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.
This Just Flight Arrow add-on for Microsoft Flight Simulator includes the turbo-powered Arrow III and the later Arrow IV model with its distinctive T-tail, each in five paint schemes and featuring HD textures, realistic flight dynamics and an authentic sound set.
Model
- Accurately modelled PA-28R-201T Turbo Arrow III and PA-28RT-201T Turbo Arrow IV, built using real-world aircraft plans and comprehensive photography of the real aircraft
- Numerous animations including passenger door, baggage door, cockpit storm window, sun visors and oil cover
- Ground equipment including chocks, tie-downs and pushback towbar
- 4096x4096 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 surfaces
- Ground services support (marshaller and fuel truck)
- Full support for MSFS visual icing 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
- Dimmable instrument, radio and dome lighting, with separate control circuits
- Tablet EFB for controlling various aircraft options, and checking aircraft and flight information:
- Fully functional and comprehensive IFR capable avionics fit including:
- Fully compatible with MSFS VR mode
- Yoke-mounted flight timer/clock
- Independently operated left and right (standby) altimeter with mb and inHg barometric scales depending on units of measure setting
- Developed using the latest MSFS standards, including intuitive and easy-to-use controls for rotary knobs, multi-position switches and levers
Aircraft systems
- Engine turbocharger fixed wastegate and overboost simulation (progressive engine failure due to overboost if wastegate fails, with EFB controls for monitoring and resetting engine damage/failure)
- 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 fouling, limited battery life, vapour 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 4.6G
- Many other details, such as a passenger door that automatically closes with airflow and vibrating engine exhausts!
- Full support for MSFS checklists (manual and automatic/co-pilot modes)
Sounds
The Just Flight Turbo Arrow III and IV feature a MSFS-native (Wwise) sound package taking full advantage of the new capabilities. Every little detail has been faithfully recreated based on high fidelity recordings from real life PA-28s.
- Original Lycoming TSIO-360 engine samples
- Detailed physics-based effects on engine and wind noise
- Authentic audio for every switch, button, lever and electrical systems
- Accurately positioned 3D sound sources (best enjoyed in VR!)
- Custom crash and scraping effects
- Authentic retractable gear whistle
- Background panel rattle on low engine RPMs and more!
Liveries (A PSD Paint Kit is included so you can create your own paint schemes)
The Turbo Arrow III is supplied in the following five paint schemes:
- N48427 (USA)
- D-ERMT (Germany)
- G-OBAK (UK)
- HB-PMB (Switzerland)
- VH-LLA (Australia)
The Turbo Arrow IV is supplied in the following five paint schemes:
- D-EAIV (Germany)
- G-BOGM (UK)
- OE-KFT (Austria)
- OK-MAN (Czech Republic)
- N3023K (USA)
Flight dynamics
The Arrow III and IV feature realistic and accurate flight dynamics based on real-world performance and handling data, and input from Arrow pilots.
Differences between the Turbo Arrow III/IV and the Arrow III
- The Turbo Arrow add-on includes two variants of the Arrow: the Turbo Arrow III (conventional tail) and the Turbo Arrow IV (T-tail)
- The Turbo Arrows' engine cowling, which houses the turbocharged TSIO-360, gives the aircraft a more sporty look (especially with the T-tail)
- Blue/grey cockpit colour scheme on the Turbo Arrow III; tan on the Turbo Arrow IV
- The cleaner, less worn cockpits of the Turbo Arrows reflect private ownership (versus the flying club ownership of Arrow III)
- Turbocharged engine sounds and some cockpit sounds (e.g. fuel pump)
- Differences in panel configuration – fuel primer push-button, two-position (high/low) fuel pump switch, engine instruments differ (EGT gauge, temperature and pressure indicators)
- Differences in flight dynamics due to heavier engine and T-tail characteristics
- High altitude performance of turbocharged engine – ideal for longer range flights with higher cruise altitudes
- Turbocharger overboost failure simulation, giving you something else to manage (optional, depending on maintenance option)
