TBM 850

Thanks!
Apparently selecting the KX155B for both left and right gives the configuration without any GPS navigation. Did not expect that.

I just tried it loading a plan into the world map first. Showed up in the GNS, did not affect the ETM functionality.

Oh indeed brilliantly simulated! The co-pilots AI is indeed vacuum controlled as in the manual and it's the pilots reserve A(D)I that is controlled by the ADI 2 switch (so it is electric) but you only notice this at start-up if it is not spinning yet but then switching it off at first does not seem to do anything as it is still spinning. Nice!

Glad you were able to catch it! I wanted to be as rare and special as it is in real aircraft (it's one of the only items on my aviation bucket list), but sometimes I worry that I made it too rare to be enjoyed in a flight simulator. If you do get a good video, be sure to share it with the community, since I don't think many people have seen it!

The left rolling tendency you are getting under full power in a climb and with the ailerons neutral is due to engine torque. Having to correct with right aileron is normal. You should notice that after you reduce power and level out in cruise that the decrease in AOA and power will allow for a close to neutral aileron input for level flight.

Cheers both.. Guessing it's not possible then with native commands as tried several of the "starter" commands in msfs

I understand! Thank you for explaining. I hope you didn't take my message to be accusatory either, by the way. I really take the claims in my marketing to heart, so I just wanted to make sure that I was not running afoul of my own promises in someone's eyes. Indeed, I will continue to think about how this can be done, but I do not have any immediate solutions that I would be willing to deploy retroactively. Usually the way this works for me is that I design something new (Starship), with a new solution (altitude arming), learn how my users interact with it, and then find a way to work that polished solution back into my older products, if possible.

That was it! Thank you.

I've seen that the KNS81 now triggers new arm-modes on the autopilot, could it be that changing the source on the HSI should do the same? If so, one would be free to go to other NAV-modes on the HSI, to prepare course etc., without disengaging the current AP NAV mode.

It would make sense if it's how it works in the real aircraft? But I'm just guessing...

@Raller Once I found your livery, I stopped looking and haven't used anything else. It's gorgeous, and nice to know you spend the time and effort to be sure it's up to date.

Ok, thank you for the clarification.

Please disregard this post, I just saw another thread from September in which the developer addresses this.

I think I've found the issue. "Black Square TBM 850 Enhanced Cockpit" mod from flightsim.to was the issue. I removed that from my community and so far so good. Will do a test flight now to see

LOL... Look closely at the image of the real 850. There is still wing under and above the boots, it's just that it's white and blends in with the background. It's an optical illusion that the wings on the BS 850 is twice the size. The boots might be covering more of the leading edge, but that's it.

Thanks for letting us know in case someone else runs across the same problem!

I suspect this is most likely caused by some outdated GPS addon or other incompatible package in your community folder. Try temporarily emptying your community folder of all addons except the TBM and see if that helps. If not, I suggest contacting Just Flight support, as they have more experience troubleshooting simulator-level issues than I do, whereas I specialize in the aircraft's systems. You're also welcome to stay in touch here and let me know how it goes.

Thanks for letting me know!

Not familiar with your equipment, but… Real World. Is the HSI mechanical or is it an MFD (multi function display)? If it is an MFD there may be an option to display the ‘HSI’ hdg as magnetic or true. That will be indicated my a ‘M’ or ‘T’ symbol, typically shown at the top of the display. What ever the case, unless otherwise indicated, a wind arm / speed would normally follow the convention of the hdg source for the HSI display. But to further complicate matters. The computer wind direction/speed can be derived from all manner of data; TRK, G/S, TAS, EAS, OAT, etc, etc. What (wind and speed) is shown is that which is being experienced by the a/c in flight, so in the real world it would be at altitude - NOT surface wind.

I hope that helps, sorry if it doesn’t. BTW, at extremes of latitude some equipment manufacturers require the a/c to be flown with reference to true hdg only.

Personnaly, even though I'd had to pay for new soundset, i'll do it. (for the TBM 850, King Air 350) and i haven't bought the Caravan because the sound. Realistic sound is very important for me.
