Just Flight Piper PA-28-161 Warrior II

Following the excellent Arrow and how responsive they are with feedback, patches, etc, JustFlight has to be my favourite dev! I’m not sure it will be sufficiently different to the Arrow to justify me buying it, but I do hope this aircraft is a success.

Do the Just Flight planes have the same rudder behavior as the stock planes? That is, are the turns always perfectly coordinated without any rudder? Or is that an inherent problem in the sim?

My local aero club has one of these for PPL training. Can’t wait to see it in sim, but I’d suggest JF also focus on other GA planes. A lot of similar-looking Pipers consecutively can get a bit…saturated

Inherent problem in the sim - when they fix it, the Arrow will have to be readjusted because I set the adverse yaw coefficient ridiculously high just to try and get some movement.

Have they given an approximate release date/time frame, yet? Can’t wait for this bird…

The issue might be that some of the other GA aircraft produced in house by JF are now covered in MSFS, namely the Cessna 152, and the Robin. The Piper Tomahawk might be a nice change though. At some point they will have to start working on an all-new GA fleet, not based on earlier releases.

There has been another update today with more screenshots

Here’s a final set of images from the Warrior within MSFS showing further progress and some of the fine detail on show. Our next set should be in relation to the product release. Not too long to wait now.

That’s nearly identical to the Warrior I flew for several years in a flying club… same color scheme. The panel had two VORs and an ADF; that was the extent of the geolocation devices in that particular bird. Night flying was really nice in that aircraft, but I don’t think I’d have been particularly comfortable doing any sort of flying in IMC.

High level impressions only since it’s still a work in progress and I only have a preview build, but I have to say I like it a lot! It would be very easy for all of these Piper variants to feel the same, but they all have their own unique quirks about them and the Warrior is no different.

I actually prefer this interior over all the other models, it definitely seems to have higher resolution modeling and texturing. I absolutely love these doors and seats!

I’m coming in every day to look for this one.

The C-140 looks nice, but I have so many aircraft now, it’s tough to choose which I want to fly. I’m tempted to purchase it, but, I don’t want to spend money for the sake of collecting.

Given I’m renting these (Warriors II and III), it would be an easy choice.

It won’t be very long, Scott told me exactly 7 days ago that it would be “about 10 days to 2 weeks”.

He also mentioned there will be a discount offer for past Warrior P3D/FSX owners and also for MFS Arrow/Turbo owners.

I will find the time to do a casual stream, but there are a few YouTube videos available already as well. You’ll be happy with this one for sure :slight_smile:

I’m not looking to rush it, just talking about what I’m doing.

That’s nice to hear about the discount. Makes me feel even better about having purchased the Warrior for FSX after I had already started flying in MSFS. I needed it for the RXP GNS530 for the flight training I was doing. But I just can’t go back to FSX anymore. And I spent $thousands on it.

Inevitably something will eventually come along to replace MSFS. It could be another MS product, it might be an entirely different sim.

Oh, I know. #justsayin

FSX was awesome for its time. Look how long it lasted as viable sim. X-plane fanboys aside. I tried X-plane, I just could not bond with it. FSX “felt” more like the real flying I do. I don’t regret spending the money on it, even though much of it was in the last 5 years. Flying and learning about it and everything is a big part of who I am (along with playing guitar, and hockey, and lacrosse, and engineering, and producing music, and… :wink:
No time for yard work, sadly :upside_down_face: )

Looking forward to this one more than anything else! Hopefully less than 2 weeks to wait!

Not out yet, I have a feeling it will be out around the next sim update.

I have all their Arrow products so got the e-mail discount notification 5 days ago and in it they say that it “will be on sale next week (week commencing 19th July)” so I am hoping that it will either be released today or they are waiting until the 3rd update Thursday and publish on the Marketplace and Just Flight at the same time. Either way, last we know is it should be this week sometime. Hope this helps!

For those of us flying the Arrow(s) we’ll be able to get the Warrior for a 25% discount. Just Flight is a class act, in my humble opinion, and they are good communicators.

Thanks for adding the info about discount amount, forgot to mention that, just that there was a discount email lol.

They really are a good developer. Great products and good pricing plus discount for loyal supporters. I am torn on if want the Warrior but given the discount and slow flow of new aircraft currently may just go for it!
