Piper PA-32RT-300 Lance II N5899E

This is a repaint package featuring a crisp two-tone blue-on-white scheme adorning the Piper PA-32RT-300 Lance II N5899E. Designed specifically for Microsoft Flight Simulator X, it requires the freeware base model by Paul Craig (found by searching for PCPA32RT-300.ZIP and PCPA32RT-300_UPDATE.ZIP in the Fly Away Simulation library). The repaint work has been completed by Tom Tiedman. The original base package is not included in this download.

Repaint Details and Aircraft Background

The Piper PA-32RT-300 Lance II is a T-tail evolution of the Cherokee Six family. It retains the single-engine layout, retractable landing gear, and seating for six or seven occupants, thereby offering a blend of performance and comfort that appeals to both personal and business users. This specific livery fits N5899E with a sharp two-tone blue setup over a clean white airframe, bringing a refined look to the simulator environment.

Livery Installation Steps

1. Move or copy the folder named texture.Blue N5899E into the LANCE II aircraft directory (where your Lance II is installed).

Key Highlights of This Repaint

• Realistic Color Pattern: Two shades of blue complement the white fuselage for a polished finish.
• Accurate Placement of Registration: “N5899E” markings are displayed in authentic locations to match the real aircraft.
• Refined Finish: Maintains smooth lines along the fuselage, demonstrating attention to detail from Tom Tiedman.

Additional Notes

Because this release is focused on the visual exterior, you must already have the base Piper PA-32RT-300 model by Paul Craig installed for proper functionality. Simply follow the procedures above to integrate this repaint. The Lance II design offers a spacious cabin and a relatively high-performance piston engine, which makes it suitable for cross-country trips and immersive simulation experiences in Microsoft Flight Simulator X.
