Goran_M, Thank you for the quick response. I am glad to hear that. At least the installation I did worked. I have been a flight simmer for years and this is the best single engine turboprop add on aircraft out there. Keep up the good work!!!!!!! Chuck B.

Greetings, I have been flying the TBM since it was released and absolutely love it. I also have had almost no issues. I recently purchased a new computer with all the bells and whistles including a Nvidia 3090 graphics card. I have 3 SSD hard drives with XPlane preinstalled on its own drive. I installed the TBM and everything seemed to work as it should except for the AOA indicator. It does not display any data. Can someone please help me out with this issue? I have to add that this is the first time I have had the need to install programs such as the TBM using a custom install. In the past all my programs were on the C drive and using the default installers never gave me any problems. For someone with limited computer knowledge such as myself, life was easy and mostly trouble free. Because X plane is on its own drive, I was delving into uncharted waters given my limited computer expertise. I kind of a winged it with the install of the TBM and thought everything was OK then I noticed the AOA not working as it should. I would sure appreciate any advice here. Thanks in advance and Merry Christmas to everyone.

Cameron, Do we have to delete the previous version before installing the new version? If I remember correctly don't have to delete the old version but I just want to make sure. Thank you, cbreeze

+1 Invite please

Jakob, Thank you for the response.

Greetings, I hope this isn't a stupid question but has anyone tried the TBM using the new XPlane experimental flight model?

Thank you!!!!!!

Actually I don’t have rudder pedals nor do I use scripts. I simply mapped a button on my joystick and have had zero issues.

It’s the best add on I’ve ever seen for a flight sim. Just bought the Aerobask DA 62 and though it’s a very nice airplane I am spoiled and still prefer the TBM for all it does.

I haven’t had this come up in quite some time now.

Thank you for posting.

Thank you for the great update!!!!!!

Thank you both. XPlane updated along with the TBM. Works great!!!!!

Ok, been holding off updating my TBM due to all the issues I’ve read here. I’m still on a very early version and have not had any issues to speak of. I now think it’s time however I’m confused on the correct method. I’ve read you have to do that before you start XPlane. The two previous times I updated I did it by starting XPlane then clicking on the TBM update available box you get after XPlane is running. I understand I will have to update XPlane too and also ready to take that step too. Can someone tell what is the correct method? Thanks in advance.

Actually I’m using the Thrust Master T16000M joystick. This is probably the best joystick I’ve ever owned and I have been simmimg for many years. I have no problems you just have to tweak the settings.

Unfortunately I’ve been through several airframes for various reasons. The experience I related in my previous post was the first malfunction I had with any of the airframes.

Climb to a safe altitude and extend the gear manually making sure the gear lever is in the down position. The procedure is in the manual. Will take quite a few pumps of the extension handle in the floor. Recently happened to me and that’s how I got my gear down and landed safely.

I’ve gotten this message on occasion myself. It displays at the top of the screen and not anywhere in the aircraft. When it has displayed I simply checked to make sure everything is right with my ECS and then turned on and adjusted the heat or air conditioned and the error message went away. I’ve gotten it on the ground and in the air. Anyway, that’s been my experience. cbreeze

Couldn’t agree more.

Perhaps Hot Start will surprise us with a TBM like twin

Greetings, just wanted to add something good about the TBM. I am still running an early version with XPlane 11.30 and have had zero issues. I just purchased ASXP and using the default cloud textures. Haven’t experienced icing yet or any real failures. Had some nasty weather in my area yesterday so I took a IFR flight and went looking for trouble. Flew from KMDW to KGRB. Got in the clouds and about half way to GRB I started picking up occasional icing. It was really neat to see it form on the airframe and then watch the boots remove it. The icing was sporadic as it is in real life. As I was executing the GPS approach down to minimums I lowered the landing gear and had a malfunction. I really didn’t expect that. Executed a missed approach and once at a safe altitude got the gear down and locked with the manual gear extension lever. Did the approach again and landed safely. I was totally blown away by how impressive this aircraft is and how well ASXP worked with the default clouds. I have a commercial, multi-engine and instrument ratings. That experience was pretty realistic. Even though it’s a sim I try and fly as I would in real life. The approach in itself was a challenge and the unexpected gear failure at a bad moment increased the pressure and started to get overwhelmed. Did what I would do if it was actual and it worked out. just wanted to post something really positive about the TBM and thank the devopers for creating such an amazing aircraft. When it works it really works. I really have no desire to fly anything else. cbreeze

They pretty much thought of everything

Glad to be of assistance. Bit of a learning curve with this aircraft especially with the G1000 but it’s an amazing aircraft and absolutely joy to fly once you get the hang of it. cbreeze

First thing that comes to mind might be a leak. Go into the maintenance manager and see if there are any issues that need repairing. Hope this helps, cbreeze

Thank you, that’s what I thought.
