FSX Steam Edition: Piper PA-28R Turbo Arrow III/IV Add-On PC

Fly the accurately modeled Piper PA-28R Turbo Arrow III and IV in this detailed flight simulation add-on for FSX Steam Edition. These four-seater turbocharged piston-engine aircraft feature retractable tricycle landing gear and constant-speed propellers, perfect for touring and instrument training. Pilots handle realistic flight dynamics drawn from real-world data, complete with custom fuel and electrical systems, functional circuit breakers, and failures like spark plug fouling. The 3D virtual cockpit includes wear-marked textures, smooth-animated instruments, and full IFR avionics such as KX 170B radios, Piper Autocontrol IIIB autopilot, and GPS 100. Interactive checklists guide engine starts and every flight phase, while panel states save automatically. Aviation enthusiasts who value precise handling and authentic systems will log hours in these ten paint schemes.

First available in 1977, the Turbo Arrow III was the first turbocharged variant of the PA-28R Arrow, retaining the conventional tail of the Arrow III and a new cowling which housed the six-cylinder turbocharged engine. The Turbo Arrow IV followed in 1979 and featured the distinctive T-tail which was common amongst other Piper aircraft.

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. Just Flight's rendition of the Piper PA-28R Arrow III is an accurate and highly detailed model and it provides a faithful representation of the real world aircraft.
