NEWS! - Reality Expansion Pack for JustFlight PA28 Arrow III (XP12)

 

 

Simcoders have released a REP - Reality Expansion Pack for the JustFlight PA28 Arrow III. This is for only the X-Plane 12 version and non-turbo variant. PA-28R ARROW III XP12 you will need this aircraft to use his addon pack.

 

The idea of these "Reality Expansion Pack" REP packs are to bring a bit more of the everyday running of a GA light aircraft to life, and to also add in more functionality and extra features not found in the original package. Basically if you have used one REP pack then they are all the same with just the aircraft they are attached to in being different.

 

Features include:

Ultra Realistic Flight & Ground Dynamics**

- Realistic stall speeds & behavior
- Realistic climb speeds
- Realistic cruise speeds
- Realistic taxi behavior

**Complex Damages System**

- Triggered by the pilot actions
- Based on real world data
- Target every system in the aircraft
- Meant to teach you how to correctly manage an airplane

**Economic System**

- Can be enabled/disabled on the fly
- Earn virtual money when you fly
- Use virtual money to buy fuel and do maintenance/repairs
- Realistic fuel prices around the World
- Fully compatible with FSEconomy.

### Extended features list

#### Developed by real pilots

The SimCoders.com team is made by real pilots. We code all our own
flight experience into REP and try to provide you the most amazing
experience in X-Plane.

#### Realistic and complex engine logic

The engine is meticulously reproduced by enhancing the new PT-6 turbine
model introduced by Laminar in X-Plane 11.

We started from the base model and override those parts of the engine
that needed some pimps to reach perfection.

#### Ultra Realistic Flight & Ground Dynamics

A custom flight dynamics engine is replacing part of the internal
X-Plane engine in order to enhance the realism of the simulation. You
will experience realistic speeds and fuel consumptions at every power
setting.
The correct drag during the landing gear operation is realistically
simulated.

The aircraft uses the correct distances to takeoff and landing and
reaches the correct vertical speed during climb.

The ground dynamics are enhanced by a realistic cross wind behavior.

#### Damages System

If you are a reckless flier you will experience many failures based on
the real Pilot's Operating Handbook.

#### Interactive pre-flight checklist and walkaround

Do your ground pre-flight checks using the interactive walkround module.
Check the wheel status, the elevators, the aileron and the rudder. Remove the
choks and the tie-downs.

#### Popup kneeboard

Follow the real Normal Operations Checklists to fly the airplane. Use
the Emergency Checklist when you experience a failure. Plan your flight
basing on the real performance tables.

The popup kneeboard is easy to use and contains all the informations you
need to conduct your flight.

#### Living Airplane

The airplane saves its state and restore it when you restart the
simulator.

An example? After loading your airplane into X-Plane, it will have a
warm engine depending on how much time has passed from the last session.

#### HeadShake integration

If you install HeadShake v1.5 or higher in your system, it will
communicate with REP to extend the simulation realism.

#### Maintenance Tool

You can perform the maintenance of your aircraft using the included
maintenance tool (also called Hangar View). Change the oil, check the
cylinders status, recharge the battery and more.

#### Realistic sounds set

Feel the wind flowing around the fuselage, the landing wheels screech
during an hard landing, the brakes squeaking and many more. The included
sounds are recorded on-board a real aircraft.

#### Custom settings window

A settings window allows you to enable or disable some of the software's
features.
