A2A Cherokee is here!
- Thread starter pilottj
- Start date
First flight from KDXR to KBDL was really nice, both hand flying and tried out the AP. Be sure to read the documentation on it's use....it is different than the typical BK AP.
Just like the real Cherokee, the A2A Cherokee very stable and easy to hand fly. I hand flew the GPS LPV approach into KBDL...easiest airplane I have ever flown an approach in.
RXP users be sure to check the RXP FAQ notes on the A2A Cherokee Tech forum.
All in all, another A2A masterpeice.
Cheers

ps...DX10ers, be sure to run Steves DX10 fixer after installing the Cherokee.

absolute brilliant. Hand flying at its best
I've got em in mine
yes and no. Accu-sim is installed at the same time as the plane, but theres a button where you can turn it off when you load the plane.
Why is that?
Some of the light textures like beacon and landing light are fixed when running DX10 fixer.
Here are the rest of the shots from this trip. Already have 5hrs logged on the plane lol. I did a speed test at 6000' which is optimum altitude for the Hershey winged Cherokee. With speed mods attached and redline power setting showing about 135KTAS. As with accusim and real planes, flying at redline isn't a wise thing to do. Most of the trip I flew at 8500', leaned for power at 2550RPM, yielding around 124KTAS
Landed at a gusty and stormy Niagra Intl. The Cherokee's stable ride made for relatively painless NDB approach and landing. This is an excellent plane for practicing IAPs.
Why would you want an A2A plane without Accu-sim?
I like to fly but without all the fuss of the real thing. To many aircraft to remember all the little things if you have to fly it like real.. Would be okay if I only had one or two planes!

I have put 10hrs on the plane so far, flown day, night, VFR, IFR, calm weather, stormy weather, flown LPV, ILS, NDB, and Visual approaches. Everything works perfectly, no bugs, glitches, or crashes at all. The one thing I thought was a minor bug is actually feature lol. The night lighting is beautiful, functional, and at realistic levels.
I would be very hard pressed to 'demote' my beloved BTS RV-7 to 'second' favorite GA, but this Cherokee is something special. Sure, it isn't exactly a speed demon, but it has lots of character and what a sweetheart to fly. I could hand fly approaches all day in it. It's simple S-Tec AP has no glideslope or VS control. Who needs that stuff anyway when this plane flies so wonderfully by hand.
