While we’re still waiting for the plane to come out the manuals for the JF Piper Arrow III are now available to check
Additionally I’ve also found the manual for the Piper AutoControl IIIB autopilot which I think is the version modelled here.

Thanks! Hoping to see it released soon.
Best Regards!
Awesome, I’ve been dying to get my hands on this.
Did anyone successfully download the manuals? I’m getting a 403 on both the aircraft manual and the ODM manual…
Both the file links look to be working for me.
Does it work if you go direct to the files ?

Still a 403… I’m in Europe. Maybe they’re geoblocking the files? Couldn’t think of a reason why though.
UK here, and it downloaded okay.
Also Europe. Works for me too.
Weird… I even tried different computers across Germany but no luck.
Edit: Got them via VPN eventually. Really looking forward to the Arrow.
A nicely written manual, but I find 44.99 usd is a little bit pricey.

Yeah, extremely pricey. I was looking forward to this until I realized it is going to have an A2A price tag with about the same quality as Carenado. What do they think they made, a triple A game? Sadly a lot of suckers will buy it, furthering the idea that it is okay for 3rd party devs to overcharge for average payware planes.
How do you know the quality of it? It’s not even out yet.
Are you comparing it to the X-Plane version perhaps?
At £32.24, it is around £5 more than the Thranda PC-6. If you want to compare this to the cost of the X-Plane PA-28, it is £43.95, so a fair bit cheaper.
I don’t consider this outrageous, just a little more expensive than other MSFS planes.

Sadly the price of Aerosoft’s CRJ and above the Carenado. I love the old school look, but the price is just not right for this plane. Especially knowing that a lot of people want it and it will sell MANY copies for sure.

There is an optional texture file included that will let you have a new look, rather than the worn look.

I meant the old-school 1970s look of the cockpit with red cloth seats and window curtains. I did not mean worn out or new. Just the general look of older Arrow as compared to more modern 2000s Arrow cockpit that Carenado will simulate.

It’s JustFlight, we know the quality of it. Last time I checked they don’t have realistic engine management and wear or a standalone physics simulation. It is nowhere near the quality of an A2A plane which has all that, yet it is about the same price. That’s not acceptable.

It does have a few failure modes like oil consumption, vapor lock, and spark plugs fouling, as well as multiple options for the GPS in the panel (including a non-Asobo GPS) so there is a little more to it then the Carenado aircraft. 100 pages of manuals as well.
I agree that it’s not clear if it is worth $45 though.
Just Flight seems to think that is what an MSFS aircraft costs. DC Designs said that Just Flight set the price of the F-15 as the publisher.
I hope products like this at this price doesn’t drive A2A and others to even higher prices.
I want the Turbo version anyway, hopefully by the time that comes out we get some update from A2A.

DYING FOR THIS! thank you!
It has those features eh? First I’ve heard of that and that’ll be a first in MSFS, that would be cool. I am so spoiled by A2A it just feels so boring starting an airplane in MSFS knowing you could just start it full throttle and take off with no problems or let it idle all day without issues.
The last thing Scott said on the A2A forums didn’t sound good, sounds like they haven’t even started working with the physics of the Aerostar at all, so it’s going to probably be a really long time before anything comes from them.

Maybe he need to fix the real Aerostar first. Anyway, there’s an addon that can generate random system failure in the sim.
