My TBM Doesn't Load Passengers

[SHaines]

In my new TBM900 v1.1.12, when I complete the payload, either selecting one of the set load percentages or selecting items manually I close the payload window then close the doors. I then look into the aircraft and am surprised to see no passengers when I had loaded three. Also I see a male copilot instead of the female I had selected. While this last behavior strikes me as poor social correctness I am more concerned that a) I am doing something wrong or b) the aircraft software has a defect. Usually it's "a" but in this case I cannot see any error on my part. I have read and followed the UIG carefully yet I still cannot seem to get passengers to load properly. Adding to this discomfort, when I am inside the airplane with the doors closed all passengers including myself disappear. That is most unfortunate. 

I appreciate anyone who has a cure for these conditions. —SH
