Martyn, why would you want to have the
ability to disable the sound of the aux fuel pumps? Your company is
striving for realism; that sound should not be disabled! We don't need an option to shut it off. We have
way too many buttons to push as it is. I hope your company reconsiders.

V.1.04 is a great improvement and makes the beastie flyable - Thank you Minor problem - I can move the mag switches easily from OFF to RIGHT to LEFT to BOTH, but not to START. I can get to START if I take a run at it, by beginning at OFF and rapidly clicking four times .

Hi Patrick,
Thanks for the feedback. We have a team of over 20 beta testers but as with all software, customers will identify issues and make suggestions post-release and we will continue to work quickly to respond to all of that feedback.
Thanks Martyn |

Update v1.04 I have the same problems as mentioned above however, some problems have been mitigated by four updates. The following are issues that I've discovered that still need to be corrected: 1. The aux pumps sounds are reversed i.e., when you turn the aux pumps ON, the pump sound shuts OFF. When you turn the aux pump OFF, the pump sound comes ON. Update: no pump sound at all. 2. When I shut down the Duchess, using idle cut-off, the engines continue to run longer than normally. All my panels and throttle quadrants are Saitek (Logitech). All switches and quadrant work when I move them as seen on the display. All sensitivities are adjusted. 3. Attitude Indicator indicating, although technically correct, is confusing. This style of instrument, according to the NTSB, has caused accidents. It shows the plane turning one way and pointer turning the other way. 4. If I use the Duchess as a default aircraft, when I click it, I get three black screens (I have three monitors) and then P3D shuts down. This is a common problem with A2A aircraft and it has not been resolved. I was told not to use those as default aircraft. Your Duchess exhibits the same problem. 5. Once the autopilot is engaged I cannot disengage it. I must reset the flight. When it is working it seems to work correctly, but I don't have that type in the Duchess I fly. Update: the autopilot is not working at all. PP, multi-engine (Duchess) instrument rating. P.S. We are beta testers. I have the FSX version of the Duchess by Just Flight and it workers very well. The props do feather in flight and the engine does stop, albeit it takes longer than normal for this to occur. It's good practice to learn how to safely maintain control when an engine quits, which it did in real life—luckily my instructor was on board.

Have you contacted Just Flight Support on any of these issues? The PA-28 and Arrow have both performed incredibly well in independent reviews and both have had any post-release bugs dealt with. If you can't get them working it may be something we can help with, but there is unlikely to be any changes made to the aircraft this far after release that would 'fix' anything. |

Sad to see/read this post... Same anoying and frustrating problem I had with the PA28. Never got the Arrow to work properly, I thought (hoped!) this problem was fixed once and for all... (?) But apparently not... I gave up on the Arrow long ago, And My PA28 still collects dust and birddroppings in the hangar...
Such a waste... Pelle

Okay. I give in. How do you start this thing? Throttles lock at 15% during start, engine may, or may not, fire ONCE only. Sometimes, if you fight the 15% lock you may catch that engine. If you miss it, on all further attempts the mp fluxtuates but the RPM needle doesn't move. After 6 hours of trying to start this aircraft I have not yet got two engines to run at the same time. The fuel pumps can be heard running when switched off. The Under Volt Warning does not illuminate. Battery Recharge just shows "Low Voltage"
