    @stovie Huh. OK, perhaps there's something weird happening with my Spad.next setup then. Thanks for letting me know!

    @paintedfloors Mine always starts up in ALt mode also. Not using Spad or anything else... However I am using the PMS50-GTN-750 for navigation.

      @rbringh I'm using the TDS GTNXi, so it might be the 750 then

          @hughesj2 I’m also using just the GNS530 (sometimes x2 and sometimes with the bendix com/nav 2 stack)

            Yeah so in our configuration/s there's no other transponder, which explains why others using GTN750 may not see this as that has a transponder in it, whereas we'll be using the dedicated GTX327

            Cheers

              @hughesj2 to clarify the config that seems to give me SBY mode on powerup is the TDS GTNXi linked to the 750 switch and analogue KX155 for the stack. That mode gives me SBY on both the 750 and the GTX327 XPDR

                I received this from the GTN Discord Team

                pms50 — Today at 2:41 AM
                After checking, this is definitively an issue at aircraft level.
                We have tested by removing the GTN750 packages from the community folder and we get the same result (ALT mode by default).

                You can fix the issue by yourself:

                Search the entry TransponderState in the files apron.FLT, taxi.FLT and runway.FLT
                These files are located in the subfolder SimObjects\Airplanes\bksq-aircraft-tbm850 of the TBM850 package
                Set the following values:

                apron.FLT -> TransponderState = 1
                taxi.FLT -> TransponderState = 3
                runway.FLT -> TransponderState = 3

                Restart the sim

                Hope that helps.

                  Yeah spot on I've just set apron.FLT -> TransponderState = 4 and it powers on into STBY now

                      Jut found this video, TBM700 granted but interesting to see it boot straight to ALT mode...At least we have a means to customise to preference now...
