I hadn’t noticed that Carenado’s X-Plane product line had been upgraded, after reading Aircraft Update : Carenado v3.1 X-Plane Fleet Overview, I immediately went to download it, only to find that the latest version of the PA28 181 ARCHER II is V3.2.

Compared to V3.0 from over a year ago, there don’t seem to be many visual improvements, the biggest surprise should be the addition of an autopilot. After adding xap/panels/2 to the keyboard customization, this window can be popped up, Although the functions are still very simple, it can at least perform automatic straight Level Flight, making casual flying in the sky more enjoyable.

However, I haven’t found how to set the Heading and altitude yet, Also, the DOWN/UP buttons on the left side of this window don’t seem to work, It looks like I need to study it a bit more.

Finally, here is an exterior photo, and I have copied down the release notes.
