The Carenado Piper PA28 181 Archer II for X-Plane boasts many great features for simulation. Highlights of the Carenado Piper include all moving parts, high quality audio, realistic cockpit effects, and so much more to make flying this plane as real as it gets.

The pilot of this plane can also customize the paint schemes and choose from two different models to suit his or her interests. Both the interior and exterior of the plane have a great attention to detail- in the daylight, reflections from lights and glass in the cockpit make you really feel like you are in the hot seat. At night, taxi, head, and taillights all mimic the real Piper PA28 181 Archer II in enabling the pilot and plane to easily find their way to the given destination.

Shadows on the plane were created with high detail and creativity in mind during sunrise, sunset, and throughout the rest of the day to give the pilot a more realistic feel while flying. Not only do the graphics look great, but the lighting on the interior and exterior of the plane give the pilot an extra sense of time until sunrise/sunset before he or she needs to turn on or off airplane beacons.

Not only do you get all of these great features in one package, the plane comes complete with normal and emergency procedures in a printable PDF document, allowing you to simulate these procedures to be prepared for a real emergency in reality. The dash of this plane is truly flawless- featuring everything found in a real Piper.

Features include working altimeter, clock, fuel gauge, radio, pitch, yaw, landing gear, and so much more. Doors, sun visor, and copilot seat also fully work in game simulation.

Once again, on the exterior of the plane, all ailerons, elevators, rudders, flaps, and rolling wheels are fully animated to make the flight experience even better and more realistic.
