procedure that we think adds greatly to the realism of the model. When is the last time you jumped into an older-model airplane on a cold day, and the engine started immediately? Let’s face it, most older airplanes are a bit hard to start, especially when the weather is cold. We’ve modeled the 140 so that when the engine oil temperature is cold, the engine is harder to start. Conversely, if the engine is already hot or warm, it will be much easier to start.
• When you first load the Cherokee 140, the ignition key will be located on top of the glareshield. You must click on the ignition key to place it into the ignition. The engine will not start without the magnetos being ON.
• You must open the throttle by at least ¼” before the engine will start.
• Mixture should be full rich before starting.
• If the engine is quite cold, it may take two tries on the starter to get the engine started.
• Special Pilot’s “Trick” for Extra Cruise Speed
• A special “trick” was passed along to us by one of our beta testers who regularly flies a Cherokee 140. He told us that if you jam a small object under the flaps lever during cruise flight, you can cause the flaps to deploy by about one degree. If you re-trim the airplane after doing so, you can gain 2-4 KTS of extra speed without changing the power setting. We simulated this “trick” in our model, and it works! To try it out, just click on the Pilot Log Book found in the pilot-side pocket.
• Custom Prop Disc
• Using the X-Plane Custom Prop Disc features along with plug-in programming, the Cherokee 140 has a 3D-effect spinning prop disc
• XChecklist-compatible checklists included
• We have included a “clist.txt” file that is compatible with Michal and Bill’s excellent XChecklist plugin available from X-Plane.org at this link
• Custom Recorded Sounds from a real Cherokee 140
• In December, 2015, we recorded many internal and external sounds from the real airplane, and the X-Plane version sounds are made from those original recordings. Original sounds include engine starter, engine start-up, engine shut-down, engine noise at various RPM levels, flaps lever sounds, toggle switch sounds, rocker switch sounds, hand brake sound, and more.
• Pop-Up Control Menu
• Click on the small gear icon at the lower left of the screen to bring up the Control Menu. You can select various camera views, and control various elements such as “Remove Wheel Fairings,” “Open/Close Passenger Door,” “Hide Glass,” “Add/Remove CoPilot,” “Remove Ground Elements,” and un-check “Nose Gear Steers.” See the User Manual included with the 140 for more details on these options.
• Simulated Radio Squelch Noise
• If you press the “Pull Test”  button on the NARCO MK1D radio, you will hear a simulated radio static noise over the normal radio audio.
• Fuses are Operational
• You can fail any of the fuses and/or circuit breakers on the panel to practice emergency procedures.
• Exterior HDR Custom Parameterized Lighting
• The strobe lights are plug-in controlled to create a “staggered” flash sequence. All exterior lights are created using X-Plane’s custom parameterized lighting system with plug-in control. To enjoy the lighting effects to their fullest, HDR Rendering must be ON in your settings. However, the lights will still work with HDR off, they just won’t look as nice.
• Wheel Fairings can be Removed using the Control Menu
•  if you remove the wheel fairings, the drag co-efficient will be increased by approximately 3%
•  Vibration Effects
•  The exhaust pipe, ignition key, ailerons and stabilator are animated to appear to shake/vibrate when the engine is running. As you increase engine RPM, the shaking smooths out.
•  Spinning Wheels “Blur” Effect
•  When the wheels are spinning at faster than 20 KTS, the textures are replaced with a radial-blur effect to add more realism.
• Rain and Ice Texture for Windows
• When X-Plane indicates that there is precipitation on the windshield, or ice on the airframe, the window glass textures will be replaced with rain or ice effect textures.
• Plug-In Enhanced STEC 55x Autopilot
• Some features of the autopilot are plug-in controlled, such as Vertical Speed select for VS mode, and Altitude Pre-select for ALT mode.
• Six Different Liveries included
• Super Hi-resolution textures used – up to 4K x 4K textures
• Extra liveries can be found here
• Fully animated model – if it looks like it should move in real life, it is animated!
