Modell: 
This is a rewrite of the default PA20 180 AI aircraft files to allow the aircraft to be flown in FS2002 - and have good PA28 180 performance.

My own experiences of the performance files for the Cherokee left me with the feeling that they were only made to get the aircraft in a flyable state and with no attempt to model the real PA28 behaviour.

These files are quite accurate regarding speeds. The Max Sea Level speed of a PA28 180 is 132kts and, at a 2200rpm power setting, it cruises at 110kts. This model meets those speed targets. However, I have altered a lot of the default values so that the model actually feels like a Cherokee as well.

The PA28 is a nice, safe aircraft to fly. It is a pity that MS didn't release a full working model of the aircraft with FS2002. I have done my best to try and fill the gap.

Note:

As with the default FS PA28 I have created three separate identities in the aircraft.cfg file. In my version there is a US registered PA28, a UK registered version and a South African version. You can easily change these registrations to those of your own choosing. Simply look for the ATC_ID line in each [fltsim] section and replace the registration with one of your own preference.
