TBM 850 HD Series FSX | P3D

I'm finding the TBM quite "lively" and not easy to control during takeoff and landings.. So I've toned it down a bit - which makes it more forgiving. Not sure how the real aircraft behaves, it is an Italian airplane after all ^_^ If you find it a handful.. try this: [flight_tuning] cruise_lift_scalar = 1.0 parasite_drag_scalar = 1.0 induced_drag_scalar = 1.5 elevator_effectiveness = 1.0 aileron_effectiveness = 0.8 //1.0 rudder_effectiveness = 0.8 // 1.0 pitch_stability = 1.0 roll_stability = 1.1 // 1.0

Has anyone noticed the climb performance difference after SP1??? I feel that after rotation she does not accelerate as rapidly. When heavy, 6500lbs+, flap retraction is 115 IAS. I seem to be unable to reach that speed unless I climbing less then 1000 fpm..... is this normal???

Just saw it pop up on my Facebook feed: Carenado TBM FSX/P3D Service PACK 1 (20130523) RELEASED. Released: May 23rd, 2013 Changelog: -Cruise Speed performance at high altitudes corrected. (FDE developed by Bernt Stolle). -Several windows, messages and menus of G1000 were improved. -Some knobs operated backwards. Now they are right. -Pulse lights system added. -Inertial separation and Prop O’Speed test now has action over the performance. -Ignition signal corrected for AUTO mode. -Bank function added to the autopilot. -ITT now indicates in Celsius as it is in the checklist. -Some stickers were misplaced. -Doors sounds adjusted. -Other small bugs fixed You don’t nee…

Hi everyone, I'm having trouble figuring out how to set up the ILS in this bird. I get the correct ILS freq from the airport page on the MFD and put it into the NAV 1 box on the PFD but when I come to do my approach I see no indication of the localizer being intercepted on finals. I'm sure I'm missing a very simple step here and if anyone could point it out I would appreciate it!!! Cheers

Hi guys, after downloading and installing the newest/latest version of the TBM I have real performance problem with this bird After take off i can climb with 1600ft/m when I'am lucky and with a IAS of 115 kts, every higher climb rate ends up with a rapidly lost of the speed I have activated the 850 flap but then I get only a red alert message for "Torque" but no change in the performance When I installed the first version, I was able to climb with a steady speed of ~145 kts and with 2400ft/m up to higher levels but now it is neaerly impossible to fly the TBM with a acceptable performance. Any help and suggestions are welcome! Thanks in advance! Cheers, …

I was wondering why Carenado "decided" to not include a one pilot model. It clearly states that there is a option of having two or one pilot visually.

Using either the direct-to or way-point funkction, is there any way to search the name of the airport/navaid etc. rather than the identifier? I can jump to the second line, which shows the name once you've typed in an identifier, but I can't seem to be able to type in a name directly.

Does anyone know if it is possible to change the hobbs meter? I would like to add some hours to it..... For instance: I currently have 20.6 hours on mine... Can it be edited to read 226.6 hours?? Thanks....

Hi all, Anyone experience ESS DC drainage with Battery switched off? Completed a flight, shutdown to cold and dark. Went back two hours later and my ESS voltage was flashing red with 0 DC??

The front left side engine cover has a gap that extends from the front/top all the way down the side of the compartment. I reported this in the initial model screenshots but it looks like it wasn't fixed. It essentially makes the left side engine panel portrude out from the model.

Another issue for SP2, I hope. When starting and shutting down the engine with 'auto-start' and 'auto-shutdown', there are significant issues with sound management. Sometimes engine sound does not shut off -- and other times it just shuts off abruptly. For illustration, do a couple of auto-starts and auto-shutdowns with the 850, then on the B200 --- speaks for itself. Needs some attention. Many Thanks !!!! ^_^

This has perhaps already been mentioned elsewhere :unsure: , but the full TBM850 Pilot Information Manual (860 pages PDF file) is freely available on Daher Socata's website.

Hi. I have trouble understanding a couple of things with this otherwise beautiyful Aircraft; I cant reach more than 100% trq. I see in the power settings pdf that up to 124.1% trq is mentioned. I also see that i can never get the powerlever up to more than 92% and that there seems to be a blocking device. I feel kind of stupid here now and would really like som help Regards Bjørn Bergum

Maybe you'll find it in the checklist, but as soon as you've got the MFD up and running, you can turn off the engine info on the PFD, by pushing the red button at the bottom of the Audio panel.

Hi all, I am wondering how I can go about editing the G1000's default settings? I have found the config file in the TBM850_G1000.Cab and extracted it and edited it but now I can't re-add it to the .Cab file. Is there any special software I need?

So, I'm flying with the PFD as aid to center the plane on ILS during an instrument approach. There is a backup horizon gauge above and to the right (analogue). It _looks_ as if the caret at the top should also identify nose on center, but of course it's offset to the right. Is this true in the actual TBM850 as well? Takes getting used to at first.

So after my normal new airplane air trials I cant seem to get this airplane to 320 TAS.... I did a test tonight by the book.... ISA+5 27,000ft Aprox. 6500 at FL Chart says TRQ111% - 318TAS - FF62.9gph I was wide open throttle @ TRQ108% - 292TAS - FF61gph And i have not been able to to produce anywhere near 320TAS as of yet....... Has anyone noticed a problem with this flight model?

I am interested in using my Saitek radios with SPAD drivers, touch screen monitor, and using FSUIPC to interface various rotary encoders on the G1000 and A/P. Have any pilots had success using hardware other than keyboards and mice? Thanks in advance.

Since I'm one of the first to post here.. I thought I might post a nice teaser screenshot of the TBM after a successful flight from Bend Muni to KPDX.. This is a really lovely airplane, and I hope that Carenado sticks with it and fixes the various reported bugs in their traditional two Service Packs.. B)

I currently have the Malibu and am pretty much satisfied with it. My question is, what will I gain by getting the TBM? Simwise is there a big difference between them. I've been reading the mixed reviews and am trying to make up my mind if I should reach for my credit card. Thanks for convincing me yea or ney. Jim

I up'd an EZDok cam set with believable efx. Just search for TBM 850. I just up'd it as of this post, so give it a few hours to show in the lib. Enjoy! PS: my standard way of flying is to have pop ups on the side kick monitor... but I find myself staying inside the VC with this cam set. My key assignments use Q to O, but you may want to change these to your liking.

WTH?

Hi guys, I just found out that I dont have any documents/manuals in the TBM folder after installation Is there nothing or did I miss it somewhere? Thanks Cheers, Mark

Where would one find this? Never mind... Huh... first time I ran the plane last night, it didn't ask about C&D.. Ok... Hey! Thanks Everyone! :lol:
