PA-28R Turbo Arrow III/IV

Thank you it was the Oxygen level at 0 Must have turned it on during of flight some time in tautly forgot about it

@Derek said in Trouble installing the Turbo Arrow: @Bert-Pieke You said that shortening to 10 characters didn't work this time, so what did? Sorry, my 11 char password worked in the past, but not this time. JF Support suggested I shorten it.. and after that, it worked.

@TacoT Thanks for the explanation. This is from the FAQ: Honeycomb Alpha & Bravo Users If you are using either the Alpha and or Bravo you will need to do one of 2 things for the GNS430/530 to work: 1) Make sure that the AVIONICS BUS 1 switch is set to ON 2) Remove the switch command in the setting for SET AVIONICS MASTER 1 IMPORTANT: If using BOTH together then the command is automatically assigned to switch number 17 of the Alpha and switch number 47 of the Bravo. I had assumed this extends to the 750. Funny thing though. When I turn off Avionics Bus 1, e.g. after landing, the 750 reboots and comes back on.

I hope that the developers take a look at this.

This should be fixed in the next update.

I've added the required code for this but unfortunately the SimConnect method used for this doesn't appear to be working in MSFS at the moment. We'll keep trying as further MSFS updates are released.

This issue will be addressed in the next update.

@Tailspin88 If you trim to hold the altitude and then add power to increase speed, you will see that you start to climb. Next you will have to trim down again and before you know you are adjusting trim and power all the time. The proper way is: trim for speed, adjust power for climb/descent.

I was today years old too when I finally realized there was an auto tank selector on the ipad. It was also driving me crazy lol.

Hey, if this problem is regarding the same question you asked at: https://community.justflight.com/topic/2362/ap-doesnt-pick-up-data-from-nav2 The HSI is only coupled with NAV1, you see NAV2 from the VOR NAV2 source. But with the Hotfix it should intercept the course from the NAV2 VOR as long as you switch the source to NAV2

@weptburrito Oh thank you so much! Now I feel stupid.

Do I feel stupid now Thanks

@ElKebek Glad you're enjoying it and that's a great video. Happy flying!!

Ok some update. I was flying the Arrow IV yesterday and initially everything was fine. Suddenly the animations on the plane froze. The prop animation didn’t “spin” anymore and the strobes stopped flashing the plane continued to move over the ground normally though. No stuttering or anything else that looked like it was sim related. More like it was only related to the arrow IV. When the animations started again 10-20 seconds later the autopilot spun out of control. Hard bank and nose over. I then disengaged the autopilot and reset my heading and altitude. After re-engaging the autopilot everything was fine again. Does that help in finding the issue?

@Delta558 Okay, I think I found something. I noticed that the ignition switch, after start, upon returning to BOTH, that's when the engine died. I tried the maintenance button for the engine, problem gone. I didn't realize that there must have been some engine damage from previous flights...good to know! Lee

@majorswitcher okay, here is just my opinion. I have flown the version in both X-Plane and Microsoft. I've also been very lucky to fly the airplane in the real world. Yes, X-Plane does have a more accurate flight model. Microsoft has the scenery and the eye candy like no other and, they are improving the flight model all the time. I spent many years flying X-Plane, developing sceneries and really enjoying it. But honestly I haven't flown it for quite a while since I feel Microsoft has done a great job on the flight model side. It comes down to personal choice.

@Martyn And in the Arrow III too please

@Martyn I am doing a flight right now with the turboarrow folder from the hotfix file pasted in the package folder (before I launched MSFS) (replacing 2 files, the .WASM in /panel) but switching the coupler switch to NAV2 still does not couple the HSI/ autopilot to my NAV2.. When switched to NAV2, turning the HSI direction knob also rotates the compass card of NAV1 CDI Could I be doing something wrong?

@Sting I have not had this issue since the update, and I was curious if it was “officially” fixed. Thanks @weptburrito . With the update though, the throttle lever has changed and now, for me, only about 60% of throttle advance gets me to overboost so you need to be careful how you apply throttle now.
