[Gizmo64 version 21.02.05.0315 crashes TBM and Saab]

Does anyone have any idea why gizmo v.21 ... crashes all xaviation airplanes ? I also cannot even find the latest gizmo software to reinstall. Log.txt

[SAAB 340A 1.6 Nose steering and starboard engine no start issues]

got it: 1)  .... on the ground steering i never had hydraulics pressure up enough since i only had one engine running and i was stationary ... not actively taxiing .

2) ... got it on the right engine .... was able to start only on first time when loaded ... .after that cannot find that "detent" position .... 

hopefully work around comes sooner than later 

Thanks!

[SAAB 340A 1.6 Nose steering and starboard engine no start issues]

I am probably missing something stupid here but after upgrading to 1.6 i cannot turn the nose steering for taxi and start starboard engine to save my life. Port side starts fine but no go on starboard. I am using integrated checklist procedures. The previous version was working just fine. Thanks for the great airplane!

[Fuel Tank Switches and others are not switching]

Thanks for the reply. Somehow the issue just took care of itself. LOVE the airplane; probably the best in my hangar that works most of the time including autopilot functions. 

[Fuel Tank Switches and others are not switching]

I am running BN2T on two computers (one at the office ... one at home). The one at the office (both WIN 10's) is fine. On the one at home most of switches are not switching; fuel selectors, Bat/Gen selector, Starter switch. They move with my mouse input but not staying on ... immediately reversing to initial off position. Any ideas?

[engines cut off on take off?]

Yep, my bad, i was firewalling the throttle like on underpowered piston ..... all good. now. 

 

[engines cut off on take off?]

Hi, there ... nice airplane. For some reason my engines are cutting off on initial climb out within a minute or two after take off. I am following checklist that came with the airplane. Am I missing something stupid? (the fuel pumps are still running when engines flame out). 

Thanks a bunch!

[TBM cockpit dimensions]

wow, it looks great! Will be building similar dash. I will go from the size of 15 inch touch monitors that i will use for the Garmin's and go from there to build around for the other avionics. I can totally use your overall draft as a template. Since replicas G1000's are pretty pricey i will use the pop outs from the 3d panels on touchscreens to operate garmins and perhaps build up controls based on Arduino boards and such. 

[TBM 900 v1.1.11 Update Released!]

Hi guys and happy holidays!

... been flying TBM for couple of versions and for the most part could handle finicky starting procedures ... yoke power/mixture assignments even though always wished for a simpler power controls management scheme. This new version keeps getting up on fire when loaded with "engine running" option. I already gave up on those instructions trying to start it from cold and dark; just cant afford patients and time-wise  to keep monkeying with those instructions. It seems it always flooded or something and needed a dry run to get rid of the fuel residue. Now it is saying "you can start it with throttle open" ....   I am using CH fligh sim yoke on win10 and 11.41 version (or whatever the latest version of xplane). Gosh just wish in this new year for starting up procedure that is working for once and always on that plane that otherwise is a very very good plane. 

good luck everyone 

[TBM 900 v1.1.4c Update Released!]

flying on 11.32r2 seem fine until flare on landing at 85 knot speed the plane started climbing and eventually stalled nose up. No steering helped. It looks like mine own piloting even though before it wouldn't raise the nose at that speed.  Usually it just settles hard onto runway if I am coming to fast. Now not sure what is the stall speed that I need to get to on landing. had only 45 gallons in each tank.

[TBM 900 v1.1.4c Update Released!]

weird behavior: works on my office desktop Xplane 11.31.c and does not on my home desktop same version of everything? 

Failed: C:\Users/Igor/Desktop/X-Plane 11/Aircraft/X-Aviation/TBM-900/plugins/X-TCAS/win_x64/X-TCAS.xpl. (The plugin refused to start by returning 0 from XPluginStart.)

[Throttle Click Spot Issue]

Your question was not simple.  You said the instructions were for the XP10 version of the TBM.  We never made it for XP10. 

Sorry i assumed documentation came from Xplane 10 manual; the font and the color in some instructional windows looked like it could have been Laminar Xplane 10 product. My bad.

I guess the answer to my question is no; no way  to move the lever to condition side without a mouse? It is ok; the airplane still the best out there.

Another questions is; the instructions are a bit unclear on page  36-37 of start up procedures: The Warning sign says "after introducing the fuel never abort using abort position on the starter switch..." and below on the same page and the next one it says "... if starter and ignition messages are not extinguished .... disconnect the starter by switching to the Abort position." One of the statements is not right then? 

exact quote from pages 36-37 below:

" WARNING! After introducing fuel, NEVER abort a start using the ABORT position on the STARTER switch. Doing so can severely damage the engine if fuel combustion has started, or lead to a tailpipe fire on a subsequent start if fuel vapors have accumulated in the engine.

Having gotten the engine up into the low idle state, we can proceed to complete the starting procedure by preparing the aircraft for taxi:

1. Having reached 52% NG, verify that the STARTER and IGNITION messages are extinguished. If not, manually disconnect the starter by momentarily moving the STARTER
switch to the ABORT position."

Thanks,

[Throttle Click Spot Issue]

6 hours ago, RobW05 said:

From the quick start manual which came with the plane:

To move the throttle in this mode use the mouse, or use the following X-Plane command actions (bindable to a key or joystick button):

sim/engines/mixture_up (aka “Mixture rich a bit”)

sim/engines/mixture_down (aka “Mixture lean a bit")

 

Don't know why you think the instructions are for xplane 10. The plane didn't exist back then. 

The instructions look like instructions for Xplane 10;  the font, the color etc. As for your quote i tried to bind those commands to buttons on my joystick but it does not do anything.  I use throttle quadrant from logitech and it does everything pretty much but the conditions features. Only the mouse can move it. is there are work around it? the airplane is the best in the x11 world otherwise.

[Throttle Click Spot Issue]

I don't have Carenado plane; there is nothing to be confused with. How about substantive answer to simple question; is there are assignable (working) command for moving from flight mode to condition side? Mouse use is pain in the butt .... 

[Easier tunning HDG and CRS]

Amen, that and throttle assignment to keyboard or joystick are not working in Xplane11.

[Throttle Click Spot Issue]

I just bought the plane and even flown it from a to z however cannot assign any keyboard or joystick command to move the throttle from power to feather/condition side. Instructions came with the plane are all for Xplane 10. We are in 11 now. What gives. I am not in any hurry to move to dorktual reality mode yet. Thanks for your wisdom in adbance
