It seems the TBM cannot receive the localizer and glideslope anymore. I updated to the most recent version by downloading the installer 1.1.12 again, but it does not work at all. What#s going on here. I have Navigraph, in case that matters.

What is this? A bug? Does not go away.

Just another question. Does it have to be like this?

While I am at it: There are switches that can be dragged (three-way switches like the PACK settings), and there are switches that can't (two-way switches). Trying to drag the latter will switch them simply. This is non-intuitive. You drag down and the switch goes up. If you implemented this correctly, you'd be the first plane that has that feature.

Note that it is even worse: The HDG turns right with the mouse wheel forward, and the ALT turns left. So the "quick solution" that I certainly would have performed, namely to reverse everything, does not work. I know my style of programming errors, :-)

Another topic: Is it possible to switch to the new COM spacing? I cannot tune 123.080, e.g., for ATIS. And I can hear nothing on 123.07.

I strongly suggest reversing the mouse wheel! It is not a matter of discussion or preference. Every other Windows UI uses it the other way around. Please, reconsider. Changing 200 places is not that bad. I did that a lot of time in my programs for even minor errors.

Obviously, I do not understand sounds in the coding of X-Plane add-ons very well. I suspect they are in the code itself.

Where are the sounds stored? The "sound" folder contains only empty WAV files.

Tried 1.1.11. I still fly with trim down all the time (even at 130kts). Maybe that is correct? The trim tab is indeed down at this position as indicated in the system display.

Is it possible to soften the ding sound a bit? It is far louder than the engine in idle thrust.

https://youtu.be/EUiOCj7tVGQ I will do that. See the enclosed video for a demo. Maybe I did some mistake.

No, I am not using the experimental flight model (if that matters).

Isn't the engine sound just very low in the cockpit? If you crank up the internal engine in the XP sound settings and the loudspeaker you can hear it.

I did some more touch and goes. Indeed, I have to fly at 50% down (halfway from T/O to fully down) trim, even at 130kts, for a level flight at 3000ft, just like that Youtuber "clumsy". That sounds strange. Then, I have never flown the real thing.

Do you have a video with the recent version, such as a pattern or a short flight?

I looked for JonFly's videos with the TBM900. The last one was before the update in December. I found one of "clumsy" with the recent version, and he is trimming down just as I described after takeoff.

I can confirm the pitch up after takeoff when the trim is in the takeoff position. It pitches up over 20°, loses speed than down to 10°. One has to cancel the rotation with a mighty push to the yoke. I think there is something wrong with the trim. I find myself flying halfway between T/O and DN all the time, even at landing. I checked on the outside and the T/O position does indeed look like a bit trim up. But it works like fully trim up. A working takeoff trim is now 40% up between T/O and fully down.

I understand your problem. But your bird is the only one that does crash. And the log file clearly states that your exception handler was set to 00000000. Moreover, the crash is random. So debugging the TBM 900 here would be a pain.

I have no AI aircraft, and still get crashes. This plane is not working for me.

Okay, so I have to find my old Github password or create a new account first. Don't think it is worth the effort.

Unfortunately, another CTD of X-Plane 11 when flying the TBM 900. The reason is that "something replaced our exception handler". The only unusual thing I did was work at the joystick settings. Log.txt TBM900_Log.txt

I would like to have the volume softer without changing the radio volume.

Are there any news on the HOLD page? In general, I am not expecting much development with this addon. But maybe someone can find the time to program holdings. Then, of course, you can also fly those manually.

Will there be an update containing this fix? I completely forgot about the bug, and tried to make a tutorial video today with this flight. Of course, it crashed again. I get older and seem to forget things. Paul
