PA-28R Turbo Arrow III/IV

@frulx241 said in Erroneous Fuel Flow Behavior:

@Delta558 Thank you for your explanation! I already thought so.

@RetiredMan93231 As I wrote, I didn’t want to sound unfriendly or rude. If that was the case with my post then I am sincerely sorry!

The Turbo Arrows are both absolutely great aircrafts and together with the NA my absolute favorites. I am aware of the limitations and that these are a big impediment for the development of a „perfect“ aircraft. I just wondered why I get a FF so much higher than the values should be and especially since this was not the case with the NA Arrow. For now I am assured that this issue is known by JF and will be tweaked in future releases.

I am also really hoping for that! The fixed wastegate seems a less necessary fix in my opinion, when compared to such erroneous FF readings and mixture behavior. If you don't lean aggressively when passing, say 6000, the plane engine cripples horribly.

Thanks for the Just Flight team in looking and noticing this.

Here is what i did.
1/ First of all i have identified the location of the community directory which is in my case : C:\Users\chris\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Packages\Community

2/ I have copied the two packages PMS50 on this directory

pms50-gtn750-base pms50-gtn750-premium

3/ It was my problem, i have switched from the tablet the option to activate the GNT 750 and then it appeared.

Regards.

@Cristi-Neagu said in Turbo Arrow IV - snap roll to the right:

Interesting... Try it the other way around. Engage the autopilot and then press the heading button. I have a hunch...

Turning the autopilot ON first, then turning on HEADING mode, after the heading bug has been set to the desired heading, seems to work well for me all of the time...

some

Lots of high flying turbo Pistons dont have pressureization. Hell. The sr22 turbo can get up to 25,000 and no pressure, and it does well at the flight levels. You need an actual mask above 18,000 though, lots of people can't get away with just nasal canulas above 18.

Piper isn't really a high flyer because while turbo it doesn't have a lot of power.

I agree that the excessive weather-vaning during take off occurred after SU3 and has not been resolved ever since. I have it on the default aircrafts as well.
For me rudder assistance selection is a work around for the issue. I still use my pedals to keep the centerline as before (not touching the yoke) but now I can takeoff smoothly as before SU3 even with crosswinds of 15 kts. Hopefully I will be resolved soon.

Hmm, honestly I turn the yokes off so that might be my issue. However, the arrow only has one static system. Barring a nearly impossible failure of the mechanics inside the altimeter the most likely cause of failure will be the static lines/ports which will fail all of the altimeters in the aircraft. A backup doesn't really do you any good unless you have a completely redundant static system.

@Tal-A Thanks for your advice.

Still not working after update. No mods, nothing in community folder. No errors. I have an open ticket, so hopefully we'll get it working soon. Just thought I'd follow-up on this thread.

@Travman said in Turbo Arrow Three completely nonfunctional after install:

Im getting the exact same thing. Mine is installed to D drive and I suspect its due to the long filename issue.

If I renamed the folder to a single letter then I get the EFB working with the Security Failure Message and the GPS loads, but the yoke is still fully deflected to the left and the instruments (horizon etc) are not working. I think some of the file names are still too long.

Thanks for the information. Please also contact the support team if you haven't already done so.

It does, but only just slightly. During run-up, when cycling the prop for example, a drop in 500rpm would yield about an 1” rise in manifold. For lower rpm reductions of a couple hundred rpms at a time, you may see perhaps a 1/2” rise and for rpm adjustments of 100 or less, MP needle movement is even noticeable. @ual763

I only mention it as 41 MP was right at the point I noticed FF dropping. Later I saw 41 in the engine.cfg and was like oh whats that?!?! lol

Also forgot part of the the chart

What happens if you try it in other (default) aircraft?

If you're using the mod, try it without the mod as well

@Cedric-Hunter

No discounts across platforms but there was a similar discount between the Arrow and Turbo in X-Plane.

All the Primer button does is momentarily activate the fuel pump on HIGH, as long as you hold the button down. Just turn on the fuel pump with your previously assigned Honeycomb switch...

@RetiredMan93231 you are right. With the latest version I can assign Set Electric fuel Pump 1 to a button on my Honeycomb but as you say you can´t select high and low. I would be musch better with a toggle function so every button press advances to the next state, then jumps back to the initial one. It can´t be impossible to work out.
