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."

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.

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.

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.

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:

Yes.

And you don't know if this is really you "fixing" a new product, or a bug Laminar needs to take care of. You're blaming before knowing everything.
