Hey All, 

 

My last two flights, (a relatively short one between CYOJ and CYYE) ended with the TBM, all of a sudden, pitching the nose up violently and the plane destroyed due to over g. 

 

The whole failure only lasts about 2 seconds from the onset to death. It starts like a sudden hit of violent turbulence, the nose pitches nearly straight up, and... dead.

 

Like I said this has happened two times now in two consecutive flights, both the same route.  

 

Has anyone experienced this?

 

Thanks!

No. I haven’t seen this behavior. 
Flying around the perimeter of the Gulf of Mexico, clockwise, in the TBM and have done 6 or 7 flights since starting in St. Petersburg, Florida on Friday, with a divert to Mexico City from Veracruz,  and landed tonight in Harlingen, Texas with no issues.

Are you able to record your flight?

Westair: No I wasn't unfortunately.   

 

I'm away from my PC right now, but is there some kind of failure that you can turn off probabilities for in the menu?  

 

Its so odd. 

 

Nearly all my hours of flying have been in the TBM and I haven't seen this in all.   I must have over a hundred hours flying it by now.   At least 10 or 20 after the patch.

Bump to see if anyone else has experienced this.

Not in that model, but I have had something similar happen once each in three other aircraft.  Usually  a minute or two after takeoff.  C172, DA62, and the G36.  I have flown multiple flights in each and only had it happen once each.   I cannot recall if each was the first flight after starting the sim, or if in Developer mode I had switched aircraft between what I first selected the sim.  Each time it occurred, I next exited the sim, rebooted system, and started the sim and flew without incident.

First step, make sure your controller is good. If you pull up the Windows controller config screen you can see the inputs it's sending real-time. I had a busted old controller that would send spikes and make the plane do stuff like that.

I only fly the TBM, have many hours in the # 2 patch too and I did not experience such ac air frame stress at any time. My aileron, elevator and rudders are set via FSUIPC, don't know if this would help.

I'll look into my controller inputs.  

 

Good feedback, thanks.  

Just flew the Carenado Ovation out of Buffalo. Five minutes into the flight, the plane started to act erratically till a finale pitch down ended the flight with an aircraft stress message. This is not aircraft specific, but rather a flaw in the flight sim its self i would think. 

I have many, many hours in the sim, mostly in the TBM, but I never experienced anything like this.

A few times the plane was shaken, maybe by as sudden change in wind speed or wind direction. It never crashed the plane though.

The only time I've seen anything like that is a couple of times early on when I active-paused for a long time (dealing with RL stuff).  When I unpaused, it was almost like the atmosphere disappeared. Plane pitched straight down and crashed.

 

I've seen it in both the TBM and the SR22. It's possible to fight it by pushing almost full forward on the stick and throttling back, to prevent the overspeed/g to the aircraft.

After a few minutes of fighting to keep the plane level, it goes away. I only see it happen once per flight, never multiple times.

I have no idea what causes it.

Maybe this is the cause?

I have live traffic on and never had this problem, though.

I consider this a "voodoo fix", but whatever keeps you happy......
