To meet a 1953 post-war US Navy requirement for a high-performance multirole flying-boat, the Glenn L Martin Company offered its very advanced Model 275 design. The first XP6M-1 prototype was flown on 14 July 1955, the second following on 18 May 1956, and Martin received orders for six pre-production YP6M-1 boats powered by Allison J71-A4 afterburning turbojets, each developing a maximum 13,000 lbs of thrust.

Successful flight testing led to an order for 24 production P6M-2 aircraft, which differed primarily by having 17,000lbs of thrust from the newer non-afterburning Pratt & Whitney J75-P-2 turbojet engines. However, the contract was cancelled on 21 August 1959 after only three had been built and these, together with the YP6M-1s, were scrapped at a later date. They were the fastest flying-boats ever built !

Already a very popular aircraft on other platforms, we are excited to bring you this incredibly detailed rendition of the Warrior II, complete with realistic wear and tear, and cockpit configuration. The PA-28-161 Warrior II is a four-seater, piston-engine aircraft equipped with a fixed tricycle landing gear, 160hp four-cylinder engine and fixed-pitch propeller – an ideal aircraft for touring and flight training.
The Warrior II is flown all around the world and our add-on reflects that global popularity. In addition to our UK research aircraft, G-BOZI, this package features liveries from the USA, Canada, UK, France, Australia and Germany.
The PA-28-161 Warrior II for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020/2024 features a native model and 4096 x 4096 PBR materials for the highest possible texture detail and clarity.
Model
- Accurately modelled PA-28-161 Warrior II, built using real-world aircraft plans and comprehensive photography of the real aircraft - Numerous animations including passenger door, baggage door, cockpit storm window and sun visors - Ground equipment including chocks, tie-downs and pushback towbar - 4096 x 4096 textures are used to produce the highest possible texture clarity - PBR (Physically Based Rendering) materials with real-time environment reflections for superb quality and realism - Detailed normal mapping for down-to-the-rivet precision of aircraft surfaces - Ground services support (marshaller and fuel truck) - Full support for MSFS visual icing effects
Cockpit
- A truly 3D virtual cockpit right down to accurately modelled seat belts and screw heads - every instrument is constructed fully in 3D with smooth animations - Cockpit textures feature wear and tear based on reference photos taken in the real aircraft to produce an authentic environment - Dimmable instrument, radio and dome lighting, with separate control circuits - Tablet EFB for controlling various aircraft options and checking aircraft and flight information: - 'Cold & Dark', 'Ready for Take-off' and 'Ready for Start' aircraft states - Persistent aircraft states, allowing you to always return to your cockpit in the same state that you last left it - Automatic switching of the fuel tanks for use on those long distance cross-country flights - GPS unit selection – GPS 100, GPS 100, GNS 430/GNS 530 and GTN 750 (requires freeware PMS-50 GTN 750) - Direction Indicator (DI) or Horizontal Situation Indicator (HSI) instrument options - Aircraft failures (spark plug fouling, vapour lock, oil use and battery failure) - Passenger and baggage door controls - Flight computer with useful information such as fuel burn, endurance, speed and wind speed/direction - Fully functional and comprehensive IFR capable avionics fit including: - KMA 20 audio selector unit - KX 170B COM 1 / NAV 1 radio - KX 175B COM 2 / NAV 2 radio - KN 62 DME unit which can display information from NAV 1, NAV 2 or its own inbuilt receiver (NAV 3) - Century 21 autopilot with lateral hold modes - HDG, NAV, APR, REV (altitude hold clickspot included) - KT 76A transponder unit - KR 85 ADF unit with ADF/ANT/BFO modes and support for fractional frequencies, e. g. 383. 3 - GPS 100, GNS 430/GNS 530 and GTN 750 (requires freeware PMS-50 GTN 750) - HSI/OBS support RNAV approach indications - Yoke-mounted flight timer/clock - Altimeter with either mb or inHg barometric scales, depending on units of measurement setting - Developed using the latest MSFS standards, including intuitive and easy-to-use controls for rotary knobs, multi-position switches and levers - Fully compatible with MSFS VR mode
