By the time you read this, there will be a new Piper in the CVS hangar - the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piper_Pacer PA 22-160 Tri Pacer]. Created by Robert Leda (aka erobo) and Pawel Luchowski, this is a lovely GA aircraft and well worth taking around the pattern or on a VFR cross-country. | |||
The level of detail is very impressive - you must prime to start the engine (making sure the mixture is set), the sound varies depending on whether you've got the window open, and the doors slam shut. | |||
The FG CVS hangar now has a very wide range of Piper aircraft, from the simple Cub, through the Cherokee Warrior II, Comanche 250, to the Seneca II. It is worth noting that the Warrior, Comanche and Seneca are all based on airframes flown by FG contributors in real life. | |||
