Wow, now I am getting 3 FPS. I think this plane is going into the hangar and staying there.  $45 lesson.

I think that’s a problem somewhere else then, rather than with this plane. This plane is the best performing plane I've tried yet.

Low airspeed, when I was climbing out and trim for 90 mph, climb rate was oscillating between 800 fpm and almost 2100 fpm without touching anything. Then the FPS went to hell and stayed there, which has never happened with me. I'm done.

Definitely not the Arrow, Bob. I'm not seeing any performance hit over the default planes with this.

Well when the only thing I change in a sim, is one item, and the sim goes crazy, my guess is that one item has issues. Going to do the same flight now with the Mooney and see what happens.

I'm seeing a very minimal performance hit but I have crashed to the desktop mid flight, it's a nice plane but I did experience a high drag issue in the cruise but it came good

[xender 459]

On my case i dont see any performance hit at all even on my modest 4790k  with an nvidia 1080 and 24gb of ram. Even during thunderstorms with full cloud cover and settings mostly in ultra (Not all, obviously)

I am really loving the Arrow so far.  One minor gripe I do have is that, with the throttle at idle, as soon as I release the parking brake the plane starts moving and just continues to pick up speed. To any of you with time in the real Arrow, is this normal?

Thanks.

it is not normal. It's a little too light to taxi.

Hmm, I would think its more likely to be effects from Sim Update 3 than the Arrow itself.

I really like it. The only 'issue' I can report is the aforementioned jitter that the airframe seems to have as a reaction to turbulence, even in minimal (3kt) wind. It strikes me as odd that a lot of people report that they find it very stable in flight, as I don't personally have that perception. Its not unstable, but it's definitely very lively.

Looks like there is somekind of update available. Just downloaded 0.1.0a

Can somebody confirm that?

Hopefully I didn't miss any of these points in the 19 pages of this thread I read through 🙂

Couple bugs I have found

- No stall characteristics, I can keep gliding this for hours without a wing stall

- None of the lights or BATT/AVIONICS work with the Honeycomb Alpha/Bravo switches

- Toe brakes are not simulated

- Audio is not simulated when you open the storm window or doors (being able to hear another aircraft near you for example when stationary)

 

Other than that, fantastic aircraft that I will be primarily be using for a while 🙂 8/10

I noticed this too. Toe brakes do work as they should, there is just no animation for them.

You had an sim update like 4 days ago...

[neucoas 82]

I am undecided if I should wait for the Turbo arrow of go for this one.

I am not going to get both. Not interested tbh.

What would the turbo arrow offer? Higher cruising altitudes, better takeoff performance? What about cruise speeds?

Did 8 flights since then with zero problems.
