The Piper Navajo
One of the most enduring and robust general aviation twins ever made is the Piper Navajo. The offers a spacious and roomy cabin with generous seating for  six, a roomy flight deck, and a generous baggage allowance.  The air-stair door set the  Navajo apart from  contemporary, more traditional low-wing twin designs of that day.


The Navajo could best be described as a robust workhorse.  It is a satisfying aircraft to fly if flown  well, and this durable design serves operators well.  From a pilot's perspective it is a pleasant albeit noisy aircraft  to fly.  Flight deck noise levels are quite intrusive at even moderate power settings and few choose to operate the  Navajo without the use of headsets. 

Power plant options available from engine manufacturers are many, as are propeller options.  One such variant is the   Panther modification of the Navajo CR Colemill version, which one of the two models we offer here.  This visually striking modification  of the venerable Navajo CR features some immediately obvious aerodynamic enhancements in the form of prominent  winglets.  Power plant modifications include contra-rotating four bladed 'Q-Tip' propellers and higher performance 350Hp  engines with dual magnetos for improved reliability. The engine and propeller modifications, combined with aerodynamic  enhancements, result in an appreciably quieter cabin and usefully improved performance in terms of acceleration,  increased climb and cruise performance. 

 

Although it has been out of production for almost twenty years, the Navajo remains one of the most sought after twin  engine general aviation designs of all time. It has been the focus of much attention and design enhancements by third party remanufactures.

Aerodynamic  improvements and improved sound insulation, and cabin sealing being two areas of interest. The basic airframe offered  considerable scope for comfort enhancements especially as the airframe aged.

 

 

 

 

Several very interesting videos on several of the Navajo variants are available here:

 

 

Features
  • Unparalleled aircraft modeling, incorporating all of the advanced visual design techniques, including full-feature animation and an unprecedented level of detail from nose to tail.
  • Ultra-realistic flight dynamics
  • True asymmetric torque effect
  • Authentic panel instrumentation and aircraft systems
  • Persistent damage modeling with repair/cost management
  • Complete cabin environment controls

  • 9 additional paint schemes available

  • Complete documentation and checklists.

 

Luxury and Performance

 

While relatively solid on the controls, the Navajo remains responsive if not  nimble and is stable throughout the flight envelope. The Navajo is a good IFR platform.

In the spacious rear cabin (in low density seating) the noise levels are  appreciably lower and not unpleasant. 

 

Both the standard cockpit and virtual cockpit are faithful representations to their real world counterpart down to the smallest detail.

Recommended System Specifications
While cutting edge add-on aircraft such as this will "run" on a system with the minimum specifications outlined by Microsoft for Flight Simulator, the following are minimum guidelines to achieve acceptable performance:
  • Microsoft Flight Simulator X or Flight Simulator 2004  required for use of this software
  • Pentium or AMD microprocessor or higher with 2 GHz MHz + speed and 2 MB RAM minimum
  • Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7 (32 bit or 64 bit)
  • Nvidia or ATI Radeon based 3D accelerator video card with full antialiasing and T&L lighting capability and a minimum of 256 MB onboard RAM
  • SoundBlaster Live or equivalent 128-bit DirectX sound device
  • Up-to-date DirectX video and sound drivers

Obviously, higher end systems with multi-core processors and 3.0 GHz+ speed  CPU, 2+ GB system RAM and 512+  MB or preferably video RAM will perform much better.
