Flight One Software presents...

The Meridian 2004 Showcase

Flight One Software's latest release of the Piper Meridian has brought this ultra-performance aircraft to the world of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004. This page showcases this truly remarkable turboprop in all its detail. From the highly advanced avionics suite that can deliver you to almost any airport in the most difficult IFR conditions, to the highly detailed virtual model that gets as close as possible to the real thing, you will be hard pressed to find a more advanced aircraft package for the Microsoft Flight Simulator series.

Flight One believes this aircraft is so exact, they even offer as an option (available on the Flight1.com web site) the real Meridian Information Manual that is published by Piper Aircraft, and used by actual Meridian pilots.

All photos are super high-resolution, in 24 bit colors.
