TBM 930 G3000 GTC Question

[ark 1,294]

I am not using any mods for the TBM 930 or the G3000, and find that I can't enter a flight plan using the GTCs. Clicking on Flight Plan on either of the GTCs does nothing -- no response. Does this just reflect the state of the "no mod" G3000, or am I the problem?

Thx,

Al

The TBM (modded) and the g3000 (WT modded) have been a go-to combo for the last couple of years for me.  I haven't flown the unmodded g3000 for a long, long time so I can't say whether it has an issue in this area.  I can say that the modded version was so far beyond the default that I never used it again.

I haven't had many issues entering items in the flight plan with the modded version, though it is still a work in progress.  I usually import the FP, then make any needed edits before departure.

Thanks for the info. Do you happen to have links to the mods you are talking about?

For the WT g3000: https://www.workingtitle.aero/packages/g3000/

For the TBM 930 Improvement mod, the only thing I can find right now is: https://github.com/mixMugz/msfs_tbm930_project  The project is currently on hold.  If you have any issues report back to me in this thread and I may be able to give you some small edits that will help.

An update to the TBM improvement mod is available which works on my MSFS ...  https://github.com/luka97/msfs_tbm930_project/releases/

Hope that helps.

Bingo! Thanks for posting - that's actually the mod I'm running and it's working well.  I just hadn't recorded its location and couldn't find it with a normal search.

If you're interested in flying the TBM you are better ditching the mods and using the AAU beta....

I'm planing on using the AAU once the Beta period is over.

Yep, very true!  In this case I just prefer to wait until the Beta period is over.

I"m curious on how you control the uniqueTBM "throttle". Do you just use the mouse, or have you made some controller assignments?

Thx,

Al

[RandallR 446]

Both.  I use the mouse to bring it up into low idle.  After that it's all controller assignments:

• Joystick slider to cross over into High Idle
• Throttle quadrant for power
• Button on throttle quadrant for reverse prop

I have tried this several times in the past but it does not work for me.

Can you tell me where exactly you position the mouse pointer and whether you just click or click, hold and drag the throttle lever?

[Simjockey 29]

Click, hold and drag the throttle across, has worked for me.  Thereafter my normal hardware throttle works as expected.

It's been a while since I've flown the 930, I have a feeling that a right-click and hold, might be needed to drag the power lever across into the flight range?

Vague memory returning to me.
