PA-28R Turbo Arrow III/IV

We don't have a timeline to share at the moment at there are a lot of moving pieces to the puzzle that could effect a release date, but the PA28s are the aircraft we will soon be spending most of our development time with.

Unfortunately, it's possible to access the aircraft.cfgs in product purchased from the in-game marketplace version.

It may be worth trying the AIRPORT VEHICLE DENSITY setting if you haven't already, but I suspect the settings in the aircraft.cfg may overrule that setting for the player aircraft.

@Mark Alright. No problem. Looking forward to the 2024 improvements.

Thank you for the feedback. I have added this to our internal feature request tracker as something to consider adding in a future update.

@Mark Awesome! Thank you! ❤️

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but where could I find the XL version ? Cheers.

Thank you for the request. We have logged this on our internal feature request tracker for the development team to consider for a future update.

I would say it would be unlikely for us to "replace" a GPS with another GPS, as we don't want to remove features from a product if we can help it. If we were to add another GPS unit it would likely be in the form of an additional GPS option on the EFB. There are no firm plans to do this at the moment, but we will consider this when working on a future update to the PA28s.

Thanks for your reply. I just bought Active Sky today which I had used in FSX and P3D, and was looking for an excuse to buy for MSFS. Using it today so far, suggests turbulence/wind unpredictability is significantly toned down from MSFS's own weather with realistic turbulance. I had Active Sky set to realistic. The PA28 Turbo dealt with what turbulance there was with Active Sky the same as the other small aircraft I tried it with.

Another suggestion, from discussion this morning:

Are you using the LEGACY or LOCK cockpit interaction system (Options > General Options > Accessibility > User Interface > Cockpit Interaction System)?

If you are using LOCK, can you please try LEGACY?

Cheers,

I accomplished this by purchasing the FIPs MP, RPM and engine gauges from FSX Times. Using SPAD.neXt (a FIPS subscription is required), I detached the gauges to a separate screen so that I can see the gauges.

I bought this screen from Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C746JHJJ?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

@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.
