    New to the TBM, and following the tuturials, 

    Releasing the park brakes is no problem ...  but i can't apply brakes.

    I don't have rudder pedals,

    Apparently this plane was designed for use with rudder pedals, using it w/o them causes several issues...

    Yeah, I'm afraid you'll need to, at least, use a couple of keys on the keyboard for steering.  AFAIK, the reason the TBM doesn't auto co-ordinate is because the ground steering is code driven.

    Well, that solves my riddle, guess I'll just have to invest in a good set of pedals.

    Can you post a video of what you are experiencing.  I was watching a stream last night, and everything was fine, including taxi.  

    No video but a simple description. First I don't own rudder pedals on my sim set up. 

    Most all other planes auto coordinate rudder and ailerons. Turning on the ground is accomplished as if I was banking or turning in the air.

    But with the TBM I experience very little turning, so my turning radius is huge, easily 10 times what is should normally be.

    This was developed and they had input from one real pilot. It will be great if we can get this in the hands of few more pilots who can provide a 2nd opinion. I followed all the instruction, fine tune my equipment  and my ground handling/take off/landing got better still I find it very hard to believe in 2019 a real TBM 900 aircraft handle like this.  One thing for sure I will avoid flying in a real TBM 900 if all this is true.

    I always thought it was my computer set up that caused the ground handling issues. Mine lacks rudder pedals, so I auto coordinate my yoke and rudder, which has caused issues with other planes in the past. 

    I personally believe the developers did an amazing job with the TBM, they are just constrained by the sim environment. The MU-2 is another example. I've flow those in real life too and its nearly impossible to replicate the actual aircraft to a tee in the sim. Now Tom came very close, but he's still working within the confines of LR XPlane.  

    Im very grateful they continue to develop amazing aircraft for this sim. 

    But yes the real TBM is a very nice bird to fly.

    I honestly don´t think it could ever get that close.  There a number of limiting factors in the sim and with hardware (and just to mention the side-skidding of tires on concrete in X-plane is pretty bad.)  The one thing I'd say is that I couldn't find any real world incidents of a TBM exiting the runway on landing or takeoff roll nor did I see any talk about a TBM's ground handling being difficult in any articles I read.  And not all RW TBM pilots are great pilots and, yet, they manage to keep it on the pavement.

    I recently flew left seat from Orlando Florida to Muncie Indiana in a TBM for a new buyer, the real TBM is heavy but handles very well during taxi and takeoff roll. 

     

  6. either that or lots of top secret work happening.

    That's always been the Modus Operandi for developers in the SIM world since, well since I first got into it around FS95 or so... maybe its a computer thing and not just a Flight SIM thing. Maybe that's simply the attitude amongst all developers.

    I dunno, but its always been that way in the SIM world.
