Just Flight Previews PA-38 Tomahawk in MSFS

Just Flight, the developers behind the PA-28R Turbo Arrow III/IV and the PA-28-161 Warrior II, took to their Facebook Page and published a couple of previews of their upcoming PA-38 Tomahawk in MSFS. Not much info was provided on the caption of the post, save for a confirmation that a product page with more information will come soon in a couple of weeks. For the previews, it speaks of a highly detailed visual model and texturing in which one can see even the slightly misaligned engine cap and latches were modelled:

The real aircraft is designed as a competing alternative to Cessna's ubiquitous C-150 series trainers, both are two seats and even shares the same engine. Though for Piper, the Tomahawk has a less than stellar reputation, due primarily to the controversy surrounding its wing design between the pre-production unit that was used for certification and the production design, both of which have different stall characteristics which culmulated to the 1994 crash and a subsequent debacle surrounding its certification in the US and across the world. The issues were ironed out, the Tomahawk now enjoys one of the best safety records in its class, but the repute lingered and it's sometimes jokingly referred to as the "Traumahawk":

That’s all for the news, we’ll be keeping an eye on this development. Stay tuned! For the original Facebook post, visit here.
