PA-28-161 Warrior II

Thank you so much for the information. The Warrior is what I got my PPL in and actually fly, so it gets my vote. In XP12 the Warrior won't make full RPM, the aerodynamics preclude many maneuvers including pattern work, and if there is any rain the Z shaped pattern almost totally obscures vision.

I picked up the Arrow IV on a sale mostly in case I ever decide to step up into our club T Tail. The Arrow at least is functional in XP12.

Exactly my question, was there ever an answer?

It's taken a while, but I've finally worked it out... It enables / disables the trim control on the yoke (which you have hidden in the photo).

The way to spot it is to go to the X-Plane General Settings dialog and enable the "Show clickable regions in the cockpit". Anything you can click has a green box drawn on it.

When the button you're asking about is "On" (in), the pitch trim control on the yoke shows manipulators on it; when its "Off" (out), the pitch trim control has no active manipulators displayed.

This really needs to be sent into support as a ticket; they'd be able to advise whether it's a known issue with a workaround or a bug that requires fixing on our side.

My question has been answered in the x-Plane forum. I just had to replace all "530" by "430" in the *.acf-File. That - for now - gave me the 430 pop out window and works good with the realsimgear. I still have to checkout the Reality-XP.

Must admit, I have problems starting the engines, I fully shut down the plane when I finish with it, but usually end up going back go flight config, customise plane and tick s the load with engines started option.
