Not the best example. The kodiak is special in my book. Perhaps one of the default aircraft without a mod is a better one.
Asobo do not do a TBM 850 .

I like the aircraft a lot and am currently building a stream deck profile based on AAO. Now I wonder if there is a list of H:Vars somewhere - especially for the damage model? This would save searching and converting the correct names from the weather radar.

Yeah I purposefully set the conditions to 0 wind. Perhaps I’m just used to the Kodiak. Obviously I have never flown a real TBM before. Do you know if BlackSquare involved any real TBM pilots in the testing of their product? If they did, and those guys say it’s OK, well then it must be OK!
Oh, the original then. Sorry.
You try to help, and are corrected? Meh…
Sorry I dont know if real TBM830 Pilots are involved. And I am also no Pilot, so me neither can be 100% sure, if its behaviour now is correct. I just wanted to point out, that there is definetely a left tendency and you need rudder in Zero wind. I just wish you could see more in the Aircraft, then the Takeoff Roll Behaviour. And Black Square was always pretty fast with fixes, so maybe this is something he picks up. I know that he at least reads this thread for sure.
Hallo,
there is a comprehensiv list of the most important lvars for input and gauges in the AnalogTBM.XML. this might get easily overlooked. But Black Square is fully aware of the homecockpit builders and hence makes it easy for them. It is nearly the first thing he lists in the XML. He even adresses them:

| <!-- Several adjusted values used by the instrumentation in this aircraft have been provided for your convenience | |
| when building home cockpits or external instrumentation interfaces. | |
| With a healthy understanding of the code below, anything should be possible, but these are just some important | |
| values to get you started. |
There you should find anything you need.

I swear I looked for buttons next to the lights themselves, because that is also how the 930 is set up (and god are they hard to click in VR) but I didn’t see anything. I must be freaking blind and will look again.
Yes those are the guesses I’ve been using - as I said not very accurate - at least for me they aren’t but I suck at math and tend to round numbers very quickly to make it easy.
Why is the VNAV not working really was my question. Am I doing something wrong?
I’m sorry but I really am not seeing a button?
These are the two lights I mean. I’ve found how to turn on every other light.
Ah. There are switches labeled “reading light” below the windows on the pilot’s door and on the passenger side where a door would be if it had one.
Ah crap ok I’m dumb. I honestly thought the reading lights were a light bulb down on the yoke clipboard! It was so dim. I guess those lights are just a lot dimmer than the 930 ones are.
These overhead switches are really hard to see the position of at night, especially in VR. Even with all the lights I can find turned on

I feel less dumb as I re-checked the manual, and the section on the reading lights REALLY implies it comes from the yoke. Bit misleading there. I see now there are two DIFFERENT lights. The Reading light switch is the ones overhead, and the yoke lights are the knob ON the yoke. The Docs are just confusing 
Thank you for pointing this out. I never would have thought to go looking for it myself.
The more I learn about the structure of an add-on the more I’ve been able to find what I need in the code, but I’m still learning how things are laid out so this is very helpful.
For reference to others, this file is in SimObjects/Airplanes/bksq-aircraft-tbm850/model/AnalogTBM.xml
When using the GTN750, I hear button press sounds when clicking on the touch screen. Is that supposed to happen?!

No, it is actually quite clearly described 
In addition to the overhead cabin lighting, each crew member has a swiveling overhead reading
light, activated by small rocker switches on the cockpit walls. Each yoke also possesses a
dimmable reading light focused on the integrated clipboards.

Another question: is it correct that this product does not have wheel chocks and covers? If so, a bit disappointing for such a high quality product.

Thank you JayDee,
I found all the L:Vars (over AAO and in Dev_mode). This is no problem. My question referred to the failures which can be triggered in the Bendix radar f.e.
1 (>H:BKSQ_FAILURE_ENGINE_FAILURE)
You can set all those failures in this syntax “H:BKSQ_FAILURE_Name_of_the_error_in_radar”. This is remarked in the Manual. It’s working, but these are H:Vars. Setting (0/1) is possible. My problem is to read those Values. Unfortunatley there are no L:Vars for all those errors.
Many greetings
Oliver
Are the prop aerodynamics modelled properly? I don’t sense much pull to the left on takeoff which I would expect. Maybe to come?
