TBM 850

Glad to see you're enjoying the TBM so thoroughly! This is exactly the kind of investment into one of my aircraft that they were built for. To answer your questions quickly in bullet from: The inspection time will reset at the proper intervals. The "key %used" refers to the USB stick in the unit that records all the data. It will also reset before hitting 100%. It's fun for me that you've flown enough to notice these details! The TBM should already remember fuel load between flights, as all my aircraft have the code to do so, but state saving has been intermittent for some users since MSFS 2020, and sometimes bugged completely in MSFS 2024. You can absolutely use the default payload interface instead of the tablet! That's actually in the FAQ in my manuals. I haven't checked in a while, but my canard aircraft might flip over backwards if you set passenger payload with the default payload interface, due to a lack of foresight on the part of someone at Asobo. We've asked them to fix this, but I don't think it's happened yet. Looking at the code, I'm not sure what L:Var you're using for the propeller heat, because I didn't create one. It should be as simple as using the native event: >K:TOGGLE_PROPELLER_DEICE. Are you sure the button animates with the L:Var? If it does, then the sound should play, since it's tied to the animation. If the button does not animate, then you might try adding _IsDown to the end of the L:Vars, which works for some momentary switches and buttons.

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.

looking forward to this possibility. Would be the icing on the cake so to speak.

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.

@Black-Square Sorry I know it’s a little old now. But please please another 750, if impossible a smaller 630. I recently bought it from marketplace on Xbox and overall it’s my favourite plane you guys make. But I can’t get over the flaws and some of the unrealistic aspects of the 530, like having no data page in the AUX tab yet being capable of NEXRAD. I know I’m nuts fussing over a small detail like that, but please do it if possible. I made an account just for this post lol.

Once I land and shutdown, I "restart" my flight, then end the flight. This method works for me across all Black Square aircraft.

@Black-Square thanks for responding. I will dig in and see how it goes

Just realized I never replied here. No issues found. I do not have PMS and do not intend to get it.
