Tablet Setting: "Load with covers and chocks deployed" Has NO Effect

WingC3

I have set and reloaded with this setting in both positions. In either case, the aircraft loads without chocks or covers in place.

Yes, I'm on the ramp/apron
Yes, I'm cold and dark.
Yes, I can manually deploy them once the aircraft is loaded.

You're absolutely correct about that. Sorry I missed it. There are a couple things I want to add before we submit the TBM to the Marketplace, so I might publish a small update to take care of this.

Not a problem :) Just giving it a thorough once-over. It flies great, as always. Your modules and the Fenix are the best modelled aircraft in the game.

Just to add to this post. None of the variables on the tablet page are saved. You have to set all of them on loading including the navigation configuration and then confirm. Hope this is a quick fix as the rest of the update is superb.

Also would appreciate if the tablet saves the units (gal/lbs vs. L/kg) on the Payload page.

Is this going to be patched soon?

Skrelk

To be kinda blunt, it's disappointing to have purchased this after a recent update and see a bunch of new or unpatched bugs, and nothing from the developer on a patch. The cargo weight/layout being wrong isn't great, but it can be worked around, the HSI displaying RNAV/MLS is annoying, but ignorable, but putting these issues and those together - what's the plan here?

Black Square

The plan is to fix them in an update, as I've always done with all my other aircraft. I told several other users with bug reports and suggestions since the latest update that I will have another opportunity to fix them in the coming weeks when we submit the TBM for marketplace approval. I have already fixed everything you found with the payload interface, but the EHSI has been showing those options since release. It's slightly difficult for me to ensure that all the navigation sources synchronize properly if I started dynamically removing pages, and I had planned on implementing my own microwave landing system after I learned how to do something similar for the RNAV autopilot coupling. Thank you for pointing out the payload issues, as nobody else had yet, including my beta testers. I think it was easy for us to miss more bugs than usual with this release, since it was a major update to an existing aircraft. Once you've learned how to fly the machine and become set in your ways, it's much harder to spot things than when you are learning the aircraft for the first time while scrutinizing your own understanding of the systems.
