Just Flight Piper PA-28-161 Warrior II

Has the Marketplace version been updated yet or do we need to wait a little (showing as ‘up to date’ on my version)?

It won’t get m/p release until the weekly updates schedule comes around. It may not make it this Friday, maybe next? There is the new approval process so it should come through quickly. I purchased the warrior straight from JF, but the turbo arow i purchased from m/p so don’t have update yet for it.

Yes, we’ve submitted the PA28 updates to MS but the time required to process them will probably mean a release mid next week (on PC and Xbox).

Meh. The heading knob on my Saitek multi panel still doesn’t work in the Turbo Arrow. I was hoping this would be fixed. Otherwise, great update, especially the Warrior.

must have something to do with the arrows instruments (hsi/di) and where they get their data/info from. I am having a similar problem binding a button for setting the heading bug to the current direction in degrees (SET_HEADING_BUG to value of MAGNETIC COMPASS) it worked before the update last year (and still works in every other plane except the arrows) I can dial in a specific heading but cant sync the heading bug to current heading. It syncs for a second then jumps back to the pre-dialed heading… I have been trying hard to find out what to do and am currently fiddling around with the interior.xml but to no avail yet…

Me too with the heading bug. Spent hours trying to work this out yesterday on the Warrior and the Turbo Arrow. Am using TDS if it helps.

It works fine for me on the Warrior. I don’t use a 3rd party app either. It just works using the default logic.

Just tried out the updated Warrior and it handles wonderfully! Flying the pattern again in this was like hanging out with an old friend. Only thing I noticed was the nav/gps switch next to the GPS wouldn’t move. I’d guess it’s tricky to tie that into the various GPS options and how they all work.

Can you use FSUIPC to output the variables as you adjust the instrument?

not exactly sure what you mean. I have FSUIPC installed (non registered version) for PACX and FSRealistic and for MSFS LVAR bridge in spad.next I guess? Never really used FSUIPC just installed it and let it do its thing :laughing: However my next step would have been using dev mode to find out what variables are at work here…

I’ve just been comparing the flight model file changes from 0.3.5 to 0.3.6. Changes below:

I haven’t done this myself, but, as I understand it, you can use FSUIPC to watch all the variables as you fly, so you can figure out which ones to get use. I have no idea how, but something to research.

Here’s another suggestion (maybe you already knew it?)

Yes I noticed the GPS switch as well, but pressing the button on the GPS unit itself would put it into GPS mode.

Thanks - I did the reverse. Arrow from JF, Warrior from MP

thank you but unfortunately no it isnt. read my first comment again. im not looking for a key bind for heading knob. default works fine. im looking for a key bind to sync the heading button to my current direction. which i know the vaiables for, but they dont work in the arrow. The bug jumps back to what it was before. So some event in the arrows prevents it from accepting my input.

I use FSUIPC for this with a lua script:

ipc.writeUW(0x07CC, (ipc.readDBL(0x2B00) * 65536 / 360))

But I think you need the registered version for lua scripts to work.

As far as I understand, you put the lua script somewhere in the modules folder of fsuipc and can then assign it via fsuipc to a button/key? Not sure if this is worth the registratipn price but might dive into fsuipc sooner or later anyway…

exactly. It has to be named .lus and the name in front of the . must not be longer than I think 16 characters.

Then restart the sim or press “Reload all buttons” in the “Button & Switch Assignments”. When assigning to a button look for “Lua …” in the drop down. There you will find your lua script name.
