Some Just Flight news coming in with the release of the Archer III for X-Plane 12, once again in collaboration with Thranda design, and over on the MSFS side of things we have the F28 Professional coming in with version 2.2 and a 20% off sale. Let’s have a look a both pieces of news.

The next aircraft in Just Flight’s ongoing partnership with Thranda Design to bring their back catalogue of general aviation aircraft to X-Plane 12 has just arrive. The PA-28-181 Archer III for X-Plane 12 has been given extensive updates by Thranda and features PBR materials, 8K textures, a custom EFB, FMOD sound, six liveries, the dynamic livery generator system, interactive checklists, aircraft states, and a rebuilt flight model for use with the modern edition of the sim.

The aircraft is available from Just Flight’s web store and is available for $42 USD. Learn more about the Archer III here!

Fokker F28 gets a big update and sale

Version 2.2 of the Fokker F28 is here with some big updates. The aircraft is now a MSFS 2024 native (rather than compatible) aircraft with additional model LODs for improved performance, and pre-flight walk-around support. The aircraft has also picked up a bunch of other features like the latest version of Just Flight’s EFB tablet (with new positioning features), fixed chart and map flickering, a new livery option allowing for custom cabin interiors for aircraft operators, and the aircraft’s UNS-1 FMS now has SimBrief OFP import functionality. There’s more new features all listed here.

As good as that Archer III looks, I do wish Thranda would keep a few of their other modules updated as well. Seems to be a few that are old enough with FMOD sound bugs that will cause havoc with XP12 unfortunately, even though they are modeled very well, it just renders the mod(s) practically unusable.

  Which ones aren’t working so well these days? I did end up buying, though I haven’t flown it much, their XP12 updated Kodiak (I love that plane). They have quite a back catalogue of their own that would be nice to see updated.
  
  With this Archer its a bit of a different setup as I understand it. Just Flight had a bunch of these aircraft in prior versions of X-Plane and while their team have gone to MSFS development, they’ve got Thranda as a partner to spruce them up for XP12. Seems to be working. I hear positive things about them and one day I may just end up checking one out.
