No lateral tapes on the left screen.

Hello, To get the appropriate cruise set up, you have to go to the section 5.8 of the POH (TBM official's one) : "The torque must be set at or below the value corresponding to the local conditions of flight level and temperature. NOTE Inertial separator must be OFF and ”BLEED HI” MSG OFF. Example : for FL = 260 and OAT = - 22°C, the following tables give the maximum torque to be set. Maximum climb power : TRQ = 83 % for IAS = 124 KIAS (Add 0.5 % of TRQ for each additional 10 KIAS on climb airspeed) (cf. tables Figures 5.8.1 and 5.8.1A) Maximum cruise power : TRQ = 97 % (cf. tables Figures 5.8.3 and 5.8.3A) Recommended cruise power : TRQ = 92 % (cf. tables Figures 5.8.4 and 5.8.4A)" In short, in cruise, you have to check the Torque Power, not the IAS : at high altitude, set the Torque Power around 90-95% (you will have to increase the throttle when you climb, the opposite on descent). Good flights, Daniel.

Absolutely magnificent ! Thank you so much.

...and we do not forget his his colleague on the keyboards !

As far as I know, the only way to check the cabin's temp is to go to ECS info in TBM900 (x-plane plugins menu). To change the temp, check p. 24-25 of the manual : there is a knob on the environmental system panel.

Really ? Still then, no "yellow jackets" in the air, only at the gates !

Hi Agustin, I am French, but I will try to help ! (Come on, Jan, bring up some bottle of old good wine of Bordeaux for your next flight !). VDM is for a VOR-DME approach, so, forget about that, because you want to select the ILS 14L approach. I think that there is a problem with the database (I'm using navigraph). When you choose the NETRO transition, you have to delete the fix TOU/14. then you will get the good track to the FAF. Happy new year to all of IXEG beauty's lovers. Daniel.

Sorry, this update doesn't load correctly in XP 11.26... Log.txt

For my own, I have assigned a button of my throttle to the functions : "lean" and "rich mixture a little bit". It works very well with the TMB throttle. "Rich" pushes the lever forward and "lean" backward. And it is then very easy too to feather the propeller (one notch backward). (of course, I set another button for the reverse and taxy range).

Did you switch the electric trim button (overhead panel) to ON ?

In the joystick xp menu, I assigned a button to the function tbm900/ap/autopilot command master on/off. I always disengage the AP before landing and, eventually, perform a GA... So I did not test that.

My contribution that shows that the TBM is flyable with a old graphic card (2048 Gb). TBM900_fps.ods

I don't know if this is the reason of your issue : for go around, you have to set a button or key to "autopilot take-off go around". It is not the same one as the TOGA button, used with an autothrottle. I confirm that the SUSP soft key is available after GA on the PFD.

As already discussed elsewhere, the trick is to slowly decrease the power after landing and not to fully retard the throttle ; and, if possible, to set the reverb to the minimum available. By the way, reverb is not often necessary. It works for me, in spite of the use of CH Pro pedals.

Hi divinglyc, This matter has been already discussed here : Perhaps yaw axis may be tuned a little bit. But as written in Daher's POH, the solution is to make only slow adjustments of power ; 50% torque on brakes and increase power smoothly on take-off, decrease it slowly on landing.

I own the DR401, the Panthera and the P51 Mustang : you do not find any recommended settings for the joystick n the documentation. For a simple reason : it depends mostly of each specific model...

Hello, Sorry if this subject has been already discussed. The rain effect can be activated only when the level of precipitations raises to " heavy" in the x-plane weather settings. I am using NOAA plugin to generate real weather conditions, based on metar reports. In Europe, very often, we have only moderate precipitations (RA (rain) in the metar, not SHRA (shower rain). So, the rain effect cannot be displayed much of the time. I think it would be very nice if the rain effect could be tuned a little bit to have it displayed even if the precipitations are moderate (in the sense of XP settings). By the way, any hour flying this bird makes me happy.

It's better to try at once with all cursors set to 0.

I deleted my message before you answered to it, because I realized your question was indeed about ILS landings. As I wrote here, but perhaps I'm wrong, the TBM 900 does not have the equipments required for Ils approaches other than Cat I. I read some web documentation on this matter and the regulations are extremely complicated.

Thank you very much for all these advices that I will try to put in practice. I'm getting also much better results by following the recommendations of Daher's POH, avoiding to increase ou decrease too rapidly the power on take-off and landing. Actually, the problem comes in large part from the CH Pro pedals, that do not move like in a real plane (I am a private pilote in real life) : they oppose much less resistance when moved from one side to the other, so that light planes are much more difficult to control in XP than in reality (except when flying a tail dragger like the Piper Cub !). I thought I got an issue with the simulate control at high speed, because I had to make large movements of my joystick to change the aircraft's attitude. I recalibrated my joystick, set all sensitivity controls to 0 and after some tests, it's really a very nice pleasure to fly your plane. After many other guys here, I am very grateful to you for your creativeness, your support and reactivity.

Yeap, only CAT I ils approaches. And for CAT II et III approaches, you need to engage 2 autopilots for redundancy.

Just ignore my post : it works... (but no CWS annunciation, Garmin 1000 from Laminar limitation I presume). My apologize to the moderators for this inconvenience.

deleted by me.

On approach, you have to press the APP button, not VNV. You have to be strictly at the altitude required at the IAF. In APP mode too, no need to set a new altitude (you may then set the MA altitude). There is one useful feature that is missing in the Laminar Garmin 1000 : in the real thing, if Vnav mode must be activated once again, the annunciation VPATH flashes in white on the PFD as a reminder.

I disabled the simulate control stiffening at high airspeed in the airframe manager, and I gain much control on the rudder with full throttle at T/O. Hope it will help some guys here.
