PA-28R Arrow III

The navigation logic used in the PA28 largely depends on what GPS is selected at the time. If the GPS100 is selected, the aircraft will be using our in-house autopilot/navigation code. If the Working Title GNS530, PMS50 GTN750, or TDS GTNXi is fitted, then the respective GPS autopilot/navigation code is used. There will be some differences in logic between each GPS as each GPS is developed by a different developer, and there will likely also be differences between MSFS 2020 and MSFS 2024 due to differences in framework between the GPS logic in both simulators (particularly with the Working Title GNS530 and PMS50 GTN750). However, with all of the GPSs, it should be the same steps to get the HSI displaying the GPS flight plan: Load a flight plan into the GPS (in MSFS 2024, this can be done manually or via the MSFS 2024 EFB) Press the CDI button on the GPS so that "GPS" mode is active (this should also be linked to the NAV/GPS switch on the console). If you wish to track a navaid with the GPS, press the CDI button again so that VLOC mode is active and then tune the VOR frequency into the VHF radios (remembering to flip the frequency from the standby to active field). Hope that helps. Mark - Just Flight

Thanks Martyn. No rush on my part given the time of year. Wishing you and the team a very Merry Christmas!

At the moment, the only way the copilot can be disabled is via the MSFS 2024 'Pilot Profile > Customise Identity' settings. Those settings can be accessed by clicking on your Xbox gamertag when in the MSFS 2024 main menu. We have less control over the pilot characters in 2024 compared to the avatars in 2020, so unfortunately, there are some limitations currently compared to their functionality in 2020. Hopefully, that will improve in future sim updates, or we will be able to find an alternative workaround. Mark - Just Flight

This typically indicates an installation and/or activation issue. Could I kindly ask you to raise a ticket with Just Flight Support at the following link: https://www.justflight.com/support In the ticket, if you could let us know if there are any error messages visible on the EFB/Tablet when you load into the aircraft, then that will put our support team in the best position to assist with troubleshooting.

The Nav Light and Panel Light controls seem to be mixed up. When the Panel Light buttons are pressed, both thumbwheels move, which means they are likely linked to the same control signal. Check the button assignments or wiring connections to make sure each light has its own separate control. If you’re using a simulator or control software, review the input settings to confirm that the Nav Light and Panel Light are mapped correctly.

So i did some more testing, and spark plug fouling is there. I left the engine on idle with full rich mixture for ~20 minutes at airport with elevation 3000ft and that's when the spark plugs fouling came up. Seems a bit too long but i am not a pilot. They also get can be cleared pretty fast, running on 2000rpm with lean mixture for around 20 seconds does the job.

From our side, the flaps and parking control assignments are completely independent of each other, so the only thing we can think of that could trigger them both would be a control assignment conflict within one of the controller profiles. Mark - Just Flight

No problem, thanks so much for the follow up and your help. Much appreciated.

I try to see which events are being sent and noted that the AP_HDG_HOLD_ON is being sent always. Please look at this video https://youtu.be/V5BdIKsfHyQ using the Spad.Next event monitor.

I have raised a ticket today, thank you

Im having problem with the trim with the Turbo Arrow III but on final approach, I read somewhere that it was impossible to flare with the TCA sidestick, so I tried it out, and at short final I noticed I had the stick all the way pulled down, I was trying to trim up the plane, but it was not reacting as expected, I hit the runway so hard that I damaged the plane.. LOL. I tried then the Turbo Arrow IV, and that was way better, I was adjusting the trim in short final and the plane reacted accordingly and I was flaring nicely. I need to check this "trim" setting on the EFB and see if it helps.

Hi, uncheck in the EFB -> Aircraft -> Aircraft Options -> Auto Fuel Selector

That's great - thank you very much for letting me know. Even after all this time, she's still one of my favourite GA add-ons.
