I had this same issue and spent many hours trying to fix it. Engaging the autopilot caused instability and yoke ocillations. Disengaging caused severe pitch ups and ended in stalls and complete loss of control. I tried everything suggested and even uninstalled and reinstalled the aircraft. I finally realized that I was fighting the controls at anything other than low speeds and tried turning off the “simulate control stiffening” in the airframe manager. This fixed everything, and now I can finally enjoy the airplane. I should add that I just bought the aircraft yesterday, so I’m not sure if this is a bug with a recent version. I only saw two people report this and wanted to share my experience.

I'm pretty sure the IXEG doesn't have a "wear & tear" feature, so you would need to enable random failures in the X-Plane failure menu if you want something similar.

Press FPL - use outer FMS rotary knob to highlight waypoint - press CLR - FMS outer rotary to highlight the option to delete WPT - press ENTER For other functions of G1000 : Max Trescott book , downloadable official TBM 850/900 Garmin manual , Laminar G1000 manual , bits and pieces on Youtube are decent resources especially for the more complex functions. But G1000 is not easy to master.

Sorry if this is a bit off topic... but I think that it's a pity that there was no greetings about Xmas and new year...the IXEG Dev team and its community really deserve this since we got so much by the Team with the 737 and for all support... so...Merry Xmas (I'm a bit late..I know...sorry for that) and a great 2019 to you all and your family

Nothing to worry about... fly with the mask on. LOL! I don't know what happens in the sim... but if you tried it in real... flying with a cracked pressure hull... you could suffer either explosive decompression if something suddenly goes... or at the minimum... suffer a crack that leads to a negative pressure situation despite the ability of the pumps to overcome... If you'll recall... that's what happened to the "Ghost Plane" incident... also known as the South Dakota Lear Jet Crash. Basically, they had some kind of failure in the pressure hull... and all the air was sucked out through depressurization. As a run of bad luck, the plane had just been serviced... and as a part of that servicing, the maintenance crew shut off the valves that provide the bottled oxy to the pilots and the passenger masks. When the pilots recognized the hypoxia (hence why we all need HA training to fly an actual TBM)... they put the masks on... but the oxy wasn't flowing. They had no way to put the oxy valves from off to on from inside the aircraft (a defect that has since changed). At about 75% oxy... that was it... they all giggled their ass off from nitrogen narcosis... then passed out... then literally went into brain death... As a consequence... the plane flew along at FL 390 and was intercepted by the US Airforce when they became non-responsive. The CAP found the plane on course, unresponsive to their commands (visual and radio), and the windows were all frosted over from the decompression... Bottom line... you crack the hull... it's game over in real life. Thanks to HS/LES - all you do is repair the sim and you're GTG. Real life - total hull loss... plane would be worthless if the pressure vessel cracked...

For now, it's a well earned rest for both of us, and Cameron. We're still working on other fixes, but not at the pace of the last week. We've had discussions about future projects, and we work very well together, to the point that it was my pleasure to be involved in this project. Take from that what you will. But for now, speaking for myself, it's time to spend more time with my family and my daughter.
