PA31 CHIEFTAIN 350 FSX | P3D

Hello, i love the Autopilot in the Chieftain because it is the only one (in my hole fleet) that can hold the Alt and i am still able to control the Airplane with the Yoke. It is fantastic for me as a nonpilot to enjoy the flight and don't pay attention to the altitude. My question is: It seams, that the Saratoga also uses the same Autopilot-System. Why is it impossible in the Saratoga to control the Airplane to left and right, when the Autopilot ALT-Hold is on? Is there an ini-entry to change the behavior? Regards Raller

Hello All, I am looking into buying the Chieftain 350. But before I do, I wondering if someone can give some insite on how the airplane is in terms of frame rates? Cheers, Jason

Is there a way to get from the outer tanks to the inner tanks without killing the engine passing through the middle position? You have to be lightning fast and accurate with the mouse and still the engine starts to choke before I get there. Is there a shortcut I'm missing? Thanks...

Hi there, anyone knows how to turn on the beacon light? I only can get it to work in combination with the strobes. Sometimes when i switch from another aircraft to the chieftain only the beacon light is lit. any help is appreciated. best regards, Edwin

This is the bad shaking that I am referring to. This happens despite the engines being off.This shaking remains the entire time the aircraft is on the ground and is very nauseating. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H11TdQUiRsE I sent a support request to Alabeo and they claim that this is not a result of their code, despite this shaking only being present in their product. Since they refuse to remove the shaking effect from their product or offer an option to disable it, I requested a refund. Alabeo has now ceased communicating with me. Buyer beware, if you purchase this product you could be stuck with this shaking like I am and Alabeo will refuse to pro…

I am wondering why this aircraft has such a hard time holding the localizer? Its not like I am flying an approach in 18 KTS crosswinds yet in constantly comes in and out of the localizer. it does a better job on the Enroute GPS portion than a LOC track.

I noticed that the chieftain gets right at it's limits with throttle and fuel leaning at around 18,000 feet AGL. I'm pretty sure this bird can get to higher altitudes, but throttles are maxed and any additional leaning causes the engines to cut out completely. Has anyone else noticed this?

Could someone speak to the PA31-350 fuel system? The Carenado PA31 does not correctly model AUX tanks. What is the situation with the Chieftain?

Is there a cockpit switch reference for the Chieftain?

Just completed a flight from Oakland (KOAK) to Red Bluff MUN (KRBL). didn't enter a flight into the GTN750, just used vor to vor on the autopilot NAV until 50 miles out then did a direct-to KRBL, picked the RNAV 33 GPS LPV approach. decent/target alt 3500, All went well, Alt-Trim on the autopilot changed to ALT-Trim GS and GS indicator appeared on the strip. However when the GS hit the mark it didn't descend. Turned off Autopilot and did a manual landing. Not sure what I missed, should I have hit the Apr on the autopilot. Interesting to note the waypoint/dist/trk info from the GTN750 was passed onto the G600 ( of course not the flight path). The autopilot hit all th…

Hi I got this one because hey why not it all looks good except that they have modeled some engine shake effect that is about to give me epilepsy..... I appreciate the effort But until an optional patch is issued to make this an option and not built in Its gotta sit in hanger bay ... excuse me while I vomit ... I still feel all shaken up .
