This is a permissions issue on your Mac. Please see the other topic you created about this for more.

If one still has the XP 10 installer from diligently backing up their files then all will work fine. As stated, we no longer carry such installer on our servers.

We're still investigating this one. It's a bit elusive, and I think it's somewhere in TBM code, just don't know where. I thought we had perhaps found it in the last update, but doesn't appear so.

I've never once heard this before from anyone else, so I'm honestly at a loss on this one. We don't store passwords in a human readable format, so I can't even help you on that level either.

I wouldn't really call my response to the topic you're discussing on another site as defensive in nature. It was more informative and clarifying, as well as confused by the statement by the poster that real sounds was a concern for him. Yes, the sounds were recorded with professional sound equipment in a real TBM at multiple angles owned by one of our beta testers. The sounds are directly tied to your X-Plane sound settings. You'll probably want to adjust that volume setting to get results you desire. As a whole the tbm is not an insanely loud aircraft inside. That's a selling point to the product in the real world. Steveo is actually a friend of mine as well. I've discussed this numerous times with him in person.

Not yet. We do have plans for this at a later update.

Sorry, I don't know what you're referring to. I'm assuming you mean the Activation Successful message in the upper right? Simply click anywhere on it and it should go away.

You must use the installer. You do, but it will still only count as one activation since it's tied to the same machine.

You're welcome! We're glad you enjoy it!

It might not seem like it sometimes! Just want to echo some words posted by @skiselkov on the TBM discord channel: "With this update we're concluding release week and barring any massive explosions, we'll be taking a short break from the daily updates. Expect the next update to drop some time at the end of next week or two. We've got stuff planned in the pipeline that'll require more than a day's work, and I'm sure your fingers were starting to bleed from having to type in those login credentials so often. Of course, we're not going away or anything. We'll still be around on Discord & the x-pilot.com forums daily, ready to answer your questions and address your concerns."

It will download as the latest version! The following is a list of additions/fixes included: What's New / Changed: Very large poly reduction in cockpit. Cut another 50,000 polys off the model without loss of visual quality. Brake left/right hold commands were broken by axis logic rework. Put those back in. Implemented datarefs to show aerodynamic flight control loading, control position and neutral point. Flight control aerodynamic load was being incorrectly computed from instrument-indicated airspeed. Toe brake handling in partial axis assign situations is all wrong. Added thrust loading to flight control aerodynamic loading. Added notification about the MAN OVRD lever with engine shut down. Added notification about flooded combustor. Made exterior walkaround clickspots hidden when inside the cockpit. Added radar self-test sounds. Added new internal main door lock/unlock sounds. Turning off autopilot on XP11.30 caused a crash in yaw damper handling code. 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.

You're welcome!

Sounds like you have not ejected the dmg on your Mac from the previous installer 1.0.6. Gotta eject those dmg's!

This will not be changing. And, as Saso has mentioned, the update frequency will soon tone down. In the grand scheme of things, this is a really simple thing to be complaining about. Just enjoy the plane and not the 30 seconds of cumulative time it takes you to do those tasks.

Hello All, This will serve as a formal forum announcement that we have released the version 1.0.7 update for the TBM 900.

The following is a list of additions/fixes included: What's New / Changed: Massive VR usability enhancements courtesy of SimVRlabs. Yoke & throttle now directly VR operatable. Also changed a ton of click spots into VR-friendly ones. VR walkaround. Just teleport around the aircraft and remove engine covers, toggle GPU/chocks, pitot covers, static wick covers and static port covers. Added prop governor damage warning when selecting reverse with engine shut down. "Aircraft not activated" regression now finally fixed. Oil was wearing out way too quickly. Retuned to expected real-world performance. Added missing "brakes hold regular effort" that got lost in the brake pedal refactoring process. Fixed crash due to zero-length runway confusing synthetic vision code. 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.

If it were easy do you really think we'd be here?

This video made me laugh pretty good. The camera looking around movements are hilarious enough to tell you had a very "WTF" moment there.

Aye, it's been a long week. Evidently toto had some people have it that I was unaware of when I pasted in the changelog. Anyways, still stands about his post I linked!

I *think* this is associated to the random activation issue we are seeing in 1.0.6. We are currently working on a fix.

No changelog mentions fixing such a thing, and I've never heard of this from anyone except TerraMaxx users till today. Please see the following:

Only three posts up from yours:
