ARCHER.DOC Documentation
Early in 1991 I became a real life student pilot, flying Piper Warriors.
Since I was already hooked on FS4 I wanted to be able to fly realistic
looking Piper PA-28 model planes in FS4. Even though ASD included a
"Cherokee Archer" it doesn't look much like a real Archer and the paint
scheme is especially unrealistic.
Eventually, I become a license private pilot and continued to fly Warriors
and Archers. During the summer of 1992 I purchased an Archer of my own,
N8439T. When AAF became available there was no question what my first
project with it was going to be...
The end results are pretty good, though as we all know FS4 does have some
limitations. Looking at the sim you'll have a pretty good idea what the
real N8439T looks like.
Feel free to use all the FS4 provided instruments when flying N8439T, as
it's equipped pretty much like FS4 is (dual nav/com, DME, ADF, transponder,
autopilot). There's a LORAN installed too...maybe in FS5.
I hope you enjoy flying the N8439T sim as much as I enjoy flying the real
one!
Note: My original upload had the point of rotation, and thus the pilot's
viewpoint too close to the ground. This update fixes the problem.
For you information freaks, here's some details on the Archer:
