@Black-Square said in A list of Squawks as a 10+ year TBM Maintainer:
This is the only tough one, unfortunately. As I just explained to someone else in another thread, MSFS does not really have any support for beta range, and everything you see here is me fighting with the underlying simulation to get what I want. For whatever reason, the propeller simulation creates a decrease of RPM when reducing the blade pitch into the beta range. I've considered adding yet another patch of my own on top of this simulation to mitigate the problem, but too many patches on top of patches can become a dangerous thing in software, unfortunately.
I have no knowledge about the real aircraft behavior, however would like to add one point from a pure flightsim perspective:
It is basically impossible to find a power setting that maintains taxi speed at a stable level.
If I control the power lever with the keyboard F2 & F3 I can set increments of 1%. If I have a setting that increases speed, reducing by 1% already slows the aircraft down.
If this is similar in the real aircraft I would accept this. If not, I would appreciate checking if the a stable speed can be achieved with a broader range of power lever setting, knowing that aircraft weight & weather conditions have an influence as well.
Anyway, @Subsonic many thanks for your real maintenance view, if you can also on my comment.
