Update for the best GA in the works?
-
@superkaro2014 Apologies, I missed your first post.
Yes, all of our PA28s will be receiving an update in the next week or two. That will include some flight model tweaks, compatibility with the latest versions of the Working Title GNS, PMS-50 GTN and TDS GTNXi, and other general fixes for any issues reported since the last round of updates.

Hi all. Apologies for the lack of update, we've had a few attempts at release for these PA28 updates but have been frustrated by ongoing compatibility issues with the latest WT GNS, which became much more widely used following AAU1. We are now working directly with the WT team to track down and fix the issue, and we'll then be able to release the Arrow III, Turbo Arrow III/IV and Warrior II updates.
The latest versions of the PMS-50 GTN and TDS GTNXi are supported now, and we've added the EFB functionality from our 146 (Navigraph/SimBrief support, moving map etc).

May I make a request ?
I find the Arrow very 'left turny' .... for want of a better expression.
I notice the autopilot applies a little right aileron to keep it straight... excellent touch ! Very realistic.
However... I am VERY lazy... OR I often use a HOTAS, so it becomes tiring... and I'm very old and frail.
Would it be possible... as you did with the "fake" 'altitude hold' ... activate an Aileron trim capability in the aircraft.cfg file.
This would allow users 'who wish to' ... to use the basic Aileron trim controls to keep it straight without relying on the AP.
Thanks.

@gabe777 until that is possible, you can adjust this with passengers and then do smaller adjustments by selecting which fueltank to draw fuel from.
I flew the Arrows by hand on a world trip with an X55 hotas and that worked well -

@gabe777 Same, you'd have to hold it or try some slight rudder trim

Agreed. When I put it on autopilot.... perfectly balanced weight wise, I can literally see the yoke a few degrees to the right.
We need an aileron trim.
Tried standard keystrokes but it's no go.

With the help of the Working Title team we have finally found a solution to the GNS compatibility issues that were holding up the release of our updates for the PA28s (Arrow III, Turbo Arrow III/IV and Warrior II). We're now finishing off some final bits of work on those with the aim of releasing them next week.
Thanks again for your patience with these updates.

@gabe777 Tbh i have never felt the need for a aileron trim in the Arrow. Just make sure your passengers and cargo are well distributed and if you fly solo just burn the left tank the first few minutes, won't take long before it flies straight. Just remember to swap over when the other wing starts to drop.

Thank you for the Good news. I really miss flying the Warrior and there have been no substitute.

@Justflight Team:
Are you also planning on updating the turbo behavior? In the current version one still has to lean the engine when climbing and keeping the manifold pressure constant. That’s not correct behavior. Any plans on updating this?
-
A quick message to say that we'll be finishing off release candidate testing over the weekend, ahead of a release of the PA28 Arrow III, Turbo Arrow III/IV and Warrior II updates next week.
The updates will also be sent to the MS Marketplace team for processing, both for PC and Xbox.

So no improvement on the turbo behavior?
