Following on from their PA-28 series, C152 and Duchess Model 76, this highly detailed simulation of the PA-38 Tomahawk is being developed by Just Flight's in-house team following comprehensive, hands-on research with a real-life Tomahawk, G-BNKH, based at Goodwood Aerodrome with SportAir.
The PA-38 Tomahawk is a two-seater, piston-engine aircraft equipped with a fixed tricycle landing gear, 112hp four-cylinder engine and fixed-pitch propeller – an ideal aircraft for touring and flight training.
The PA-38 is flown all around the world and our add-on reflects that global popularity. The package features liveries from the UK, USA, Canada, France, Australia and Germany.
Model
Accurately modelled PA-38 Tomahawk, built using real-world aircraft plans and comprehensive photography of the real aircraft
Numerous animations including passenger doors, cockpit window, sun visors and engine exhaust
Ground equipment including chocks and tie-downs
HD textures are used to produce the highest possible texture clarity
Bump and specular mapping used throughout the aircraft to produce a truly 3D feel
PBR materials (requires P3D v4.4 or later)
Cockpit
A truly 3D virtual cockpit right down to accurately modelled seat belts and screw heads - every instrument is constructed fully in 3D with smooth animations
Authentic fuel and RPM gauge needle 'wobble'
Dimmable instrument lighting
Cockpit textures feature wear and tear based on reference photos taken in the real aircraft to produce an authentic environment
Interactive engine start checklist
Interactive checklists for every stage of flight
Panel state system which will automatically save the panel state whenever a flight is saved and reload the panel state whenever that flight is loaded
Aircraft configuration system that will allow you to choose between 'cold & dark' or 'ready for take-off'
Fully functional and comprehensive IFR-capable avionics fit
Flight computer panel with useful information such as fuel burn, endurance, speed and wind speed/direction
Flight1 GTN and GNS integration in the virtual cockpit (Flight1 GTN/GNS sold separately)
