As far as light aircraft go, the Piper PA-28 is definitely a favorite for many who choose to use them for personal use, but they are also ideal for use in flight training. Carenado's faithful representation of the PA-28-181 Archer II, is a welcome addition to the Flight Simulator 2004 catalog and is one befitting of high praise thanks to its attention to detail and authenticity. Now available as an immediate download, this is a perfect aircraft for starter pilots, and a worthwhile addition to any pilots virtual hangar.
This package comes with three different models, one with fairings, one without and one that falls somewhere in between. The models are finely crafted, with smooth curves in all the right places and textures that are brimming with details. Each of the four available liveries feature simple designs that accent the natural shape of the aircraft and each of them can be used on any of the models without any issues. The external model features many animated sections and moving parts that help to bring the PA-28's liveliness into the model.
Accurate navigation, beacons and landing lights ramp up the level of realism, but the biggest boon to authenticity is the new original sound set. High quality digital stereo sounds have been recorded directly from the real aircraft, a new feature of Carenado products, and it certainly pays off. The new sound set works wonderfully in blending all the other elements of the aircraft into one unified and compelling model.
The interior of the aircraft is no stranger to detail either. Featuring a 3D modeled pilot and cockpit area, complete with custom panel and gauges, the cockpit is where you can really immerse yourself in the experience. With realistic light effects on gauges, nightlight effects on the panel and a separate switch for instrument lights and dome lights, the virtual cockpit can become very atmospheric; turning off the dome light during a night flight plunges you into the glow of your instruments and the horizon beyond your window.
Carenado seem to have mastered the trinity of strong visuals, audio and flight dynamics, that make it possible to become completely absorbed in the simulated world around you. Thanks to their hard work, the PA-28 provides a fun and authentic flight experience every single time.
