I tried both NAV radios, I set the frequency in both and tried to switch between them, same issue Anyhow, as I said, the RNAV approaches work fine, so it is a good chance to practice them!

Anyhow, at least until the ILS approaches will be 'attended', I think that we should practice more the RNAV approaches, considering that they will, in a not so distant future, and taking advantage on the technology advancements, become more and more utilized. Hopefully, one day, the LPV approaches will be used even for autolanding.... RNAV_QFacts_final_06122012.pdf

In any case, the RNAV approaches work fine. So, for the time being, you can continue to fly and select the GPS approaches, not the ILS ones. Let's hope that Saso will give us some good news!

I do not have a Navigraph subscription, so it is the default cycle. Attached you have the initial screen of the MFD

You are welcome, James! I am happy that we got it appearing! Hopefully, with some tweaking you will find a good compromise

Also, if you are using an Nvidia card, try the Beta version, using the Vulkan, you will not have for now the rain effects, but it might improve the smoothness of the X-Plane

If your hardware configuration is not very good, try to run at a lower resolution, it might help. At least we know that it works. Try to play with the settings, adjust them little bit by little bit and find a reasonable compromise. Unfortunately, the flight simulators are very demanding on hardware resources.... Imagine what will be with the coming Microsoft Flight Simulator....

Just now, with Vulkan disabled and very hard rain

Just try to set like mine, even if it will become slow, at least we will know if it fixes the issue

Did you change the Visual Effects to maximum? Also, in the plugins, did you set the visuals for the TBM?

The new Beta version is changing the Graphics Engine to use the new Vulkan drivers which are more modern and the sim should become much smoother. Being a beta, not all the add-ons are yet working, they need to be updated, librain being one of them, due to using some 'undocumented' graphics features. Anyhow, at starting X-Plane, in the settings you can choose to use Vulkan or not, as I shown you before. Please check the attachments, so you can try to get the Beta

The version is OK, don't worry, is the 'official one, if you want to try the 11.50b10, go to the folder of X-Plane11, start the X-Plane 11 Installer and select the box for Beta versions

Also, after you start the X-Plane, go to Plugins - TBM900 - Configure visual effects....and select all the Ticks and Rain&Ice to High Hopefuly it will work After you play with the rain effects, try to upgrade the X-Plane to Beta and see if Vulkan increases your framerate

Just try to increase the Visual Effects

Hi James, Please send us a print-screen of your Settings - Graphics Also, are you using a beta version or the default version of X-Plane? Check in Settings - General - About and tell us. If you are not using the Beta (so no Vulkan, the default OpenGL should have the librain effects ready, the windshield should look like this in a rainy day

We must thank you!

Hi @skiselkov, I am trying the following plan; LROP (Romania Otopeni) towards the FLR VOR, then ILS08R approach (vectors) When I activate the approach, it follows the GPS points (OBELA) both LNAV and VNAV, when it switches to FAF FF08R, CDI commutes to ILS and no more tracking, the plane does not follow anymore the direction, no VNAV, the ILS does not show the LSI, only the GS is working and I have to land manually. Please let me know what other details are useful, I will send them all to you! I love the plane, it is the best ever simulated, I enjoy a lot the Synthetic Vision, I know that it is your 'baby'! This lockdown I took the TBM around the world, I really enjoyed flying it in all the beautiful places! I am attaching a photo from 'visiting' Tarbes, Daher factory Thank you and the team for this amazing plane!

Hi Peter, Unfortunately, not yet! I tried everything I could think of, Experimental Flight Model, Standard one, Vulkan drivers and OpenGL, I created a new airframe, still the same behavior. I thought that maybe the radios failed, but in the Maintenance page all is like New.... At least a bit of relief is that I am not alone. Maybe Goran will see our posts and he might suggest a possible solution.

It must be in the X-Plane - Settings - Graphics Post your screen I assume that you are using the Beta version of the sim

You're welcome! I am happy that it worked! Unfortunately, without using Vulkan, you lose a few frames per second, but when it is rainy weather, it worths....

Yes, it should be enough! Let's hope that librain will be made compatible with the new graphics engine, the effects are beautiful

Hi, In the Graphics settings of the X-Plane, untick this "Use Vulkan driver for faster rendering", restart X-Plane and set a rainy weather

Hi, If you switch to OpenGL, the rain effects will show and they are so nice! librain does not work yet with Vulkan

@okidokki Hi Okidokki, I tried to apply the hint you gave me but, unfortunately, I had no luck! I tried the same flight, with a very simple flight plan, took off from the airport that I know very well, go to the nearest VOR, then activate the approach and try to get back to the airport. The moment I activate the Approach, the AP is following the fixes, both LNAV and VNAV, the issue starts at the FAF, the PFD changes to Localizer, it is not tracking anymore the lateral navigation, it just goes in a circle. I tried many times to deselect NAV and APR and select again, I also disconnected the AP and activate again, no luck. The ROL is continuously displayed, I cannot do anything but disable the AP and land visually. At this airport it is no problem, it is my home airport and I can land without issues, but I am trying to practice for the bad meteo conditions. I really do not know if I m doing anything wrong, I flown the Hotstart TBM for hundreds of hours, I had no issue like this. It happened a few times to have failures, or ILS approaches which were not working, but I assumed that they are part of the 'fun', as normal failures. In this case, I check the maintenance, there is no fault indicated, the plane is as new :-) Also, the same procedure, in the Cirrus or the C172 works fine, the ILS approaches are OK, automatic or manual, this is why I wonder if there is anything that it is out of the normal I tried now the same approach with the Aerobask DR401 and it works well, I stayed on the AP, 'riding' the GS until the minimums.... Thanks

Hi, It was in manual flying, because it was not displaying the CDI, so I had to land manually. Even so, the CDI should have appeared, so I could use it as guidance (the ILS frequency was correct, I even set it in the both NAV radios)., but even the name was not appearing at the side of the frequency I tried the same approach with the Cirrus and the Cessna, the CDI appears and works fine. Also, as I said if I choose RNAV, the GPS approaches are working, both LPV and LNAV+V
