We appreciate your feedback and support! Enjoy these latest updates, and stay tuned to the forum as we continually announce the latest happenings.

Amazing speed on these updates thanks X-Aviation

That is often not enough to actually disable a plugin. The enable/disable checkbox is a soft request from X-Plane that the plugin can ignore (and many do).

Saso....you´re awesome! Now i have smooth (around) 30fps on my "low end" system. (i53550 @ 3,5GHz, 1060GTX 6GB, 8 GB Ram) I just did a short test and i don´t know how rain & icing will effect the frames. But it´s a completely "new" experience! I wanna thank you and you´re team for working so hard to get your customers satisfied. You are setting high standards now with quality of the airplane, quality of support and help!! The TBM is far the best spent money in flightsimulation!!!

Yes Guys Awesome job on this update, an absolute joy to fly, very Impressive. Thanks for your hard work in the updates!

OMG!! Best update ever seen on all addons. Previous Update did nothing for me, but this one... From 30fps to 60fps in 1200p at the same place and I can put on Synthetic vision ( -5/7fps) before it was -15fps with Synth Vis on. Thanks for resolving issue so fast.

Thanks guys!! I've been enjoying the aircraft since Sunday. I've not run into any issues. The level of attention to detail is just extraordinary. Kudos to Hot Start!

Thanks, all! I know I speak for both Goran and Saso too in saying that. Enjoy the latest update!

No promises, but I've started to work on a PFPX TBM900 profile. Don't know when and/or if I'm gonna be able to finish it though.

Hi Guys, I'm real world flight instructor, an airplane owner, and flight sim enthusiast for many years. I've been dreaming for a long time for developers to take on depth of real life systems, environmental factors and cost driven maintenance aspects. TBM 900 surprisingly have exceeded any my expectation in this regard! Basically your product draws many simple "eye candy" addon aircraft I own obsolete and uninteresting. 900 is both: educational and challenging to fly (properly), which gives a great purpose of flight simming. Even with some expected bugs during initial release TDM provides an impressive display of addon craftsmanship, and set benchmark for other serious developers. . Keep up a great job and thank you for the excellent product!

Hi, I absolutely love the plane! The details (like open caps when refueling or screws etc.), the handling, system depth and the best TCAS radar tested on IVAO . Also wonderful support from the team of very talented people Cheers

Perhaps unrelated but I was having CTDs too after periods of use and then I realized that my page file was really small so I set the minimum size to 16GB and max to 24GB (1x and 1.5x installed memory) and knock wood but since then my crashes have disappeared.

No, the engine can be started with the AUX BP off, this just increases wear on the engine-driven high-pressure fuel pump.

That's something we noted last night and we'll be changing that in the next update.

2Fat2Fly , I'm not an expert by any means . I've had a very quick look at your log.txt . My observations which may or may not mean anything . You have a fair few plugins and the Terrain Radar Utility isn't always behaving , have a look at .txt the file to see what I mean about 1/ 3 and again 2/3 of the way down. Not every error message ,or failure to load ,causes problems but if you want to try before the devs find a solution for you I would disable all plugins unrelated to the TBM via the plugin menu as a starting point and see how it goes.

Absolutely amazing update! I'm finally able to fly this beautiful plane at decent framerates. At ORBX Great Britain South (and UK2000 Cardiff) I got somewhere between 45 and 55 FPS in clear weather. Which means I can finally lock it at 30FPS again for butter smooth flying. And which also means this plane went form one of the heaviest planes to one of the best performing planes in my collection. Amazing! Thanks for supporting this plane in such an amazing way! You definitely set an example for other add-on developers with both the quality of the plane and the great support you're providing. Keep up the good work! My specs: i7 4790K, 16GB RAM, GTX1070, multiple SSDs + 7TB HDD for ortho Still works for me, so guess indeed your fault? ;-)

You're pretty much spot on there. My specs: i7 6700K GTX980ti 32GB RAM

Alienware Aurora R4 Intel Core i7-8700K 11GB GTX 1080 Ti 16GB 2933MHz DDR4 Initially, I was getting right around 40 fps with dips in the 20's but since 1.0.5 I'm getting a solid 60.

