Update v0.5.0

jmarkows

The change log is not exhaustive and will continue to be added to like with all previous updates. It just gives you an idea of what is coming.

Ah, I thought Pending Release meant it was working its way through the process.

Thanks for the updates and the progress, looking forward to seeing the updates live.

@superkaro2014 Any PILOT2ATC flight plan cannot load into the Arrow TurboIII making the G530 completely useless, even when loading the G530 Mod, still it does not load the flight plan.
Does the current update include a fixing for this issue?
Thanks

@rgbalzaretti We haven't used PILOT2ATC so I'm not sure how it works but our PA28s use the default GNS units with no custom code/modifications to them, so we'd need more information on what prevents the flight plans from being used.

@rgbalzaretti Would love to be able to help, but I don't use Pilot2ATC.
All the GPS units in the Turbo Arrows work fine for me these days under 'normal' use,

Are you sure it is an Arrow issue? Does your setup work in other airplanes?

@superkaro2014 Thank you for your reply.
Yes, P2A connects to my other MSFS2020 planes, like the TBM930. Incidentally, there are plenty of tutorials of P2A in YouTube. They use the TBM930 along with other planes.
I found a way to make it work:

create a FP in P2A.
Save it (Export) to a location folder.
Run the Sim and choose the ARROWIII using
gate or parking, not runway.
Hit the spacebar to bring the load option.
type the name of the FP and add the
extension .PLN
The FP loads smoothly into the G530.
It works for me!

When you guys talk about the graphical glitch, on top of having the pilot avatar showing inside the cockpit, do you have flashing texture on the cockpit panels? For me, it flash white or purple.

I play in VR.

Thank you.

Any chance of reducing the shimmer around the PMS GTN 750 and radios ?

Only present with 750 enabled.

Probably down to size of gauge leaving a slight gap, that causes horrible aliasing that plagued FSX I seem to remember.

Thnx.

@gabe777 That kinda sounds like the pop in texture issue, I see it on the panels as well as the pilot popping in.

@jmarkows

The size of the GTN guage needs increasing slightly in the panel config file.

If there is a gap and a light against dark border/join.... you get shimmering.

If your AA is low you will too.

But I have max AA and resolution and it's the first time I've seen it since getting MSFS.

It's fine with all configs EXCEPT the 750.

Here's hoping they can fix it.

PA-28R TURBO ARROW III/IV MSFS - where I can find this update? I bought this addon via SimMarket and there is only v.0.4.0?

Thank You!
