MSFS | JustFlight Piper PA28 Arrow III - FULL VFR Flight + AutoPilot and VOR Tutorial [+ Planning!)

[@PatriotUK78]

Finally got a tutorial using the g100. Awesome thanks

[@CaptainB76]

Excellent work yet again @britishavgeek. Great variety on the channel. The livery looks great as well. I’m looking forward to starting my VFR training in a PA28! Slightly nervous

[@BritishAvgeek]

Thanks - it was actually the very first livery I've painted myself (that and a Flybe CRJ!) The PA28 is a fantastic aircraft to learn to fly in - I absolutely loved it and hope one day to jump back into one again!

[@CaptainB76]

@@BritishAvgeek is it how you remember? I reckon some won’t have the Garmin or autopilot for example to cut down on cost. I reckon most training planes might be lucky to have wings

[@BritishAvgeek]

@@CaptainB76 absolutely! I only had the analogue Comms stack so the GPS stuff is new to me but most flying schools have a GPS unit - usually Skydemon installed as a retrofit 👍

Very comprehensive !! You know your way around this craft without doubt, I'll have to watch this vid several times as I'm a complete greenhorn lol, I down loaded it this morning at 6:00am and managed to get it started and taxied to Runway 24 at roughly 6:50 foggy conditions in Georgia (U.S.) and promptly crashed it due to my rudder settings and incompetence, second attempt was spooky but i managed to fly a circuit and land it crabbing Runway 6 10-15 knot wind from 360 in VR without a need for a change of undergarments.... For me that is .., i can only hope to get a handle on this craft ...the realism in Just flight is leaps and bounds beyond the stock MSFS 2020 Stable ...Liked and Subscribed, Looking forward to watching all your Videos for guidance Cheers !! as Y'all say ...TT

Thanks Tim! How're you getting on? Hopefully only the one replacement set of trousers were needed! 😅

I've just purchased the PA28 161 from Just Flight - thank you for this content :)

[@BritishAvgeek]

Awesome! How are you finding it so far? 🙂

[@harrybassett9433]

@@BritishAvgeek Excellent although I've only done a little pattern work so far. My friend owns one in real life and I'm going out flying with him soon so I thought I'd use this to familiarise myself with the instrumentation. I showed him the JustFlight version and he said it's a very good representation of the real aircraft.

@@harrybassett9433 amazing! I'd love to own my own!

@@BritishAvgeek it can fly only with the power of holy ghost in jesus name

[@coriscotupi]

Nice model. If I'd have any criticism so far it would be one detail in the exterior visual model: the elevator antiservo tab (that also works as a trim tab) is moving the wrong direction when trim is applied (when you trim UP, it visually moves as if it were being trimmed DOWN and vice versa). Not to forget, when a tab moves UP on the stabilator, it creates a down force on its trailing edge, (stab leading edge UP), therefore driving the stabilator to a more airplane nose DOWN direction. The catch here is that in the model it is moving in the right direction when responding to elevator inputs (antiservo function). It's only in trim that it's the other way around.

[@BritishAvgeek]

Nice spot!!

Great content on this channel - much appreciated (would appreciate it in 4k even more ;) )

[@BritishAvgeek]

Thanks! Glad you enjoy it! I tried 4K for a while but the file sizes to upload were MASSIVE and it was taken over 2hrs to upload some videos 😂

[@seanpinnell4806]

Great video! I just picked up this plane and this is a great starting tutorial.

[@emanuellentulus372]

Excellent video. Congrats

[@legodude5889]

That's a beautiful plane. That's the plane I want when I grow up. It's like 40k I think

[@BritishAvgeek]

Sure is! It's an amazing aircraft to learn to fly in too from experience years ago! Loved it so it's great to have it in MSFS for me to genuinely enjoy

[@Heisenburg2014]

Love the video. I’m currently doing my ppl at Denham aerodrome in a p28 warrior

[@BritishAvgeek]

Nice! Likewise though haven't flown for a while now as the price went up, and I'm pretty squeezed!

