[2024] PA-28 Warrior II Rolls with Chocks and Tie-downs Deployed
-
Here's a strange one: I spawned in for a flight at KEB Nanwalek, and watched my plane roll down the sloped ramp with chocks and tie-downs still on it. I restarted the flight a couple times, it did it every time.
-
Yes, but I think I found the problem, thanks to Axis and Ohs.
When I spawn into a flight at a parking spot, as I am for this one, Axis and Ohs doesn't load the aircraft profile, it loads a profile for "Avatar" -- and as indicated by someone on the MSFS forum, as soon as I enter the plane using shift-C, it stops rolling - presumably because at this point it loads the aircraft profile with the parking brake set.
I did set a binding in the MSFS control settings as well and made sure the brake was set, but I suspect MSFS doesn't load the native profile until you enter the plane either, because it didn't help. So it looks like it's an issue particular to walk-around mode.

I do see the same effects but shouldn't it roll at all if the chocks are on even the parking brake isn't set? At least in old version you couldn't start rolling if you forgot to remove the chocks! (not on the 0.4.1 version yet, will try this evening)
-
Just double checked. If not setting the parking brake but putting chocks and tie-downs on, the Warrior starts to roll as soon as you go inot the Avitar view w/ the shift-C keys. This shouldn't be possible, right? In the normal pilots view the ülane doesn't move w/ chocks.
