Never mind. I fixed it.

I have to admit, ever since the Challenger 650, I haven't been flying the TBM around much, so I'm kinda rusty. That said, I did manage to fly it successfully last week but when I attempted the return trip later that day, the elevator trim was stuck , all the way, in the nose down position. I can't seem to budge it using the trim button on the yoke or the trim wheel on my Honeycomb Bravo throttle. I can get it to move when using the trim wheel next to the throttle in airplane but the trim goes right back to nose down. I don't suppose I need to mention that this is happening in XP11. Anyone have any ideas? Log.txt TBM900_Log.txt

Been so long since I've posted this that I forgot that I even did it. Thanks for the help.

I downloaded a .json file for the the TBM900 What is it and where does it go? Thanks in advance....

Thanks guys. Turns out it was a hardware issue. I needed to disconnect my trim wheel. After doing that, the plane flew as smooth as a baby's backside. Thanks again....

Don't know. My computer is a new Jetline, with all the bells and whistles; including a nvidia GTX 3080ti video card. I do use Active Sky for X-Plane. Could that be a problem? Thanks for your time....

I'm probably doing something wrong but, since the latest update, I can't get the aircraft to hold cruise altitude. I'll be flying along a smooth as can be and, suddenly, it drops or climbs a few hundred feet and the plane spends the next few minutes chasing itself and the passengers scrapping themselves and their lunches off the overhead. Things smooth out and then BANG, it happens all over again. What's going on? Is it the weather? Me? I don't remember having this problem before the last update. Sure hope the real thing doesn't behave this way.

Not sure how I managed to do it but now, every time I start a new flight, I can't seem to get to the FBO (even if I walk away). Instead of "Enter the FBO" I keep getting "FLY" and the plane wants to take off even though It's still on the GA ramp.

Oh here.....let me take that for you. Just curious: Of all the aircraft out there, why the Challenger 650? Not exactly the main stream. Don't get me wrong, I plan on getting one..

Thanks Cameron, that fixed it. I have a 4K monitor and If I don't make text and icons larger, I can't read anything. Forgot to set it back.

While attempting to install the update, I come across a box where it requires me to type my email address (X-Aviation customer purchase validation). I type it in and then a box come up saying that "You need to specify a value" What's that all about? Still running X-Plane 11.41 and no betas. What gives?

The TBM 900 is the single biggest reason why I don't fly Prepar3D any longer! The title says it all! Thanks Toto....you're the man!

Glad we were able to help. This airplane is well worth the trouble.

It works fine when loading a new flight or on "resume last flight" after ending a flight and the aircraft is shut down. Just when loading a saved situation. Go figure.
