    @retiredman93231 I thought of the possibility of the other complex bindings possibly contributing to this behavior. So as I mentioned in my last reply yesterday this behavior persists with the Bravo and all but one other simple controller with a single two position switch powered down. I will have to check that circuit breaker though. Wouldn't it be nice if it was just that simple!! Getting back to the Arrow after installing SU7 I had another idea of what might keeping the gear lever in the cockpit from moving in response to the GEAR UP command variable. It was because I was parked on the ground! It was that simple! On all my other RG aircraft the gear lever in the cockpit would move up and down in response to GEAR UP and GEAR DOWN commands even while sitting on the ground, and that became my lazy man test to see that the switch assignments were correct without taking the time to taxi and actually takeoff. That does not work with Arrows! Once off the ground the cockpit gear lever goes up and the gear retracts in response GEAR UP command as expected. However I do not believe this behavior is truly realistic. I do not recall anything preventing the gear handle in the RL Arrow from being raised to the gear up position while on the ground. It is the squat switch is that prevents gear retraction on the ground in that aircraft, not the gear handle itself. I have read that some aircraft may actually have a mechanical linkage preventing the gear handle from being raised into the gear up position. But not the Arrow.

    Further tweaks are coming very soon - https://community.justflight.com/topic/1806/update-change-logs-v0-10-0-released-edited-18-11-21/1 Hopefully the SDK will give us more options for reflections soon.

    @gabe777 The Turbo was an upgrade for Arrow users and there was a bundle. No backwards discount unfortunately.

    @cgnoorloos I second that. The III is my most flown plane by a long shot. I now fly entirely in VR and would like to think if I ever found myself in a PA28, I would know where everything is. I fly almost entirely by hand and never put on the Altitude hold as that is not part of the original plane.

    @martyn in the change log I see the issue mentioned but only exterior parts shown at the end of the flight. For me it happens as soon as I see my friend with the same plane in the sim. See https://community.justflight.com/topic/2915/multiplayer-issue Will this be fixed as well? And when can we expect the update in the msfs marketplace? Thanks.

    Seems to be the same as this issue: https://community.justflight.com/topic/2799/pilots-head-and-glasses-pop-into-view-randomly-after-msfs-1-20-6-0-update/9 Didn’t see that one earlier.

    The morse code idents are also difficult to hear in some of the default aircraft... so, this is more of a problem in MSFS than a specific aircraft bug.

    We've not been able to reproduce this. If possible, could you provide a recording?

    We haven't been able to reproduce the issue with the parking brake handle so please get in touch with our support team via a ticket if you are still encountering that so we can investigate further. Please refer to the change log thread for info on other upcoming fixes - https://community.justflight.com/topic/1806/update-change-logs-v0-9-0-released-edited-09-11-21

    Unfortunately I have no experience of using FSUIPC offsets but the PA28 uses SimConnect to intercept various control events like flaps and the fuel selector and then process them using our custom code, so there might be an issue there. However nothing has changed in our code since SU6 so it'd be worth speaking to the developer of FSUIPC.

    I've never used that function myself (didn't even know it existed), but there is a complaint about the same issue on Avsim. I suggest you file a zendesk request.

    Found it - Apparently the profile for the stick set a double assignment to the twisting axis, one for the rudder, one for the NWS that just increases or decreases the value without auto-centring. Thanks for the help!

    I've sometimes had this when I inadvertently activated pushback.

    @gabe777 said in Take off roll issue: @derek Don't know if you're being sarcy but it also puts people off buying stuff too. This "hidden" support system is not very popular. Really? On the contrary, I think Just Flight's Support Ticket system works well and it only takes a few minutes. The support they provide is one of the reasons I buy their products. What BernieV suggested works nicely for me.

    @anderson The ticket was resolved with the understanding that the issue has been passed to the dev team to investigate and that "A fix will likely be included in the next update to the Arrow III (for MSFS)", without an ETA. That's good enough for me.

    @harry_w Nope, the only mod I have that only affects the Arrow is a replacement for the prop animation. I use the "standard" Working Title Garmin upgrades, a UI modification (just changing the style and size of aircraft nameplates), a couple of realism mods for default aircraft (DA40-NGX, DA62X, JPL 152, HPG A5, WT CRJ), a handful of purchased aircraft, and the rest is scenery. Nothing fancy. No idea what's going on, and so far the performance issues have not returned, in spite of adding more and more add-ons with every MFS restart. Fortunately, I recently discovered the "MSFS Addons Linker", which makes enabling/disabling add-ons rather painless.
