    Thought of something else - the Smart Glide function of the TDS GTNs require two LVAR variables to be set in the aircraft's .FLT files in order to function correctly when activated.

    I bought it recently and have noticed that most addon planes don't have this set up, so I figure out what the best glide speed and glide ratio values are for that aircraft, and put the LVARs in the .FLT files myself. But, I just wanted to point this out to you, if you were not aware of it already. On my computer I gave the TBM this treatment already, I have yet to do the Dukes. The odds of losing both engines are pretty slim, I know - just wasn't sure if you were aware of this.

    I can give you some values if you need them, but pretty sure you don't haha.

    Interesting. I was unaware that they were supposed to go in the flight files, as I have always set them in the behaviors XML. This is also where I set the electricity variables for the TDS, so I assumed it had been working. If you confirm that this has not been working on my aircraft, please let me know so I can go back and make this fix. Thank you!

    @Black-Square I have not tried it - and was not aware it could be done another way. Sounds like you do have it set up already then.

    Yep, just tested it and I see it's wanting to glide at 110kts. Disregard, sorry about that. Definitely don't want to waste your time and stop you from developing more awesome aircraft.

    Might need to be set on the TBM and the rest of your aircraft for their next patches, but I have no knowledge if that has been done already, of course.
