Adjusting the Pilot seating position and static/hash noise with rumbling


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi everyone, Just bought the TBM-900 on the weekend and I'm really enjoying it. have a question regarding whether it's possible to adjust the seating position in the PIC seat so that when I glance out the left window I can see the wing. Simply adjusting the FOV makes no difference. I'm using a Mac OS Catalina, XP 1150. 

Just wondered if anyone else here has done this? I should be able to look out the window and see the wing. 

Also, I didn't notice this over the weekend, but when I opened up XP and loaded the TBM today, there is a strange rumbling sound with an overlay of static - well, sounds like radio static. Putting on the headphones loses the static sounds but not the rumbling. I've checked that all switches are off, no power on at all, checked maintenance records  - nothing to indicate why this sound should exist. Is it just me or is this normal? I don't think it's ambient or outside world sounds as closing the door makes no difference. 

Any suggestions to the above two matters is greatly appreciated.

position yourself in the cockpit and press CMD (numpad number) to assign a position.

Then when you went to move to that position next time, press the numpad number only.

As for the sound, not sure what that could be.  Check the audio panel and make sure something on there isn't turned on.

Thanks Goran, that helped - there's still a lot about XP 11 that I haven't used or wasn't aware it existed, so you never stop learning. The radio hash thing and rumble, when I fired up XP and loaded the TBM is when this occurred, but after updating Live Traffic and the Zibo 737, then loading up the TBM, the noise is no longer there. No biggie but it's sorted.

Cheers.
