CRUZ PiperSport PS-28 for X-Plane

Have you ever used the Piper brand of aircraft before? Then you’ll probably notice just how different the PiperSport PS-28 looks to, well, any of their aircraft so far! This is for one good reason; the PiperSport PS-28 was licensed to Piper in 2010 after originally being the CZAW SportCruiser.

Originally released in 2006 under the Czech Aircraft Works brand, Piper liked it so much they took it on – and now, for any fans of this dainty little aircraft, you can now take it for a whirl in incredible detail. Every last little feature has been touched on to make sure that the aircraft looks the very best that it can, and the difference in this to any other Piper aircraft can make for a neat little change of direction for any big Piper fans out there.

The story of the PiperSport is a rather curious one; if you’ve never even heard of it before, there’s a good reason for that. The re-licensing to Piper only lasted ten months as too many differences between the companies came to an end – in the end, only 45 of the aircraft were even sold! So, this is a bit of a hipster choice.

If you’d like to take an aircraft up into the skies that you’ve probably never even seen before, despite being relatively modern, then this is a fine choice. It’s got a lot of personality, with a unique white and yellow paintjob that shows up extremely well in X-Plane.

The attention to detail in the model is absolutely outstanding – if you compare the aircraft in game to a real-life picture of this rare little beauty, you’ll be able to see the incredibly similarities. The little features all come together fantastically in this design, and make sure that you are left with an aircraft that looks absolutely outstanding and performs just as you would have hoped for.

The aircraft came with some of the models using the fancy D100 glass cockpit, as well as an autopilot system. If you want to really get all of the magic out of this aircraft you might want to try this out; it’s fairly quick through the air and can be a useful tool for jetting around in. It’s different design from anything seen before by Piper means that it can be a fan novelty jumping behind what is a totally different cockpit.

Whilst you won’t have access to any of the fancy autopilot features that some of the more premium models were shipped with, you’ll have a Garmin GNS5300 GPS to use as your means of navigation. The sleek features and simplistic design make this the perfect aircraft for those who prefer something smaller that’s a little more versatile hand your traditional aircraft. It’s a dream to fly thanks to the realistic approach to the flight dynamics and despite barely making it out of the factory this can be a very useful addition to any X-Plane enthusiast’s custom aircraft collections.
