Following on from their award-winning TB-10 Tobago & TB-20 Trinidad, Hawk T1/A Advanced Trainer and PA-28R Arrow III, this highly detailed simulation of the PA-28-161 Warrior II for P3D has been developed by Just Flight's in-house team 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 Warrior II is flown all around the world and our add-on reflects that global popularity. In addition to our UK research aircraft, G-BOZI, this package features liveries from the USA, Canada, UK, France, Australia and Germany.

REVIEWS
"Just Flight's rendition of the PA-28-161 Warrior II is highly detailed and accurate, the visual quality is outstanding, and it provides a faithful representation of the real world aircraft. The modelling of the aircraft systems and additional features, such as the interactive check-lists, are excellent and provide an additional level of realism... The aircraft model displays an accurate rendition of the flight characteristics... With the texture resolution set at 2048 x 2048, the texture quality was excellent... On the cockpit detail particularly, Just flight have lifted the bar since the move back to "in house" development... The lighting and lighting effects on the PA-28-161 Warrior II are good... The engine sounds are a very good representation, with a deep throaty burbling from idle through the full throttle range... The quality and attention to detail is outstanding and Just Flight has done an excellent job with the accuracy of the model... The value for money for the Just Flight PA-28-161 Warrior II is considered excellent." Mutley's Hangar (Gold Award, 9.7/10)
