What a great aircraft. Just one thing bother me i couldn't get conclusive answer from videos.  What Is the right side of the throttle for ? The feather mode with the high and low idle. what exactly is it for ?  I assumed its used for ground operations but why does it bring the ITT temperature all the way up ?

High-idle is a take-off setting and it's also used during final approach and landing just to prevent any last minute maneuver that requires full power, like a missed approach, presence of cross-winds, wind shear, etc.

Low-idle is just for ground operations like taxiing and must be set at that position before starting up the engine. The ITT goes up when in high-idle mode because the engine is at its maximum power setting and that's normal.

By the way, are you getting the TBM to work normal, I mean the AP, after the latest patch?. I also like the TBM very much.

Here is a link how its works

I love this bird but there are several issues for me after the last patch:

• PFD freezes when an approach is selected
• Autopilot erratic reaching climb altitude using FLC
• Autopilot is erratic when reaching the GS on an ILS landing

Thank you but they did not gave an explanation regarding the low idle and high idle.

Thank you. With regards to the AP, i try to keep it simple and works good. NAV, HDG, VS and ALT. 

I'm loving the TBM too, and the only problem I've noticed since patch 3 is abrupt changes when Autopilot reaches altitude or descent setting.  To cope with that if I'm using FLC to ascend/descend I will switch to VS to reduce the climb/descent maybe 1500' before the target altitude will be reached.  Just a fine-tuning issue I'm convinced.  ILS landings have been good, but once again it helps to try to match the descent rate when GS is about to engage.

I don't have any of these problems and I fly the tbm extensively 

I haven't tried it yet. Is this the only bird in the sim that's working well at the moment?

Not sure if its the only bird that working well but you should try it, it's a really fun hybrid of GA/Bush flying/IFR.

Not sure about it....

sorry i really don't think so 😳

It's a bug, You can avoid it by moving the throttle into flight idle instead. It seems the flightmodel doesn't provide a mechanism to unfeather the prop in both low or high idle thus causing the turbine to overheat. Quite expensive IRL. As much as I like the TBM,  it's one of those quirks I don't get with MS/ASOBO: you provide a checklist, and the simulation doesn't behave accordingly. The whole Turboprop simulation is to be overhauled, and that may take some time as it is in their Backlog according to todays update notices.

You can support the issue by upvotimng here if you haven't done so already.
