I can't find anything about this in the POH or model documentation. What is it called? I know what it does but mine doesn't seem to be "on". And I can't figure out how to turn it on. Can anyone tell me?

Thanks for your help.

Hello, This is the AoA indicator and if you are in 11.50bxx it doesn't work at the moment !

We have it working in the beta for the next update, but there are some issues in VR with it.  Still being worked on.

Ok, thanks guys. I have a few more to post so I'll just use this same thread. Be back in a bit with another.

Ok, what is the "CB Light" on the left and how do I see it in action? And what is the thing on the right with the cover?

Thanks.

CB light controls a lamp that illuminates the circuit breaker panel below the right side window. Turn it on then look to your right to see it in action. 

The thing on the right is the Oxygen Mask Microphone Switch. Push the switch to enable the microphone in the oxygen mask.

Awesome, thank you.

I really LOVE how detailed this plane is. And that it's actually difficult to fly! Bravo!

Just a quick FYI, there is a documentation folder with manuals that will answer all your questions.  It'll save you from posting in here and waiting for a response.

Yes, thank you, I know. But it's very incomplete, at least what I've seen. What is the title of the document you had in mind?

[Goran_M]

So far, the answers to your questions can be found in the Quickstart guide.

Thank you, Goran. I must have missed the QuickStartGuide.pdf" and indeed a number of my questions were answered by reading it today. I do have some additional questions as a result, which I'm posting separately.

Edit: Ignore what I typed below as I searched for "cb" in my original search query instead of "circuit breaker."  The quick start guide does address the "CB light" switch.

This plane has great documentation overall, though I would like to  point out that the question about the CB switch is actually not addressed in either the HotStart Quick Start Guide or the UI Guide.  (Nor the official  TBM 900 Pilot's Information Manual for that matter.)  I had to find the answer here and I originally thought that "CB" stood for "cabin" and not "circuit breaker."  So I am very glad that @N265AB asked the question.

Hi 

I'm trying to program a virtual X-keys button to turn off and on the circuit breaker light.

I see the dataref "tbm900/lights/cb/light", but it only indicates the state of the light, and does not appear to be writeable.

Is there a command to do this? I can't seem to find any.

thx. Bob

This is the command for the cockpit manipulator.  It should work.
