TBM 900 tail strikes itself when you reload the flight with broken prop


Recommended Posts

Today, as usual, I've been practicing in trying to find new and creative ways to break the TBM 900. Long story short, I botched a mid-air restart and broke the propeller. Then I did a nice and clean forced landing, came to a full stop and immediately (without going into maintenance manager) restarted the flight to reposition myself on a GA ramp. When X-Plane finished loading, the TBM 900 immediately tipped over and tail-striked itself, breaking the pressure vessel and screwing up my maintenance log. I reproduced this several times, then went into maintenance to replace the broken prop and on the next reload the problem did not reoccur.

Not sure how "severe" this problem is in the grand scheme of things — just thought I should report it.

We've seen this happen sometimes, but not often.  The best thing to do int hese cases is simply slew the aircraft to a different location.  We think it's something to do with the scenery tile info.
