PA-28R Turbo Arrow III/IV

@capt_nopants WOW! you've done a great job with upgrading your Turbo Arrow... sweet! Thanks for the details on the performance impacts of these upgrades. I totally agree that the problems with realistic mixture and turbocharger behavior in the sim are actually bugs in MSFS, which hopefully Asobo will see fit to fix some day soon, so that turbocharged aircraft can finally be flown correctly.

@sender46

Well I posted a ticket to JF and Mark said they'll be looking at it.

So if it is a bit twitchy and inconsistent hopefully it nay be improved.

But for now it's usable if, as you said, you treat it really carefully.

Hi @craig

I have followed the same procedure as always but I will check it again. I'm sure the mistake was mine.

Best regards

@martyn Hi Martyn, I tried to check my open ticket today and found it had been closed without notification.

As you are aware, the issue has not been resolved and closing the ticket without agreement from your customer, whilst the issue hadn’t been resolved is poor customer service to say the least.

I have therefore replied to Mark using my last received email from him asking for a full refund to be issued as per your previous message.

I had previously opted to hold out for the update promised following the SU6 update, but closing my open ticket without notice has prompted my refund request.

I will repurchase this aircraft only after confirmation that these issues have been completely addressed.

Thanks

John

When I want to fly the Arrows using old school navigating with VOR's and NDB's I'll use the G100 to provide me with information about windspeed and direction AND most importantly the tracking direction when flying with a crosswind.

There's other info there as well about ground speed, GPS location etc

@chase1399 Yes and no - its a sim thing yes - but since I'm paying for a package thats suppose to represent the AC better... well there are a ton of lighting mods out there on other birds that work... so I know it can be done here too and why I'm requesting it.

@ancrm114 have just started using spad.next will look at the switches i have a x56 hotas and have used just about every switch on it for the arrow
am really liking spad.next just the other day found how to map the autopilot using the lvars

@retiredman93231 Yes my PMDG 747 has one in P3d.

I have to disable auto rudder.... in tge settings. And the steering tiller is used for rollout until around 80 knots when it switches to rudder.

This is the problem... MSFS doesn't seem to know what it's doing with the rudder, and consequently it's causing a lot of confusion.

@vcapra1 Aha ... the one lever I haven't found !

Thanks very much.

Ok I have to moderate my enthousiasm...
This fix is better than nothing but I still belive there is something wrong with the Arrow IV.
I made some test and it appears that when flaps are set (not 0°), the nose plane goes constantly from rigth to left and vice versa... I have tested with no wind at all and the plane is uncontrollable. I've done the same fligth (same airport and weather parameters) with the DR400 and plane is stable :/
In the first versions of Arrow IV this strange behavior was not here.... something is definitelly wrong with the actual version.... really need a fix.

@mace_rb Hi, yes I can clearly hear it in that vid. Though directly in the game it is a little bit more prominent. I guess uploading vid to YT reduces the clarity of the sound a bit.

@ancrm114 To reset the time, go to Microsoft Flight Simulator\Cache\SimObjects\JF_PA28_TurboArrow_III (or IV) and open state.CFG, change the values to 0.

Thanks for this @ancrm114
While I am not much of a ‘modder’ or programmer, your post makes me hopeful that adding extra GPS options to the Arrows is a relatively simple thing for the JF team 😀

@vcapra1 Thankyou for taking out the time to help me .
