I haven’t posted anything since late December but I have still managed to keep making progress on my around the world trip.
My last report was from Amsterdam (EHAM) and have flown through Paris, Italy to North Africa, Greece, Istanbul and today landing in Beirut. My next leg sees me heading south east to the Arabian Peninsula. Weather has been so so. Some days it is terrible weather and some, not so bad. The TBM handles it all with confidence.
Flying the TBM930 on the XBOX series X, there has been a few issues with the FMS/flight planner. At first, the flight planner wouldn’t load into the autopilot so building the plans manually was the only way to do it. Actually didn’t mind that process since it provided plenty of practice using the onboard flight planner.
There was an update a week or so that fixed the flight planning but the FMS has a tendency to skip the odd waypoint on approach so that needs to be fixed. Not a deal breaker but the you need to be ready to hit the ‘direct to’ feature to get back on track.
Anyway, I’m nearly at the halfway point (Abu Dhabi is the middle leg of the journey).
