All customers who have purchased the TBM 900 up till now have been sent an e-mail by X-Aviation with complete instructions on how to obtain your update. We have made this a very simple process! For those that purchase the TBM 900 from today forward, your purchased download will already be updated to version 1.1.7 for you. What if I didn't get the update e-mail? If you did not receive your update e-mail don't fret! X-Aviation has updated our system to allow all customers to update with ease, regardless of whether you received an e-mail for the update! Here's what to do: 1. Login to your X-Aviation account here: https://www.x-aviation.com/catalog/account_history.php 2. Find your original TBM 900 download and re-download the file. It will download as the latest version! The following is a list of additions/fixes included: What's New / Changed: Improvements / New Features: Implemented waypoint VNAV constraint entry via the keypad numerical keys. Dropped WXR resolution to get more performance and more realistic "grainy" radar look. Implemented rain, ice and HUD rendering in VR. All sidebar drawer buttons are now available in Plugins menu for enhanced VR usability. All windows can now be opened natively in VR. Reorganized plugins menu to make it more logical. Bugfixes: Rain effect compute shader would misbehave when camera was far away from aircraft. Legacy rain effect would misbehave when sim was paused. Fixed crash when using multiple monitors on Windows. Fixed deadlock in synthetic vision code causing the terrain not to update and sim to hang when SVS is toggled. Handle the case when minimums are set to 10,000 ft and the number goes outside the PFD box. Missing tire_skid_speed_mtr_sec broke XP11.26 compatibility. Fixed dark outline around windshield due to bad stencil masking in normal vector computation. Copyright on MFD should show build year. Build OpenGPWS with Garmin audio, not Honeywell. Don't allow overflowing the approach minimums value. Disable all GL arrays before starting effects rendering to avoid crashes when arrays are left enabled by external code. Refined gear brake failure messages. Added check for O2 refill to only allow it to be done when the tank isn't full. Fuselage & gear leg repair buttons shouldn't be available when the parts are ok. Fuel caps shouldn't be auto-closed when the user reopens the payload manager after leaving them open. Added crash sound when the aircraft falls on the tail or nose. Moved headset audio source position to right seat cushion to match visual model. As always, thanks for being a customer with X-Aviation. We appreciate your feedback and support! Enjoy these latest updates, and stay tuned to the forum as we continually announce the latest happenings.

I absolutely want to get this implemented, yes!

Same here. Blinking menus, windows, etc... like crazy. Never before today. Latest updated drivers, rebooting several times, and this only happens with the TBM , after the today´s update. The other planes load perfectly. :-( (Even with the sickness of the blinking, I managed to load a rainy weather situation to admire the windshield effects. I love them.)

I should precise that this happens only when AOA is up.

> Settings and change Reflection Detail from minimal to low, Ghislain found it. Same for me, and minimal fixes the problem on my "original" installation too.

Can you try rebooting your pc and see if that fixes the flashing. Thanks!

Hello, sry but must confirm now about that flashing left panel and also other windows opened (Vatsim XSB, also f.ex. PFD window if opened) when AoA is rised. Never before this issue. OM-ICO

I am REALLY sorry to be asking you this, but I have to, so we can isolate what is happening. Can you install a completely clean copy of X-Plane, no scenery, no plug ins, nothing. JUST the sim, on another hard drive (if you have the space), and then install the TBM ONLY into that, and see if the problem persists. I sincerely apologize for making you jump through hoops, because this is not what you paid for when purchasing the TBM, but it will really help us find out the cause of a problem only a few of you have.

That was all Saso, Ben Supnik and Sid (the latter 2 are from Laminar) Saso's work ethic is next level. When he see's a problem, he attacks it with a vengeance.

Here is a video, hope it works... I'm on W10, GTX 1060. 117flashing.mp4 Log.txt

1.1.7: This side/menu bar flashing phenomenon starts when AoA device is on/up and stops when it's is off/down (for me at least).

Just updated the GPU driver, didn't fix it. Single monitor on a GTX1080Ti. Happens in fullscreen mode as well as windowed mode. Attached the log file, hope it's the right one. Log.txt

The controls are "blinking" at about 1hz. That includes the x-plane menu, the TBM side menu and also the little cross in the middle of the screen. The main simulation is not affected. Only happens with the TBM.

Yes, this very thing happened to me and making exemptions in defender works. Michael.
