I like immersion too but i don't like to be forced to like such a style. An option to have on or the other would be fair.

I do understand. It's a matter of taste. Fortunately, I like it.

Isn't there a GNS530 mod floating around?  If they use the default GNS530, I would think we could replace it with the mod.

There is indeed and it is excellent.  Just Flight did confirm on Facebook that there will be a panel version that uses the default GNS530 so we should be able to make use of the mod with it.

Why do they always make the panel and windows look like the plane is 40 years old and has had 12 preowners?

This is actually how I like them, maybe I’m just self depreciating but I feel like I’m unworthy of sitting in a brand new shiny one 🙂

Strange...the club i'm in takes care of its planes and makes sure they shine like new for everyone who charters them.

You gotta elaborate on that! LOL They wax them once a month ?

No but everyone in the Club takes care of them and they get the interior done every few years. It's just the planes do not look as shabby as the Arrow above does. Whats so "LOL" about it?

Wow! They change upholstery, install new windshield ane etc every few years? What club is that? 

How well modelled are airplane systems on the XPlane p3d version? I don't know much about Just Flight quality.

I'd rather enjoy the smell and feel of a new or refurbished plane... too bad.

Because most PA28s are 40 years old and have had 12 previous owners 🤣

I don’t think he’s being confrontational, it’s just unusual. My club has a 1972 Cherokee 180 and a 1967 C150. Both are in immaculate mechanical condition, have ADSB, the Cherokee has a GTN750 and two G5’s. Both have brand new engines. The interior and paint on both are original, and I couldn’t care less. They’re well cared for and in good condition. What I care about is what makes the fan turn, and on that front we’re in great shape.

I was just asking what is so "LOL" about a club that likes to have its plane in a good optical shape?

I think he's calling BS. And if you understand the expense of redoing an interior, you may understand why. Not saying it isn't possible...just rare. I'd love to be in a club like that.

They did a good job modeling most of the systems.

XP Version:

Aircraft systems
 

• Custom-coded fuel system, including the option of automatic fuel tank switching for use on those long distance cross-country flights (this option is remembered for future flights)
• Custom-coded electrical system with functional circuit breakers. Circuit breaker logic is linked to X-Plane's internal failure logic, so if the plane is set to fail a certain electrical component after a certain number of hours, the circuit breaker for that element will pop out.
• Realistic landing gear system with intricate retraction animation, slow/fast tyre rotation animation (blurry when rotating fast), precise shock absorber animation with multiple linkages animated accurately, and wheel chocks and tie-downs
• Functioning alternate air and static source controls
• Fully implemented back-up landing gear system
• Dedicated interactive engine pop-up window displaying values such as fuel tank weights and imbalance, fuel pressure, oil pressure, oil temperature, battery charge (with quick charge option), and information about spark plug fouling and vapour lock condition
• Simulated vapour lock condition, with warning pop-up and suggested actions
• Simulated spark plug fouling condition, with indication of percentage of fouling
• Lighting system includes separate lighting control for gauges (via rheostat) and realistic implementation of navigation light / radio light rheostat
• Functional electric trim control on yoke (requires electric trim button to be pushed)
• Functional ELT which is automatically triggered above 4.6 G
• Simulated fan and vent system with realistic blower sounds (linked to circuit breaker logic and electrical system for realism)
• Custom external light logic with custom strobe light pattern and custom light halos for added realism

P3D

AIRCRAFT SYSTEMS
 

• Custom-coded fuel system including the option to have automatic switching of the fuel tanks for use on those long distance cross-country flights
• Custom-coded electrical system with functional circuit breakers
• Realistic landing gear system with emergency release
• Functioning alternate air and static source controls
• Failures including spark plug fouling, limited battery life, vapour lock and more
