The Piper PA-42 is a hugely impressive aircraft, especially for one released in the late 1970s!
While it was continued over 20 years ago in terms of production, it holds a special place in many pilot' hearts. This powerful turboprop aircraft really caught the eye in the day, and today it still makes a journey enjoyable. Developed by Carenado, this take on the Cheyenne III delivers a very clear take on a much-loved aircraft.
With total FSX and P3D integration up to v4, this is a widely compatible aircraft add-on that you can utilize. You'll also get access to the Carenado GNS530, or the Reality XP GNS 530 if you own it and use FSX. On top of the complete control over everything from start-up options to the view you get when doing so, this add-on leaves the fate of the journey in your hands.
Many smart effects are included, from take-off run and landing solutions as well a dynamic propeller shine effects. Each one adds to the visual appeal, while the simulation improvements ensure this proves a challenging aircraft to control. You can easily hear the aircraft roaring into life, with new custom sounds for both taxi and landing runs letting you hear the brakes kick into life.
Add in the new simulation features of genuinely feeling your torque fail, and this is a fun education aircraft alongside simulation for experts. Pilots and co-pilots can be turned on/off, too, making sure you always have total control over what features are on/off when you take to the skies.
With so many features accessible to you that usually would not be, this is a great choice for virtual pilots who enjoy a degree of freedom and customization with every flight.

A beautiful plane that flies perfect. The instrument panel works for that period of plane with the HSI and selectable two needle RMI. Also has a nice Garmin com/nav with moving map display.
