The only set I've seen are these that cost 1800 euro: https://www.brunner-innovation.swiss/product/cls-e-rudder-with-toe-brakes/ This is the one piece of equipment an airplane has that force feedback would be useful for in simming, imo...but, perhaps, not enough to justify 1,800 euro.

This would probably ONLY be a good idea for people with force-feedback rudder pedals. When you taking off, the propwash and other forces causes the airplane to want to turn left causing the left pedal to go down and the right one to come up. You feel that in the pedals and have to press the right pedal to (more or less) keep them even. Force-feedback pedals are perfect for that situation since the right pedal would come up and you'd have to force it back down. Without force-feedback pedals you'd have to guess where that "even" place is....e.g. where the nose wheel is straight. Is it this much right pedal down?...or this much? In other words, it's not any more realistic...you're having to press a pedal down that should be coming up but it isn't because there's no feedback in the pedals. The idea of adding a little propwash isn't a bad one...but a realistic amount would only have you dealing with pedals that are not giving you the feedback the real airplane gives to real pilots.

I've been flying with Traffic Global and haven't seen any CTDs. The traffic doesn't display on TCAS, but at least there's no crashes.

Thanks.

Hi all, I'm still flying the TBM 1.0.9 on XPlane 11.3. Any reason I should hold off upgrading to 11.4 while we wait for a patch to the TBM 1.1.10? Thanks. Gregg

It's blank.

Has anyone tried disabling FlywithLUA?

Everything else works...just that one thing doesn't. Anything I can do? Gregg

I'm hoping the radio selection buttons on the left work in the update.

Press the big red button to the bottom left of your PFD.

I´d like to see an 850. The single-throttle thing is a bit boring. Also, love to see some of the ongoing maintentance stuff be optional. I like the stuff REP does, but I find the current implementation tiresome.

How stable is Live Traffic? It looks like a nice tool but, to me, stability is king.

World Traffic doesn't work. Are there any that do? Gregg

There's a big red button on the bottom left of the left PFD. Click that and it will probably fix it. Gregg

I watched his video. At some point in it he said that he'd never had a hot start in the real plane. I was astonished by that. I *always* shut it down properly but I've had quite a number of hot starts in the sim and dry motoring has, maybe, worked once and I generally only get them cleared out if I wear out the starter and replace it which takes about 4 or 5 attempts if I recall. Maybe I'm doing something wrong but I'm following the checklist. I figured I'd research it further at some point but, I haven't yet. To be honest, and I hate to say it, it's been hangared for quite a while now. If I'm lucky I get, maybe, a couple of hours at a time to sim a couple times a week and I don't want to spend forty-five minutes of it dealing with those kinds of maintenance problems.

I talked to all the witnesses. Big argument there as to whether you're a great or lousy pilot. So, the question is, what did you think of the airplane?

LOL. A 738 at St. Barts?!! Tell us the truth...how many times did you try to land until you actually made it? Hysterical!

Thank you.

So, I guess my question is, is it safe to turn these messages off? Assuming there's a way to do that.

A couple of questions: I've noticed that the warning message for a hot start pops up even before ITT gets up into the red. Using the timer ITT should be able to go into the lower red zone for 20 seconds and up to 5 seconds into the upper red zone before any damage to the engine. Is the airplane looking at the speed the needle is rising and guessing that this is going to be a bad start before one happens? What if we didn't have those messages? Would the 20 second and 5 second rules work? (I'd also like to say that I have yet to have Dry Motoring work to get me out of a hot start situation. Perhaps there's something I need to do that's not in the checklist.) If you didn't have the "brakes are hot" message how would a real TBM pilot know that he had to delay takeoff for 15 minutes to allow the brakes to cool? There's no CAS message. Thanks!

It's a good addition to the Daher videos. He goes into little details and explains things well. Hot starts, wet starts, etc. How to tell if you're battery's getting old (and how long it should last). How the start is different with a GPU. How long ITT can safely be in each of the 'red zones'. And more. Good stuff!

And the fuel costs at different airports varies wildly. Small airports have it down about $4...the big fancy ones have it up in the $8 range.

Keep in mind, I looked but couldn't find any instances of a RW TBM ground looping or exiting the runway. Also, from articles about the airplane they never mentioned anything about the airplane being difficult to steer on the runway...no mention about steering at all. The RW airplane has a better safety record than a C172.

Estoy usando las mismas curvas que te di. Funcionan muy bien
