Congrats on the release looking forward to trying it out

[CJSouthern]

Thanks for all that you and your team do Cameron - I appreciate it.

[aerox]

Excellent work guys, glad to have the ILS working .

Just one tiny, little thing ...... the AoA indicator, when I lift up the screen, displays the coloured bars in the PFD. 

I'm running a Mac OS, Catalina (still), latest version of XP.

[Goran_M]

@aerox  Just saw that.  I'll note that one down.  It's likely a Mac issue, because I have the same thing and I'm running a Mac.  From what I can tell, Windows users are not seeing this.

I have a lot of planes in XP, but the TBM is the best. Thank you very much for this.

[C1cc1a4lCu1o]

Good job guys, thanx for your service!

Hello TBM 900 team,

I received the email, Yessss !!! I will install it and be able to fly with the TBM 900 again.

Our customers will have had to wait several months but the list of improvements seems very professional and for that it takes time, so BRAVO. So, I'm leaving you because my TBM is waiting for me at the GA parking lot at LFMN.

Cordially

Hi Cameron.  Here's an odd Mac thing.  On Catalina 10.15.7.  The installer stayed in the dock after it was quitted, and it would neither restart from the icon, nor could I "force quit" it!  That's never happened before - that I can remember, anyway.    Actually, it may be connected to the fact that the installer did not seem to connect to your server when it asked for my login details (which were inserted correctly), but it just hung with "next" grayed out.  I cancelled that installation and then started again.  That second try connected instantly, but it did sit there for a while before doing the Gizmo installation.  The whole installation went fine, so no problem.  Unusual, but there you go.  That installer closed normally, and it's dock icon went away, stilll leaving the first one there.   I could not get rid of that icon, and I couldn't even see the process in Activity Monitor.  The Mac would not restart, because it claimed I had to quit the installer, but it did shut down normally (after a bit of a wait), and everything was gone, of course, when I rebooted.   The joys of software :-)

First test flight with the new version and everything seems OK. ILS approach with latest Navigraph navdata whitout any problem.

Also raining in LEMD and I could see the water drops in Vulkan.

Thanks a lot for the update!

Best regards,

Dani

Hi Cameron!

I received your mail.

Thanks a lot for the update. Really nice! TBM is the best, in GA.

I appreciate. Good Job! 

Kind regard,

Manuel

Great job by the Team well done

[Mindyourstep]

O dear, I tried loading it five times. Four times directly from X-plane menu: Immediate CTD before loading;
Fifth time, first load scenery with default Cessna, then load TBM9: Immediate CTD.

Attached flies are X-plane's Log.txt and the mac os x crash report.

Further specs: Mojave 10.14.6 on an  iMac Retina 5K, 27", end2015, 4GHz i7, 32GB, AMD Radeon M395X 4096MB

(no "TBM900_Log.txt" because of early crash)

-->

Log.txt  

-->

macosx_crashreport.txt

edit: The 6th time I repeated loading the Cessna, then disabeling plugins: Terrain radar, World Traffic, WorldTrafficRadar, XRAAS
to check out if multiple TCAS-using plugins might be the culprit. Result: with all those plugins disabled also: Crash to Desktop.

All the best,

I didn't even think it was compatible with Mojave.  I could be wrong.  Was it running on Mojave prior to the update?

If so, try getting rid of Skunkcrafts updater.  That thing causes more problems than it's worth.

Our guess at the moment is this is probably the issue.

With the way Apple works, it's a rock and a hard place at times with Xcode and how they force developers to "drop" old versions of MacOS. Your OS is long in the tooth. I would consider at least upgrading to Catalina.

Hello,

Just updated to the new v.1.1.13 and no luck to get it working. I had CTD while loading and decided to uninstall it and re install it and now the issue is that it stays in the screen attached. I had to close the program . I am also attaching the log file. I restarted and started the SR22 and no issue at all.

Hope you can assist me in finding a solution as this is the BEST BIRD ever !

Best,

LC

@Lcperu

Seems to be related to a custom scenery pack. One of them has an insanely long name in the airport name, and it's causing this to hiccup. You'll need to narrow down which scenery pack it is. Best way is probably to:

1. Re-name Custom Scenery to Custom Scenery_Bak

2. Create a folder named Custom Scenery

3. Manually move each scenery pack over till you find the one causing the issue

Hi, 

First, thanks for this update. Good work, as usual.
But I can't activate it. It says "No license for"

 

[Cameron]

Hello @Maverick51,

Please try renaming the following file:

X-Plane/resources/plugins/Gizmo64.plugin/firmware/assets/ca_store/cacert.pem

To: _cacert.pem (adding the underscore).

Let us know how that goes.

[Maverick51]

It was yet named _cacert.pem

I'm trying total uninstall and reinstall of Gizmo plugin and TBM900 1.1.13

That was an oversight on my part. In that case, please re-name it to cacert.pem and remove the underscore.

[Maverick51]

Wonderful. It works. Thanks Cameron. I'm really in love with this aircraft. For me, it's one of the best.

Regards

[Lcperu]

Thank you very much for the reply Cameron, do you know an idea which file could be making the issue. When you refer to an extremely long name , do you have an idea so I can maybe narrow it down. 

Best,

LC

3 hours in flight since 1.1.13, works very well, great update, good job!

[zeroblu3]

Thank you so much for this update. Your TBM 900 is the only plane i fly in X-Plane i love it can't go back to anything else.

I have a few little question regarding this new update.  1. Do i have to delete the current state of the airplane and start a new one (does it create conflicts with the old state)

2. Is it now possible to read AIRAC data directly from the Custom Data folder without overwriting the X-Plane default data?

Thanks again for your great work.

Best regards
