Cherokee question for A2A

[pilottj]

Hey guys,
I wanted to ask Scott or one of the staff familiar with the Cherokee project if the Cherokee 235 is planned. If I recall from the video awhile back that different engine variants were planned, I couldn't remember which models were selected. Really hoping for the 235, which should be a nice little hotrod. The downside of the 172 will be its rather pedestrian cruise speed, the Cherokee 235 will bring a little more pop...crusing around 130-140kts depending on speed mods.


Cheers
TJ

In the video Scott did mention the 235hp 6 cylinder engine. I don't know if that means their FSX version will actually have selectable engines or not though. That'd be really neat if it did though!

TJ,

We're not 100% sure how we're going to bring the Cherokee 235 to the market (either part of the first release or shortly after). Personally, I love that little work horse - it carries it's own weight.

Molleh, yes, we do plan on being able to not just select props in the maintenance hangar, but the engines as well.

Scott.

Thanks for the reply Scott,
Looking foward to it, no matter how you release it, whatever works best for you guys LOL you guys could really go to town with all Cherokee variations if you really wanted to, there are so many, not to mention all the STC-able parts

One advantage of doing the Cherokee 235 is that you will have a nice Lycoming O-540 core, which would set you up nicely for the Comanche or any other O-540 bird you may plan.

Cheers
TJ
