    Hi team

    is there a way of establishing the following

    • remaining Fuel at destination
    • remaining distance to destination
    • arrival time
    • adding range rings
    • top of descent

    i have also noticed that the engine trend gauge fuel figures for destination don't seem to make any sense. ete, eta fuel to destinationsays zero all the time, fuel at destination just drops continuously like a fuel quantity gauge as the fuel burns ,nothing corresponds to the actual current zulu time or flight plan nothing makes sense.
    am i doing something wrong?

    thank you

      Hello! Let's start with this: What GPS systems are you using? Some of the data on the ETM was not available with all 3rd party GPS sources, but I did my best at the time to fill them all out. I can test this later, but I would expect all of the data you mentioned here to be correctly populated. Also where would you like range rings and TOD to be added exactly?

        I saw the same sort of data missing in 2024 as I did in 2020 with the GNS 530. I assume nothing really changed between sims for those?

                I'll take a look at the ETM fuel pages on my end momentarily, but they should all be working with the PMS50 GTN, or at least were during development. Do I understand that you're looking for range rings and TOD also on the PMS50 GTN? I think it might already be possible for you to configure range rings, but otherwise you would have to talk to the PMS50 developer about that, as I have nothing to do with his product.

                  ive double checked and none of these items are even close to accurate on the tbm panel guage.

                  remaining Fuel at destination
                  remaining distance to destination
                  arrival time or any of the other paramaters.
                  gmt
                  local time dont even match

                  basically none of the time or fuel indications are acurate. not even slightly.
                  for example im on a 3 hour flight all correctly loaded in and the eta says my arrival time is in 15 minutes from now etc stuff like this.
                  ive now done about 100 flights since purchased and checked these on every flight and same result. something is definately not right.

                    none of the timings or fuel info is accurate on the 850 panel orange guage, ive done hundreds of flights and checks every flight, nothing is correct. even the local and gmt data doesnt match the sim times.

                      Pardon me to focusing on one thing immediately, but perhaps this can point us in the right direction. The GMT is read straight from the simulator's variable with nothing in between. If that's really wrong, then there might be something bigger picture going on.
