Hello, are there any plans to update the color of the toggles on the Overhead Panel, ECS, and Ice protection System? When it is cloudy and in the nighttime I struggle with knowing what position are my toggles. The Panel Lighting and cockpit lighting does not help either. Unfortunately we cannot feel the position of the toggles Even when I turn up my brightness and adjust the contrast it does not help much. Thank you!

Create a new airframe, guys.

CTD again and again ! these crashes happen randomly : -CTD when I put full fuel tank but when I reload plane tanks are still full and no more crash -CTD when I put ON crash bar -CTD when I enter a procedure with some airport (eg: CYYR ILS Y 08) press LOAD and crash -CTD during cruise -CTD during approach log: 2018-11-03 19:41:05 TBM900[except.c:171]: Caught EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION max flight time is approx 1 hour for me, after this time it crash for some reason. it crash so much it become annoying... I dont want to be harsh, every addons has bug, I know, but not so much CTD.

The problem appears to be isolated to Windows and the way it time stamps files. Apologies, but creating a new airframe is the only way around this issue. @Sims Smith it shouldn't be doing that. But go ahead and just create a new airframe and all should be working.

@nikit Thank you so much

Hi - I just experience the same thing. Cheers.

They had already put all this work into modeling the PT6 engine so it would make sense to do another plane that has that engine. My favourite is the Cessna Caravan.

Some images of my TBM900 hehehe

I experience the same challenge as CDNCAVOK . Black on black is very difficult to see and I have problems with the controls on pedestal too like throttle , flap position , On my screen they sort of blend into a single amorphous unit . This is the way Socata does it in real life but It is surprising Socata doesn't implement color coding for ergonomic reasons . Maybe 3D in real life makes it unecessary whereas a flat screen lessens the distinction between uneven surfaces if they are the same color.

Done!

please, just add COLD and DARK function! I also have lots of problems loading aircraft from previous flights, mostly if I had kind of crash etc. It takes ages to load and then strange state situation. I understand idea, but it is sim world, not real one. CTD and crashes because of hardware configuration are sim environment, not real world, so we need possibility to reset such things and not look for solution every flight...

Curious. I have no issues with the SkunkCrafts updater together with the TBM. Are you sure you're using the latest version? BTW, it updates a number of aircraft.

good finding. you could report it to LR. http://dev.x-plane.com/support/bugreport.html

Probably many already know this. There is now a TBM900 profile on SimBrief ! Derek Mayer is an amazing developer, worth supporting
