TBM 850

Thanks for your quick reply! So I get this right, that the values from the manual represent the real aircraft and are simply not achievable in the sim due to the "thick air" it simulates at low altitudes?

I finally found the cause. The TBM 850 integration was working correctly. The issue was caused by a PMS50 GTN750 option. In the integrated cockpit GTN750, System → Setup → Options → VCALC was enabled. This option forces the VCALC page to be displayed instead of the VNAV page. After disabling it, VNAV Profile immediately became available in the cockpit GTN as well. So this was a layer-8 configuration issue, not a problem with the Black Square TBM 850. I sincerely apologize for posting this in the TBM forum. Thank you for your patience and for reading through my overly complicated investigation. Greetings from Berlin! Kai! P.

@daifuco Many thanks for the kind words and appreciation! Even with being partially deaf it’s amazing to hear how it has changed your experience for the better.

i recently got a new PC (AMD 9950X3d2, 64GB DDR5-6400 RAM, RTX 5090) and on this new system i also have these very subtle periodic microstutters every second like before. fresh system, no other software except for windows and flight sim. it's very subtle so maybe a lot of people don't notice it and it varies in intensity. sometimes it's gone, then it comes back. basically i just use MSFS 2024 ultra settings. nothing changed from these settings. and like before, only with black square aircraft (in this case i only tested the TBM unlike last time)

I've been away from FS for a while and came back to see this!! Thanks Nick! You're the best!

Good morning all, Okay so I did uninstall the TDS (dont worry Ill reinstall it lol) I have discovered a few things. First uninstalling the TDS had zero effect, so thats clearly not the issue. However I did play with the 114, and my logitech radio panel through spad DOES work! So thats interesting. New questions: What is it about the TBM that rejects my logitech radio panel through spad? Is there a work around that may exist to bypass whatever is preventing my radio panel from working. Ive gone over the LVARS from the manual and I dont quite see anything that would work. Also interestingly when I remove the GPS all together and only use the basic radio stack, my radio panel is still inop.

Ah, that could be a good clue, since I’m using the PMS GTN750 in combination with the GNS530. Oddly enough, the latter isn't displaying any data either. If the calculations are based on that, they would naturally be incorrect. Of course, I don't know how it works internally... [image: 56599130-1e97-4072-b2c6-04a8e1b704a4.png]

In 2024 you have made an empty profile for the Alpha and Bravo and thats the one you are using right?

@SadBucket That's the procedure, thanks! I actually did the following: leave in HDG mode, angled towards the localizer, in VLOC mode. Wait for the needle to get close, then put it in NAV mode so it intercepts the localizer. Then hit APR to arm glideslope mode, and let it descend. However, be ready to fly it manually if something's not quite working. I did three approaches with FSIPanel, worked each time. This especially comes in handy when flying in IMC. I think I crashed my Caravan trying to follow ILS while hand flying in heavy precip into PANC on Vatsim once...very embarrassing.

@Raller that's it! I do, indeed, use your 851TB livery. Thanks so much for taking the time to figure this out. I've been flying the TBM quite a bit lately since the new sound pack was released, but I'd given up on the 530 as nav/com2. Looking forward to going back to it!

I believe noise abatement, mostly, but take that with a sizeable grain of salt because I am a simmer, not a real pilot. Per the TBM POH, you should be able to reduce RPM until the TQ reached 121% (spitballing from memory, it's been a while since I've read the exact numbers) and maintain airspeed, however in the sim I have seen dropoffs of 20kts or greater. I am hoping that Nick will be able to overcome that at some point. EDIT: I knew I had written a post about this, here it is: https://community.justflight.com/topic/7065/the-propeller-lever-does-have-a-use

@Black-Square I have one more minor issue: During the panel light test (1 or 2), the “Starter” light should flash. [image: 61c3f993-a7c4-4ce2-abc4-aab4c96b7691.jpg]

ok, if this 15% discount is only on the audio package then it's like €2.7, it's not worth the wait

I understand where you’re coming from. FS2024 was very rough when it first released. But now after two years and several system updates, it’s smooth, stable, and mostly bug free. If you’re willing to give 24 a second chance, you won’t regret it now.

@Black-Square said in Texture bug when is raining: What I don't know is why nobody has mentioned it before. Fixed. I don't fly in the rain

Update I noticed that this bug is exclusive to the GNS530. Any chance that this will be fixes in a future update?

@Black-Square Thank you for fixing it, I really appreciate your constant support to the community. I also highly respect you for having to deal with all of us xD Have a good day!
