Piper Pa-28-181 Archer for FS98 by Matthias Lieberecht Lieberecht@cw-net.de January 06, 2001 Thank you for download this Package. About the Aircraft: This Plane is a repaint of Carlos Reyes nice Piper Archer in the clors of the German D-EGPA which is owned by the LSV Worms. The Flight Dynamics are completely reworked with the help of Andreas Iwanowitsch, a Member and Pilot of LSV Worms, who spends a lot of his time testing them. About the Panel: The Panel was designed with a photo of the real D-EGPA Panel and some Information from Andreas. It was my effort to create it as the Panel looks like in the real Piper. Unfortunately I couldn't realize the typical Piper Autopilot. As soon as I found a Gauge Programmer who is interested in this work (all Gaugebitmaps are ready to use) I will upload it as an update to this Panel. I do not want to use the standard Bendix Autopilot so there is no AP in this Panel at the moment. If you are a Gauge Programmer please contact me! Panel Instructions Well, I think the most things in this Panel should be clear. The Panel has three additional Windows which could be opened or closed by Mouseclicks. To close the Sunvisor just click between the left and right Sunvisor at the top of the Panel. To open the ADF Receifer click on the right knob of the ADF (the left is for setting the ADF). To open the ground view with the Fuel selector just click on the right knob of the Turn Coordinator. The Master Switch in the Panel works. This means that you couldn't start or stop the Engine if the Master switch is turned off. The same with the Fuel Pump switch. Both switches have to be on for a correct work of all other things. The warning lights in the center are (from left to right) low volts, oil pressure and (normally) suction. I could not realize the suction light so I decide to simulate it with a generator warning lamp. The real D-EGPA has a Magellan GPS instead of the Bendix GPS I used. To bring this GPS to work you need to have installed acsgps17.zip which could be found at Flightsim.com or on some other servers. Installation Just unzip all files to your Flightsim aircraft directory. All folders will be created automatically. Then unzip the Gauges.zip to your Flightsim Gauge directory. ONCE AGAIN! It's important to have installed acsgps17.zip from Alain Capt! Credits I want to thank Carlos Reyes for this great Piper Archer and Andreas Iwanowitsch for his time to test all new tryings of my Models and all the Information he gave me about the real Pa28-181 and the Panel. Dear Carlos: I've tried several times to send you an Email and ask you for your permission to use your original Piper Archer. Unfortunately I always get error messages back. I hope you are not too annoyed about that. Also a great thank to Tery Hill who allowed me using his great window textures. And for the Panel I would like to thank: Alain Capt for the GPS David Durst for his Radio Readouts HGHB for the Fuel Pressure and Transponder Gauge Dai Griffiths for the electrical Panel series Christian Koegler and Olav M. Roenningen for the Flap Lever Fred Banting for the Carb-Heat switch J.L. Stubbs for the Mixture Gauge Wagner B. Beskow (he made a very nice Pa28-161 Panel) for some of the used Gauges of his Panel. Feel free to send feedback or comments. I'm looking forward to your Mails to know in which part of the world this Package is used.
