Following on from their award-winning TB-10 Tobago & TB-20 Trinidad, Tornado GR1, L-1011 Tristar Professional and Canberra PR9 add-ons, this highly detailed simulation of the PA-28R Arrow III has been developed by Just Flight's in-house team following comprehensive, hands-on research with a real-life Arrow III, G-BGKU, based at Conington Airfield.
The PA-28R Arrow III is a four seater, piston-engine aircraft equipped with a retractable tricycle landing gear and constant-speed propeller – an ideal aircraft for touring and instrument training.
The aircraft is flown all around the world and this add-on reflects that global popularity. In addition to our UK research aircraft, G-BGKU, the package features eleven liveries from the USA, Canada, UK, France, Switzerland, Australia and Germany.
MODEL
- Accurately modelled PA-28R-201 Arrow III, built using real-world aircraft plans
- Numerous animations including passenger door, baggage door, cockpit window, sun visors and oil cover
- Ground equipment including chocks and tie-downs
- 4096 x 4096 textures are used to produce the highest possible texture clarity
- Bump and specular mapping used throughout the aircraft to produce a truly 3D feel
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
- Easy-to-use tool for switching between heavy and reduced levels of wear and tear in the virtual cockpit
- Interactive engine start checklist

REVIEWS
"Just Flight's rendition of the Piper PA-28R Arrow III is highly detailed and accurate, the visual quality is excellent, and it provides a faithful representation of the real world aircraft... An add-on bursting with quality and extra features and I would judge this product to be very good value for money... There are so many positives with this aircraft. In my opinion, it's their best 'own grown' GA aircraft to date... All elements of the cockpit are clear and easy to read... The external lighting of the aircraft is very good... The engine sounds give a good very representation of the Lycoming IO-360 four cylinder engine... The performance of Just Flight's Piper PA-28R Arrow III was excellent in flight... No discernible frame rate impact... Superb quality textures and attention to detail" Mutley's Hangar (Outstanding Award, 9.9/10)
"Visually, both externally and internally, the model is as good as it gets... This is a superb add-on and I recommend it – particularly, if you are an avid GA enthusiast or if you need a well-explained, well-documented, and well-executed GA plane to add to your hangar... A visually stunning, highly functional and well tuned (for performance) model... I am impressed with the level of detail, both from modeling, and from systems’ functions... As a decade-old sim veteran I attest that the aircraft behaves both as I would have expected it to, and that it is a pleasure to handle." AVSIM.com (Gold Star award)
"Just Flight have done an amazing job with this aircraft. Making one of the highest detail GA aircraft out there on the market. Everything is there from the high quality textures inside and out, the beautiful sounds from Turbine Studio & all the other model aircraft systems and features. Everything runs smooth and did not find any bugs. I would recommend any budding GA fan or someone looking for very high end detailed aircraft for low altitude flying. Just Flight PA-28R Arrow III is worth a look." FSelite.net (9/10)
