TBM Bob

I did a more detailed evaluation of the Hot Start TBM900 MFD and PFD by comparing their performance to the Garmin Socata TBM Trainer software used to prepare pilots for the transition to the real aircraft. A copy of the observed anomalies is attached. 920258751_HotStartTBM900Evalution_v2.pdf

I’m running X-plane -11 (version 11.55r2 - build 115501) and plugin Hot Start TBM 900 ( version 1.1.13) on a Windows 11 Alienware PC with RealSim G1000 10.4" PFD, 15" MFD, PROC GMA Audio Panel, GCU478, GFC500, TBM Switch Panel. When selecting “PROC” button on the RealSim GCU478 panel, it is not possible to select the airport identifier or desired approaches using the Alpha-Numeric section of the RealSim GCU478 panel. It is possible to select the approach using the on-screen Alpha-Numeric version of the GCU478 panel with a left-clicks of the mouse. All the hardware appears to be working since it is possible to enter flight plans using the RealSim GCU478 Alpha-Numeric panel. The DataRef tool shows the RealSim GCU478 buttons are mapped correctly ( i.e. appears and turns yellow when selected). The data value =”1” when depressed and “0” when released. Command Mapping.ini file shows for Example: the letter “K” [RealSimGear-GCU#5] BTN_K=sim/GPS/gcu478/K The on-screen button left mouse click is mapped to: tbm900/actuators/efis/mfd_keyboard_K. The keys on the GCU478 that are inactive after selecting “PROC” include: A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J,K,L,M,N,O,P,Q,R,S,T,U,V,W,X,Y,Z,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0, ENT,SPC,BKSP. All of the above keys function in the flight plan enter mode. Is this a known bug? Is a patch available?

Now that the CL650 has been released, what is the timeline for Navigraph updates for the TBM 900 MFD approach plates? Bob
