August 4, 20196 yr Fellow simmers, Greeting!!, I am thinking of buying the TBM750 as I already own the Phenom 300 (with Navigraph expansion pack +SVS) from Carenado) 1) How do i UPDATE the database ( Airports, VORS, Intersections, Waypoints, SIDs, STARS,Approaches) if I do NOT install GTN750 ? 2) Does the Autopilot panel have a functional VNAV button? Best Regards Hari
August 4, 20196 yr Hi Hari, Do you mean the Carenado TBM 850? If so, the nav database cannot be updated as far as I know with the default G1000. The autopilot has a ALT button and altitude selection knobs. The selected altitude shows up on the G1000 PFD. Let me know if you have any more questions. John Cottreau Specs: black box thingy with spinning fans, lights and a bunch of wires that go to screens with pretty colours and a keyboard with many keys. The black box thingy also has a push button activated coffee cup holder. John C.
August 5, 20196 yr Author Thank you John, I was unaware that the TBM 750 has neither of the two features that i want in an aircraft. I cannot update the db with the latest AIRAC cycle ( from Navigraph) to obtain current SIDS, Stars etc Which means that I have to add The GTN 750/650 gauges and use that database 2. Without a VNAV button on the autopilot panel ( Like the Phenom 300), I cannot set the aircraft to automatically descend along selected waypoints( at specific altitudes). I have do this manually. Best Regards Hari

Best Regards Hari Hari -- you would have to purchase the expansion pack for the TBM 850....You keep calling it the TBM 750.....it is not a 750 🙂 -- Carenado requires it per bird they don't have a one purchase covers all. 2 -- As far as I know they never got the VNAV working.....I did the Bert Mod and put the Reality XP GTN 750 into the TBM 850 and it works much better....No VNAV but I can handle making the rest work much better doing that manually...
