Hey @Goran_M quick question m8... with the above comment. Are you speaking of an addition the TBM team has added to the G1000 or what is offered in the stock LR G1000? Asking because of the stuttering and a couple other issue with the G1000 the effects even other aircraft using the G1000. I'm going to remove it and see for myself but just wanted your input as well.

Hey @coolhand great job on this... Here's just an idea, would you be able or willing to break this up into pages? Would be great to be able to use this in the AviTab plugin.

Same here... Running both the latest version of the TBM (1.1.9) and .33r2 version of XP. I'm actually getting some of the best performance so far... Loving this plane!

To really help you out more we would need a lot more information... finding and attaching your log.txt file would give us that info.

Could be .33b1 causing your issue or one of the many plugins you are running. I would suggest rolling back to .32 stable... Most developers won't/don't support Beta installs. See if that fixes the issue, if it doesn't you should next remove all of your addon pluggins except for ones that come stock with XP and the Gizmo plugin. The devs will ask you to do that anyway. After removing all of those plugins see if the TBM will load. If it does then you will at least know if it is either the Beta or plugins causing it. Then maybe try the Beta(with out all of the plugins) again and see if that was the issue. If it works you could try adding in plugins one at a time to see which one could be causing the issue.

I've had not one problem with the TBM no matter what version I've had. Most issues are mostly do to it not playing well with a random plugin or another. As for updating... Download the installer and run it, that's all you need to do. But I guess you can update it will XP is running but you'd still have to restart XP anyway so...

I use the same flight stick... But have the peddles, but the same with a little tweaking I have no issues keeping centerline on takeoff or landing. And I agree with you, the T1600M is a really solid setup.

Brett landed at Wings... Love that field! There's a great little ma & pa sandwich shop about a 10 minute walk from it called "We're On a Roll". They do a really good smoked chicken salad sandwich!

The dots on the buttons wasn't ever offered as a stand alone mod... It came with a few liveries that @Razor94 did and posted over on the Org... All you need to do is download one of his liveries and take the "overhead.png and overhead_LIT.png's from one of them and place them in to the objects folder of the TBM livery you want them to show up in. Works really good.

New users and rough landings most likely and not checking the maintenance screen before each flight. I'm still on my very first air frame I started when I got the TBM... I've not had one issue or emergency with it. Coming up on about 150 hours(with accelerated wear active) in it with the most money spent on oil changes, left gear, left brake work. Crosswind landing tweaked the gear when I landed.

Yep... Once you are positive you are going to make the runway the checklist says Throttle to Flight idle and fuel selector to OFF. That's an expensive OOPS...

Did you remember to turn on the pilots O2 doing your after start checklist? Now you have me wondering the same thing. This would of course what you mean by "flying on high throttle for a long time (~30 minutes)?"... Did you have any of your %'s in the yellow or red? At FL310 depending on the OAT you would be looking for a cruise torque setting of 80% to 85%. Higher than that you see your NG% gong into the yellow... Followed shortly but your ITT. You should use this site to help plan and do your flights... It's numbers are nearly spot on in XP.

Considering the starter runs for about 50 seconds for each start... 2 minutes of use would only be 2 starts and some change?

Truth right there!

There has been a lot of changes made to the TBM between 1.1.4 to 1.1.8... 1.1.5 - Couldn't find the post 1.1.6 - not much in the update other than making synthetic vision a little less frame rate hungry. 1.1.7 - Seems to be more of a VR update and a under the hood for systems. 1.1.8 - Was a very small bug fix update so... But like @DwightP980 said with out a little more info there's really no way to tell you. Things like full system specs, scenery an kind of scenery, plugins, anything new you've added and so on. Everything you add to XP has the potential to eat away at frames. Have you tried removing all of your plugins and custom scenery and see if you get some frame rates back? Try deleting your shades and preference files and let XP rebuild them... Might help. Not knowing your system specs but your AMD Radeon R9 M395X's low clock speed and VRAM cloud be playing a part in it to.

I don't think by it's self... Has to be either a lua. script doing something of WT3 and how it's setup. I run WT3 and the only plugin have that you are running is HeadShake, I don't have AI popping up unless I turn on WT3. Can you do a short flight see if you can get it to happen again? Post the log from it... Can't hurt

Ya... I pays to read the whole manual and all of them for that matter...Look on pages 5 & 6 section 4 in the UIGuide.pdf that is included in the TBM900 install folder. This is part of the "Airframe Manager"...

I am inclined to side with @Goran_M on this along with quite a few other issues user have with the TBM are system specific... The TBM has been rock solid for me since 1.1.4 and every update it gets a little better! And I run my fair share of plugins, mesh and scenery both pay and freeware and just about flawless on a ok system. Just did a 2 hour flight from KVDF to KGPT and no stutters frame rate loss or anything, VNAV was spot on all of the way down to approach. Love this plane!

Sounds like you didn't do something right then... Have run into icing conditions on 3 separate flights now in the TBM. One of then was from 16k down to surface with no problems.

Since I've started fly the HS TBM... I find myself hoping I run into icing conditions.
