PA-28R Turbo Arrow III/IV

Did this get more sensitive after Sim Update 5 or something? It makes sense to model weight imbalance, but I didn't notice it all before.

@biokerozen said in noob questions:

page 20 : what the Friction control lever is for ?

It keeps the throttle lever from inadvertently moving. Sometimes, when there is a lot of vibration in the airplane the throttle lever can slowly and subtly move from the intended position.

Different issue from the looks of it, for me just the screens stay black

Hi there... wanted to continue to paint the turbo version but the reg size and place is still different to the normal Arrow. So again, is it possible to get the same size and place for the Turbo version? Repaint sharing getting difficult between normal and turbo version with the current setup.

Cheers and Thanks
Thorsten

So sounds like I may have to turn it off and cycle the state switch for the ap and it should work?

It worked for me once the AP was in that state during the flight, not sure if it helps in case the issue appears with state saving right from the beginning, but give it a try. The symptoms seem to be the same and state saving would explain that.

Is there a way to report this as a bug to JF

Martyn is reading the forums, but to make sure the bug is logged, you should create a support ticket:

Maybe this is the answer:

Updated with 0.4 today and the GNS530 and 430 would not power up with the battery switch. Would not power on with PWR switch on GNS530. Uninstalled and reinstalled update 0.3 MSFS and both GNS530 and 430 powered up with BAT switch.

Thought I would mention it running the ill fated 1.18.14.0 MSFS update.

Thanks ...Mike

The barometric pressure setting on the altimeters should automatically switch between inHg and mB based on the 'units of measurement' that you've selected in the MSFS General > Misc settings.

@copper Correct, only an issue with the lock engaged

@SuperKaro2014 as I understand it the 650 is the small form factor version of the 750 https://sarasotaavionics.com/garmin-gtn-series-650-and-750

Just to update, the support guys got me up and running again. Managed to convince state saving to stop saving the state and they showed me how to add the payload options to the in-flight toolbar at the top so I could adjust levels from there instead of when selecting aircraft. Hopefully this bug gets fixed by assobo soon enough but for now we are ok at least. Thanks JF

@vcapra1 great finding!

Which is why pretty much every Turbo Arrow has had an aftermarket variable wasteagte fitted which is miles better on the engine and even increases the critical altitude 😎

Thanks for your help.
I defined my own set of keys in a dedicated KB profile, but even when I revert back to the DEFAULT KB profile the F keys you are referring to do not work as expected, only F5 and F8 work as intended (Full down/Up) but the One notch keys do nothing.
It is strange though that I don't see issue with other aircraft, I tried the
C152, the Bonanza and the Piper Cub (the Cub having a 'real' handle in stead of electrical activation like the C172 and the Bonanza), all these are working fine.
I ended up now assigning two PB's on my warthog throttle unit, one for flaps down and one for Up, this seems to work OK.
Still don't understand why the KB keys are not working correctly though.
