and its pitch heavy. It trims really..really well.

as a beta tester and current on the PA28, this was an area me and many others on the beta squad talked about and gave input to JF, and they were very receptive of the feedback as well.

Well like I've already said, how on earth did they miss this blatantly obvious bug?

It's funny that all of the real airline pilots YT promoters have missed that in their previews.

Weren't we supposed to get a discount if we owned the P3D version?

Yup. If you look on your previous product at JF on your account, there's a code for the discount. You also get a code if you had the FSW version. Copy the code and paste it in the field for a discount at checkout. You may also have some loyalty points you can apply too.

Carenado and JF exteriors side by side. Both have their plusses:

Yeah as said, many third parties, for some reason, use legacy techniques when building their MSFS models, giving blurry textures.

Only Aerosoft has done it correctly so far (using decals), and of course the default Asobo aircrafts.

Might have to contact [email protected] with proof of purchase. I had the FSW version bought on Steam and had to. They sent me a code.

I think the JF one looks a bit more 'solid' with the pressed metal shapes and antenna details which include a bit of dirt to highlight the shading.

I opened a ticket with JF as I do not see any codes except for the order number on my previous purchase.

Sorry but it's a Meh! for me Bob.

I can't do those textures - they're straight out of FSX when I bought the JF Warrior. Just swapped up a few pixels.

JF; as my old teachers used to say; "Can do better"

Or can they?

COME ON A2A for goodness sake. Hurry Up. Actually, no, cancel that; take your time Scott!!!

 

I have it. I'll put a thought or two here and maybe expand later on after a few flights.

Firstly, I have somewhere around 200hr in PA28 aircraft, fwiw.

I think this is a very good representation and, off hand, I would rate it a 5/5.

The prop sync issue (or whatever you want to call it) is not a bug. This is a very good recreation of what you see when flying these bricks. Yes. Very distracting. Accurate? Very much so.

I flew from KADS to Grayson Co. TX, (just like the old days.) with live weather. Lucky for me, Grayson Co was reporting winds 170 @40k. Fun. I liked everything about the aircraft and thought it was very good. Handling seemed just right. Engine power and sounds seemed just right. The autopilot is a joke; just like the real one.

It's a brick. Fat wings. Not too concerned with reducing drag (check out the fuel caps). The PA28 is a good Piper aircraft designed to not be too slippery and dangerous. Not like those nasty Beechcraft aircraft. Easy to fly and generally the next step up after trainer aircraft.

Got it for £20 after discount and loyalty points, worth a punt.  I did have the FSX/P3D and XPlane versions which served me well.

I just found in my P3D hangar, the JF Turbo III & IV.

I wonder how they fit into the MSFS Arrow III discount schedule, if at all?

Does the GNS530 mod work with it?

I'm up in the air with it now - seems ok

Noticed all the writing on the main panel is blurry as hell though....is this normal?
