I have been caught several times loading an aircraft and not being able to start it. Checked the Fuel and Payload section and found empty tanks.

Lesson learnt. As in real life flying one of the first things to do is to check your fuel tanks.

I had a similar problem with SP2.1 of the aircraft not starting. I had no electrics. I uninstalled the aircraft again and then checked the SimObjects\Airplanes folder. I found that there was still a folder called JF_PA28R ArrowIII or something similar. Inside that folder was a Panel folder with a PanelSave folder in that.

I deleted the Arrow folder and reinstalled SP2.1 and all is fine.

Moral of story. When you use the Control Panel to remove an aircraft ALWAYS check that everything relating to the ArrowIII has been deleted from the SimObjects\Airplanes folder.

"There was a file missing don't know were it went to
in the panel section the JF_Pa28r.cfg went for a walk
I re downloaded it and all is fine"


Which file, please!! I'm having a heck of a time getting the Arrow started as well. Seems to get worse as time goes by...

Are you right clicking the fuel selector? From off, right click moves it on, then left click moves it back.

Hi all,
I also have a problem trying to start my Arrow. The problem is that the fuel selector is in the off position, it won't move!! No matter how many times I click on the fuel selectorsAngry. Is there any other way? BTW I am using FSX se version in windows 10.

Any help would be appreciated.

When I start fs, I load up the default flight that is shown on the main menu, hang glider thing. When its loaded I load the saved Archer flight from the drop down menu, and everything is where I left it without problems. Loading a flight from the main menu has got problems with te Arrow and TB10/20 for some reason.

Try doing it that way, works fine for me here no problems.

I have just got the same problems, tried everything to start it.
Anyway see that there is a patch on the way, so that's ok.

Will just have to wait until it's available to fly it Smile

Here is the current list of what will be included in the upcoming service pack:

  • Improvements to FDE
  • Flight1 GNS integration added
  • Interactive engine start checklist added
  • FSUIPC auto-saves trigger panel state save - fixed
  • Option to disable 2D panel selector arrow added to PA-28 menu
  • “GPS changed. Updating HSI source…” message keeps appearing – fixed
  • Battery voltage low/oil quantity low message will now appear onscreen to warn of potential failures
  • Changes to engine start logic
  • Changes to fuel selector logic
  • Flaps not moving with electrical power off – fixed
  • Battery discharge and oil usage now occur only when engine management is enabled

None of the issues that have been reported will be ignored but other fixes/changes might take a bit more time.