[@jayrermars8493]

Hi, have you had any issues manually tuning the coms radio to ATC frequencies? I'm finding the ATC give a frequency say for example 124.22 but I find that the com radio cant tune to that frequency after the decimal point as the number go up and down in different increments??

[@BritishAvgeek]

Sometimes it'll need one click left/right for it to tune in nicely 👍 some frequencies like 124.22 might actually be 124.225 for example

[@jayrermars8493]

@@BritishAvgeek Thanks for reply. I'll have another go tomorrow with it but I was finding ATC would say 118.27 but my radio would manually tune 118.25 then next number 118.30 so can't actually tune to the exact frequency ATC give? Very odd.

[@ThomasGrillo]

Enjoyed the flight. Recently got this Just Flight plane. Very cool, but also very challenging to fly. Thanks for the video. :)

[@malichos]

I quite enjoy your videos, so much variety in content and I’ve learned a lot. Besides skyvector what charts website/software were you looking at in the beginning for those sectionals?

[@BritishAvgeek]

The more locally specific charts are all from NATS and their AIP for UK aerodromes. If you want VRPs though you'll need to actually buy Pooleys sadly

[@malichos]

@@BritishAvgeek Hopefully navigraph adds VFR soon lol. Cheers and safe flying!

[@BritishAvgeek]

@@malichos that would be pretty cool wouldn't it!

[@ropalero]

Soory how did you put the flight plan from the skyvector to the airplan? you didn't show it :-)

[@BritishAvgeek]

I didn't - it was VFR so I made the route on a map, then followed it but also used VORs and NDBs to help navigate too to show those features :)

[@leonardolima388]

Just got the warrior 2 and can’t find any tutorials does this works with the warrior 2 or it’s much more different?

[@dukman8217]

Hey Leonardo. The autopilot would be a bit of a different interface, but the comms and navs would be the same. Have you downloaded the manual on Just Flight's website for the Warrior? They did a great job on it and it provides a lot of information.

[@leonardolima388]

@@dukman8217 yeah I just downloaded the manual, gonna give it a look. Thank you

[@dukman8217]

@@leonardolima388 Great! I'm trying to decide if I want to buy the Warrior or Arrow. Both seem to be very well detailed. As I trained in a Warrior it brings back memories, but it would be nice to have a little extra complexity. Have fun!

[@leonardolima388]

@@dukman8217 I wasn’t sure wich one to buy as well, but went for the warrior because it’s less complex as I’m still learning. Maybe when I get more used to it, if I can, I’ll get the arrow. 🤙😊

I'm using this video to learn to fly the FSX version lol

[@renefeijen5916]

Thanks for the tutorial flight, I just flew it llike you did to learn. I am confused on the altitude restrictions. The number under and above the line: am I supposed to fly between these altitudes, or am i denied to fly between these altitudes? And what am I supposed to do when different boundaries overlap? You also mentioned a VRP to use right after Denham departure but cannot find that on a map?

[@BritishAvgeek]

Hi! Yep the VRP I mentioned, is basically the town of St. Giles (there is a church but it can't be seen in MSFS) if that helps to fly it on the map. For the altitudes - if one says 3500 then a line above it, and 5000 above that then it says you must fly outside of that airspace zone - so you would for example fly at 2,500 or 3,000ft instead... and if you then fly to a zone with a lower airspace level of 3000 and you are at 3000, I would recommend descending to 2,500ft to stay clear :)

@@renefeijen5916 yes they're all paper charts which have to be paid for unless you can find them online via the airfield websites etc 👍

how did you get the plane to be stable. mine is all over the place with my controls and i dont know how i can even correct it or something. even climbing , i cant set the trim for climb

[@BritishAvgeek]

Sounds like you have an issue with keybinds and control sensitivity. Trim is something you do from "feel" as well

[@morid1n]

Could you do a full HSI tutorial? I have no idea how to use it. Nor the gauge to the far left of it…

[@Heisenburg2014]

At 4.55 you have in the corner a flight log with all the way points calculated with gs, May heading etc. what app/programme do you use for this? Thanks