Difficult question to answer. But I do have 3 installs of X Plane on my PC. non-beta with plug ins. Non beta vanilla install and beta with plug ins. What I found was, if you can run a clean X Plane comfortably, you will have no problems running the TBM. There are some plug ins out there that can drag performance down significantly. That's why it's sometimes a good idea to remove them all, and put them back, 1 at a time, to see what plug in is causing the performance hit.

very nice! an update a day keeps the pilots happy :-)

Great! Since the initial release, my framerate has doubled. I couldn't be happier! :-)

No. You may install straight from the latest. No need to go in steps.

1.0.5 is a fantastic update, very nice frame rates. Thanks for your hard work! Chris

Couldn't agree more. I' ve been running X-plane for more than 20 years and I've never seen anything like the kind of support we are witnessing for the TBM900 . Its what 5 / 6 days since release ? In that time CTDs, frame rates , have all been analysed and solutions offered .At all hours of the day and night. Amazing. Kudos to all involved.

Wow! ~15 more FPS than 1.0.4 and ~25 more FPS than 1.0.3. Nvidia 1070 8gb / 16 GB RAM / I7 4790 Windows 10 / nvidia version 399.24

There is so much I want to say. But let's make this quick: thank you for this great aircraft! I will log many hours in the next few days

Yes.

These developers are as smart as Zibo, and that's saying a lot.

Nice - I am going to try that. I second the original poster though. Since the dawn of flight simulation there is always a way to start cold and dark, systems reset. But you can have both worlds. My suggestion --> Add a "Reset State" button somewhere for the pilots. Therefore if you want to always keep the last state, you never press the Reset button.

Probably many already know this. There is now a TBM900 profile on SimBrief ! Derek Mayer is an amazing developer, worth supporting

I know, not related with PFPX but there is now a TBM900 profile on SimBrief !

For control assignment try rudder trim right / left as in any aircraft

One of the reasons that ask is that when I watched Catstrator streaming, his landing gear failed on the first flight, which seems unlikely if we are all starting with a well serviced and new aircraft. Q. What % chance is there that something will go wrong? Not everybody has unlimited time to set up a flight and then restart every time something goes wrong that they are not trained to deal with. Add something like Pilot Edge into the mix and my hands are full with navigation and communication and I do not relish the added stress of a random failure every flight that I haven't been trained for. I respect your decision and would love to learn how to fly this work of art but with limited time to fly, I would also appreciate the option to turn failures off. I strongly feel that that should be an option for those of us with limited time to fly, otherwise what should be a pleasure will quickly turn into a chore and will not be used as much as other payware that are more stress free after a hard day at work and then an evening with the family.. Thank you, Toby

We are actively investigating this.

There is an iOS and Android app called TBM Performance. Its the best source I know.

and i'm loving every minute. The plane and its craftsmanship, both 3D modelling and programming are seriously on another level. This has set the new standard right across flight simulation...

Hey @skiselkov Right now I have trouble using the CSL in X-Ivap because its not centered. I can change the vertical offset, but there is no longitude/latitude offset available in X-Ivap (IVAO) as far as I'm aware. So is it possible to export the TBM CSL again? But with the plane centered on the grid. By centered I mean like in the provided screenshot. Thanks! -edit- One more thing I forgot to mention. The grid surface inside blender also translates to surface/ground inside X-plane. At least for IVAO. So when putting the wheels on top of the grid, doesn't require a vertical offset inside the xsb_aircraft.txt. If you need testing of the CSL for IVAO let me know. Glad to help

Use the 'M' key to bring up the map, then view frequencies there when zooming into airports.
