Did 8 flights since then with zero problems. 

In the same place and same conditions? 
This sim is weird. If I fly south of Salzburg, every time it’s a stutter fest. Doesn’t happen anywhere else, not even over Sydney.

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

This is something else. I have no FPS reduction whatsoever. In fact, when I fly FBW A320 it drops more fps than JF Arrow

Which is completely expected, the FBW has tons of custom code and systems behind the scene..

You guys are right, over the same area in Texas. Decatur airport,  76T,  back to 5 fps in the Mooney. So I guess I got bit my the Update from Hell. 

 

Now my next question is, if I change the profiles on the Arrow, do I have to change them again every time I use a different aircraft, or does the profile stay with the aircraft? I have FSUIPC, but I hate to have to set up everything again.

Can someone comment on the old-school Garmin? I learned to fly with a LORAN and I think it would be fun to use the old mapless Garmin. But there  are no instructions in the documentation. Does it really work? All features functioning? Can enter and follow a flight plan? 

Interesting looking little plane. 

Thanks

There seem to be pockets of places that this happens in around the world.

I am flying in a totally different area of the Midwest and now my airspeeds are OK....😉 130 Knots TAS

The II Morrow Lorans were easier to use then that GPS100.  The older Garmins were 'User Antagonistic' as opposed to 'User Friendly'.  😉  Probably a manual online somewhere though.

As a Commercial Member are you not supposed to put in your Signature just what your Commercial Membership involves - Company, Products, etc?

I have absolutely no idea. I started answering questions about the P3D release several years ago, shortly after 'commercial member' arrived underneath. I'm not a forum regular, don't really have time for that with real world work, family etc and only tend to come on here directly after releases to see if I can help out a bit with any problems. By all means complain to whoever put that there, get them to put something else there if you want but as I said, I really don't have the time sorry.

Flying the JF Arrow around Houston is a terrible experience for me. Very low FPS. I deleted everything and I am now waiting for the reinstall to complete. Which btw, is also very slow compared to what it used to be.

I discovered today that Texas is not a good place to fly, unless you want a slide show.

On the Honeycomb stuff, yeah you have to use the toggle binds for some of the stuff as mentioned.  I ended up setting the rocker switches up through Vjoy and Joystick Gremlin a few  weeks ago finally so I could use the switches without the 10 degree heading issue anyway so that makes it really easy to set both directions to a toggle as JG makes them only activate for a very brief period.  Supposedly this is finally going to be fixed in WU4 anyway.  Also for controller sensitivity I was poking around in the support section of their site and they do recommend the linear sensitivity  config. Optimal Controller Sensitivity Settings : The Spirit of Flight Simulation (justflight.com)

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

Can somebody confirm that?

 

I wonder if it's some kind of installer fix or something?  I just downloaded it but it told me 0.1.0 was already installed when I tried to run it.

That's exactly my impression.

I flew around Nagasaki last night, ~35-40fps which is about what I was getting with the stock Bonanza.  I think it's unlikely any performance issues are the Arrow's fault.
