TBM850 in 2024
-
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.

Any updates on the 2024 compatibility patch since SU2 was just released?
-
Thanks for the report. I have been looking into these stutters recently, as I have seen them reported with all of my complex aircraft, and several other complex 3rd party aircraft in MSFS 2024. This surprised me, as I take a substantial effort in development to make my aircraft frame rate friendly. I suffered for too many years with a lower-end PC not allowing me to enjoy the aircraft I wanted to fly for my users to face the same dilemma, so performance has always been a top priority of mine.
Unfortunately, to the best I can tell, this is a MSFS 2024 problem with the "CoherentGT" system used to render avionics and my tablet displays. Asobo has said that they are working on a solution in our developer forums, and there may have been some improvement in SU1 Beta already, but other developers are reporting that there is still a significant loss of performance and stuttering for Coherent-based avionics. I will keep you updated if I learn more, or if there is anything I can do to mitigate the problem on my end. Hopefully they will correct this problem so that we can have the same performance that we did in MSFS 2020.
@Black-Square Any timeframe for Duke and TBM 2024-updates?
-
They have been ready to launch for months, but I just keep hoping that Asobo will fix the bugs I'm begging them to deal with before I release my aircraft. Starship was a good experiment, and I learned many things about MSFS 2024, but the issues that I need fixed are out of my control. I heard that SU3 was going to be "early July", so I'm hoping to get them one more chance before I release the aircraft regardless, missing registrations and all.

Hello @Black-Square , thank you for your reply. I actually bought this plane this afternoon and realized too late that it's for MSFS 2020. What you're saying is very reassuring. If I understand you correctly, when SU3 comes out, whether the bugs you have are resolved or not, will you release the plane? Thank you very much for your feedback, have a nice day.
-
That's the plan, assuming SU3 isn't moved to 2026 (I'm joking... hopefully). There are also workarounds to get the TBM into 2024 right now, but I don't endorse them, because the experience is sub-optimal.

@Black-Square If you tell me that the plane can be released in an official version within 15 days (in Asobo days), I will wait. Good evening and thank you for your feedback.
