  1. Thanks I’ll check that out
  2. Hi I have had a couple of X-plane 11 crashes today. This is the logs from the latest crash. I can see something went wrong at the bottom of each one but not sure what they mean. Flight was from KBUF to KACK, FTL 26 flying above thick cloud. I was getting between 18 and 20 fps. Also not sure if its anything to do with the crash but earlier in the flight I got a warning indicating X-plane was running low due to the windscreen visual effects or something to that effect. Also Windows did an update last night, whether that's got anything to do with it who knows. Thanks in advance for checking this out. Log.txt TBM900_Log.txt
  3. Hi All, just wondering if anyone else is having issues with ATC not working. The box opens, can setup flight plan but can not thr Radio frequencies don’t work.
  4. Hi, still a bit frustrated with ATC still not working properly after latest upgrade for X-plane and the latest version of 1.1.6. The box opens up you can create a flight plan but nothing happens when you click on the frequencies.
  5. Ok fair enough but it said everything was ok in maintainance. I could understand if it was in poor condition.
  6. Hi, for some reason my 900 will not increase to full RPM. I check the Maintainance Manager it says everything is ok. It’s only recently a new air frame. Flown about 26 hours. It starts ok but sits around the 970 mark at 100% TRQ. Please any ideas much appreciated. Ok I fixed the problem. Might be one for you to look at Goran. Everything in maintainance said it was new but I ended up replacing the prop and the prop governor. Might have only been the governor but not sure how it got damaged as the last flight was fairly good.. Also the autorouter doesn’t appear to be working..
  7. I ran X-plane with FS Global Weather today with no hitches. I had turned off, for some reason, in X-planes Weather System, automatic updates. Resetting back to this seem to make issue go away.
  8. Hi Goran, only real weather connector. Also I run FS Global real weather.
  9. Flying at FL12, about 20 minutes into the flight, went to change the barometric pressure back to 2992 on the backup HSI and Xplane crashed. Included both logs. Thanks for taking a look. TBM900_Log.txt Log.txt
  10. I’m using the latest XPlane 11 and latest TBM 900 ver. I tried to use ATC but it would not function. When I clicked on the line, it flickered but would not change to it’s appropriate function. I guess someone will look at this. Not sure if it’s a TBM issue or XPlane.
  11. Hi I had an experience the other day where I did not finish the flight so I paused the sim and put my computer into Hibernation overnight. Next day I restarted the computer and got back into Xplane. I found that it does not pickup the state from where you left it. I ended up blowing the engine because it wasn't working when I restarted the sim. I suppose in some way you can't do that in real life so why could you do it with the TBM.
  12. Hi I upgraded to the latest version. Restarted the computer as I always do after an upgrade. Flying the TBM from LOWI to EHAM when I decided to load the charts for EHAM. When I clicked on the STAR button XPlane 11 froze. I could move the mouse but screen/ cockpit frozen. In the end just had to hit the button in the “ wait for program to continue or exit the program”. I’m still on the TBM 1.1.4 version, is there an update after that? Also Crashed again while deleting flight plan. Log.txt TBM900_Log.txt
  13. Hi just wondering in XPlane 11 are there any add ons that make the concrete and runways look wet when it’s raining. It always looks dry. Thanks in advanced for any replies.
  14. Hi, this is no major but since maybe an update the SD Card flies towards the door rather going back to the slot from where it came from. It used to go back there in the past.
  15. Hi I know this is not a major but noticed with probably a later version that when you click on the exit icon of the SD Card it now flies out the door instead, as it did in the past, go back into the SD slot on the panel.
  16. Hi what if you place your throttle up to about 30%. Just surprisingly that it goes to reverse straight away, I thought a key needed to assigned to make it come through the gate. Have you assigned a command by any chance for this function that is automatically allowing this to happen? If you have take note of it and delete it then try again. Just a thought. Cheers
  17. Hi, I have CH Throttles, I have blown my engine quite a few times. The mouse controls the 900 Fuel Cutoff/Low Idle to High Idle. When the mouse turns Horizontal then it moves through the gate over into the Power/ Taxi section. Once in here your throttle can then be used to go from Low Power to High Power. If you want to go into the Taxi Range, a button or switch can be assigned so you can transition from the Power to Taxi range. Make sure your battery is in good condition if you start on battery without GPU. Just follow the Startup procedure, Fuel Pump on, Starter for 2seconds, once 13 % on NG move Lever, via mouse, from Fuel cutoff to low idle. Once stableized move lever to either High Idle or to Low Power/ Taxi Range. I know this can be frustrating getting to know how this aircraft works but it’s well worth it. It is a fantastic aircraft and well worth the time to get to know it.
  18. Hi, I was wondering if there was a Hobbs Meter in the 900. I have looked in the Cockpit but to no avail. If not, how is the engine time measured? Thanks for any help.
  19. Hi sorry I did post the same question, i posted it again because i thought i should have done it as a new topic. I have tried to open from outside but no click spots. The only only step I am missing is how to get into the cabin. I can turn around inside the cockpit, unlock the cabin door but from there I can only zoom forward which doesnt really take me into the cabin. I cant seem to find any views that take you to the cabin. Hopefully this bt of info can help. I have just read the reply from my other post. What buttons take you into the cabin. Thanks for your help
  20. Hi im having trouble getting into the cabin. I can not open the Saab cabin door. I have looked at page 46 in the system manual. I see how you open the door once you are there but how do you get there. Do you need some other camera plug-in. Any help would be much appreciated. Cheers Brett .

    Taxing

    Hi in regards to taxing in Xplane, I get quite a bit of brake squeal or tyre screeching when turning in the Saab 340. I might have got some in the Beech 1900D as well. It seems to happen if I try to turn too sharp too fast,although not very fast at all. I have CH pedals that I have pulled apart a few times to repair broken wires. I have noticed that when i have looked at the configuration tool for the rudder pedals the rudder centre is off to the left, say 65,35. Is this normal, i have tried altering the rudder trim lever inside the pedals but seems to make no difference. I have noticed also that when you dont need to push the brakes very hard before you get a screech. Any tips on setting these up better would be appreciated. Cheers Brett Ps I also sprayed some cleaner into the pots aswell. I think it made them a bit better as far as a bit more smoother.
  22. Hi, this looks like an old post but I havent had the Saab 340a for that long. I cant open the main passenger door either. I have had a look at page 46 of the system manual and see how to open the door once you are there. The thing is I dont know how to move from the cockpit to the cabin. Do you need some other plugin im not aware of. Any help would be much aappreciated. Cheers Brett
  23. Hi all. Not long had the Saab 340A installed but wanted to know if there is shaddow casting effect in the cockpit. My cockpit looks dull like the sun doesn't cast shaddows on the instrument knobs or levers. I have seen pictures where the sun shining in the cockpit of the 340 but mine doesn't. If its not supposed to then I can live with it but if its supposed to could someone give me some advise on making this work. My Carenado Beech 1900D has a great effect with shadowing. Would be great to get the same in the Saab. Regards Brett
  24. Hi Goran, thanks for the reply on my last post. Yesterday while flying I noticed every now and then an electric motor sound. It was almost like the landing gear but wondered if it was a trim servo. I think it was more noticable while hand flying than under auto pilot. Still reading the manuals and haven't come across any reference to this at presence. Having a great time learning how to fly this plane. Its a great work. Once again your help is appreciated. Regards
