TBM 850

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.

Just tried that thanks, not sure it works any better for me as I use legacy mode so clicking just aligns the bug with current heading or with the semi circular icons it just rotates as normal even if I drag the mouse away when depressed...Reason I use the mouse scroll is it's easier for me to use the control with TrackIR rather than having to be really precise and get the relevant increase/decrease semi circular arrows

@severniae Do you have sources to this claim about efficiency? Either for the TBM specifically or for constant speed props generally? I'd like to understand this more. To quote Daher from the cruise performance pages in their TBM 850 POH: Propeller RPM utilization between 1600 and 2000 RPM is possible without changing performance. Display the TRQ indicated in table with Np = 2000 RPM, then reduce Np without exceeding 121.4 % TRQ. In other words, any theoretical reduction in propeller efficiency is not worth considering when reducing RPM, at least not in this aircraft, as long as you're not butting against a limitation like in your example. And above ~FL250 you're no longer able to reach 121.4% at 2000 RPM, so reducing RPM should increase TQ for (within reason) the same performance, not the loss of TAS that we currently see. What is yet to see is if this is something BS can remedy without going completely outside the sim like Majestic did for the Q400, or if the age old issue with Microsoft sims' poor rendition of turboprop engines will make this a permanent thing (and if FS24 will be any better than it's forebears)

Plus 1 for this!

Interesting! I must have seen that go by while working on the G3X integration for my Velocity XL, but I didn't think to add it to my other aircraft. That will be in the next update. Thank you!

So I deleted everything to do with TBM 850. When you uninstall from windows some stuff are still there, specially a file called "state.cfg (make sure it is deleted) . I reinstalled the latest TBM 850 update. Now it seams that the AP is behaving again!! Finger cross!!!

I always thought the blue was a little dark too. Since there were two shades of blue, I must have sampled it from real world imagery somewhere. I think that your change to combine them all into the same two colors adds so much clarity to the instrument that I'm willing to make the change, though. Thanks for previewing it for me!

found the issue, thanks again for the help

@VIZIX Maybe you have to be in a parking slot? Edit: Tested this and yes, that seems to be the case - you have to be inside a spesific parking spot or otherwise external power doesn't show up! After slewing 850, it worked even in a helipad, but not anymore if I slew couple meters away from it.

@Orlaam what do you expect him to do? This is a known bug in MSFS and you can replicate it in many aircraft, including default ones. It’s just a very strange issue and hopefully it will be fixed.

Oh, sorry fogott to give feedback. I cleaned the community folder and started msfs with only the PMS50 and the TBM within the community folder. Same behaviour. With the GNS530

I've done a great deal to minimize the twitchy controls, but most MSFS aircraft are pretty light on the controls. It's been this way for decades. It's nice to see some developers actually reducing the lightweight flight dynamics that aren't true to life. iniBuilds does a decent job on their A300 too. The Caravan and TBM, followed by the Duke are good heavier feeling GA planes.

@Black-Square Scott from JF directed me to on Aug 11, 2023. It's truly not an issue it got overlooked because we're both busy people. I can send you many more materials and provide my own experience maintaining these aircraft. While I haven't had a chance to work on 850 specifically, my regular customers were 700C1 and C2 (very similar to 850), 910, 940 and 960.

@Outermarker This is not normal. Aux pump comes on when fuel pressure drops below 10 psi +/- 2 and stays on. I am searching the documentation for the description of the logic, but this is what I have for now. [image: c855d286-4c0b-44de-89e9-c7f2bfc656a8.png]

In Legacy TBM850, second AHRS was optional. [image: d811161b-00c2-408d-8ba6-6e8bdd30a866.png] [image: 3955cf8e-4a82-4f67-8eb9-5a148c4bc91a.png]

Thanks Zwoop68. Much appreciated.

There’s already a cabin temperature display on the right side instrument panel.

Quick states would be really usefull too. At least two options for "cold and dark" and "takeoff" states.

A complete sound rework would be the cherry on top of this otherwise perfect aircraft! @Raller Your repaint with the custom interior is awesome, I always use it when flying the TBM!
