Get acquainted with an exceptional freeware repaint crafted exclusively for the payware A2A Simulations Piper PA-28 Cherokee. Developed by Tim Scharnhop, this refined texture showcases the N2442C variant, bringing a realistic finish to your general aviation adventures in Microsoft Flight Simulator X. The Piper Cherokee series, first introduced in the 1960s, continues to serve as a reliable training platform and touring option, and this livery precisely depicts that enduring spirit.

Eye-Catching Exterior Details

This repaint signifies a faithful representation of the N2442C registration, featuring refined markings and crisp color schemes that stand out during both ground operations and airborne maneuvers. Enthusiasts who appreciate the Cherokee’s low-wing design and stable flight characteristics will find the exterior details meticulously matched, including the chrome spinner model that underscores the period-correct aesthetic. By integrating subtle shading along the fuselage, the livery intensifies visual appeal, especially when cruising under dynamic lighting conditions above varied sim landscapes.

Technical Setup Instructions

  1. Extract the A2A_PA28_N2442C.ZIP archive into a suitable temporary directory. Make sure to maintain the folder structure during extraction.
  2. Locate the newly created folder named texture.N2442C and transfer it into the A2A_Piper_PA28_180_Cherokee directory, which resides in your Microsoft Flight Simulator X\SimObjects\Airplanes folder.
  3. Open the aircraft.cfg file in a text editor. Then locate the last [fltsim.XX] entry. Copy and paste the following code block right underneath, renumbering the XX in the bracket to continue the correct sequence.
  4. Save those changes and exit the text editor. Upon launching your simulator, look for the new livery in the aircraft selection menu.

Important Reminders

As a repaint package, this download does not include the base payware aircraft. You will need the A2A Simulations Piper PA-28 Cherokee, which is available for separate purchase (such as from platforms like SimShack). Once installed, you can enjoy the realism of this authentic livery as you explore the skies. The Piper PA-28 series remains a staple in flight schools across the globe, and this particular repaint by Tim Scharnhop does justice to the intricacies of the original airplane’s look and registration details.
