Better flight model?

@martyn Thank you for these explanations and we keep our fingers crossed for further work on the amendments. As a community strongly involved in their development, we are available to not only criticize but also support our experience, often with real aviation and impressions of the simulator.

Hi all,
A quick update - work continues on the flight model updates following the final release of SU11 and we are aiming to send a new test build to our kind volunteers (https://community.justflight.com/topic/3924/flight-model-updates/1) and testing team this week. If that goes well then we can proceed with releasing those.
Thanks again for your patience,

@martyn Great news. I just bought this aircraft at the MSFS Marketplace, based on great reviews, and was a little let down by the flight model deteriorating after some sim updates. I am glad to see you are actively working to fix this.
Will the update be available within MSFS, or will I need to visit here and download it? Thanks.

It's been a journey regarding this topic, but with v0.3.6 just around the corner, I am really excited to get back into the JF PA28s! Big thanks to Paul and the rest of the JF team for moving this towards resolution.
Had I been paying attention to the forums I'd have jumped at the chance to test, but seems we're days away from release. Fingers crossed!

After some further tweaking I'm happy to report that the PA28 updates are now being processed for release, with release currently planned for Monday. The final change log can be found here:

Hey guys,
I'm no expert, nor a real life pilot, but has anyone looked at this recently to see if something needs adjusting/tweaking again? I went to fly today, and winds were 300 at 12G28kts. Even just taxing around, as soon as I started any forward movement there was some severe weathervaning and required a LOT of rudder input to correct, and on takeoff (runway 34), once I hit about 40 knots or so IAS, again with the severe weathervaning and it just careens into the wind.
This is on a fresh install of everything, from Windows to the sim to the plane. I checked and all assists are off.

@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?
