Purchased the Arrow last night and it was ready to fly and flew. This morning it again opened ready to fly but only for a few seconds - loses engine and battery followed by a beeping sound. "ready to fly" selected in the 'addons menu' and it does open again ready to fly if you reload the flight but quits as before. I've tried clicking the battery recharge and that does get the starter going but only for a few tries - engine fires then dies. Something I'm missing? In real life it would appear to be fuel starvation but the pump's on and shows a bit of flow prior to start, tank's selected and mixture lean. One thing - after my flight last night I exited FSX by simply hitting 'escape' then X'ng out of the flight load page.

I had a similar issue. I didn't think to check the addons menu. I used fsuipc and made it so the battery couldn't get discharged. The beeping issue is in another post in this forum.

My problem seems to be keeping it running after start. Clicking the 'battery recharge' feature gets me several starts but the engine quits right away - just like pulling the mixture to 'idle cut off' or fuel starvation but I 'refilled' the tanks, tank selector on the left, pump on and moving to rich as it fires.
Update - another flight. Made sure FSUIPC came up in the addons so I was running when FSX opened. Stayed running - constant beeping after gear retraction but cured that by cycling the gear a couple of times and we seem to be good for now.

I have a similar problem.
The simulation opens with the aircraft running. I hear a number of clicks and the prop stops and all electricals turn off. Add-ons > Just Flight PA-28R Arrow III shows: Panel State *Cold and Dark *Ready for Takeoff I cannot toggle either choice. Other selections in this menu are selectable. Thanks |

Like a lot of people I too was experiencing power shutdown just after starting FSX:SE with Piper Arrow III but then I found if Engine Management is toggled off problem is solved.
