Has this airplane always been for sale in the marketplace. It's very inexpensive, but is it any good. Perhaps with FSRealistic? Or just be patient and wait for the A2A version and not be disappointed?

This airplane is brand new... and makes me feel like being in the A2A plane from P3D..

That's the issue - the knobs light up and move but no cursor on the screen. I'll check to see if I have something else enabled that interferes. Basically knobs do nada.

"Knobs lighting up" makes me think you are in Lock mode..

You're correct Bert. Switched to Legacy and now I get a cursor but it must not be my day -   🙂 

when I have cursor and move knob to get a "K", hit ENT I get the K and at the end of the field there is an "LI" which I cannot get rid of and of course screws up my waypoint. BTW, this doesn't happen on the G1000, 3000. I've disabled all addons in Addon Linker - no joy.

Do not hit enter after the K, turn the large knob to advance to the next character etc

Only after you have the entire waypoint entered, do you push ENT.

Yup! Another brain cramp. I don't do that in the 1000 or 3000 - have no idea why I did it here.

Always hate it when the user error is mine! 🙂  Thanx for the help Bert!

I found the FSD one as well but I don't think it's the same engine.  The airspeed markings are different.  The Carenado version seems to be a larger engine and is a bit faster.

That one is actually pretty easy - I am planning doing the Buddy Holly livery like I did for A2A.

This caught my eye... I have been coming in at 80 kts (or more) and wondering why the nose wheel would not stay on the ground.. 🤫

🤣 Well I find that this one is not the easiest to land. I managed to bring the speed down to around 75kts before touchdown, and it turned out quite good.

I purchased it but have not had a chance to fly yet.  According to my checkmate checklist card, approach is 100 knots and short final is 70 knots.
