Yes maybe, but shouldn't that also be disconnected by turning off autopilot?

I don't know, but I never shut off AP without disabling altitude hold first, because I do that to descend for final approach.

You're probably right, Alt-Hold is an added option and nothing that is original on this aircraft, so it may be the one that can cause weird problems, I've binding Alt-Hold to a button on my throttle now so I can turn it on - off easy.

Now I only hoping that Asobo comes with a quick fix so I can fly this wonderful aircraft with great tree lod distance and without the performance problems they added with the latest patch.

Something is way wrong with the autopilot here.  Not even turning it on, just clicking the altitude hold clickspot results in the hard bank behavior. 

Whenever I turn on the altitude hold it goes into a steep nose dive.  If I try to pull out of it it loses speed and stalls till I crash.  Very strange

Is anyone else having trouble with ADF?  Trying to tune the Shoreham ndb (332) and the ADF indicator is not picking it up.

I hope they will fix the not working on/off knob of the GNS 430/530. This is quite important on an aircraft that has no avionics master switch. And the knob works fine on all GNS equipped default aircraft.

Is altimeter set correctly?

I'm having ADF problems as well but ADF seems scarily wonky in every MSFS aircraft so i can't tell if there's something specifically wrong with the Arrow.

How far away from adf station are you?

I've seen problems at less than 10NM from beacon flying at 6000Ft.

That should be no problem then.

Yep but I've seen very similar problems with other MSFS aircraft so I'm not going to blame the Arrow at this point.

Did you engage the Autopilot before you turn on Alt-Hold? I have no problems if I do that.

Yeah it finally registered for me at about 9NM away...not sure what was going on.

This is really frustrating, I am trying to love this plane but I can't seem to be able trim her. Maybe I am missing something but the trim wheel seizes up when I taxi  and when I takeoff I still cannot turn the wheel either manually or with the trim buttons assigned on my Alpha Yoke. I must say that trimming using the yoke has worked, but lately, including today, NO. Is there a lock on the trim wheel that I do not know about, or am I just not following proper protocol here. The AP Heading Mode seems a little wonky on my end as well. Maybe I am just a bad sim pilot😉

really ? I had no issue trimming it.
