Piper Archer CX: Difference between revisions

The Piper Archer CX is a low wing, single engine semi-fictional civilian aircraft based off of the Piper Cherokee airframe.

 

 

The CX is a fictional variant of the Piper Archer TX/LX series; while both the Archer TX and LX have glass cockpits, the CX (C for conventional cockpit) uses old-style analog gauges similar to the ones used in the Piper Archer II/III aircraft.

 

 

The Piper Archer CX starts with the collector tank half full; you can start the engines by turning the key to the right three times (press {{key press|<nowiki>}</nowiki>}} three times), then start it by holding down either {{key press|s}} or {{key press|<nowiki>}</nowiki>}} until the engine starts.

The Piper Archer CX has a custom-made realistic electrical system; for example, the lights will dim when you crank the engine. The aircraft starts with the battery and alternator switches on (which can be confirmed with the battery voltage gauge to the left of the pilot's yoke). If both the battery and alternator are turned off, all electrical systems will not work (including the starter and fuel pump); if only the alternator is on but the engine is off, there will be no power as well.
