New Release: Carenado Piper PA-34 Seneca V

No,

I do my check everytime inside sim and with outside view :wink:

Generally, on GA aircraft, all I set up on AP pre takeoff is the altitude and maybe runway heading. Then I stabilize the aircraft after cleanup via trim. Then enable AP and set climb, pitch, and lateral navigation. There are some YT videos out there for these, but generally, you don’t engage AP until you are stable and cleaned up.

Same to me but my solution is every time after lift off handle plane manually for a while in climb and after reach some safe altitude due outside conditions (enough handle about 15s.), I select AP. This is ok although it sets VS 0 for a while but after little time it starts climbing.

Yes that’s the issue, even when preselecting a VS, it will transit through a VS 0 for a brief moment. Only plane I own that does that. I reported it to Carenado years ago of course.

My questions are even regarding HOW to use the AP. A lot of times what happens if I set it to NAV, is it just goes at 0 degree heading. So if I try to set up a heading instead, it goes to 0. I’m doing something wrong. I don’t know what it is. Add to that I don’t know how to determine if it’s a bug or me. And that’s just one example.

Be that as it may, I’m sure there’s something I’m doing wrong. Essentially, I want to know all the details on how to use the unit eventual.

You must switch to “GPS” :wink:

I meant I switched the AP to Nav (as opposed to HDG or the other choices an AP can do). I did do that…

Then you have either not entered a GPS flight route or you are too far away from the route. In the second case you have to fly by HDG in the direction of the flight path and if GPS is activated and you are close enough to the flight path, the AP automatically switches over and flies along the entered route.

So what I’ve seen is the plane flies to the route, and then flies right past it, so there must be some sort of time limit, even though it’s still activated? I don’t want to continue this here, this is a support issue for me, and I need to do some study… But, thank you :slight_smile:

Alleluja! It took them some months but we got there eventually!

In VR is stunning now is also usable!

There is no time limit for receiving GPS data :wink:
Did you really press the “CDI” button so that the Garmin 530 or 750 switches to GPS reception?

Can you post a pic of the issue?

Is it only me,

that I hear some sounds of pedals, ground rolling more loud? Next interesting thing is that during load of flight I don’t hear that switch click as previously :slight_smile:

Next issue discovered with new version 1.5,

up light switch first left does click (sound) twice. Really so much wrong and bad things at same time again. No updated landing lights, no better intensity to illuminate place at front of aircraft…

I don’t know if this is related to actual Servers problems but this after click on Tool bar Icon for weight cfg:

Now after click, look at max available for Seneca (generally expected) and actual values, sim and Servers has looks like very big problem:

Hello everyone,

I am experiencing two problems with this aircraft, would like to know if anyone else is having these same issues. I’ve searched on this topic and couldn’t find satisfactory reports about it.

First one is when performing ground check, at the prop exercise stage @2300RPM, when propellers are returned to full forward position, RPM goes back to around 2150, not the initial 2300 RPM. This only happens around 2300 RPM, if the exercise is performed on 2500 or 2100, indications return to the original values.

Another issue is the “GS” indication on the HSI when approaching on RNAV. Even with the G530 indicating LPV mode, meaning a vertical guidance, I don’t get the glide slope indication on the HSI, this issue has been reported on this topic before but no significant resolutions were present, is that a recurring bug?

Anyway, thank you very much for your attention!

You didn’t say anything about how you were activating the prop lever. If you want help with anything, we need a lot more detail than what you gave, Xbox? PC? What controller are you using?, etc…

But, guessing based on what you said, what I’ve found is that for whatever reason, my CH Products Throttles when pushed to 100%, they say they are at 100%, but MSFS only pushes it to about 93%, and I have to use my mouse to push the throttle or prop lever or mixture level that little bit extra. So, it’s not likely a problem with the plane but Asobo’s in how they read the signal from controls.

Re Another issue is the “GS” indication on the HSI when approaching on RNAV
Yes, Carenado has done some work on the WT GNS530 compatibility in most recent update but there is a lot left to do for HSI and CDI. Not a bug really but rather an unfinished implementation. Both WT and PMS50 publish implementation documents explaining how HSI should interface GPS. Does anyone know of a support forum or other method that a Carenado team member actually looks at?

Zendesk is the oficial suport as far as I know
