Many years ago, (around the year 2005), I recall using a systems simulator for my XP powered PC, based on (I think) the Piper PA44-180 Seminole. It might have been for the Piper PA28R-200 Arrow (as I flew both types back then).
The cool feature was that it had all the systems diagrams which were interactive, so that you could flip the gear up lever, for example, and the hydraulic pump would run and you could watch the flow of fluid through the valves and operate the gear, and watch the electrical switches illuminate the transit and gear up lights etc.
It also had a particularly nice representation of the variable pitch propellor and speed governor which you could control by pulling on the power and pitch lever images.
Can anyone remember who produced it and it there are any versions of it still around? Even an old copy that I could run in compatibility mode would be fine. I could very usefully use this in the classroom to entertain and enlighten my students!
