PA-28R Arrow III

@florence No worries! Glad you figured it out

@weptburrito Thanks!!

@martyn Hello Martyn, thank you for the fast feedback. Then I actually prefer to use the A variable. And that's the way I go with "SUCTION PRESSURE, psi". (Whereby the displayed values do not match the display in the cockpit. But I hope to find a solution for that)

@bjorntm Sorry, but given the number of copies sold via the MarketPlace, we can't really offer free copies of the other version to those that have bought elsewhere. NB that the PA28s are officially licensed by Piper so the paperwork would be a nightmare.

@bjorntm The CTRL+0 trick still works for me. Wish I could be more helpful.

@katchaplin said in Constant Speed Propeller advice: so 2400 RPM is less wear and tear on an engine than 2500 Let's say, it's less load. You can think of the manifold pressure as the amount of power the engine delivers per cycle and of RPM as a multiplier, i. e. how often this power is delivered. In the real world, vibration can be a concern, too. As has been truly noticed above, IO-360 is a rather enduring engine. So for purposes of setting power you reduce to 25/2500 or 25/2400 in climb mainly to increase your comfort and the comfort of those on the ground around the airport. If you don't care, you can climb at full/full.

@retiredman93231 Thanks! 'State saving' is what the button is called, and that seemed to work as the Co-pilot stayed enabled.

@ron-attwood I don't doubt that you are having a problem... but, I am currently using v0.10.1, as you are, and everything is working correctly...? The trim direction is exactly the same as it is on the default MSFS aircraft, like the C172.

To add to the above, at KCVO Corvallis Muni: NAV1 on and set to CVO (115.40) DME off No Morse ident for NAV1 Switch on DME in RMT mode Still no Morse ident for NAV1 Switch DME to FREQ mode and set to 115.40 Morse ident for NAV1 now works Switch DME back to RMT mode with FREQ mode still set to 115.40 Morse ident for NAV1 still works So Morse ident for NAV1 only works if DME is on and set to the same frequency. NAV1 Morse ident should work if DME is off (but doesn't). NAV1 Morse ident should also work if DME is on and set to another frequency (but doesn't).

@Martyn Yeah, that's understandable. You all seem to be doing the best with what MSFS provides so I can live with minor stuff like that. @sender46 When I'm flying on pilotedge I of course have the radios on, but offline there's nobody to talk to so I basically pretend I'm flying nordo (which is perfectly legal as long as you stay out of airspace which requires comms). But turning the radio on is super easy, barely an inconvenience, so I suppose it doesn't really matter.

@derek Thanks for the reply ...

@retiredman93231 I thought of the possibility of the other complex bindings possibly contributing to this behavior. So as I mentioned in my last reply yesterday this behavior persists with the Bravo and all but one other simple controller with a single two position switch powered down. I will have to check that circuit breaker though. Wouldn't it be nice if it was just that simple!! Getting back to the Arrow after installing SU7 I had another idea of what might keeping the gear lever in the cockpit from moving in response to the GEAR UP command variable. It was because I was parked on the ground! It was that simple! On all my other RG aircraft the gear lever in the cockpit would move up and down in response to GEAR UP and GEAR DOWN commands even while sitting on the ground, and that became my lazy man test to see that the switch assignments were correct without taking the time to taxi and actually takeoff. That does not work with Arrows! Once off the ground the cockpit gear lever goes up and the gear retracts in response GEAR UP command as expected. However I do not believe this behavior is truly realistic. I do not recall anything preventing the gear handle in the RL Arrow from being raised to the gear up position while on the ground. It is the squat switch is that prevents gear retraction on the ground in that aircraft, not the gear handle itself. I have read that some aircraft may actually have a mechanical linkage preventing the gear handle from being raised into the gear up position. But not the Arrow.

Further tweaks are coming very soon - https://community.justflight.com/topic/1806/update-change-logs-v0-10-0-released-edited-18-11-21/1 Hopefully the SDK will give us more options for reflections soon.

@gabe777 The Turbo was an upgrade for Arrow users and there was a bundle. No backwards discount unfortunately.

@cgnoorloos I second that. The III is my most flown plane by a long shot. I now fly entirely in VR and would like to think if I ever found myself in a PA28, I would know where everything is. I fly almost entirely by hand and never put on the Altitude hold as that is not part of the original plane.
