Is anybody else experiencing an abrupt weird change in engine sound during flight. I've had it happen during climb out, as well as during normal cruise. Everything will be going as normal with great constant engine sound and then all of a sudden, it's almost like the sound resets. It comes in at a much lower frequency and slowly builds back up. I looked around to see if this had been brought up here, but I didn't see anything in my brief search. 

Yes, I have

Yes, the sounds have become "vacuum" like on my end like 3 times.  Going to external view fixes it, and I don't have that issue with the other Black Square aircraft.

[dusty_sourdough907]

The solution for me is/has been the same. Exiting to external view, then back in the saddle view.

Likewise, no similar issue in any of their other aircraft.

Another weird thing is selecting HDG from NAV.  I keep the HDG bugged up, but if I select HDG to exit NAV the plane begins to bank

If you let the bank continue, what happens, how "far" does it turn. Does it eventually settle down on the bugged heading?

Yes I do think it fixes itself.  I need to try it without an active ILS signal.  I think both times it was with an active ILS signal tuned and GPS on NAV.  But selecting HDG should override any other mode laterally regardless.  Tonight, I was essentially headed into KTIW and closing in on the approach beam (RWY 17).  I needed to use HDG to obtain a better intercept angle than the NAV waypoints were giving me.  As soon as I selected HDG it started to bank and I messed with the HDG knob which seemed to "wake" it up.

Anyone using a honeycomb bravo notice trying to engage IAS via the hardware isn’t working?  
 

Using the mouse to click the IAS button works fine however.

I have one and I am pretty sure it’s working, I can check a bit later. 
One thing that might be worth checking is that the button is not assigned to something else in the MSFS controller setup

All good here too, so may be worth checking assignments as RJC68 suggests

Same here except that the IAS button on the AP doesn't seem to work as well .  Still trying to debug whether it is me not knowing how to use IAS for FLC on this aircraft or something else.  Need to do more flights to confirm.

EDIT  Correction the IAS button on the AP itself does work as expected but IAS on the Bravo does not - pressing that causes the IAS button on the Bravo to light up briefly but it then changes to VS.

(As an aside from all this I have to recant earlier posts of mine expressing no interest in an analogue TBM - I came to this view after realising this would be a TBM 850 circa 2006 and not a TBM 930 with replacement steam gauges.)

Yep.  IAS is working fine.

Hey everyone,

 

I'm really enjoying this aircraft but am having trouble with the Autopilot. I have the PMS GTN750 (paid version) installed, the Autopilot Master and other avionics is on, CDI to GPS but it's not capturing NAV consistantly. Added to that the Nav and Hdg lights on the AP panel never illuminate. The aircraft will follow a Heading but only sometimes the flight plan in Nav mode. It's frustrating as it makes it less realistic./

 

Apologies if this has already been asked (I did do a search) and I'd really appreciate any advice.

 

Cheers

did you switch the GPS to VLOC mode ?

"follow a Heading but only sometimes the flight plan in Nav mode."

to follow a flight plan the autopilot needs to be in NAV mode and the GPS switched to CDI/GPS mode. to follow a VOR or a LOCaliser/ILS approach you need to switch the GPS to VLOC mode. Autopilot always in NAV mode, except when you select a heading manually (HDG mode)

Thanks turbo, no I was in GPS not VLOC mode. That's what I use for all the other aircraft that have the PMS GTN 750 and it works fine there.

perhaps I misunderstood you when you said "it is not capturing NAV consistently". to follow a flight plan, autopilot needs to be in NAV mode and GPS show CDI. only when you begin your VOR/ILS approach you would switch the GPS to VLOC mode, by pressing the CDI button.
