awesome ! Thanks for the quick answer....I'm off to try the beta

Apologies for asking this if already answered, but I wasnt quite sure where to look. I just zipped over to Glasgow, Montana for a weather approach. Skyvector shows published RNAV and Vor approaches. But neither of the approaches show up in the King Air. I also tried to just navigate directly to the VOR, but the frequency never came alive even sitting on the airport itself. I know that in the early days of the Xplane 11 releases, a subscription to navigraph helped fill in some of these holes. So does navigraph work with MSF2020 ?

so last night, in a final effort to tame the wing down TBM, I set all the controls back to default and then let AI fly the plane. It worked..!... so, next I set the controls similar to the suggested post from HeavyApproach (5 or so messages ahead of this one) and hand flew. The autopilot is back where it once was. Prior to the last patch and hotfix, I had been using the Legacy flight model. I changed that back to Modern BEFORE resetting to default. I've only flown one flight since then, but had no issues, so I think the default may have straightened things out.

well......i thought at first that all was well. 2 minutes into flight, ap went crazy. I've been all over the place with control sensitivities to no avail. Thought maybe it was just me and so I let AI fly. AI did ok for a couple of minutes then rolled over and went straight in. So much for the interim fix......

might have been too hasty with the TBM....still problems with autopilot....I'll keep fiddling and see what happens.....

Fixed the TBM flying wing down. I'm happy.....so far !

I'm calling the ap too.....My TBM flew awful after this patch. I changed the sensitivities on the joystick with little result. The 172 and twins fly fine. This is a peculiar bug to the autopilot on the TBM. Shame too, as its really a fun plane to fly.

fuel is about the same in both. seems to be autopilot related. I can hand fly without too much input, but the autopilot is definitely not happy

172 ok, went back to the tbm and it's still wing down. very strange

I'll try it again in the 172 and see what happens

Anyone else have this issue ? Just loaded the TBM from Dallas to Houston. threw on the AP and left for a few minutes, and come back to see the aircraft trying to hold the heading with a wing down about 20 degrees. Never saw this before this last patch

Hello Ryan Love the plane, but.....I never could get it to trim. I move the trim lever, but it never holds the position and keeps going back to neutral. Am I missing something? I tried all sorts of throttle positions thinking maybe by reducing power, the plane would pitch forward but there was never a change other than staying at a neutral position. Great airplane, though, especially love the retracts !!

ok...good....i'll quit trying to move them then. thanks

Is it possible to edit one of the configuration files to move the visor up/down or out? I like the TBM a lot, but the visor position for me seems awfully low. So if that's something that can be edited in one of the cfg files, I'd sure like to give it a try.

I'd like to know as well.....I hate having those visors down when there's no real reason for them being down (or up)

wow !! Love your DIY stuff. I especially liked the simplicity of your opentrack IR device. Will that work in moderate daytime light, or is it dark room only?

Well said, Ray. Many thanks to all for the input. Looks like I'll sit on my hands a while longer.

one of the posters on another board was kind enough to send me a video of several games running in 1080, 2560x1444, and 3840x2160 simultaneously. So....since the 3000 series of cards aren't yet out, and my old 1070 runs my 1080 quite well, I thought I might go ahead and spring for a new monitor. But here's my question. If I buy a 4K monitor, will it run as well in 2K mode as a 2k only monitor ? If the answer is no, then at this point, it would seem best to hold at a 2K only monitor. Opinions ??

ok.....i'll try again later, but i just ran xplane through the same flight and it was very smooth

our weather in houston is clear and the winds calm. But even in the TBM, I'm getting knocked around pretty good. So .... I'm not sure the Live weather is correct. Previous flights the wind effect and turbulence was matched pretty well to weather reports. But not now.

well.....the load time is better....but the audio got worse. Bad enough Atc refers to any Ft,,, city like Fort Wayne or Fort Worth as "F T [city name]". Now they refer to Runway 1 or a frequency of 122.5 as Runway "o-n-e" or in the frequency its o-n-er two two decimal five.....And why are the voices more garbled? I understand garbled in a beater 150, but not in the 4 million TBM. Please....can we fix whats broke and leave the ok stuff alone ?!

Rats !! I was afraid of that....ok....many thanks for the quick response !

Many thanks, Ray. I think I'm going to spring for a 1440 monitor that is the same as my 27" existing monitor. That way I can see where we're heading and decide if later on down the road, the 4K is within reach. The nasty compelling addictive part of this hobby is I'm always reaching for the best performance for minimum cost. I'm nearly certain that once the full addiction takes hold, an entirely new high end build is all but certain. But the dogs and wife have to get fed first so there's that. 😁

I would like to know if using an nvme for fs2020 would shorten the load time for the sim. I'm already using an SSD which is reasonably good, but the wait times between setup and flight are a couple of minutes apart. If the NVMe would shorten this, I'm keen on moving to that. Thanks
