Post by: EHM-1465 Dominic on March 29, 2011, 03:52:50 am

Great news for Single Engine fans - Commercial Level Simulations (CLS) have just released their former payware version of the Piper Archer II for FS2004 and FSX as freeware - it's got a lovely VC and flies really well. She's a great substitute for our VFA Archer so well worth a try for your next Tour ;)

Just go to THE CLS WEBSITE (http://www.commerciallevel.com) and follow the instructions there:-

Piper Arrow now available as freeware!
Due its age we have released our Piper Arrow as freeware! Simply add to your basket and checkout without payment, you will receive a free license!

Have fun!

It comes with a *.psd paintkit file, so I'm pretty sure that will work itself out in due time ;)
(There's a lot to do right now, so it might take a little while, though...)

There's not really a unified theme for Aeroclub planes, so don't let that stop you from flying!

Probably something that will be examined at a later date.

I have no idea what you mean lol.

Never heard a plane referred to as 'soft' before - you pull the door handle and it bends like pastry? ;) or more likely she's gentle in flight, flows in the sky and you put her down on the runway with a kiss?

Yep, low speeds, relatively high lift, slow to respond to violent yoke movements, ... soft!
Difficult to trim properly, though, with this engine torque sensitivity in yaw and roll.

This does reflect the actual plane pretty well acc. to the manual. Haven't had the pleasure of flying her in real life myself, so I cannot confirm that (yet ;)).
