    When I bought the Arrow in 2021, I received the e-mail with the order details and it included a discount code to buy the Turbo-Arrow which, two months later I bought at a discount of about 60%. I see that this time it is not going to be the case and I have to rethink looking at other products. Thanks anyway.

    Yes, they often look better on the live screen than on screenshots. And I'm amazed at what you can pack into 320x240 and it still looks decent

    @Randolf Thanks I'll try again. Actually I do have Space bar + 1 or 2 setting mixture/condition to high idle and Shift + 1 or 2 setting them to cutoff. So I should remove any such references in msfs controls. ? The tricky part is that I had 4 buttons available : one is used for start up, turning on a few things and cutting off throttle/condition in preparation for hitting the starter. ( condition didn't respond to this) Another is for shutdown. A third activates the inertial separators and the fourth deactivates inertial separators. But during actual startup the condition levers need to go to high idle at specific points ( rpm) in the start process. It may be the path of least resistance to just use my keyboard bindings for condition.

    @Marcel - I can see why an expert mode would be nice if it included both the “hide engine condition” and “don’t fix engine while airborne” things. But if it is just for disabling the “fix engine” option, we sort of already have that option: it’s called “self control” (hehe). With self control we can just choose to not click that button in the air, and without self-control it would only add a step to turn off expert mode and then click the engine fix button.

    If I would see the foreign models I'm more willing to buy them too if I like them

    @Black-Square said in Outages, procedures, causes: there is a clickspot at the bottom of the throttle quadrant to hide the throttles, just for this reason. Ahh - what a nice little detail. Trying to read oil-temp/press, especially for the right engine (which potentially runs hotter from AC) is a bit of a nightmare on the turbine. Maybe I just overlooked it, but searching around the manual i didn't see this QoL feature mentioned.

    The pitch on AP works extremely well and when used with the VSR function on the TDS GTN750XI allows absolute precision for altitude requirements

    Absolutely wonderful! Thank you so much for sharing your progression. As you may have seen me say elsewhere, I had hoped the tablet would be a learning too, first and foremost. Hearing that I succeeded really makes my day

    My third flight in my Grand Duke and I get that. Aircraft veered off course on autopilot. FD was indicating a turn which did not match the course. The VSI began to wobble some which got worse over time. No fuses were blown. The only thing I could figure out to do (apart from reset it in the tablet) was to turn off AP, fly by hand using the right side VSI, set up for the ILS so I had a good long straight final and fly visually once I got the airport in sight.

    It's amazing how some of these things can escape me for the hours I spend looking at them... Those are supposed to be two different numbers for the piston version and turbine version, and the bottom number is supposed to be the maximum demonstrated crosswind component. Fixed now. Thanks for pointing it out.

    I've heard this about a few of the clickspots in my aircraft. I've never exerted any control over the cursor icons before, and have no idea how to do so, but I will look into it and see if there is something I can do.

    I have noticed this as well. I think the prop spinners are possibly actually not animated when the engine is running, and that may be why this is. With that being said, if the icing on the spinners was symmetrical, similar to the picture below, this would not be noticeable [image: 6ghqnv94vgp91.jpg]

    I just spent about an hour looking into this, because I can't let something like this go either once I've seen it. I thought it was something with the font, but the font widths appear to be perfect. It's not the bearing, and it's not the kernings, and every single point on every single glyph is at the correct horizontal location to the integer... I'll try to keep this short by telling you where I stopped for the night... I stopped when I realized that setting different font sizes would change whether the numbers moved to the left or right... I'll see if I can find someone who knows fonts better than I do to look at this, but in the meantime, I hope you don't mind that this is not particularly high on the priority list. I assure you that it will hurt me deep inside every time I see it now, though.
