TBM 850

Just giving this a quick bump. This is probably a config setting somewhere, but I've no idea where. Does anyone have any idea? I really want to be able to use the 530 as the second nav/com unit, but can't right now.

What I learned from searching AI is that the Black Square TBM 850 borrows the sound pack from the default TBM 930. Apparently Black Square has expressed an interest in replacing it with it's own sound pack but this so far has been rumored for a few years now. There have never been any official updates on future plans.

I'd gladly pay for the tbm to be at the other BS aircraft level

It should actually be two 750s as this is the typical config.

Nice to see another tech in the flight sim world contributing to quality of product. I haven't had time to really make a list, but these are all spot on from my experience on the TBM range (also for a service center). There are some minor cosmetic remarks too, but again, no time for me to make a proper post.

@JakobFB If an aircraft has the cockpit door, there is a nonslip pad on the wing. It's not just a sticker, but also a metal strip to protect from airflow peeling it off (Item 7). [image: 96972800-970f-4e02-81a8-6c093459e7ae.png]

@micstatic You may want to create a new post for that suggestion, and see what other people think about it!! I was only reporting some oddities here, but it could be nice addition to have more flexibility in avionics.

Thank you! That all makes sense - the reason I think it's worth addressing in a future update is mainly because as implemented, a gyro failure would have a disproportionate effect because there isn't a back up

FYI - the ETM seemed similar to the one in the Turboprop Bonanza and Duke - and both of these work correctly in the Duke. That's why I thought it might be a TBM specific issue (or an update that didn't make it to the TBM yet).

Thanks for your reply, and thanks for the great addons! I am on 2020 and the TBM has never remembered the fuel load between sessions. It does remember the payload, but never the fuel. I believe it works correctly on the Duke, but I am not sure at the moment. As for the prop deice, I was in fact using the default toggle event through SPAD.Next, but the switch wasn't animated. However I just noticed the B even B:DEICE_Propeller_1 and setting it to 1 or 0 seems to work: I get both the green light and the animation. The Toggle event was only giving me the light, no switch animation. I'll experiment with the _IsDown addition to LVARS. The Annunciator TEST and the gear down test have neither sound, nor animation, whereas the deice light test, ECS fault light test and the ITT test work correctly. Cheers!

I've not heard anything about a TBM sound update other than both parties are interested but Nick has Boris booked clean into 2040* for other projects. *Some user speculation may have been used in this estimate

I thought it was just a port not native Downloading the 2024 version.

The issue persisted across all turboprop aircraft that have a condition lever. Re-installing Flight Simulator 2024 resolved the issue. I can only assume it was a faulty package upon installing SU5.

Great to know. Thanks! Love this aircraft!
