FSX Piper Warrior II PA28-161 Landing

This landing was recorded quickly only to show the plane in FSX. It was the first time I flew it so please no need to analyze the landing! The airport is Sikorski in Stratford, CT.

The plane is freeware available for download on Simviation. Just go to Simviation.com and search "Piper Warror" to see the different models available for Microsoft Flight Simulator of several versions.

If you download this one you'll very likely want to follow the directons in the ReadMe file to disable the "P-factor" which pulls the plane to the left substantially at low air speed high rpm situations like take-off. It may make it more like the real thing but not something I felt the need to deal with.

To remove the P-Factor, open the aircraft.cfg file in a text editing program like Wordpad and scroll down to find:

[GeneralEngineData]
engine_type= 0
Engine.0= 4.000, 0.800, 0.000
fuel_flow_scalar= 1.000
min_throttle_limit=0.000000

and change it to read

[GeneralEngineData]
engine_type= 0
Engine.0= 4.000, 0.000, 0.000
fuel_flow_scalar= 1.000
min_throttle_limit=0.000000

Save the file and be sure to replace the original in the proper folder.

This will place the engine midline instead of offset which is how they get the P-Factor. Oddly, the settings on mine were not exactly what the readme file said they would be but I changed them from what they were to what it suggested and its fine.

This video was recorded with the freeware version of FRAPS on Windows 7 using an i7-9200 processor. Footage edited with Windows Live Movie Maker.

I fly this plane in real life. How do you get it in FSX?

@TheAviator444 Just click on "Show more" above the comments to expand my description and it shows how I got it. It should still be available to download.
