The Piper PA-42-1000 Cheyenne 400 LS is a fast, twin-engine turboprop aircraft. First introduced in 1983, there were only 41 Cheyenne 400's built.

This comfortable and speedy aircraft has been a favorite for corporate and charter aviation. The Cheyenne series is known for its versatility, having the ability to fly in and out of a variety of different size airstrips, on just about any kind of surface. 

The Cheyenne's pressurized cabin accommodates up to eight passengers comfortably.  You can find complete aircraft specifications here.

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 2004, the following are minimum guidelines to achieve acceptable performance:
  • Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 or 2002 - *Required for use of this software
  • Pentium IV or AMD Athlon/Duron microprocessor or higher with 2 GHz MHz + speed and 512 MB RAM minimum
  • Windows 2000 minimum.  Windows XP recommended *
  • Nvidia or ATI Radeon based 3D accelerator video card with full antialiasing and T&L lighting capability and a minimum of 128 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 3.0 GHz+ speed  CPU, 1024 MB system RAM and 256 MB or preferably 512 MB video RAM will perform much better.

 
*The aircraft may install and run in Windows 98/ME, providing your Windows software environment is in good order. But since the Windows 9X platform was notorious for program installation problems, driver conflicts, general instability and poor memory management compared to contemporary operating systems we cannot support problems resulting from the use of this long obsolete platform. Windows 9X is generally considered inadequate for today's DirectX applications and Windows XP is strongly recommended.  We cannot support issues arising from the Windows 9X software environment.
