JustFlight PA28R Arrow III, v0.3.0 Landing gear actions not recorded #68

Closed jctarvin closed 3 years ago

jctarvin commented 3 years ago

This has worked before on other aircraft, even the Arrow III. This time it did not record raising the gear. Made rest of flight not very realistic. Oops!

Nonetheless, I love the program!!

Yes I notice this issue with several 3rd party aircraft after their own recent update. I'm not sure what's going on yet. I believe if you try to export the recording into CSV and open it in Excel, you should see that the GearHandlePosition shows correct values (0 for up and 1 for down).

I feel like for some reason many 3rd aircraft change the way they handle gear event from SimConnect, but I'm not too sure. I'll look into this more this week.

Thank you, Nguyen!!

I'll try it with the Carenado Mooney tomorrow. Pretty sure that aircraft has worked just fine.

And, thank you for a wonderful addition to MSFS2020!

~Have you updated the Arrow to version 0.3.0?~ I just tested and it seems to work fine. I know that they fixed some issue regarding external input before so that maybe the cause.

Edit: oh I saw that you have written version 0.3.0 in title. So you are already in the latest version. If you are able to reproduce that issue again, would you please save the .flightrecorder file and put it here so I can give it a try on my PC?

jctarvin commented 3 years ago

Yes, I have v0.3.0 for the Arrow III.

However, I just noticed I'm running v0.8 of  Flight Recorder instead of v0.9. Will update and try again.

Thank you so much for your help!!

Oh the latest version of Flight Recorder is 0.11.1, so you might want to try that one instead.

jctarvin commented 3 years ago

I changed to Carenado Mooney and updated Flight Recorder to v0.11.1.0 and darned if I didn't have same landing gear issues. I posted that on github.

A few moments ago I made my same flight with current Arrow III v.0.3 and Flight Recorder v0.11.1.0 and it worked just fine. No issues.

Thanks!! (And thanks for your patience with me!!)

Nguyen,

Happy to report that Arrow III seems to be working fine with Flight Recorder v0.11.1.0

I just notice one scenario where you can find the gear not going up.

  1. Turn on State Saving
  2. Finish a flight with all electricity turned off (BAT and ALT) and go back to main menu
  3. Start a new flight on the runway (or reset the flight if it was started on runway). The aircraft is now with engine running but electricity off.
  4. Start a replay. The gear handles will move correctly, but gears won't go up due to lack of electricity.

Thanks for the info, Nguyen!

I'll close this for now. Please feel free to reopen if this happens in other scenarios.
