  1. Merci bien, Jean - je l'essaierai tout de suite! Antonio P.S. En passant... merci de me renseigner sur les commandes usager que je ne connaissais pas ... évidemment je n'ai pas bien lu le manuel d'utilisation du FlyWithLua. Excuse-moi de mon affreux francais, pas d'occasion de le practique ici aux EEUU.
  2. I am slowly adapting my five-screen sim (triple 65" Oled outside displays, Brunner yoke/rudder, etc) to the TBM900. I started by creating the Master Warning/Clear light/button on AirManager. The "tbm900/lights/cas/master_warn" (and corresponding "_caut") datarefs described in the "DataRefs+Commands.txt" file that came with the package work like a charm, but the "sim/annunciator/clear_master_warning" (or the corresponding "_caution") COMMAND does not seem to do anything. Is there perhaps a "tbm900/switches" family of commands that will clear the W/C annunciations? Interestingly, if you bind a keystroke to "Indicators>Clear master warning" in the keyboard options settings tab and press that key, THAT works...! Can you "press a key" in lua? Looks like an X-Plane problem? Has anyone been successful clearing the master warning from lua? Thanks, Antonio logic.lua
  3. Guys: I was having problems getting the pop-up windows (Payload Manager, etc.) to show, and here's how I solved it - permanently. I have a rather ambitious setup, with three 65" LG Oled monitors driven by a single GTX 2080 Super for the outside view (65 deg offsets), plus two smaller (26" and 22") touch-sensitives driven by a GTX 1650 for Air Manager. Though the LG's are 3840x2160 native (or 4096x2160, depending on who you ask...) I run them at 1920x1080 to get a respectable 40+ fps with textures at max (I found that is my personal key graphic parameter). Try that at higher reses and you run out of graphic memory (!) I have the C-172 and the C-T210M running like a charm (two charms...) with the Brunner yoke and rudder making the experience un-freakin' belivable (I fly a P46T in real life). Then I installed the TBM900 and, like you, could not get ANY of the pop-up windows to show: the left-hand hiding selection buttons did (e.g. I could get the GPU) but not Payload Manager etc. After a lot, and I mean A LOT of trial and error, this is what worked for me: 1. In Windows, disable ALL THE DISPLAYS EXCEPT ONE (I chose to remain with a single 65" LG). Start the sim (11.50 with Vulkan enabled - what a difference in fps!), go to graphics preferences, and select "display default" as the resolution of the one and only X-Plane display. DO NOT SELECT THE ACTUAL RESOLUTION (in my case 1920x1080 - I'm not sure if this is necessary, but "display default" sure works for me). 2. On that single-display, cleanly-defined resolution setup, check that you can open all the TBM pop-up windows, and that they all FIT NICELY WITHIN THE DISPLAY. If not, shut down and restart X-plane (I even shut down and restarted the computer several times during the process, to make sure I had "fresh" set-up data each time). 3. Gradually re-enable the other displays in Windows and the respective screens in X-Plane (maybe you can do all of that in one step, but by doing it one screen at a time, I got the whole thing to work). Check that the pop-ups are still there and are the right size. Done! I think what happened is that when I first fired the TBM900 with my existing configuration, where I had been experimenting with higher resolutions (ran out of Graphic VRAM) I must have left a hornet's nest of X-Plane and Vulkan settings that confused the TBM when it first started, and sent the pop-up windows to never-never graphics land. Anyway, so far so good. A couple more notes on using the TBM900: I very highly recommend Ch. Cole's mixture.lua FlyWithLua script. Works like a charm and is actually very realistic, especially in combination with a home-made (3D printed) throttle "gate" on my GoFlight throttle quadrant. Now, if I could just find the correct commands to clear the master warning/caution indicators... the "tbm900/lights/cas/master_caut" dataref mentioned in the DataRefs+Commands.txt file that came with the airplane (and companion _warn) seem to work OK, but the COMMAND "sim/annunciator/clear_master_warning" (notice it's a "sim/" command, not a "tbm900/" command) doesn't do squat. So I cannot clear the masters from Air Manager. Ideas, anyone? Antonio
  4. Cameron, I hate to be a problem customer, but I have a new problem. If I select the aircraft for a flight, X-plane tells me it can't find a certain airfoil (see screen shot). Any ideas? Tnx, Antonio E.
  5. Indeed it did! I have a (gulp!) 4096x2160 screen (read: 4K) so I keep the general magnification to x1.25 - set it back to 1.0, logged off and on again to restart the W10 GUI and the installer worked. Cameron, I am impressed by the speed of your response, and even more by the speed of your diagnosis ( I guess the missing bottom of the pane was a dead giveaway, eh? Lucky I thought of adding the screen shot...) Tnx, Antonio E.
  6. Hey guys. I'm having trouble installing my recently-purchased CRJ. I assume that (under Windows 10) after you unzip the download, you run the setup-windows.exe executable. But if I do that, when the Bit Rock installer asks for my email address, it responds with the error message "You need to specify a value." Just in case I downloaded the zip file again - same results. What could I be doing wrong? Thanks all!
