FSX / P3D Repaint for Payware Model

FSX Tri-Pacer G-ARFD

Tri-Pacer G-ARFD brings a 1963 British look to the Lionheart Creations Piper TriPacer, matching the Universal Flying Services aircraft seen at Fairoaks with period-correct registration and blue scheme details. Designed for FSX, the repaint reflects the airframe’s real-world history while keeping the virtual cockpit and exterior presentation cohesive; requires the payware Tri-Pacer.
