    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.

    @RetiredMan93231 said in Refueling and moving the aircraft on the ground: The small Pushback Tug is not currently configured as an available ground service for this aircraft... 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.

    @BernieV If you want to see how it feels when density altitude equals runway length, try this exercise; Airport 2b2 (Plum Island, Mass.) Set weather to clear sky, temp 30C, 0 wind. Set aircraft weight to 2450 lbs. Line up just short of the runway 28 markings (disregard the big yellow X, the runway is not closed, its a MSFS database error). Runway length is 2205 ft. Density altitude is 2270 ft. From the takeoff performance chart on page 4 of the ODM; Select 25 degrees of flaps. Lift off at 56 knots and accelerate to 59 knots. Gear up as soon as possible for this one

    @iltarix said in Please put the Arrow III on in-game marketplace.: So now I need JF updater running You don't. You'll get an email notification that there's an update, you go to the website, download and double click the installer and it's done. Easy as that. I don't like the software approach of orbx and co either, but for the JF Arrow, the process is pretty straight forward. Also you have the benefit that most files can be edited, making modding easy and saved a lot of headache for issues that were fixed by the community in mods or temporary changes before they got integrated in an addon. In case of the marketplace, all the content is encrypted. While that might be ok for scenery, I really appreciate being able to mod my aircraft addons. It's up to everyone to decide, just highlighting the process in this case so you can base your decision upon facts rather than assumptions.

    @C525B said in POH Power Setting Table Errors: Manifold Pressure greater than standard ISA Its more accurate to say you can't achieve some of the MP/RPM combinations listed in the table on a standard day. However, on a colder than standard day, you can. I live in New Hampshire in the US and we get a very wide range of weather. In the winter, I fly in weather as cold as -15F (-23.3C) or as hot as 95F (35C) in the summer. In the winter I can generate 75% power at higher altitudes and as such achieve higher TAS in colder weather. That's the purpose of the foot note to correct the MP required based on temperature.

    @Martyn I've made a video that shows what "VR Ready" actually means which you can find here. So my question is this: After having viewed my video, does this aircraft (the Just Flight PA-28R Arrow III) conform to the definition of VR shown in that video? And what about the newly released Turbo Arrow, does that also conform to that definition? Thanks in advance, and I apologize for reviving an oldish thread, but it's still relevant to would be Arrow III owners, and is even more relevant given the recent release of the Turbo Arrow.
