PA-28R Arrow III

@DiscoBear forgot to mention that i'm talking about the Piper Arrow :)

As per the build notes, this will be fixed in the next update. Took a while to find a workaround solution for this MSFS quirk.

It'll be an update to the Arrow III with various GTN 750 integration fixes and improvements.

The GPS 100 will be replaced by a blanking panel in the next update.

Support say they can't hear this (which I can't understand) and won't be changing it cos that's how they recorded it from the real aircraft. That doesn't make sense to me cos it's not the same as the P3D version.

Am I really the only one who can hear the intermittent/slowly pulsing whine from the fuel pump from 21:16 to 22:19 in this recent review video???:

In videos of the real aircraft the fuel pump just makes a continuous noise. Maybe the aircraft JF recorded it from had a faulty fuel pump and we need a repair option? <Half joking, half not>.

Hoping they have recorded from a real Turbo with a good fuel pump for the Turbo version.

Hi Martyn,

Thanks for the quick response. The problem was a conflict with a lights mod in the folder 'justflight-aircraft-pa28-arrow-iii_PanelLightsWithNormalLanding' - removing that restores the knob functions. Probably that mod was for the pre-GTN750 version of the panel.

Thanks for your support.

@Bert-Pieke said in We need a NAV/GPS switch for the Arrow:

@vcapra1

Just rethinking the whole thing... for the GNS and GTN panels, no switch (or clickspot) required, check. You can switch on the GPS unit, using the CDI button.

For the G100 panel, fix the connection to NAV mode and leave it there, no switch (or clickspot) required either.

Problem solved.

No, that is not a satisfactory solution at all. See my answer to your comments in this post:

@Martyn thanks. Ticket created.

See - https://community.justflight.com/topic/2012/no-more-gns430-gps-option-on-0-4/4

Unfortunately we could find no way to include the options for having the GNS 430 as both COM1/NAV1 (as the primary GPS) and COM2/NAV2 (when selected alongside the GNS 530), as you have to define in the panel.xml file which COM/NAV radio each GPS controls and that is only checked when the aircraft is first loaded. We'll continue to investigate and restore the GNS 430 option if we find a solution.

This will be fixed in the next update.

Thanks for reporting this. It will be fixed in the next update.

This will be fixed in the next update.

We're using the logic/model behaviour supplied to us by the GTN 750 developer. Can you confirm if you see different behaviour in other aircraft using the GTN 750?

@Martyn said in ON/OFF Control Assignments Issues:

The beacon light control code is identical to all the others so we're investigating if the issue is caused by MSFS/SimConnect.

There is also no way to intercept the fuel pump on/off events using SimConnect in a WASM gauge at the moment.

This might be an MFS-wide issue, where the button functions are not hooked up correctly in the code.

Tnx! That was it. Just did an ILS now with CB on short final. Really cool;) Tnx a lot!

@RetiredMan93231 That works for me :) Thanks to all for the input on this thread.

For further information, this is the load_safety_factor line from the Bonanza flight_model.cfg file:

load_safety_factor = 1.5 ; Flap negative load limit when down. Same dimension as gravity vector FEET/SECONDS^2

If this is correct it appears from this that the load_safety_factor line only applies when the flaps are down, which further justifies changing the negative G limits in the Piper Arrow file rather than change the load_safety_factor.

@weptburrito Yes This is the breaker I used. When that didn't work, I pulled them all. The gear will still extend and retract.
Created a ticket and got acknowledged that the ticket was placed. Waiting on further advice from Just Flight.

Thanks, everyone.

Ok I’ll try that. Thanks for the advice guys.
