• Automatic switching from GPS to LOC guidance on a programmed approach wasn't engaging LOC mode properly

• Switched state timer from microclock to unixtime due to potential problem with microsecond rollover on Windows
• vrconfig with hotspots for walkaround
• Fixed sudden pitch change when AP was engaged with the aircraft out of trim
• Retuned steering constants to make crosswind takeoffs easier
• Lowered minimum PAX weight to allow for children
• Lightened overhead panel textures to look better
• Implemented aircraft reset to Cold & Dark when selecting 'No' in flight recovery or when a new airframe is created
• Increased cloud cover sun radiation decrease factor to not overheat the cabin so easily on cold weather
• Increased cabin surface heat flow rate to cool the cabin a bit in colder weather

• Made negative-G effect of fuel instability less pronounced
• FMS keyboard box joystick move UP should tilt radar down on radar page
• Fuel indicator should display proper inop indication instead of amber XXX
• Added code to detect left-most monitor and display drawer there
• Fixed UI scaling support issues - all windows should now rescale & behave properly with UI size > 100%
• Fixed windows not properly centering on multi-monitor setups
• Smartcopilot compatibility fixes - very early work
• Pushing CWS shouldn't emit the AP disconnection sound
• Flipped default CB light position to be off
• Very short runways could cause a div-by-zero in the runway segment number determination
• Added xEnviro integration to read rain rate.
• High-elevation VORs and ILSes could sometimes fail being received due to signal propagation computation errors

That's an impressive set of fixes!  Will give it a try tomorrow.

Thx for the update :)

If now the stability (CTD) is also improved, i´m the happiest man on earth :)

[XP_Pilot]

Just tried out the new update and the plane does not power up when I lift up the crash bar and turn on the battery...

[Martin_1970]

Hi,

this is because nearly everything is defect (check maintenance). Best is to create a new airframe.

I didn´t figure out if it is due to the update or the new "cold & dark" feature after a CTD.

[XP_Pilot]

Thanks for the reply. Adding a new airframe worked. 

I think the problem is tied to the ESS bus.

Heeii guys,

Thanks for the Update :). But can someone tell me why the MFD Display shows the PFD Display? How can I fix that or is that a bug? That happend since I installed the Update. Than you so much for the answers.

@nikit Thank you so much

Hi Guys thanks for update

1. Scaling issue partially solved. Messages are not visible with scaling 150%. Oxygen mask also has some kind of artifact

2. No sure why I had engine failed in flight (could be pilot error). With engine completely shut down I got a lot of airspeed almost like invisible power was still on . I also had problem decelerating or bleeding airspeed while in power off glide!

 

Still love TBM, did emergency landing AOK

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.

Per Nikit's issue. I had the same thing. After allot of experimentation, I found that my x-plane installation had corrupted. After performing some testing flights today, I too was getting CTD for the first time. I totally re-installed X-plane and this add on only. I have a really good rig and get very good frame rates. I also have 32 GB of memory. What I found was a shocking. A memory leak with this aircraft running my computer out of memory after a certain length of time. This is just very sad to see. The version before this one had no such issue. I'll go back to my 727 V2 for a while until they get this all straightened out.

Update . I started again. Deleted all airframes, created new ones. Repeated my route , and so far (knock knock knock) no issue .

I’m currently on the long haul for 4 hours straight stress test
