The next inspection is due soon, according to the ETM. Am I supposed to click something somewhere to perform maintenance or will it just reset when I pass the 200 hours mark?<br />
One more question: I see that the ETM shows a value of 80% used. What is it referring to? The general condition of the TBM? The engine condition is 97% on the Tablet and WX Radar.</p>

<p dir="auto">She's been treating me right so far, no big failures. I had issues with the prop governor and the engine surging around the 100 hours mark, at 120 hours the NAV 1 Receiver failed. The right landing light and the ice light failed at 129 hours and just this morning the Vacuum Pump moved on to greener pastures at 189 hours.<br />
A few months back the inertial separator failed, but it might have been my fault: the switch on my hardware panel had an issue and it activated randomly a few times above 200 knots.</p>
<p dir="auto">The Turbine Duke on the other hand has been more temperamental, but still nothing majorly disrupting. I'm at about 160 hours on it if I recall correctly.</p>
<p dir="auto">Looking forward to the next update, hopefully the TBM will start remembering the fuel load I left it with in the previous session.<br />
Really hoping for the new sounds at some point, the headset simulation would be quite useful, she's loud!<br />
A couple of questions:</p>
<ul>
<li>is it ok to use the default menu to change fuel load? Sometimes I need to carry a fuel amount that is in between the options available on the tablet.</li>
<li>did you manage to fix the prop heat switch? The animation doesn't work when controlled via the LVAR, but the green light comes on.</li>
<li>a few things do not produce sound when controlled via LVARS, for example the gear down test or resetting the master caution/warning. Did I make a mistake or is it supposed to be like that? The button works, it's just silent.<br />
Keep up the good work, this is definitely my favourite aircraft in MSFS.</li>
</ul>
