    Without realistic AP - i find Garmin GPS useless.
    But old fashion VOR without DME, navigation is too difficult in IFR.
    So please throw in DME, or add a simple AP on the panel. Keep the EFB open is an immersion killer.

    On every flight I got prop inop fail maintenance message. How can I break a fixed pitch propeller (similar to Wright Flyer prop) ? I also get several undercarriage/tire damage. but this maybe caused by turning hard off runway.

    The DST data display on the SL30 will show your distance, speed and time to a tuned Navaid. Information on the DST data display mode is found on page 34 of our PA-38 Tomahawk Operations Manual: https://downloads.justflight.com/products/JFF003602/PA-38_Tomahawk_MSFS_Operations_Manual.pdf

    As far as we are aware, no real-world Tomahawks were ever fitted with an autopilot, so there are no plans on our side to implement an autopilot on the main instrument panel. The pseudo autopilot controls on the EFB were provided as a quality-of-life feature to make up for the Tomahawk's lack of an autopilot, and each mode can be triggered via the standard MSFS autopilot control assignments.

    A deeper explanation of how the wear and tear logic is simulated in our PA-38 Tomahawk can be found via the following FAQ: https://support.justflight.com/en/support/solutions/articles/17000140447-wear-and-tear-logic-explained

    Hope that helps.

    Thanks for reply.
    Yes - I did RTFM, sorry I missed it.
    OK - no AP on real P38. I will figure out the DME, watching youtube tutorial, a lot of stuff hidden the nav radio.
    Nice with EFB AP when going for a beer, and later drain it.
