    After starting the flight with only Pilot and Copilot on board, the center of gravity is completely out of limits. There is no way to make it better. The empty CG position slider does not work. With these settings it is hard to start the plane, even when almost empty like shown.

    What to do now? I've read that it might be possible to change one .cfg file to have the CG-slider working but can't find, which setting to change.

    Please have another update fixing this issue.

    @ape42 This is the Arrow III (not Turbo) with v0.10.6 installed? The CG is within limits for me with two pilots, full fuel and baggage:

    And with half fuel and no baggage the CG moves further forward, within limits:

    Yes, this is the non-turbo Arror III v 0.10.6 with activated state saving. As you see from the screenshot, the fuel is at 56% and only pilot and copilot seatet. For me, the CG is at back limit and I can't change it to better, only to much worse. When adding people in the back row or some bagge, the CG gets much more worse.

    Now I

    • uninstalled the Arrow III using the windows settings
    • manually removed the folder justflight-aircraft-pa28-arrow-iii from c:\Users\xxx\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator\packages
    • installed the Arrow III again
    • started a flight with the Arrow III, livery HB-PJA

    The result after starting the MSFS and a flight from EDWJ (with Aerosoft addon):

    I don't use the MSFS AddonsLinker, the Arrow III is installed directly into the Community folder. The Community folder is moved to a non-default location by changing the path inside the file UserCfg.opt, the recommended way to change the addons path.

    Next I changed to the livery G-BGKU. Same CG as before:

    PA-28 Arrow III CG-04.jpg

    Then I changed the weight for the back row and the passengers. But no change in indication of CG:

    After closing and opening the weight settings again, the old values re-appeared:

    That is quite strange and in my opinion broken.

    Please have a look and provide a fix for this behavior.
