TBM 850

The GNS message annunciator functionality is in the hands of Working Title. I provided them with my own fix for this, along with many other improvements for the GNS. My contact said that they will consider them, but not for SU15. I would also like them to implement a fix for the native flight plan loading issue (when a flight plan was created in the simulator's menu), but I wouldn't expect that to come with SU15 either. I will keep you posted if I hear anything more.

I added the LVAR:BKSQ_ShowBetaAnnunciator in the flap logic just for the visual

I'll take a look at this later and see if I can see it. If it's only with the GNS530, then it's almost certainly related to their custom autopilot, though. Is this affecting your use of the aircraft in any way, or were you just inspecting the variable for a home cockpit, perhaps?

In general I suggest entering a livery request at flightsim.to or contact one of the TBM livery creators there directly.

@Black-Square Thanks - I've implemented a condition within SPAD to prevent electric trims from working when there is no power to the bus, which is a good workaround

I think it is related to Rex weather. Also to cold with other aircrafts. Last flight at FL290 -51 c should have been some - 40ish

More on this topic: The power lever on flight idle should give 69%ng, plus minus 2%. It gives something around 64%… This being said, I understand very well that true to life turboprop modelling is not easy !

In another plane (A2A PA24 Comanche) I noticed that this happened after putting a livery in my community folder that used a particular font.

Those are extremely unusual symptoms that are indicative of something much deeper wrong with your installation. For instance, that's the kind of behavior we see when a poorly developed freeware addon has overridden core simulator behavior. Step one would be emptying your community folder, and trying again with no peripherals plugged into your computer. Technical Support will be able to walk you through a troubleshooting checklist and find your problem quite quickly, I'm sure.

I moved this feature over to the tablet in the Turbine Duke, btw. I will do the same for the TBM when I introduce the tablet.

@pds Same, Ive never seen him touch or talk about the aileron trim. And when he or his autopilot is flying the plane the ball is centered and the controls are neutral.

I think using another aircraft's engine sound is not that trivial, not to talk about the licensing issues. However it was just confirmed that @Black-Square will cooperate with Boris Audio Works to create a custom sound set for the Turbo Duke. I hope that the TBM can benefit of this afterwards, because the current sounds are the only major downgrade for me on this excellent product.

@vojkd Thanks, that looks amazing. Unfortunately I am too lazy to do this manually. An fully automated option is the TBM Performance app on iOS/Android.

Ahh, I didn't see that post. No worries, it's not the end of the world.

Was the manual override lever set, or are you now using it? The latter is an issue, if so.

What I don’t get is: I don’t have that sound. Never heard it. I know is should be there but for me there is nothing. Begs the question, what other sounds am I missing that would enhance the simulation? We know the engine sound could be better but on my end it seems the sounds are just dull, which I know should not be the case. I am the one not having missing least this sound piece?
