Missing Description and Performace

Post by Busty_Bomber »

Hi,

Just a basic but important thing, the description and Performance sections are blank, would be nice to read something.

I do not own the 180, but I don’t have a screen on any of my other :a2a: aircraft. What program are you using??
Kind Regards

Some A2A aircraft products have the information in the preview while others do not. It's an easy DIY fix though. For the Cherokee I just went to Wikipedia and copied some information to fill the description, and then I pasted in some specs from the manual to fill the Performance space. Find your aircraft.cfg for the Cherokee and it is an easy edit:

description="The original Cherokees were the Cherokee 150 and Cherokee 160 (PA-28-150 and PA-28-160), which started production in 1961. In 1962, Piper added the Cherokee 180 (PA-28-180) powered by a 180-horsepower (134-kW) Lycoming O-360 engine. The extra power made it practical to fly with all four seats filled and the model remains popular on the used-airplane market. In 1968, the cockpit was modified to replace the "push-pull"-style engine throttle controls with quadrant levers. In addition, a third window was added to each side, giving the fuselage the more modern look seen in current production."
