PA-28R TURBO ARROW III/IV - MSFS
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.
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 a distinctive T-tail.
The aircraft is flown all around the world and this add-on reflects that global popularity, featuring ten liveries from the USA, UK, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Australia and the Czech Republic.
The PA-28R Turbo Arrow III and IV for Microsoft Flight Simulator features a native model and 4096 x 4096 PBR materials for the highest possible texture detail and clarity.
Models
Accurately modelled PA-28R-201T Turbo Arrow III and PA-28RT-201T Turbo Arrow IV, built using real-world aircraft plans and comprehensive photography of the real aircraft
Numerous animations including passenger door, baggage door, cockpit storm window, sun visors and oil cover
Ground equipment including chocks, tie-downs and pushback towbar
4096x4096 textures are used to produce the highest possible texture clarity
PBR (Physically Based Rendering) materials with real-time environment reflections for superb quality and realism
Detailed normal mapping for down-to-the-rivet precision of aircraft surfaces
Ground services support (marshaller and fuel truck)
Full support for MSFS visual icing effects
Cockpit
A truly 3D virtual cockpit right down to accurately modelled seat belts and screw heads - every instrument is constructed fully in 3D with smooth animations
Cockpit textures feature wear and tear based on reference photos taken in the real aircraft to produce an authentic environment
Dimmable instrument, radio and dome lighting, with separate control circuits
Tablet EFB for controlling various aircraft options, and checking aircraft and flight information:
- 'Cold & Dark', 'Ready for Take-off' and Ready for Start\' aircraft states
- Persistent aircraft states, allowing you to always return to your cockpit in the same state that you last left it
- Automatic fuel tank switching for use on those long distance cross-country flights
- GPS unit selection - GPS 100, GNS 430/GNS 530 and GTN 750 (requires freeware PMS-50 GTN 750)

- KMA 20 audio selector unit
- KX 170B COM 1 / NAV 1 radio
- KX 175B COM 2 / NAV 2 radio
- KN 62 DME unit which can display information from NAV 1, NAV 2 or its own inbuilt receiver (NAV 3)
- Piper Autocontrol IIIB autopilot unit with navigation, heading and roll hold (altitude hold clickspot included)
- KT 76A transponder unit
- KR 85 ADF unit with ADF/ANT/BFO modes and support for fractional frequencies, e.g. 383.3
- GPS 100, GNS 430/GNS 530 and GTN 750 (requires freeware PMS-50 GTN 750)
- HSI/OBS support RNAV approach indications
Fully compatible with MSFS VR mode
Yoke-mounted flight timer/clock
Independently operated left and right (standby) altimeter with mb and inHg barometric scales depending on units of measure setting
Developed using the latest MSFS standards, including intuitive and easy-to-use controls for rotary knobs, multi-position switches and levers
Aircraft systems
Engine turbocharger fixed wastegate and overboost simulation (progressive engine failure due to overboost if wastegate fails, with EFB controls for monitoring and resetting engine damage/failure)
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 and automatic release at low airspeeds
Functioning alternate air and static source controls
Failures including spark plug fouling, limited battery life, vapour lock and more
Lighting system includes separate lighting control for instruments (via rheostat) and realistic implementation of navigation light / radio light rheostat

Differences between the Just Flight Turbo Arrow III/IV and Arrow III
The Turbo Arrow add-on includes two variants of the Arrow: the Turbo Arrow III (conventional tail) and the Turbo Arrow IV (T-tail)
The Turbo Arrows\' engine cowling, which houses the turbocharged TSIO-360, gives the aircraft a more sporty look (especially with the T-tail)
Blue/grey cockpit colour scheme on the Turbo Arrow III tan on the Turbo Arrow IV
The cleaner, less worn cockpits of the Turbo Arrows reflect private ownership (versus the flying club ownership of Arrow III)
Turbocharged engine sounds and some cockpit sounds (e.g. fuel pump)
Differences in panel configuration - fuel primer push-button, two-position (high/low) fuel pump switch, engine instruments differ (EGT gauge, temperature and pressure indicators)
Differences in flight dynamics due to heavier engine and T-tail characteristics
High altitude performance of turbocharged engine - ideal for longer range flights with higher cruise altitudes
Turbocharger overboost failure simulation, giving you something else to manage (optional, depending on maintenance option)
