[MAJOR UPDATE][V 1.2] Black Square TBM 850

Yes, it is and understandably could well be a factor.

I personally thought the devs response was very friendly and informative.

That said, it is great to have a mod which makes a improvement so thanks to the modder too.

Just my 2 pence.

Anyone else noticed a slight bank (5 degress of roll to the left) when flying in the cruise.

Could be the wind or a fuel imbalance, 41kts from 10 o’clock at cruise FL200 with auto switching fuel on, but I’d be surprised if it would be that noticeable? Doesn’t seem to reduce when the fuel is balanced with the auto switching tanks?

Maybe I’m doing something wrong? Any ideas or thoughts?

Thank you.

Check your slip indicator and rudder trim. For some weird reason the plane sometimes (but not always!) requires some LEFT rudder trim in order to fly straight.

Thanks I’ll double check that.

I did look, they look ok as in they look aligned, I’d have expected the autopilot to correct any trim issues?

I also tried to add some trim to both but the autopilot seemed to move things back?

I’ll have a play around, thanks for the pointer.

I’ve also made the white outlines on the Annunciator Panel thinner and less prominent because it bothered me.

Yes indeed it was on the Todo list :wink:

The opposite actually. Unless I’m in AP, or I use aileron trim, the airplane always wants to drop the RIGHT wing quite severely.

I noticed that using the MSFS weight and balance the CG was left side heavy?

Just tried a flight where I balanced, by removing the pilot!, to give a correct centre (left and right) CG.

It seems to have reduced the problem for me? Might be worth checking?

Something really seems off with your aircraft. When I fly it has more of a slight left roll tendency. It shouldn´t play a roll, but can you check if your flightmodel is on modern and you have no assistances activated.

hmm interesting. This is the only aircraft that does it, or at least the only one I notice it on.

I believe you. But I really think something is happening there. Have you checked the failure status in the weather radar and tried to reset all failures?

Yeah already checked that. Anytime something seems weird I check but its always clear :slight_smile: Also it has been doing this ever since the very first flight.

That is odd and I think you´re encountering a bug.

  • Have you tried zero weather?
  • And does it do that at all speeds? Even when you are cruising?
  • And we are talking about the same “right”? I mean the “right” opposite of “left”^^. Just kidding.
  • I am not a fan of advising to reinstalling an addon, because in 99% of the cases it wont help. But in your case I really would try it.

If nothing helps, I would recommend to open an official ticket vai Just Flight Support - that is the best way to ensure this bug is taged and reaches the developer.

Here would be a link to Just Flights Support Site - Support : The Spirit of Flight Simulation

Kind regards

How do I turn on the Garmin unit in the middle of the panel?

Are you trying to use the GTN-750? Have you downloaded and installed the software from pms50.com? If you have selected the GTN-750 and don’t have the software, the screen will be black. If you have it installed, it should come on when you flip the radio master switch.

Thx. I didn’t know I need to install something else

check your deadzones on the yoke axi, if i put anything less than a 3% deadzone ill get random severe wing dips. ALSO does anyone know if the 850 has a fuel burn gauge?

That’s a very reasonable response.

I’ve made a summarized normal checklist for the TBM 850, here it is:

If anyone has any suggestions, let me know. This checklist was made with the intent of being very straight forward, and to fit a single page for ease of use.
