    I have noticed when I accidently left the Arrow running at low RPM, idle, and left the mixture full rich while I went away for 15+ minutes. Came back expecting a rough running engine or not running at all. It sounded fine, checked the tablet and found no issues under the "warnings" box. Engine ran with no issues.
    I also have landed after a long flight, let it sit with the engine off while I went to take a break, vapor lock does not seem to be a thing either.

    I have the X-Plane 11 version of this plane as well, and it was easy to foul plugs or have to deal with vapor lock which I am no strange of in my experiences flying in real life. These effects or failures seem to be completely absent. I cannot get it to occur even if I purposely cause a situation which would cause these issues.

    Has anyone else noticed this?
    It is updated, I have the check box ticked as well.

        So i did some more testing, and spark plug fouling is there.

        I left the engine on idle with full rich mixture for ~20 minutes at airport with elevation 3000ft and that's when the spark plugs fouling came up. Seems a bit too long but i am not a pilot. They also get can be cleared pretty fast, running on 2000rpm with lean mixture for around 20 seconds does the job.
