Just Flight updates the Arrow and Turbo Arrow with improved cockpit lighting, EFB brightness controls, and more

Just Flight’s impressive PA-28R Arrow III and Turbo Arrow III/IV are certainly at the very top of the best GA airplanes currently available for MSFS, and the developers continue to issue regular updates that make them even better. The latest update brings the usual host of fixes but also some much-appreciated features!

Each aircraft has received its own update, with some common changes between them and obviously some specific ones. Both the normal and the turbo Arrows get significantly improved cockpit lighting, which should make night flights even more pleasant. There’s also a welcome addition to the EFB: you can now control its brightness which, again, should be helpful at night. An also common change for both aircraft is improved VR compatibility when using the GTN 750.

Besides the common changes for both airplanes, the standard Arrow III also gets a few small fixes, which you can learn about below:

PA-28R Arrow III v0.7.0:

– Improved cockpit lighting
– EFB brightness controls and battery power logic added
– VR compatibility tweaked for easier use of GTN 750
– Audio ident/selector fixes
– Autopilot altitude hold logic tweaks
– Landing gear drag reduced
– KX170/KX175 COM and NAV frequencies can now be controlled using the ‘Increase/Decrease COM/NAV (WHOLE/FRACT)’ assignments
– Aileron inputs disabled whilst autopilot is engaged to prevent control issues
– RPM drop with prop lever movement fixed
– Dome light non-illuminated texture fixed, state of knob now saved
– Autopilot Nav source select can now be assigned to a control
– Fuel state is now saved

The Turbo Arrow III/IV, on the other hand, gets a longer changelist, to be expected since it was released later. It includes improvements in turbocharger/manifold pressure login, FDE fixes, and more:

PA-28R Turbo Arrow III/IV v0.2.0
