PA-28 Warrior II

Each of the GPS units that are selectable on the EFB has its own autopilot logic that tries to overwrite our autopilot logic, so unfortunately, I think this is just a quirk of the Working Title GNS430/530.

One way you can tell if this is the case is if you select the "NO GPS" option on the EFB, and then see if you see different behaviour. With "NO GPS" selected, the autopilot is using our logic and all the modes will act as we intended them to. With any of the other GPSs selected, the autopilot is using logic from the GPS.

With regards to the flight model, we do have some updated flight models in development to improve the crosswind behaviour. Once we are happy with the updated flight models, will be releasing updates to all the PA28s.

The comments have been deleted so I can't be sure what the criticism was but I have seen others complain that the stall characteristics of the warrior are too docile. I don't know where these people are getting their expectations from (clearly not from actually flying one IRL) but I have found that after watching a video of someone performing a "falling leaf" stall IRL they get a better understand of how the aircraft actually stalls and realise that the still in the sim is actually pretty accurate!

I would suggest this LewDix video. He's an aviation YouTuber and CFI in Florida with lots of videos in PA28s and C172s.

Never mind. Got it sorted.

I'm not clued up on the regulations myself, but our reference photos for the PA28s were taken in 2016/2017, so that may have been before any 8.33KHz regulations were put in place.

THANK YOU

I had actually given up and never installed the Warrior.
I am on Windows 11 and your second solution fixed it for me!
I downloaded the installer again and still had the issue.

Wow - I might even pick up the 146 now!

Thank you very much.

If I remember an old post from someone at JF correctly, the plane they used to model the Warrior has that sticker, and the transponder Mode C doesn't work.

In the sim, it works, even though it's tagged as broken.

If you could kindly contact Just Flight support via the following link, we will be able to take a look into this for you:

That's definitely not what I'm seeing, I'm seeing sharp yawing into the wind suddenly at around 40knots and have to play a very touchy dance on the rudder pedals.

It's given me some food for thought though.

Thanks.

@NickD27 said in Better flight model?:

In 28 knot gusts I would absolutely expect the plane to be basically uncontrollable on the ground and to weathervane significantly when airborne

I had the same issue today. Reported winds were 280 at 16 while taking off from runway 34. Once I hit 40-50kts indicated, just careened left into the wind and off the runway.

That's a crosswind of only 10 knots.

The airport doesn't have its own weather station but is about 8 miles from two larger ones that do. The one had the reported winds, the other was reporting 270 at 11G22.

That shouldn't be too much, right?

I am having all sorts of problem with the AP. Only HDB mode works and that only works when you first turn on the AP. None of the buttons in the cockpit appear to work.

and opened a support ticket

or indeed Just Flight them selves may be able to help.

We can really only provide support via the Support system. See: https://community.justflight.com/topic/2/product-support

What happened to the support ticket? Did you not receive a reply? If you had no reply, please advise the ticket number and we will investigate.

@jplewis02 We don't typically supply an LVAR list with our products as the list can be found in several locations within the sim so we would just be copying that fairly extensive list. Plus it could change fairly regularly so it would be a list that we would have to constantly update.

There are a few ways you can find an LVAR list in the sim, but the way I personally recommend is:

Load a flight in the Warrior II.

Go to MSFS Options > General Options > Developers and enable Developer Mode.

Move your mouse to the top of the screen and on the menu bar go to Tools > Behaviours.

With the Behaviours menu open, if hover your mouse over any control in the cockpit and then press CRTL+G on your keyboard, that will automatically populate the search fields with the LVAR for that control.

If you copy that LVAR, then go to Tools > Behaviours > LocalVariables, and search for that LVAR, it will give you the value of the control in its current position.

Hope that helps. If you get stuck looking for a specific control feel free to reach out and we can help out.

Thanks, Mark.

Well, it is what it is...

Can I ask one quick question?

I lost my Custom Camera settings in this process. Is there any way of preserving those. It's an irritation rather tha a problem, but it would be nice to avoid the issue.
