I am having major issues with the Arrow AP. I don't want its altitude hold feature active, I want to control the trim myself. I don't know if it's my logitech AP unit or what but the plane never seems to want to stop holding altitude. Because there is no switch just a clickspot, I can't tell whether altitude hold is supposed to be on or off, and my bindings for altitude and heading hold seem to do nothing in this plane. I'd like an option in the ipad to disable the clickspot and all the altitude features of the Arrows so they NEVER take control of trim, and the AP works as it would in real life, please. And ideally I'd like the "Heading Hold On" and "Heading Hold Off" bindings to work so I can use my switches instead of the mouse.

I think it might be my logitech AP unit interfering, so I will test with it unplugged, but it seems pot luck whether I can get the AP in the Arrow to release control of trim.

@Mark Thanks for your reply. From that I gleaned that the AP disconnect is not a feature of the aircraft so perhaps something might be wrong on my end.

I did a long testflight during which I unplugged my yoke and throttle quadrant and that seemed to cure the AP disconnect. After reconnecting the AP disconnected again after a while.

I checked the yoke sensivity setting in MSFS and noticed there was a "reactivity" setting I have never touched before. It showed 100 so I changed that to 98, on a hunch that this might filter out these spikes.

I did a long test flight with this setting and did not have a AP disconnect. The funny thing is, when I set it back to 100 I also did not have these AP disconnects anymore.

When I later checked for spikes using VKB Joytester I noticed that the yoke was indeed sending spikes once in a while, very short bursts but off the scale.
These did not lead to AP disconnects since I already touched the reactivity setting in MSFS.

Even after a very, very long flight the AP disconnect did not return except once when I changed GPS instruments on the tablet during a flight.

Perhaps the original value of the reactivity setting was not set properly in MSFS internally so setting it to 98 and then back to 100 reset something in MSFS.
Sorry for the long reply but hopefully someone else with a similar issue might benefit from this.

@jaspar11 I have just tested this and I am seeing the tail plan position indicator move between +5 and -3 by triggering the elevator trim assignments, so that sounds like there may be some other controller conflict that may be preventing the trim from working correctly for you.

If you could kindly contact Just Flight support via the following link, they will be able to run through some troubleshooting steps with you to get you up and running: https://www.justflight.com/support

I found that triggering failures, at least manually, rarely makes the system actually fail. In most cases only the annunciators are lit.

Described this in the neighbor topic about the fuel system.

@TrailerSwift89 These codes are three-character IATA aircraft type codes as opposed to the four-character ICAO aircraft type codes that you have referenced. FS Traffic uses IATA codes as that is what is used in the databases.

Hello,

I'm really enjoying the F28 But I noticed that the engine smoke and the contrails do not align which looks rather odd:

It would be great if this could get fixed.

Thanks a lot

@NickW61 Thanks for letting us know. We've passed this info on to our support team so that they can quickly point users in the right direction if they run into this issue.

I've been waiting patiently (mostly) for this one, since I began learning to fly in a PA-38 back in June 2022. I'm so excited that I'll finally be able to fly the same aircraft in the sim and the real world, especially in the run up to my skills test.

I have a problem using RadNav devices on the concorde. Sadly somehow i'm not able to use the OBS knob. The CRS needle just stays on the North position no matter the entered course. Tried all methods: Using the VOR/LOC REF Knob on the A/P Panel, Using the OBS on the bottom right on the HSI and also tried to input CRS via FMC. I only get the derivation but with the needle always pointing North.
You Cant even really use it like a CDI.

BTW the needle turns just fine in INS Mode.
