TBM 850

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

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

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

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

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.

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!
