@DangerZoneDmo said in Excessive leaning does not damage the engines?: @bocian I honestly have no idea what a ferry pilot would do in terms of leaning, but I assume that they'd likely run quite lean of peak, in addition to using ferry tanks. There is a point of diminishing returns where, if you lose too much speed over a long distance, it will actually cost you more fuel as the time it takes is much longer. I'm gonna look into it, as I'm interested now. I'm sure there are math people out there that can calculate that all out, but I'm not one of them. I've spent quite some time with the math in the sim. There, it's a pretty obvious correlation: Lean as much as possible for maximum range: [image: 1822b6db-4191-4e0a-9745-cb9acd274143.png] Also, if you want a great video on leaning in general, check out this one by Martin Pauly: Lean of peak engine operation Thanks for that link, this video helped my understanding a ton and basically answers my initial question: The damage model works correct, heavy leaning does no harm to the engine. Will look deeper into the simulated spread of the cylinders though, maybe there's still something to nitpick if one of them runs in the "red zone" when lean of peak.

Have you made a ticket with Just Flight Support? While I specialize in my own aircraft, they have seen many aircraft, and often have step-by-step instructions for troubleshooting addon compatibility issues.

@SadBucket that's the process to clear vapour lock iirc. Close throttle and mixture, run the pumps to cool down the lines.

Here's some info on changing the panels from the Baron: https://community.justflight.com/topic/9472/swap-panels-on-liveries/12

Thanks, it was active and I have now turned it off.

+1 I had the same impulse when I spotted the first bugs on that shiny new airframe.

If any lost soul find this post and has the same problem, here my solution to this: Instruction 1.Go to %LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Packages\Community\justflight-aircraft-pa28-turboarrow\SimObjects\Airplanes\JF_PA28_TurboArrow_III 2. Find the flight_model.cfg 3. Make a backup copy - just in case 4. Open the flight_model.cfg and modify it like in the attached picture. [image: f5d35ed8-07f5-468f-bb7e-4012194b98c1.png] 5. Save the file and restart MSFS 2020 Why I did this As described I felt the trim tab was way to dominant and the elevator to weak - making slow flight without trimming not possible, but I guess you should also be able to do slow flight without trimming just by adjustment to the elevator (trim is a secondary control surface to me and should just assist). What this change does This basically swaps the effect on lift between the trim tab an the elevator, giving the elevator the lifting force it should have while lowering down the effect of trim to really just have an assisting (trimming) effect. Disclaimer This change comes without warrenty from me or endorsement by the devs, its just my observation that I want to share with others for the sake that it might help somebody. Any changes you do are at your own risk.

If you're doing the Greek islands then it should be warm enough that the engines start well. You can even see the fuel and oil move in the right tab on the tablet, very cool.

Thanks. Good idea. I'll change the bindings. I was able to use the ignition panel this morning but I had to hold it in the start position and use the mouse to keep it from springing back.

So I guess I need to find out how to do that.

Hi Micstatic, thank for the info. I did not know you could download other liveries for the RJ. I’m very new to PC converter from the Xbox. I do love the cityjet livery but older and new aer lingus livery looked amazing on the RJ

Thanks Mark. Roger

Some results from experimenting at KSMO... The FMC won't allow you to have a single waypoint flight plan. It requires at least two waypoints. You cannot repeat the same waypoint twice in a row, but you can have a waypoint twice in a flight plan as long as there's a different waypoint in between. i.e. KSMO - SMO - KSMO. Starting the flight plan from a non-airport waypoint is permissible. i.e. SMO-KSMO or DARTS-KSMO. The second allowed me to load the RNAV 21 approach from DARTS iaf without duplicating the DARTS waypoint. Probably the better option if you know in advance which approach you want to load. However... The DIRECT page will allow you to select a close by airport even with an empty flight plan. Selecting KSMO from the DIRECT page generates a flight plan ----/KSMO, which then does allow you to load any approach without needing a "junk" starting waypoint. This might actually be my preferred way of doing it now.

Got it.. Thanks.

You need LVAR:OVHD_ELEC_ExtAC - it's a 3 position rocker switch and I have it set to increase by 1 and then rolling back over to 0 after 2. The three positions are 0,1,2

Mark, thanks for your help in this matter, reinstalling seemed to work and now i can atleast see the liveries in the main menu so hopefully this has corrected whatever went wrong. not sure what as i dont really touch any files as no idea what im doing lol but thanks again
