PA-28R Arrow III

Asobo has since added a simvar that would allow the ident button to function properly. I believe it is 'TRANSPONDER IDENT:1'

Edit: JF has confirmed this feature is coming in future updates. :clapping_hands: :beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes:

All,

I believe after some testing I have managed to resolve the broken Pipers issue. I tried many things and nothing seemed to work and then it struck me that I hadn't switched to a compeletely different plane. So, I switched to the default Cessna (the original 172) and started a flight. I then put myself back in the Piper Arrow IV and all was, once again, right with the world. I just completed a 2hr flight to El Paso and it was a great flight!

I'd like to thank you all for your help and I hope the above notes serve to help another.

Good day.

@retiredman93231 said in PA28 0.9.0 ailerons not working:

@phantoms, It sounds like your autopilot might be ON... If you turn on the autopilot while on the ground it will drive the ailerons hard over if the ROLL knob is centered.

Thank you for that advice. I finally had a good flight since SU5 and the Arrow 9.0 update.

The AP was switched off on the dash (If I use AP I usually control it with the Logitech Multipanel). I switched it on and back off and my ailerons started working correctly.

@szymek2392 Not automatically, only when you click them. But usually when I click the right yoke to show/hide it I accidentally pull a breaker and don't realize so it's still good to check

@delta558 Fully understood, and much appreciated!

@ojdee This behavior sounds similar to the random startup bugs I recently posted.

I have removed all add on liveries for my JF aircraft from my community folder to see if that clears things up. So far my last few flights have been bug free.

@vcapra1 @corvus5624 Ah, so basically, Asobo have messed around with my settings in the update... Nothing new then :)

Thanks for the pointers!

@copper
Problem solved.
I had installed a light mod for the Arrow from flightsim.to, with that installed the rotary controls work again.
I revisited the mod and there was a note explaining that the mod was incorporated in v 0.6.0 of the Arrow so the mod is no longer required.
Thanks for everyones input to help resolve my issue.

@sandhill said in Will not track a VOR radial:

Probably the biggest problem I'm having, Nav 1 and Nav 2 tune properly and OBS selects radials properly, but then in Nav or omni the aircraft will not track the radial. Sadly, the Arrow goes in the hanger pending a solution.

Mark of JF Support was kind enough to point out that even when the rotary is in Omni or Nav you musy have the rocker set to Hdg On, I don't know how or when I started getting that wrong. Excellent support, Support!

@vcapra1 Hmm, never considered that I would be using the AI pilot, I do have that checked (I like looking at scenery, lol), and if that was changed in SU5, that makes sense as well :)

Thanks!

@vcapra1 awesome, thanks for the help :thumbs_up_medium_skin_tone:

@superkaro2014 Yes, I just flew the new release and I must say, I am impressed that they both addressed the issues brought on by SU5 (at least for me, they all seem fixed) and some new stuff too. The ground handling and aileron drag in particular seem a lot better than before.

Thank you Just Flight for your continued support and updates!

@sonosusto said in v0.8.0 Altitude Hold Issue:

Similar for me as well

Do you have State Saving enabled? If so, try disabling it and restart the sim.
I've read multiple times that people had issues with the AP that got resolved by simply disabling the state saving. My guess is that exiting the aircraft at a certain state results in some state being saved that is restored in a way that the AP then doesn't work properly.

I would have to agree that it is more unstable after the SU5 and even after the hotfix released shortly after.
Several planes, payware/freeware mods etc are having issues.
Thankfully JF is aware of these.
For now, I will just fly the modded C208 for now until all these are resolved.
;(

@RetiredMan93231 Thank you very much! I'll look into the manuals further.

same problem, different guy, I think.
