    @Goran_M - Thank you for the update. Your team is doing great and you all have been good on responding. I think many here appreciate your support. Even outside of the TBM community, I have heard nothing but positive experiences and praise for your engagement and commitment to fixing issues when they arise. I know you are trying to resolve the mac bug in the new update and I'm looking forward to the fix as soon as possible.

    With that said, two weeks to fix a bug caused by the release update is way too long to wait for the price we paid for this 3rd party addon, this especially unreasonable considering we aren't given the ability to reinstall the previous version. It is frustrating, and unbelievably disappointing. I'm one of the lucky ones because I didn't delete the previous installer. I am a full stack developer so I am more careful about how I manage my version control. I was able to revert back but I still don't get the advantages of an update that addresses previous performance issues, and bug fixes from the last dev cycle. 

    I don't blame your team for the lacking options to obtain an earlier working version of the aircraft. It is out of your hands and I know that. However,  it is totally unacceptable that paying customers who didn't think to backup their files before the update, can't even reclaim a previous working version. I just bought your addon on Cyber Monday, and was only flying the aircraft for two days before updating to a version that broke the model. I would have been extremely pissed if I wasn't able to fly the TBM after updating and couldn't revert back.

     In my opinion, having an option to at least download the previous update is the responsibility of X-Avation and X-avation should be doing everything they can to get a working copy back into our hands.

    They provide a bi-directional distributing service for for both the development teams here and us clients who purchase your product. The prices we are paying for one of the top, if the not the number #1 rated GA aircraft in the X-Plane market community should at the very least include support for a previous stable version.

    The fact X-aviation would even go so far as to deny us an older working version by request is a pathetically poor policy. As customers, we already don't receive a money back guarantee on digital product we may not be satisfied with. Which to be fair, for anyone reading this: That is standard practice with digital products and something I'm not complaining about about but a lot of companies in other industries have other ways to make up for this risk of digital purchase.  

    So, yeah, I expect services such as this to have similar methods to assist us. X-Aviation should do everything in their power to satisfy frustrated customer, especially when there is very little recourse for us when things don't work as expected. Also, (and please correct me if I am wrong) but I have found no instructions or small print advising us to backup our files before an updating due to the fact earlier version aren't available to revert back to.  While you'd think that would be common knowledge that everyone practices, the range of user experience here is vast; not to mention this product is uses an installer which is known to experience fewer issues warranting a backup.  

    Your team is also paying for the X-Avavation service. You are more than likely giving them a percentage of sales to use their licensing protection installer technology, their branding, their digital market platform, and their high standing name recognition within the industry. It only hurts the reputation of your product and development. Not everyone who purchases your wonderful 3rd party add-on knows that you aren't in any way affiliated.  

     I just wanted to share my opinion and my disappointment because I think it is only fair that we ask X-Aviation to revise their version control policy to include the last stable release as a download option on all of the addons sold from this marketplace and maybe if the actual product developers here also make a demand for this, then us dissatisfied customers who payed almost $70 wouldn't be completely screwed waiting around for the fix and instead could at least still use the product while we wait for the fix.   

    I really hope I can update to the newest version very soon because it is upsetting me that I'm stuck with an older version and it is even more upsetting that other paying customer can't use your aircraft because they have no ability to revert to the last working copy and X-Avavation is doing anything to get a working copy into  our hands.  

    Regaudless, thank you for all of your hard work.  It is an amazing addon despite the issue on the newest version.

    REALLY THANKS YOU FOR YOUR POST!

    ABSOLUTELY AGREE!

    Unfortunately, I am one of them who don’t  have backup of 1.1.9. So I can’t use my plane for my $65.

    I am really frustrated and I know it’s not related to Hot Start. But to X-Aviation. 

    I wrote direct message to X-Aviation with an ask for link to 1.1.9 installer so I receive  this really unsatisfying reply:

    Quoting: ”Previous versions are not archived for download on our servers.
    Best Regards,
    Cameron”

    Nothing else.

    I don’t really understand to this policy and I made my own opinion on that platform (X-Aviation).

    I found the problem myself.

    I solved it by removing the RealView 1.1.1 plugin. I removed all plugins and gradually added them back. Now I have 28-45 FPS on TBM900. Will you @PilotNuts or @Goran_M contact RealView author @EgorHST to resolve this incompatibility for future versions of TBM900 / RealView?

    Note: The problem is not with eGPU.

    Hi @Goran_M,

    Have you detected/fixed the error and contacted the RealView developer?

    The same problem, ie. dropping FPS to 5 FPS, is in combination with the xAmbience plugin too.

    Today I accidentally detected the cause of the FPS drop with the xAmbience plugin enabled.

    FPS drops quickly when the Low Idle throttle lever is set during engine start.

    Please, when will this annoying bug be fixed?

    Thanks

    AFAIK X-Plane doesn't support eGPU. Try using onboard GPU and see what the performance difference is.

    Thank you by the update...

    Unfortunately didn't fix the rain effects problem on Mac and/or the AoA. Still the same as long time back.

    Once rain effect is active simulator freezes and when using (trying) AoA FPS drops to 5 or less.

     

    Hello,

    I have the same issues, 5-7 FPS on Mac running with eGPU Nvidia GTX1070, even on clear sky. All my other planes working well so I fly them at 25-50FPS with a settings: HDR, scenery shadows, textures high.

    I found out that low FPS only for TBM900 is caused by HDR rendering in graphics setting. I tried set non HDR (one step back on slider in settings) and I got 45-55FPS. But this setting (HDR turned off) is not acceptable to me due to the cost of the TBM900 product.

    @Cameron Thank you for the amazing plane, but please fix the tragic FPS in HDR settings to make the product worth it!
