TBM 850

Thanks for the notes, I'm glad to hear you're enjoying the aircraft! There is a lot of love for the TBM in the community, so I am always happy to apply fixes and port new features to it over the years. I know I fixed the trim master switch issue a while back (awaiting the next update), but I'm surprised nobody else reported the window rain effects yet! I've just fixed that for the next update too. I also fixed the composite mode electrical issue a while back, which was a little less trivial to unravel. The DME issue was actually just a display problem, rather than a radio problem, but it reminded me of a limitation with the aircraft, just in case you go looking after the next update. I boxed myself into a corner, because there is a limit on the number of NAV radios we can "spawn" in MSFS, and I need at least one to drive the DME holding. With the KNS RNAV, that leaves only one DME holding receiver to share between the pilot and copilot's DME unit. This means that whichever one is put into hold mode last will override the holding frequency of the previous one. With what an infrequently used feature this is, I figured it would go unnoticed in normal operations. Lastly, I'm not surprised about the FD in MSFS 2024... Last time I checked, there were some undocumented changes made to the flight director that I had yet to fully investigate. I had hoped they would be reverted, but apparently not. I'll take a look later today, and see what I can learn about the new behavior. Thanks again, and let me know if there is anything else I can do for you!

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.

Hi! Just wanted to hear if there is a chance that we might see an update to the wing model in the future? Best regards, Jakob

@fabristunt said in A list of Squawks as a 10+ year TBM Maintainer: will the update also apply to the MSFS 2020 version of the TBM or will it be 2024 only? I will do my best to keep both versions in parity with each other as long as I can. So far, there is nothing (other than preflight walkarounds) that can't be done in MSFS 2020, as well. I made a promise to continue supporting and releasing new aircraft for MSFS 2020 as long as I could, and I will continue to uphold my end of the bargain for the time being. Your end is simply to enjoy my aircraft, and do some really great flying

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!

@JakeBunny Thank you so much. My family and friends will tell you that I have been absolutely giving my entire life to these aircraft over the last few years, but messages like that make it worth the while

Same here, I can't get my Logitech Radio Panel to work with the Dukes (in MSFS2024). I then exited the flight, launched in with a default Asobo aircraft and the radio panel worked fine, so then exited that flight and launched back into the Duke and the panel went off. I confirmed that Master and Avionics switch positions didn't seem to make any difference ... so not sure what's going on there as it's OK with other aircraft (although standby frequency selection currently doesn't work in the FenixSim A320).

great, it works! thanks a lot for help and fast reply

@SadBucket said in GNS530 issue after latest MSFS2020 SU16: you can select the KX155B as secondary with the 750. That is what I have been doing. Of course, but IRL I wouldn't file RNAV IFR routes without a backup GPS unit. And since I fly mostly to smaller airports where RNAV approaches are far more common... The best solution, of course, would be to have support for a backup 650 or even dual 750s. I note there's an active topic discussing just that.

Following this because I'm very interested in being able to address KVars like that with something I'm trying to do with Starship.
