@Bobcat. Duplicate your Profile in the UI dropwdown. Rename and modify it. Done. 2 Minutes.

Excellent - Thanks!

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. 

Happened to me too. I thought it was because I had just finished doing a flight that was perfect.

My channel vid for the Carenado vs Just Flight PA-28 Arrow Showdown:

 

Excellent video Chock. Most enjoyable. And good to see that you didn’t feel obliged to berate the Carenado. I’ve owned a couple of their products in the past and found them to be excellent. I shall be sure to check out more of your stuff 🙂

I had to create a new HOTAS profile for this bird as my previous stock Cessna sensitivities were making this bird not reactive enough. Excessive force had to be applied on yoke and now, with default 0% reactivities and deadzones it feels way more responsive and enjoyable.

 

There is a new setting for each plane where you can control the authority of the control surfaces. That's what I used to increase the aileron and rudder deflection instead of creating a new profile. Works perfect

@Nyxx  NZ has been a favourite of mine for a long time.  Some good addons too!  Try to remember where you are still having some slight issues in NZ, and I will avoid the areas next time.

If I can find some trouble free areas to fly, I may still buy the JF Arrow today.

Hi Bob, apart from a very small stutter on first flight, second flight was perfect. It feels I have my sim back.

I just did this flight and hand flown it all the way the airport to land at I could not see at first it has trees all the way down one side. What a flight, one of the best Ive ever done for looking and thinking wow!

Live weather but time changed. The JL PA-28R is slow but very engaging and it feels like an A2A. You know its not a toy. I had some points so it only cost £25 some airports cost that. For me around 50 mile flights are about the sweet point.

This shot below is why I love the sim so much, the view the weather, man I love it. And now a great low and slow GA. Thank you JF.

Wow! Thanks Nyxx! I will have a look at that region for sure. Downloading the Arrow now. Likewise, found I had £4 in points. All good! 👍

Great Tip, thanks. 

last one.

Now that I got my airspeeds normal ( I think engine needed breaking in), and I found out the 5FPS was courtesy of the MSFS update, rather than the aircraft, I really love flying  the Arrow 3. The autopilot works great, and it  flies and sounds great. Couple of times I forgot to remove chocks and tiedowns, but got that figured out after a couple of attempts at starting a taxi. Great aircraft.

Yes it is weird, you cant change any mode without first turn off the one that are in use, ex if you have HDG engaged and press NAV it will not turn off HDG automatic, and weird things will happen.

I am not seeing this problem, and i use it on every flight switching from heading to Omni or Nav.

If I have HDG engaged and turn off Autopilot my HDG button is still engaged and when I make a turn the aircraft will dive and try to kill me, I must first turn off HDG or any other engaged modes before I turn off Autopilot to be safe, just turning off Autopilot does not seem to turn off everything connected to it.

I turn off AP on every approach, from Omni usually, and do not have any problem. The AP just disconnects. Do you have altitude enabled when you do this?

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

Great to hear and glad you didn't give up on it.
