    I am having major issues with the Arrow AP. I don't want its altitude hold feature active, I want to control the trim myself. I don't know if it's my logitech AP unit or what but the plane never seems to want to stop holding altitude. Because there is no switch just a clickspot, I can't tell whether altitude hold is supposed to be on or off, and my bindings for altitude and heading hold seem to do nothing in this plane. I'd like an option in the ipad to disable the clickspot and all the altitude features of the Arrows so they NEVER take control of trim, and the AP works as it would in real life, please. And ideally I'd like the "Heading Hold On" and "Heading Hold Off" bindings to work so I can use my switches instead of the mouse.

    I think it might be my logitech AP unit interfering, so I will test with it unplugged, but it seems pot luck whether I can get the AP in the Arrow to release control of trim.

    @Mark Thanks for your reply. From that I gleaned that the AP disconnect is not a feature so thinking that perhaps there was something on my end I did a few test flights.

    During a flight I unplugged my yoke and throttle quadrant and that seemed to cure the AP disconnect. After reconnecting the AP disconnected again after a while.
    When running VKB Joytester I noticed that once in a while my yoke is sending a sudden spike which might be interpreted as a violent control movement. That probably causes the AP to disconnect. When I do that deliberately it does so.
    The issue seems to have been solved when I changed the reactivity of both axes of the yoke from 100 to 98, and then back to 100. I never touched this setting before so perhaps the original value did not filter these spikes at all. If 100 does not work I might lower it a bit but sofar it seems to have solved the issue.

    @jaspar11 I have just tested this and I am seeing the tail plan position indicator move between +5 and -3 by triggering the elevator trim assignments, so that sounds like there may be some other controller conflict that may be preventing the trim from working correctly for you.

    If you could kindly contact Just Flight support via the following link, they will be able to run through some troubleshooting steps with you to get you up and running: https://www.justflight.com/support

    Is it normal for the trim wheel numbers to change up and down constantly in AP mode. I have an axis devoted to elevator trim, so I am not sure how the trim wheel interacts with the autopilot.

    @TrailerSwift89 These codes are three-character IATA aircraft type codes as opposed to the four-character ICAO aircraft type codes that you have referenced. FS Traffic uses IATA codes as that is what is used in the databases.

    I have a problem using RadNav devices on the concorde. Sadly somehow i'm not able to use the OBS knob. The CRS needle just stays on the North position no matter the entered course. Tried all methods: Using the VOR/LOC REF Knob on the A/P Panel, Using the OBS on the bottom right on the HSI and also tried to input CRS via FMC. I only get the derivation but with the needle always pointing North.
    You Cant even really use it like a CDI.

    BTW the needle turns just fine in INS Mode.

    @Black-Square One other note - I really would like to congratulate you on a fantastic product. After doing a lot of glass cockpit flying (G1000, G3000), I decided to search out what the best steam gauge piston single w/ retract, and although I used to fly the Arrow in real life, your Bonanza is just superior. So while I'm cheating a bit w/ the GTN750, you make it so easy to switch configurations for when I want to go all the way back to how I flew in the late '80s and '90s in the PA28.

    Wonderful job, I will eventually bring in your Baron as well.
