A2A Cherokee is here!

Scott, how about doing a Piper Aztec? No one has made one in years, and it was and still is, a workhorse of a plane. I know you all could do a great job on it. The community is lacking this model!

Last night while I was working the pattern in the A2A Cherokee I thought back to when I was a boy in rural NC. I had a passion for aviation but very few resources to learn about it.
This was before personal computers and flight simulation for entertainment.
I read the Encyclopedia Britannica's entry on flight many times over including the drawing of a red Piper Cherokee and the forces of flight and I thought that Cherokee looked mighty cool.
Now as I flew the downwind in my virtual Cherokee, high and fast as usual, I pulled back a fist full of thrust thinking "drag, gravity, do your thing" and smiled at the memory. Pretty cool.

What a great observation! And so true!
 
I'm having problems with the autopilot (getting it to work). Did a quick look at the manual - did I miss it?


Thanks

As someone who has just entered the accusim world with the C182, I find my self looking at this plane as well, to any that have both do you find that it is still relevant or is the c182 enough?
 
That is somewhat personal opinion and into the realm of high wing v low wing debates which is never ending. It'll depend on what your simming is like really, the Cherokee is totally different to the C182 but if your not mega into GA then maybe one GA is enough?

Personally for me from a warbird interest background I love the Cherokee for its low wing and more fighter like properties, plus the character of a 180C with worts and all modelled is a nice change from the high wing flying.

cheers a totally bias :kilroy:,

I can tell you that in real life flying the Cherokee vs Cessna anything the Cherokee is more stable and suffers less in mildly turbulent air. Like Lewis said it is a different airplane and while basic skills in flying it are the same, there are differences. I love the Cherokee in real life flying but you also don't get the view you get from a 182 in real life. I have all the A2A warbirds and the B377 but I don't have any of the new A2A GA stuff yet, however when fortune smiles again I will get them all. :O) My take on it, if you've got the bucks get the Cherokee you won't be disappointed.

Having more than my fair share of the A2A planes, the different GA planes each have their own "character". The 182 is great, but the Cherokee envisions the grace of the P-51 in the form of a GA aircraft...it's just smooth, completely different feel than the 182 and 172, but in a good way...you won't be disappointed .
 
Cool, thanks ksheadley

Well it looks like my journey with accusim will continue

Bring on a Jet version of some sort
