@AirbusFTWThank you so much for posting these. I've been struggling to figure out what to use the magneto switch for on my Alpha and your mappings are very helpful. I use SPAD.next rather than the Honeycomb profiler. If you're OK with this, I'd like to translate your your mappings into SPAD.next snippets and share them with the community. I will, of course, cite your original work and include a URL to your original post above (assuming that URLs are permissible in the SPAD.next descriptions).

Just installed the 1.2.3 hotfix and my popover panels are rendering properly again.

Thanks for the tip @BlackBird_GR. I had time to reinstall the CL650 but it didn't fix the issue. I still have the 1.1 version of the installer kicking around but I don't know if that will get me the .png files or not. Might just convert the .dds files for now.

Just upgraded to the 1.2.2 build and fired up a quick session to finish activation and make sure everything is fine. Noticed immediately that my Autopilot and Overhead panel popups are now just blank grey windows. No graphics at all. Tried closing the popups, exiting the sim and restarting to no avail. I do notice that the CL650 log is complaining about missing files so perhaps a re-install is called for? Log.txt and CL650_Log.txt attached. Log.txt CL650_Log.txt

Welp! I finally got this baby started and off the ground once. So my new benchmark time to beat is 3 days. I have also started up from cold and dark a few more times but did not taxi or takeoff so I'm not counting those. Trying to get comfortable with the startup and shutdown procedures first. Figured I post though so that others will know that no matter how many minutes it takes them, they won't be in last place in the speed standings.

@MuchimiThank you for posting that very detailed description. I found it incredibly informative.

That's what that icon means! Thank you. Another day, another item learnt.

I'm at 2 days and counting. Still haven't left the ground. My baseline time will leave plenty of room for improvement.

It's part of the Windows Power Toys which you can grab by following these instructions: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/powertoys/install Thanks for the tip about Borderless Games. I'll take a look at it. To get rid of the title bar, I just created my FancyZone drop zones to be a just a little taller than the bezel image so that the title bar gets hidden.

If you're on a Windows machine, have a look at FancyZones which is one of the tools included in Windows Powertools released by Microsoft. You can create custom zones across all of your monitors and then just hold the SHIFT key when you drag each window. When you drop it into the zone, the window will automatically size itself to the defined zone size. It's not as convenient as having a .cfg file that automatically restores your windows to their specified location and size but it's a decent work-around until one is available. P.S. Nice setup!

May I join as well? I have purchased both the TBM 900 and the CL650.

I know I'm late to the thread with this reply but a co-worker of mine owns an SR-22 and I confirmed with him that there is no taxi light. If you need a light while taxiing, it's the landing light.

Wilco. And let me thank you for your patience with me. Especially after my little tantrum earlier. So far, I've re-installed my addon aircraft: HotStart Cirrus SR-22 G1000 AFL C-172NG SimSolutions DA40NG (which adds the xJet plugin) All is good so far. Will start in on the actual plugins next. Edit1: Have now reinstalled: DataRefTool FlyWithLua XPRealistic X-Camera So far, the overlay graphics are still fine (although I have to disable X-Camera when I run the tutorials in order for the automatic camera moves in the tutorials to take effect. But I think that's somewhat expected behaviour). The only graphics related plugin I have left to restore is xEnviro but I'm going to leave that out for now because I'm not sure I really liked it anyway. So on the upside, the problem hasn't come back so far. Time to start putting my custom scenery back in place.

OK. I have uninstalled X-Plane, deleted all related folders and have re-installed X-Plane. No plugins, no add-on scenery, no add-on aircraft other than the TBM900. At this point, the overlay graphics are displaying correctly. I'm assuming the next step is to start adding my scenery and add-ons back in one at a time to see if any of them trigger the overlay glitch again? The list of plugins I was using is as follows: Avitab DataRefTool FlyWithLua (with only a "Mixture" script to control the TBM feathering PilotEdge SPAD.next Traffic Global X-Camera xEnviro (having trouble with this one so I may not re-install it anyway) xPilot XPRealistic Is there a particular plugin or set of plugins you want me to start with first?

Just about ready to give up on this. Downloaded the supposed X-plane demo installer but it wants a product key to proceed. And since I have the Steam version, I don't have a product key. There doesn't seem to be any option to install the demo version and I can't progress past the "Enter a Product Key or Insert DVD" step. As much as I love the TBM, this is starting to become too much trouble to figure out.

I can do that. Forgive the obtuse questions but if I download the demo and install it (on a separate drive from my current X-Plane Steam install), do I need to take any precautions to prevent this second install from stomping on any registry entries or configuration info from the first install? And will I need to uninstall the TBM-900 from my Steam install in order to properly install it in the demo version?

I have the Steam edition so I'm not sure it will allow me to install a second instance. I was hoping to avoid having to delete and reinstall X-plane but I'll look into doing that if all else has failed. I'll have to spend some time exporting my profiles and backing up stuff first though.

Removing all plugins (except for Gizmo) has no effect. The problem still exists.

I have XPRealistic (which can shift the camera view) and X-Camera installed. I've disabled both (using xOrganizer to disable the plugins before launching X-Plane) and still have the issue.

I'm at a loss at how to fix this. Certain overlay graphics in the TBM900 (e.g. the Angle of Attack bars or the demo arrows that point at instruments) are being drawn in the wrong location. For example, in this image, the arrow should be pointing at the InternalLights panel: And in this one, it should be pointing at the fuel system controls: I've tried disabling all other plugins (except for Gizmo), uninstalling and reinstalling the TBM900 and running a "Verify integrity of game files" scan (I'm running the Steam version of X-Plane). I have no idea how to fix this. If it was just the tutorial arrows in the wrong place, I'd not worry about it. But it's the AoA markers as well so I'd really like to figure out how to fix this.

Thanks very much for all your hard work. The scenery looks fantastic!
