then yay for mugs and i will stick with that :slight_smile:

IAS and TAS are for air and wind. What about Ground speed? Seems that it’s the number that really matters, especially if you are using live weather. Look at the lower left in the PFD in the TBM for TAS and GS. With a 40 mph tailwind I got a ground speed of 350 knots. In the same crosswind I got over 300 knots. Haven’t tried it in calm weather and light wind because in reality it’s never like that.

Incorrect. GS is the only speed which affected by wind.
Since it’s not a fixed value it’s useless to measure performance.

Wind and GS are only a factor if you add the ground to the equation and then we are talking about navigation.

My point was, how fast do you want to get there. The faster you go over the dirt is one measure of performance. Say your in a Cub flying into a 40 MPH head wind. Your IAS and TAS would be indicate your moving right along, but your ground speed would be zip. I do agree that the TBM is still nerfed. From all the responses it seems the TBM is a popular plane.

65

Again, no. If you are flying 200kts TAS in a 100kts head/tailwind the groundspeed will be 100kts or 300kts, nevertheless aircraft performance is identical in both cases.
Wind doesn’t affect IAS e.g. stall speed either.
If the perfomance data are saying that an aircraft has a cruising speed/performance of 300kts it’s obviously in zero wind conditions.

I understand. Your up early.

That is 100% correct.

That is a fact.

I haven’t heard any alarms with Dakfly’s Longitude mod + WT-3000, and the alarm with TBM existed before SU6 as well, just turn of the parking brake, problem solved.

71

I have not has any alarm issues with the Stock TBM. I have ZERO Mods or Addons.
Just tested again a few minutes ago, no alarms.

72

Can any of you guys confirm that the AP (stock, no WT mod) is broken in the following ways:

  • Following a flight plan filed in the pre-flight config screen works as before

  • Without flight plan, ad-hoc entering Direct-to does not work anymore, the AP makes the plane just fly circles.

  • Selecting a STAR procedure in from the list in flight does not work anymore → same behavior, plane flies circles or bogus headings, this also happens when a flight plan was filed and ATC assigns a different transition so the plan needs to be modified.

  • Without the flight plan, the AP can’t even do a simple ILS-approach anymore, I just set it on the LOC like 20mi out (after giving up making it accept a simple D>TO) and it locked on the LOC for a while but then deviated to the left and started helplessly meandering around it (with headwind pretty much on the nose).

All these things worked fine with the stock G3000 in the TBM pre SU6 only days ago, on the same airport(s).

Nvm trying to replicate this - This is another thing happening randomly out of the blue, just starting a fresh flight and using DTO doesn’t trigger it. :confused:

74

What is this? I have no idea what those numbers and this crosswind / downwind is supposed to mean, are you flying a at 25.000 ft with 32.000 kts of crosswind? How can there be a disconnect between TAS and GS with only a crosswind component. This is not gonna help the devs much.

Dont even know why groundspeed is spoken of.
Completely irrelvent perf wise

Hi, no mods or additional planes as I’m on xbox.

77

I am seeing this same behavior. I tried 3 or 4 different flights last night and when I went to turn on my AP the plane started flying in circles. Tested an approach as well and it was a disaster, more circles. I am on an Xbox X.

78

Is it normal that the TBM ROL to the right when flying? (8000ft no wind)
And at landing at steers to left.
Or are my Controller settings changed after the SimUpdate
?

79

It shouldn’t do that if on autopilot. On landing check the wind (When you take off take a peek at the wind sock). I think not big cross winds have too big an effect once the wheels are on the ground. Plus there’s engine torque, which is more pronounced on take off. If flying manually you use aileron trim to keep things level. I have trim set up on a thumb switch on my joystick. Elevator trim is set on another thumb switch

To keep the aircraft from rolling due to the various engine/prop moments, you should primarily use rudder trim.

If you look at the slip indicator you will notice that it is off center. The left rolling tendency is due to yaw.

81

Do you use rudder trim to reduce yaw?
