    @BernieV Thanks, I will continue to try I've noticed that if I release back pressure the instant I contact the ground, it reduces or removes the bounce, but that usually ends up slamming the nose wheel into the ground. I suppose there is a balance somewhere between the two that I need to find
  • Problem with the throttle

    @davidcrum sounds like you have multiple options assigned to the throttle, what you are describing usually occurs when there are two inputs conflicting, one is set at full and it resets the one you are using when that becomes stationary for any length of time. It could be either a conflict in the MSFS controller setup, or between that and FSUIPC if you have that installed. I know it sounds basic, but I have done it myself by mistake and it's as easy to do as it is frustrating!

    @Martyn Thank you for making the Red light persistent! It's those little touches that are really nice. I love the Red light. Wish that was an option on more planes. For a night flight I usually set the Dome at setting 3 and turn off the brighter instrument lights. It gives the whole interior a nice red glow and very easy on the eyes.

    Hi, So I just tried again after installing 0.7.0, which reset the aircraft.cfg, and it's the same behavior. I set both the pilot and copilot to Pilot 2 and I see the guy in the sweater. So I exited the program, swapped the Pilot and Copilot attach nodes, and re-entered, and still the same. It's a very minor gripe, but one I'd really like to figure out. Thanks!

    Real life Arrows have relatively high pitch control forces. You learn early on to use trim to control all but very minor pitch changes unless of course you're trying to make up for missing a session at the gym. I tend to use a little more up trim on final approach then required for the airspeed I'm trying to maintain. This requires a a little forward pressure on the yoke. When it's time to flare for landing, I just relax the forward pressure and pitch to maintain the right sight picture between the nose and the end of the runway. That usually results in a very smooth Landing. Whether or not you agree with this approach, the JF Arrow behaves very close to the real deal in the situation.

Pushback can be done manually by pressing [SHIFT] + [P]. ... in fact it doesn't work ... but Martyn's previous answer said yes .. ok now all explained. Thank you

    @Martyn I see a fix for the prop rpm drop issue is on the list for v0.7.0, that´s amazing! TY! [image: 96bcbf7f-0868-4523-9d74-eaf8b960c406.png] Just for your information, the Turbo has the same issue but there´s no fix for it in the list of v0.2.0 though.

    @Martyn Thanks, I appreciate the effort, sorry to hear the sim is giving you a hard time. Is it advised to file a bug report at ZenDesk, concerning the ADF volume?

    Yes, I found that, and I also re-read the manual. It does say it will connect to the KX 170B or to the 530 or 750 if installed. The 2nd VOR is a KX 175B, so by inference it won't connect. But thank you for responding. I guess I either need to choose the DI or fiddle a bit more with the VORs if I always want the HSI to show course. There is a toggle switch beside VOR2 that says NAV/GPS, maybe I'll tinker with that and see if it works, with the AP in heading mode.

    I haven't seen anything yet regarding blur effect. it must be very subtle indeed. can anyone post a picture of such blur effect? it may help us understand what to look for exactly. @Martyn can you help us?

    @Martyn said in Logitech Switch panel with the Arrow: The SET commands should be supported following our update but we'll get the ON/OFF commands added. Hello Martyn, Any news on this support? I just bought a switch panel and it works fine with any default Asobo aircraft but with the Arrow, it's completely messed up. Turning on one switch turns off another one, so unusable for me. Cheers, Sylvain

    @charlie130 said in Arrow GTN 750: A2A standards While I believe that the Arrow is still quite some way from achieving many "A2A standards", it does meet them when it comes to the GTN. A2A aircraft offer exactly the same functionality as the Arrow: if you own a 3rd-party GTN750 add-on, you can select it as an alternative to the default radio stack. My personal recommendation: the Arrow is as far as I'm aware the best plane to spend your time with while you're waiting for the Comanche to be released.
