TBM850 in 2024
-
@Bert-Pieke Thanks a lot again! I have launched TBM 850 in MSFS24. There is a sound in the simulator!!! Yes, I haven't flown yet, I'm waiting for the weekend to enjoy

@Black-Square while at FS2024 compatibility, will you repack the TBM into FS2024 package? looks like Asobo restrict some newer features and SDK variables to FS2024 only. As example, personally hoping to use "AMBIENT LIGHT SENSOR" in my home cockpit but that will not report real values for FS2020 packages by design.
Also, will you look into taking advantage of the newer flight model additions in FS2024 ,i.e. improved surface deflections etc.? -
I plan on exploring all of these features, I have just been overwhelmed trying to restore basic functionality and quality for my aircraft in MSFS 2024 while reporting and circumventing a nearly endless stream of bugs. Hopefully I can add all of these features in due time. In the meantime, you can use "L:bksq_SolarBrightness" (0-1), which should give a close approximation for display brightness in all of my aircraft in 2020 and 2024. I have also been using A:GLASSCOCKPIT AUTOMATIC BRIGHTNESS in my Velocity, in case that does any better for you in MSFS 2024.

Thanks for the rapid and detailed reply. Well understood.... from the little I've seen, life is not easy for developers with MSFS2024 , especially in the current state.
Thanks for the SolarBrightness var! will surely try it! -
I've really enjoyed flying the TBM 850 in FS2020 and, like many others, have been patiently waiting for a compatibility update for FS2024. With limited information on when that might be released, I attempted to install version Install_BKSQ_TBM850_MSFS_0.1.2.exe. Unfortunately, the installer fails, stating that MSFS is not detected on my system due to the inability to locate the UserCfg.opt file.
In the meantime, is there a way to manually direct the installer to the FS2024 UserCfg.opt location so we can continue using the aircraft until the official update arrives?
It's worth noting that some other developers, while acknowledging their aircraft aren't fully compatible with FS2024 yet, have at least updated their installers to allow users to proceed—albeit at their own risk.
I'm curious why a similar approach hasn't been considered here. I'm sure there's a reason, though whether it's one that truly addresses customer concerns or simply serves to placate is another matter.

In order for the Black Square TBM to really work, you need the 2020 Asobo TBM 930 installed in your 2024 Community folder, because the 850 uses those sounds. If you just use the 2024 TBM 930, you'll probably find some other oddball issues as well.
It's the same for the other Black Square conversions, as well -- gotta copy the 2020 versions to your Community folder.
