  1. @shalem, I remember the default G1000 (GNS430 and 530 too) not been very good on procedure turns. Not sure but you might even need to make the turn by yourself (HDG mode) on the correct direction. You may try a couple of things, first and most important fly the same procedure turn with the Cessna G1000 and see if the issue is there too in wich case its a Laminar issue.

  2. The blur looks good but is a little too much, videos of the real thing are not so strong. From the cockpit view it looks really good. In the external view looks good but as I said a bit too strong effect. From the tower view it looks quite weird. No more is a blur but rather an opaque stream, well shaped but very much unreal.

  3. Yes, key mapping is optional but convenient for ease of access. And the main point is the menus are accesible via the knobs even when the bottom menu is gone, it will be displayed instantly. Of course the cursos must be off (no highlighted text) otherwise the knobs will affect whatever is under the cursor only.

  4. There is no other way, but the menu doesn't have to be visible for the knobs to move through the menu. Anyway depending on the zoom level the knobs are not that easy to manipulate, so my suggestion is to map their functions to the keyboard. I have the outer knob assigned to the num keypad 8 and 9, the inner to 5 and 6. Then you can map menu, fpl, ent and dir to some nearby keys and manipulate flight plans and most of the MFD through keys. Much more convenient in my case because I am using realityXP with head movements, anticipation and so on.

  5. In my experience bottle seems to be used only during depressurization for the oxygen masks wen you turn it on. Otherwise does not see it being used on high altitude cruise so the pressurization makes it for the necessary oxygen.

  6. On reverse you are actualy depleting the wing from airflow at least in real life. The problem is the CG is very close to the main wheel centerline and a slight bump on the runway plus the bouncy front suspension and some backward thrust aplied to the nose all that ends in a wheelie. The front wheel actuay looses contact with the ground even in normal taxi on a bumpy taxyway. I have XPrealistic installed and when I activated the front gear sound effect for touchdown, it tend to be played a lot during normal taxi so I ended up turning it off.

  7. The TBM manual says many times not to reverse bellow 40kt or on snowy runway because of the increasing danger of ingesting foreign objects and damaging the turbine, its not because may pitch up the plane.

    The problem is not the reverse itself, there is something weird with the plane load, or maybe the way XP interprets the loading. In flight I am almost running out of down trim without even loading the back seats or cargo area. That makes the front gear very light on the ground and any small bounce coupled with reverse rises the nose. Not sure if the real thing behaves that way or not.

    Pitch no longer working. TBM unable to take off. Recalibrated my Logitech Extreme 3D Pro to no effect.

    Maybe you should have looked into the TBM log by yourself before asking for help. From your file:

    TBM900[fail.c:932]: Component rudder trim servo actuator has failed due to excessive wear (worn: 100.000000%, slope 1.0). You can prevent this by observing performance limitations and servicing the aircraft regularly in the maintenance hangar

    This is correct.  A full stack means you have a slightly increased angle of attack.  

    This is how it works:

    1 green bar at the base: Optimal AoA

    Full stack: AoA increased by at least 1°

    Disappearing bars:  AoA gradually increasing.

    When you have only the red bars showing, you are about to stall

     

    I know how you think it works.  As the AoA increases, the bars increase.  

    It actually works backwards to that.  It de-clutters as you approach stall, to give you a better view out of the window.

    Quite interesting, without the explanation wouldn't have figured it out easily.

    Just made a short flght on v1.1.3 from ENTC to ENSH on XP 11.30r1 in the 3D cockpit. Made a new airframe just to have a fres start just in case. Other than being able to push the DUMP button through the glass protection haven seen anything else remarkable Everything works as expected including the throttle stick. No suspicious marks on the windows, icing looks great, heatblur and double contrails add new dimension although blur is a somewhat strong for my taste.

    Thanks for the quick fix Goran_M and team! :D

    Did you follow my guide on operating the Power Lever (clicking and dragging on the left half moves it forward and backward.  Clicking ad dragging the right side moves it left to right)?

    Yes Goran, sorry was just trying what you said and yes it works as you pointed out, just have to grab the Lever on the left side or on the right, I was trying to grab it mostly in the  middle. Thanks for the quick responde!
