The A2A Simulations Community

Scott,

That's awesome that you were able to capture that kind of real world data. It definitely shows. My real world experience matched the simulation pretty much perfectly. I think that's what made it so easy to diagnose.

I wasn't. Redline is 2700.

I was at 6,000ft and 75% power. Per the POH, 75% power at 6,000ft is 2580 RPM and leaned to 8.9 GPH. I was at 2600 RPM and 9.1 GPH if I remember correctly. That's about as close to the POH setting as I'm likely to get with the engine gauges I've got.

Yesterday I experienced carb ice in real life for the first time. It was a complete non-event. I was cruising in IMC and rain, and I noticed that my RPMs had dropped from 2600 to 2500. I immediately suspected carb ice and applied heat. RPMs dropped a bit more as expected, and after a minute they rec...

Hi, sorry I didn't notice the question. I played with this a bit on a recent flight. My experience mirrors Hook's pretty closely. I started to notice the inbalance at 6 gallons, and it was annoying at 8-9 gallons. This was IMC though, so I would have been more aware of the corrections required. I mi...

I've got it working!

For some reason, it works when I write 1 or 0 to "L:Eng1_StarterSwitch", but not boolean true or false.

I'm trying to integrate a hardware radio panel with the Cherokee, and am having issues with the avionics master. When I control the avionics master via the TOGGLE_AVIONICS_MASTER event, the avionics come up, but the autopilot also turns on. Also, the image of the avionics switch in the cockpit does ...

Yes, that's exactly what I'm experiencing. Normally it's not a problem, but if the engine fails to start I have to pull out the mouse, during which time the battery is draining since it's running the starter. Next thing you know I'm pulling up the maintenance hanger to recharge the battery. Very fru...

My '73 Cherokee 180 POH is similarly silly. It calls for rotate at 60MPH. I choose to interpret that as, "start applying some pressure at 60, and expect actual rotation at 70." I think it's rather interesting that the POH for the '78 Archer II I trained in set rotation at 60 KNOTS, which i...

Don't mind me, I'm just over here doing a happy dance. Can't wait to try this fix out.

Thanks!

I'm building my own ignition switch, and I'm struggling with the starter. I can get the starter to engage by sending the MAGNETO1_START event. However, I can not make the starter turn off. I've tried the following variables and events: MAGNETO1_START MAGNETO_SET L:Eng1_StarterSwitch Does anyone know...

I fly a '73 Cherokee 180 IRL, which is nearly identical to this model except for a longer fuselage and stabilator. I find little to no difference in performance during landing other than the lack of control feel. I completely agree that the A2A Cherokee is too sensitive to right/left imbalance. I st...

Thanks for posting your ini file! I copied the 430 portion of it, but still no luck. What did produce results was making the following change to my panel.cfg under [Vcockpit00]: //gauge14=A2A_PA28!GPS_MINDSTAR_430, 1, 1, 1, 1 gauge14=A2A_PA28!GPS_RXP_430, 1, 1, 1, 1 After I made that switch I get CD...

Still no resolution on this.

Are you back in a situation where you can share your panel.cfg?

Thanks for the help! It's all working now :) One thing to note. The Nav 2 id switch is controlled by "L:Nav2PullIdent", not "L:Nav2Ident". Also, is there any way to control the volume for com 2 separately from com 1? In the real world I like to turn Com 2 up just enough that I ca...

Do you have this setup working? If so, could you post your panel.cfg? I'm somewhat suspicious of mine, especially since it contains this line:
[Vcockpit00]
...
gauge14=A2A_PA28!GPS_MINDSTAR_430, 1, 1, 1, 1

That seems obviously wrong, but I'm not sure what should go there.
