Xpillo Posted November 4, 2018 Report Posted November 4, 2018 I have a question about the updates ... can I go back to an earlier version if I upgrade to 1.1? What type of condition has been removed? --->Removed HDEF condition from GPS-> LOC switchover. I do not find anything concerning this condition HDEF
fog Posted November 4, 2018 Report Posted November 4, 2018 Hi! Just a short question: any progress with the terramax issue? Freddy

When on a programmed ILS approach, the aircraft initially flies in GPS mode, then when inbound to the final approach fix it will switch over to LOC mode and start tracking the localizer. Prior to 1.0.9b, we used to have a condition there that the horizonal deflection (HDEF) of the CDI had to be less than 2.5 dots before automatic LOC tracking on the autopilot would be enabled. That condition was causing trouble, as the G1000 would sometimes switch to LOC mode before less than full CDI needle deflection was detected (happened on very steep turns to final - around 90 degrees). So we got rid of that condition. It's not realistic, but it's the only way to work around this bug in the underlying G1000 simulation. 1

gcbraun Posted November 4, 2018 Report Posted November 4, 2018 Any idea when VR windshield effects will be fixed?

Martin_1970 Posted November 4, 2018 Report Posted November 4, 2018 Hi, was there a specific reason why the 1.1 is renamed to 1.0.9b ? Do i have to reinstall the aircraft? I loaded the package when it was named "1.1". Another question generally: The payload (persons and baggage) isn´t stored to the next flight? Just not implemented? Is there a list of conditions, what must be done, that the aircraft is recognized as properly shut down? regards, Martin
Xpillo Posted November 4, 2018 Report Posted November 4, 2018 (edited) Solved autorouter.aero …. Edited November 4, 2018 by Xpillo

Mistake in publishing, the update should have been named 1.0.9b from the start. 51 minutes ago, Martin_1970 said: The payload (persons and baggage) isn´t stored to the next flight? That is by design. When the flight is complete, the passengers get off the airplane. 53 minutes ago, Martin_1970 said: Is there a list of conditions, what must be done, that the aircraft is recognized as properly shut down? The conditions are simple: the sim has been properly shut down (i.e. not a crash) and the aircraft is stationary.

Short flights are ok, but on longer flights my frames drop from 25-30 to mid tens, unflyable. Restarting the simulator bring my frames back up.

I've checked it since version 1.0.9 and 1.1. Seems to work just fine: Also no freeze on sim exit. The freeze is indicative of a connection issue or a very slow connection. The chart loader tries to download the chart for 5 minutes before giving up - if you quit the sim during that time period, it can block on the background thread to finish. 1
2Fat2Fly Posted November 4, 2018 Report Posted November 4, 2018 (edited) Hi, Has the issue that breaks saved status from earlier versions been fixed, so I can safely update the plane without loosing my progress? Regards, Fengyu Edit: Sorry I just read the changelog again and found out that it has already answered my question. Anyway thanks for the quick fix! Edited November 4, 2018 by 2Fat2Fly

I checked my internet speed and it was very slow hehe, I have 300Mbs hired and in the speed test it indicated me 145Kbs. Thanks you Edited November 4, 2018 by Xpillo
gmargodt Posted November 4, 2018 Report Posted November 4, 2018 Guys, you are really doing a fantastic job with all these regular updates. Much appreciated. This plane is the best GA plane available for XP !

CYUL900 Posted November 4, 2018 Report Posted November 4, 2018 Trying out 1.1. A few issues I never had before: MFD is in PFD mode and I can only manage to display a small map in bottom right corner of display by pressing inset. How do I get rid of jumbo PFD and have full screen map like before? Also seems the MFD keypad is unresponsive to data entry when entering waypoints, have no choice to use FMC scroll wheel... Also no wind data and don't see rudder trim indication on MFD.... Could be me doing something wrong...

You have enabled DISPLAY BACKUP mode (this mode is used in case the MFD or PFD fails - it compresses all information onto a single screen and makes all screens display the same image). You should be able to get out of the mode by pressing the red button on the bottom of the intercom panel to the left of the PFD. Aileron and rudder trim indications aren't available in backup mode, only elevator trim.
CYUL900 Posted November 4, 2018 Report Posted November 4, 2018 Indeed. Thank you once again for the speedy reply!
CYUL900 Posted November 4, 2018 Report Posted November 4, 2018 When zooming in and out on MFD map with range wheel there is often long lag before response from display. Something I'm missing???
ChrisU85 Posted November 5, 2018 Report Posted November 5, 2018 Since V1.09 and V1.1 i have after 1:40min a CTD Thanks best regards
pavage Posted November 5, 2018 Report Posted November 5, 2018 I was in icing conditions and looked out the left window and saw this.....something is not right here...I've tried a fresh XP11.30b2-install with only the TBM900 installed. This issue came in v1.1.0 for me. Otherwise since the v1.1.0 update the plane haven't CTD:ed or have had any other problems. Help? :) Best regards
Goran_M Posted November 6, 2018 Report Posted November 6, 2018 When it comes to beta's of x-plane, it's a case of run it at your own risk. For now, the TBM is only compatible with 11.26. 11.3 has brought in a bunch of new features that will break a few things in the TBM.

This white shadow of the aircraft remains visible when moving your head around, especially in VR. Knowing it is a beta, of course I will patiently wait for a fix.
