Hi all,
I'm unable to start with or without cold&dark.
In the FSX file menu you find the "reset" function and for several second the engine is active but
after a few seconds the engine shutdown. Power levers etc. are in the right postion and a crash is the result.
Any idea?
Regards Jovabra

Mine has being doing that intermittently.  Thought it was fixed but it still happens.  Hitting 'escape', ending flight then 'fly now' again seems to bring it back up running and it stays running.  In the addons menu along the top there is a function 'ready for takeoff' - it makes all the required settings including handbrake, flaps and engine should be running.  I get all but the engine running.

Hope it stays good for you.  I tried uninstall/new download/reinstall and it did work - momentarily.  What it's doing is opening then shutting down - switches off the batt/alternator/fuel pump, mixture, lowers the gear (weird) and last but not least moves the fuel selector from OFF to left tank.  I'm in conversation with SUPPORT.

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.

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

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.
