AirBadger Posted October 20, 2018 Report Posted October 20, 2018 The panel state persistence is very cool, but I'd appreciate the option to override it to reset the panel to a cold and dark state. Thanks. 1 1 Quote
juanquivilla Posted October 20, 2018 Report Posted October 20, 2018 +1 to this. My X-Plane has crashed twice already and it is a bit annoying to have to reset everything manually as if the plane magically parked itself after a crash (also, ITT temps, and other things make it a bit more challenging). Learning process for sure! But would be nice to have a cheat button to reset everything, specially after a (software) crash. Quote
Japo32 Posted October 20, 2018 Report Posted October 20, 2018 (edited) +1 but for sure, love the persistence. Just that button to click when crashing xplane Edited October 20, 2018 by Japo32 Quote

Yes, per my original post, I clearly understand that concept - but there are circumstances where it would be nice to reset everything to a default state. 1 1 Quote

I think though the point of this aircraft was to simulate it as best as possible. I get your point and we are each entitled to have desires and opinions but from what I get about this team is fidelity is king. 1 1 Quote
acuba777 Posted October 28, 2018 Report Posted October 28, 2018 sure, cold and dark is a MUST for sim! exactly fo reason, that this is not a real aircraft, where you never have CTD just because you were scrolling on MFD... Quote
Architects Posted October 28, 2018 Report Posted October 28, 2018 As far as realism rules, I agree that a button on the menu that resets the plane to "cold&dark" or even one for "ready to takeoff" is a good feature in a sim. You can choose to use it or to ignore it. Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Quote
Prophet Posted October 28, 2018 Report Posted October 28, 2018 Guys, Whilst I can hsrdly believe i am writing this, as all my other aircraft are set to start running ready for takeoff on a runway. I have to disagree. I found it frustrating at first but i have really got into the start and shutdown routines. If there had been buttons i would always have used them, and missed out on the enhanced immersion which start up etc brings. My vote would be leave it as it is. 3 Quote

Leave it in cold & dark, you'll have it cold & dark next flight ;-) 1 Quote
Floater Posted October 28, 2018 Report Posted October 28, 2018 I have not checked the temperatures, but start the getting started tutorial and x out of it give you at least a dark TBM Quote
Pawel D. Posted October 28, 2018 Report Posted October 28, 2018 I'd like to have C&D option too. It's not that we don't want to leave our aircraft in that state, but sometimes you are just not able to. Some people have CTD, but there are a lot of reasons not to finish you flight. Quote
skiselkov Posted October 28, 2018 Report Posted October 28, 2018 We will be adding a Cold & Dark option to the "Flight Recovery" screen in a 1.1 update. This means that if you interrupted your flight, or the simulator crashed, you can still restart the flight cold & dark and fresh. However, if you landed and parked the aircraft, you will be forced to properly shut the aircraft down, just as in real life. We're trying to make our simulation both a study tool (and in real life you need to do these boring but necessary procedures) and at the same time a fun experience (so if a sim crash occurs, we don't want to penalize you for it). We believe the Cold & Dark option on flight recovery will be sufficient to cover all the cases where we see our current system as having shortcomings. 3 1 Quote

This is exactly what I was hoping for. The realism aspect of this model is what separates this TBM from other, otherwise well done, payware aircraft. Edited October 28, 2018 by sqrt(-1) Quote
cpuwolf Posted October 28, 2018 Report Posted October 28, 2018 always keep your aircraft on the ground before you leave you aircraft, I really love this idea. it forces me to take flight simulation seriously 1 Quote
