Just Flight has released a major update for its Piper PA-28 series, including the PA-28R Arrow III, PA-28R Turbo Arrow III/IV, and PA-28-161 Warrior II. The update introduces a wide range of new features and bug fixes for both MSFS2020 and MSFS2024 pilots alike.
Features and Bug Fixes
The update introduces compatibility with MSFS2024 and brings a number of new features to the existing Piper PA-28 series. According to Just Flight, the aircraft’s graphics, flight dynamics, and Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) interface have all been significantly improved.
Key features highlighted in Just Flight’s changelog include:
Changes To The EFB Interface
The updated EFB interface has introduced several new capabilities, including support for Navigraph Charts. The UI now features new popups and seamless integration between JavaScript/HTML and WebAssembly EFB pages for a smoother user experience.
Adjustments To The Flight Model
Just Flight has harnessed the capabilities of MSFS 2024 to include a more accurate flight model within the simulator. The handling of the aircraft at lower speeds has been improved, improving its stability during the approach and landing phases. The update also includes improved stall characteristics. MSFS ground friction is now supported, improving the handling of the aircraft on the ground and making stopping on the runway considerably easier.
Visual Improvements
Visual improvements include enhanced wear-and-tear textures and better cockpit detail, made possible through MSFS2024’s improved rendering engine. The update also adds improved external camera views, added pilot avatars, and various other visual enhancements. The Piper PA-28 series is also equipped with Level Of Detail (LOD) optimisations to improve the aircraft’s performance on certain systems.
Bug Fixes
The update tackles several existing issues within the aircraft, such as the ADF Radio incorrectly detecting active signals on frequencies, missing elements in texture sets, and the incorrect default state of the airspeed indicator.
