Recent views of videos of the Avro Arrow, notably a film and a documentary, interested me in trying out the Arrow in Flight Gear. I vaguely remember the file in the aircraft list and decided to try it out.

'''Downloading'''
Recent views of videos of the '''Avro Arrow''', notably a film and a documentary, interested me in trying out the Arrow in Flight Gear. I vaguely remember the file in the aircraft list and decided to try it out.


=== Downloading ===
A note about downloading - the links on the aircraft download page did not work. I had to resort to entering the file name in the browser window and locating some alternate download sites that worked fine.

'''Installing'''
=== Installing ===
 
Installing was simple - just copy it to the games folder in Linux and expand. The aircraft appeared in the FG start menu and launched without any problems.

'''Flying the Arrow.'''
=== Flying the Arrow ===
 
The take off was really unconventional, venturing off the runway in a totally unrealistic fashion, but once airborne, the aircraft climbed well, but was really sensitive in roll. The engines responded fairly quickly. This is a large aircraft and the handling in the simulator has been set up to reflect this.

'''Instrumentation'''
=== Instrumentation ===
The radar altimeter is a welcome addition, but the altimeter does not work, there is a large ASI and a VSI that works, and that was sufficient to fly around, get lost, find a runway and make a few low passes before landing in a large field and rolling for an interminable amount of time before stopping.
