Gregg Seipp Posted April 1, 2019 Report Posted April 1, 2019 (edited) Can we have it to where, if you start the sim with your gear handle in the up position that the aircraft ignores it and just loads the aircraft in whatever state it was at last load? I loaded up my sim and I guess it detected that my hardware gear handle was up and raised the gear of the aircraft. Ugh! EDIT: To rub salt into the wound, I stopped the sim, made sure the gear handle was down. Restarted it and the aircraft spawned in, again with the gear up and dropped the aircraft, causing it to catch fire. It was hysterical...hysterical and annoying. What? We didn't destroy the plane the first time? Hold my beer. Edited April 1, 2019 by Gregg Seipp Quote
sqrt(-1) Posted April 1, 2019 Report Posted April 1, 2019 Isn't this one of the reasons to check your controls? The TBM is after all a study-level aircraft. This is not to say that I haven't made the same mistake myself. I learned from it, though. Quote

One wonders what would happen if you did that in the real world. Quote
RobW05 Posted April 1, 2019 Report Posted April 1, 2019 Strange, I did that intentionally once to test my landing gear lever switch assignment and nothing happend. Maybe theres more to it in your case. Quote
Gregg Seipp Posted April 1, 2019 Author Report Posted April 1, 2019 Out of spite, I gave my new airframe the same registration. I mean, if we're going to be meta.... Quote

Hold my beer. @Gregg Seipp If you have this problem and want to reset the situation without having a repeat of the same issue do this: Go to your X-Plane 11 folder, select the Output folder, then select the TBM900 folder. Within them TBM900 folder locate the state folder and delete it. Restart X-Plane and your TBM should restart with the aircraft not on fire, nose gear up, wing tip on the ground, etc. Hoping this helps! Dwight 1 Quote
