There are countless plugins out there that can cause a myriad of problems. Many for free, and some are payware. Orthoscenery can have corrupt tile data. X-Plane could have a problem that needs to be addressed. It wouldn't be the first time. When you buy an Operating System, it's NEVER bug free on release. Yet the hardware recommendations are adhered to. You're asking for a perfect, problem free add on, out of the box, and that's simply never going to happen under any development team.

James, I'm going to address your post as logically and fairly as possible. So forgive me if I come across as blunt or confronting. The TBM has undergone continuous testing for about a year. It was streamed, constantly, for many months, with very few issues, and whatever issues were found, were quickly addressed. Whereas it is true you are not the only one experiencing SOME teething problems, you are most certainly in the minority. In saying this, I'm going to address each of your points. Upon release, there were some more issues discovered thanks to the community, but we released an update PER DAY for about a week, that addressed these problems. We are certainly not sitting back, doing nothing to address the problems. This is a very complex add on, and with complexity comes problems due to the immense variety of PC configurations out there. -Saying the TBM affects X Plane to an "unusable level" is very hard to believe, and you don't really give anyone much to go on. What kind of hardware are you using? What are your graphics settings? How long does it take for the TBM to get to an unusable level? -The crashes you are experiencing is happening to a small percentage of people. It's certainly not a common problem, but it has been acknowledged and a solution is being worked on. We understand the frustration you are experiencing, but we can only do so much. In the grand scheme of things, and after reading your comment about waiting more than a reasonable amount of time, other developers usually push out 1 update every 6 months. So I'd say we're doing better than average. I can appreciate you taking time out and testing the TBM in a clean installation, but it would have been far more helpful if you PM'ed either myself or Toto, and submitted any findings and/or log files. Coupled with your hardware specs, we may have narrowed it down to something fixable. Personally, I would be very interested in looking over your log file from a clean x plane installation, because I have 3 installations of X-Plane (Non beta w/plugins, non beta/without plugins and Beta without plugins). Again, I can appreciate your frustration, but we haven't left anybody in the lurch. Software is always going to be unpredictable. There are bugs in every single piece of software on the market. Nothing works flawlessly out of the box. Yes, it is a premium price, but we have made every effort to accommodate every single person who has had issues...to the point where we have invited all our customers to the Hot Start discord and asked them to DM any log files or bug reports to us so we can have a look. In closing, it would have been much more helpful if you could provide details of your crashes, as well as a log.txt file (found in your x plane root folder). The log file tells us everything, but sometimes it's advantageous to get extra information, such as the circumstances surrounding the crash (location, what you were doing, time of day, etc...) We apologize for the frustration, but I can assure you, the problems you are having (except for the missing side bar in full screen mode, which is a Laminar bug and the slow down in fps, which we think is a part of the synthetic vision code) are experienced by a small group of people. Saying it suffers from "MAJOR problems" is quite misleading. If you say it's giving YOU major problems, that's a fairer statement.

Gizmo powers several X-Aviation add ons. It is a scripting language, similar to SASL, which is used in x-plane.org add ons, that allows developers to code systems more quickly than conventional means. It is also a DRM that secures developers add ons from piracy. It will not slow down your system in any way, and if you are not using an add on that depends on it, it will sit there, doing nothing. There really is no need to remove it. If you choose to remove it, that is up to you.

Gizmo is for activation. Please do not remove it.

You're clicking the VS wheel behind the panel. It's an issue I'm aware of and will be fixed in the new cockpit object. If you enable the click regions visibility, you'll see it. Oversight on my part.

It definitely could be that. Could you also check your monitors scaling, and try setting it to 100%. Strange that custom resolution didn't work. It's worked for most other systems. If none of the above works, then, for the time being, you'll need to go into windowed mode for anything to do with the side bar. It will get fixed when 11.3 is out of beta.

I've seen this happen only a hand full of times. And it's always at an airport that has 3rd party scenery. Not really 100% sure why it's happening, but we can look at it and see what we can come up with. I have an idea or 2.

Please post a Log.txt But you will need to post it immediately after the crash.

Can you try going into settings/graphics and setting your screens resolution to "Custom" on both screens, and see if that fixes the problem.

A new cockpit object will be done for an update in the very near future. Fully VR compatible.

Go to settings/graphics. Set your resolution to custom. This is a temporary workaround. It'll be fixed in a future update.

Create a new airframe. It'll reset. The bouncing on load is usually due to a scenery glitch.

There was no issue with a missing side bar in the non beta. @pbrazendale, can you please make sure you're in 11.26. I just tested this in 11.26 on a single monitor and dual monitor. Sidebar visible in full screen and windowed mode. Also double check you are using default monitor settings. Nothing custom.

We still want you to enjoy it. what about setting the parking brake and spooling the engines up, then releasing the brakes and letting it roll down the runway without touching the rudder? It doesn't take much to take off. Could you at least try that for now?

Wonder no more. Looks like it's failing.

Are you sure it was the TBM? Your log says it's the Carenado PC12.

Try adjusting hardware sensitivites. It really isn't difficult to take off. There are many videos on youtube of people doing complete flights with it. Also, make sure the yaw damper is definitely off for both take off and landing.

Turn on HDR

This is happening in the latest beta while in Full Screen mode and, we think, default resolution. If you would like to experiment, try a custom resolution. Otherwise, we do not support beta's. Please revert back to 11.26. We'll further address this when 11.3 comes out of beta.

We need the Log.txt found in the X Plane root folder.

Please check your keystroke/button assignments for any stray assignments that may be tripping it off and maintenance manager for any damage to the avionics. Toto and I just checked a few minutes ago and both of ours are working as expected. This is what I have...

Does it steady itself if you increase flight models per frame?

My dual monitor setup, with TBM tool bar visible. I'm suspecting the problem you're having has to do with your set up somehow.

There are no ice detectors, but you'll see the boots start to ice up way before you'll have any stalling issues. Just pay attention to the ATIS and the current weather conditions.
