I’ve had a couple of emails about our G5 and changing some settings vs the X-Plane 11 G5. Some were deemed as missing in the XP12 version vs the XP11. What we actually did was use the opportunity to build the proper settings menu seen on the real world G5’s into our new XP12 version, thus moving those options to the correct place.

To access this, assuming your G5 PFD is powered on, press and hold the power button until the countdown appears, then let go (don’t keep holding it, the message is a little confusing!). Once the unit is powered off, press and hold the power button until the configuration menu appears. Use the knob to dial through and select options. You’ll find the ability to change the v-speeds shown on the tape, the units - including hpa/inhg - and many more. You’ll also find the ability to switch between ground pointer and sky pointer. When you’re done, roll to the option to reboot and your changes will be saved.

Now we’ve added this menu, as found in the real-world G5, we will continue to add features as and when we can - and as requested!

Thanks

I understand that it should work via its 2D popup anyhow, but integrated in the panel would of course be much better.

This is simply a feature request, not a complaint in any way. And, honestly, it probably wouldn't be used much on an Arrow III since the POH speeds are listed in knots. But...

In our Arrow, the POH has everything listed in MPH (it is a 1969). The Aspen has a menu option to set the speeds on the PFD to MPH or knots. Would something like this be possible? 

Oh, before I forget - one other thing - the Davtron timer and the transponder timer seem to be linked - when I was doing some hold practice last night, I was using the Davtron for flight time and I was going to use the transponder timer to time my hold legs. But when I reset the transponder timer, the Davtron timer went to zero. Super low priority, but just something I thought I'd raise since I saw it.

Amazing replication of the Arrow, guys. Our real one is down for a couple of mx issues, so I have been using the virtual one in VR more over the past few days. Super job with the systems and the modeling! Thanks again.

I could use Air Manager but this specific version is better and more integrated with the aircraft model.

Thanks for any help in advance.

I purchased the VFlyte Arrow III G5/E1000 today.  I noticed that the VFlyte manual, but also confirmed by assigning the alt static air command from XPlane keyboard menu that you wrongly assigned that lever as being an alternate static source.  In the real airplane, this is the alternate air, being a non filtered source of air in case the filter would be clogged by ice during icing condition or hail.

I guess that this lever has no real function in the sim?  Normally during the engine checks on the ground, using the alternate air should decrease the manifold pressure and the RPM (the air is coming from the heated engine compartment, hence less dense air, therefore lower RPM).

Is it possible to update this for the next patch?

Thanks.

Can't we expect any more updates?

I decided to try this version due to the problem I am having with the alternator on the XPlane 11 version.

Alternator works fine on this aircraft but autopilot is completely dead 💀 

Any help would great 

It’s infuriating as this would be a perfect aircraft if I could just sort out this issue.

Loving my just-bought Arrow, I wondered if anyone would be able to change the color of the (black) panel of the G5 version to the light grey panel color of the E1000 version?

Best,

Lennard

Edit: it was very easy to do it myself using Photoshop!

Interestingly, it works in the Cessna G1000 as an example, so I know that xplane should support this.

Any ideas on what to change to get this working are welcome!

My steps for permissions :

1. turn off fire wall and antivirus nothing.

2. checking all X plain files nothing

3.Reinstall Piper PA 28 nothing

I can't swicht my altimeter setting on the G5 to hPa. The gauges toggle between the units if I click on them.

In the G5 setup there is no possibility to switch to hPa (in contrast to whats stated in the POH).

Does anyone know how to switch the G5 to hPa altimeter setting?

Regards

Thorsten

The other features of the auto pilot work as they should but the VNAV feature doesn't work at all in my set up.

I deleted the files, downloaded the software again, still no power on the g430's and auto pilot. The G5's are powered on as well as the transponder.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
