PFC PCATD and Hotstart TBM

[wdhurley]

I have an older serial PFC yoke/panel. With it attached, the TBM is always looking at the mixture handle. The TBM just will not start. I engage the starter, and at the proper NG, I introduce fuel via the click spot on the throttle in the virtual cockpit. No fuel is introduced until I push the mixture up on my panel. The ITT immediately spikes and I hotstart/burn up the motor. Without the panel engaged, it works fine. Is there some sort of work around for those of us still using the PFC serial hardware?

Introducing fuel in the TBM DOES use the mixture dataref, so the workaround would be to get rid of the mixture control on the hardware.  That way, it does it automatically through the VC.

The problem is, you can't get rid of the mixture control. PFC always forces their numbers into the sim. It is quite frustrating for modern aircraft that use a fadec system.

I don't have the hardware you're describing, so to make this clear for me, what you're saying is, you can't clear that axis from inside the sim??

But I have one, and we cannot clear the mixture inside the sim, because there is no appropiate option without mixture in the PFC-configuration.

Pls. notice my comment on wd's parallel post on X-Plane: https://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/forums/topic/193088-pfc-pcatd-and-hotstart-tbm/&tab=comments#comment-2104581
So, it results in a software problem, I think, because all 6 pens which are going into the throttle unit are untouched.

And the software problem, I guess, is located on the sim's side, not the PFC-side. But let's see.
Today I contacted Ben Supnik. May he can help and offer a "one throttle" option without mixture into the sim's PFC-configuration.
