Could you explain exactly what you are doing? I'm not really sure what you mean when you say you are hitting the power button.

Neither Saso nor myself have VR, so we can't tell you for sure. Set icing conditions, stream it and see. I'll be watching. Joe from SimVR Labs made us a VR compatible cockpit object, while I make an official one.

Hot Start doesn't have a site. The store where the TBM is hosted and sold is X-Aviation. All technical support is done here in the forums.

I'm not sure what you mean by the "Hot Start site". Are you talking about X-Aviation? X-Aviation is the store, and it deals with sales and activation support. The forums here are dealing with technical support, specific to the add on. And it is here that we read every single question pertaining to the actual product when it comes to issues like the one described by the OP.

Sure does.

Are you using an on board/built in the motherboard GPU?

What are you talking about?? No one has been ignored. Every single question is read and noted, and many are answered. We're looking after the Hot Start discord and these forums. We can't reply to every single question, otherwise we won't have time to make fixes. But we do make note of every single issue. Uncalled for, Craig.

This is a known issue and it has something to do with the shaders not working properly with VR. I think the next update turns rain off while in VR until a fix can be found after 11.3 comes out of beta.

Not meaning to come across as confronting, but we've answered this question quite a few times. It's an 11.3 issue. New shaders, and we've told everyone that if they choose to run it in 11.3, to do so at their own risk, as we don't support any X Plane beta's. We do know about it, but toto isn't going to do anything about it until 11.3 is out of beta, as things could change, or Laminar could even fix it on their end.

I've been working on the switches some more, to keep them black, but also visible. They'll be in an upcoming update.

When you asked "Has it been modelled after?", I assumed you meant "Have we made it for this TBM after release." Anyway, thank you for the comments. Very happy to see you enjoying it.

Usually when we make an add on, we mostly keep it as if it came direct from the factory. So no after market additions. That looks like some kind of TCAS or something. If it is, or even if it's any kind of radio, there's really no need for it, as the G1000 we have included has every radio covered. Plus, Saso added his very own TCAS as part of the G1000. Adding what is in that image would very much be a step backwards in technology, when compared to what is already included as part of the G1000.

Can't answer your question, but including a nice tailwind in your configuration would be very beneficial, too.

the dial on the overhead (left side) is for panel backlighting

11.3?

Short answer is, because they were not in the TBM we modelled it after. However, a placard IS on the top edge of the pilots door.

For now, we need to wait until 11.3 is out of beta. After that, it depends how complex the new update is and what it's done to the TBM systems. We'll need to address those first, before moving on to the rain and ice in VR

HA. You boofhead, John.

Hot Start. (Not Hot Shot)

Did you check your nav equipment in the maintenance manager? It looks like a G1000 fault.

Always a chance for anything. But when it comes to heli's, I think it's, kind of, an unwritten thing where developers leave the heli's to Dreamfoil. It's pretty much all he does, and he does it quite well.

This is being explored, and a fix on our end may be in a future update.

The map is the laminar G1000. It can't be changed, unfortunately. It can be added to. If/when Laminar decide to grant access to the G1000 API, then more areas of the G1000 will be editable.

Just a stab in the dark. Do you guys turn your yaw damper off prior to landing? I've seen a lot of people leave it on accidentally.

We have. We had a large group of streamers and testers who put the aircraft through its paces. In earlier versions, the ground handling was worse than it is now. That's when Toto fine tuned the ground handling via code, and made a specific point to all testers to really put the ground handling through its paces. Many of them had the same issues as what is being brought up here. Very sensitive ground handling, etc... and it was pointed out that it was supposed to be a little sensitive. But they did manage to get used to it. There's the odd 1 or 2 that are still having trouble though, for whatever reason. I mean, I guess we can revisit the issue, but the question remains. Do we want to make it handle easier for some people in the community, or do we want it realistic, no matter how hard it is? For some, not an easy question to answer. With regards to your takeoff, go for maximum torque, but rotate more gently. You'll find the torque a lot less pronounced. Watch the video I posted of Jason Miller flying the TBM in sim. Many thanks!
