PA-28R Turbo Arrow III/IV

any updates here? would love to have this logic properly modeled...like the workaround which isn't ideal:

"Intuitive" operation would be good.

@rfpilot Thank you! It worked just fine! Problem solved.

@grol Oh he does like to put in random and completely unrealistic geometry to 'compensate' for what he sees as failings. Personally, I'd rather the adjustments were made to the core flight model so that the accurate figures of the addon produce the correct response (as we'd expect / hope for - and may get with one of the innumerable sim updates). He seems happy to paper over the cracks in the base model which will not benefit the end user in the long term :winking_face:

@sender46 in the virtual cockpit? That’s funny! Don’t know if I ever saw that button. Can’t wait to go see. I only have over 250hours in the turbo Arrows! 🙄

Thanks for that @Sender46!

Hi,

I just found on this forum that this is already a known bug.
To change the co-pilot, yuo'll have to change pilot avatar, not the co-pilot.

Cheers,
Marc

@weptburrito Thanks for confirming that I had the wrong files. Today I see JF has completely removed the hot fix files from the community website, and released updated installation apps for the Arrows. Such confusion I suspect due to a well intentioned effort to fix things.

v0.5.3 can now be downloaded from your Just Flight account.

Thanks for the great feedback! We'll continue to tweak the aircraft based on any community feedback

Weird, I now find this worse than before.

@martyn Hi,
Thanks for the response. I also can try to go through the different CL to look for the different problematic items.

@nickd27 Thanks for the tip !
Will try this fix :)
I really like the Arrow's vintage avionics set.

@pepe_fr said in COM/NAV issues:

Another strange thing (was unable to replicate in flight, but on ground only, very strange) : COM radios are OFF when the NAV radios are OFF (ATC dialog is being "grayed").

That's unfortunately a limitation of the way MSFS simulates radios. We have separate power circuits and logic for the COM and NAV radios but, presumably because the default aircraft haven't required entirely separate COM and NAV radios, the two are somehow linked 'behind the scenes'. We've not yet been able to find a way around that.

Same for passengers...
That's possible as certain addons already do it (the ATSim P149D for example).

Thanks !!

Hmm...not seeing this at all, in any of the Arrows. Turbo Arrow v.5.1 according to the EFB.

@martyn Sorry, I figured it out and forgot I had posted this here.

I found out that it only happened when I had aircraft damage enabled in assistance (I normally have this disabled but the update reset it).

Yes, it's likely conflicting with the custom light switch logic in the PA28. If you haven't already done so, contact the support team via a ticket so they can investigate.

Support for the autopilot on/off assignments is being added in the next update.
