Flaps behaviour in Turbo Arrow: Aerosoft purchase

[alehead]

I saw the other thread here on flaps behaviour, but I experienced this last night as well doing circuits. I cannot imagine that this is the intended behaviour...

I bought the aircraft two days ago in the sale over at Aerosoft. Is it possible that Aerosoft doesn't have the up-to-date release? I cannot see which version it is that Aerosoft sold me, as there is no version number any where. The files are mostly dated 10 February 2019, however...

Aerosoft list it as version 1.6

The flaps behaviour is quite violent and the elevator displacement required is a quite excessive. Is this really the case with the real aircraft? Full trim up will not trim out the nose down pitch at flaps settings...

There is an update to the aircraft over on the x-plane.org site linked in the support pages:

If for some reason you also experience this, you need to unzip that file into

JF_PA28_Turbo_Arrow\plugins\SASL3_Tbient\data\modules\Custom Module\ANIM_EXTR\T_Tail

This will stop the aggressive nose down pitching on flap deployment that is noticeable under certain circumstances, which are best explained by Dan Klaue of Thranda Design here: https://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/forums/topic/171747-pa-28-turbo-arrow-trim/&tab=comments#comment-1596760

The Turbo Arrow IV (T-Tail) is now much more manageable and certainly does not require the trim I was having to dial in before. She now lands like I am sure she should...
