Have a stiff drink or 5 and then come back and help us bug test this thing lol. 

I love these emotional outbreaks.

Put another way, find a plane you can live w/ until the various issues are more solved.  I've got over 40h and 80Gb worth of air time, 95% of which is in the TBM which is a great little plane w/ a G3000 that works good enough for now.  It is the fastest single-engine plane in production and cruises at 31K feet at 290mph.  The plane's been fabulous and I do customized IFR flights in it exclusively.

That's exactly my plan. I pretend I own a TBM and have been flying around to places I've been in real life. I'm waiting until probably next year to bother with commercial airliners, once the issues get sorted out and hopefully some quality payware planes come out.

I flew the TBM last night and everything was perfect. Smooth as butter on ultra settings on my modestly priced gaming laptop. The moon glowing on the jaw dropping clouds was spectacular. My windshield iced up from precipitation and melted after turning on de ice. The turbulence was so realistic I swear my gaming chair started rocking back and forth. What an incredible simulator. 10/10. People are being way too nit picky 

I perfectly understand your joy of flying the TBM.  

But instead of calling nitpickers other simmers who are not as happy as you are, consider that for some of us the pleasure of flying a turboprop is more complex that the sensations or visuals that you report. The tuning of the engine parameters (ITT vs Torque vs temperature vs altitude) is  the core of the experience and is far from what it should be in the MSF TBM or Caravan.  The basic features of engine management are not here.  There are numerous threads on the subject which the 6th listed bug/issue on the official forum.

I loved them once too... but this is getting boring now. Yet another winge thread. Getting a bit much now. When I’m feeling a little too happy, I come here for my dose of misery to keep the trim straight  and level.

That's why adding dead zone to your throttle axis might be important. The zone where CL engages might be very narrow and if any spikes in your controller are present, it could inadvertently jar it out of position.

Cheers i tried that but the bus still wants to kill me!! Below is with AP on, HDG select and Autothrottle set to 222 knots 🤣

Be patient... it's virtually guaranteed that high quality payware planes with fully functional systems are going to be released in the future. In the meantime enjoy what we currently have.

Most times, I am learning to ignore these topics, sometimes I wonder, people have too much energy to debate on these topics

Open descent in thrust Climb mode, not good.

I don't know why some of you guys insist on flying these heavies knowing darn well they aren't complete then have tantrums when stuff doesn't work. With such beautiful scenery you should be enjoying instead of flying 32k ft pushing buttons following a magenta line lol

I replied in another post, but I'll send this to you as well

OK - so in flight when Autothrottle is engaged, it simply drops speed. Thrust levers in AT mode but nothing happens. It finally stalls. Tried both modes.

 

Check sensitivity on your throttle - go to sensitivity settings in menu system - that might help

I understand your point, and to me, this statement IS about as nitpicking as possible when the 'core of the experience' is reduced down to a few parameters in the flight model for this and other planes, all of which can presumably be tweaked by someone w/ better knowledge.  98% of users will have little to no idea those parameters aren't spot on or close enough, and I'm sure a few of those folks posted about that.  Quite frankly as I'm flying over Ontario CA OTW to Michigan's UP I'm happy to be experiencing la belle indifférence to this level of detail.  Been at it for going on 40y now, but not a RW pilot, so can live w/ imperfection flight modeling.

The point is that the FSX turboprop modelling which seems to have been pasted into MSF, was inherently flawed.  Rob Young has done a miracle with the P3D T-Duke but couldn't do everything he wanted (see his manual). Majestic had to import a model from the outside for the Q400. It seems that the possibility of such an import is not guaranteed  in MSF closed architecture. We'lll see.  

I find it a pity that MSF doesn't come what I and many consider as a proper turboprop.

I understand your point,  

 No you  don't. What is less important for you might be more important for others, as good simmers as you are. I love the visuals and the sensations but I'd rather have a turbo-engine behaving as a turbo-engine. This is a flight simulator. And that instead of calling the other guy a nitpicker, a little tolerance would be welcome.

I flew from KMEM to KBNS (memphis to nashville) IFR with ILS 20L  approach in the A320 last night.  I  use the A320nx mod (post update) and the aircraft is very well behaved.

I second Shawn's statements on being setup based on weight and CG.  It sounds (no pun intended) like you have some hardware / driver / network issues going, but I think with

a little guidance on the operation of the airbus (there's plenty on the web) and the A320nx mod in  the community folder, you'll find that the aircraft  isn't the primary source of your 

bad flight experience.   I own  the P3D Aerosoft A320, and much prefer the MSFS with mod plane, and it only gets better thanks to the great Fly by Wire team.
