July 22, 200718 yr Friends,In an effort to fill my hanger with the Piper planes I have either flown or in which I have given flight instruction, please share with me where I can find the best of the following ... either freeware or payware:Cherokee/Warrior(Arrow/Lance retractable Cherokee types) ...Comanche ...Super Cub (not thinking of the J-3 here) ...Tri-Pacer ...Apache ...Navajo ...Aztec ...Twin Comanche ...Thank you ahead of time for any links you can help me with.Best regards,Steve
July 22, 200718 yr FSD has a great Navajo (and also a Saratoga)http://www.fsd-international.com/Australian Simulation has a Warrior II and III packagehttp://www.aussim.com.au/piper/Carenado has a great Cherokeehttp://www.carenado.com/ecommerce/index.php3There's a nice freeware Tri-Pacer in the libraries for FS9 which should work in FSX.Jim
July 22, 200718 yr You should definitely have a look at Hauke Keitel's freeware Piper Arrow III. It's available on the FlightSim library as pa28r201.zip. While the VC is very good for a freeware aircraft, the packaged 2D view isn't so great. There are however a few good replacements that have since been made available on the FlightSim site as well (see fppa28bl.zip or fppa28ei.zip). I think it is one of the best freeware GA aircraft that has been made for FSX at present.Hope you like it.David

July 23, 200718 yr Thank you very much...I never flew the Cheyenne, but it IS certainly a great ship. Just as a side... has anyone ever seen freeware or payware on the little Piper trainer, Tomahawk?Take care, Steve

July 23, 200718 yr Hi Steve,Bill Lyon's outstanding Tri-Pacers work well in FSX, although some of the external textures do not display properly. I'm sure there is a fix, but have not had time to delve into it.Search for cc13p22f.zip in the avsim library.John
July 24, 200718 yr Thanks so much, guys. I'm surprised anyone took time with the Tomahawk. Just found out my wife and I are rushing off to Oshkosh for the fly-in. I will try these out when I get back.Take care all, and God bless!Steve
