Hi all. I recently picked up the Lionheart Creations TB-21 GT as I fancied a decent IFR touring aircraft that can fly at altitude. However, when attempting to fly above 10,000ft it almost starts behaving like a normally aspirated engine rather than a turbo. Looking at the PIM, I was expecting around 24.7inches of manifold, with 2500rpm & 75% power at 13,000ft. Instead I was at FULL power, 2500rpm and it was barely scraping 20 inches of man-pressure. I uploaded a YT video demonstrating my findings: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kj2nyvg3Xwc (the video is still processing as I only just uploaded it) As far as I'm concerned I wasn't doing anything wrong. All the systems were on, fuel valve selected, mixture leaned using EGT, oil pressure & temps in the green, I tried flicking on & off the fuel pump and changing the prop pitch, but nothing was getting me close to the numbers I was expecting. Am I being a dafty? I am using MSFS v1.33.8.0 and the latest release of the Lionheart TB21 (v4.4.2) Any input would be appreciated, with thanks -

Love love loving my B377, but having a few issues this week. Starting to fly longer and higher now and discovering that (as expected) around FL150 that the manifold pressure drops off and it is more of a struggle to maintain a climb. My understanding is that full throttle + auto-lean mixture in combination with pushing the turbo boost higher should counteract this drop? What is strange then is that, with the Turbos and Eng station completely under my control, the Turbo boost level seems to have no effect at all on the plane. I can set it from Zero to full whack and notice no difference in Man Pressure, temps, performance or anything else. All the turbo bypass/mode switches are set to Climb/Cruise and the overrides are all off, so it should be engaged. Turbo bleed is on, but I thought this needed to be on for the pressurisation system? Even if I turn on the Engineer, he seems to do little to boost my performance! Am I just expecting too much from the bird at these heights...I thought she was good for a comfortable 25000 or so? Any ideas guys? Cheers! (and yes, I know I should probably try the A2A forums...and I will if you guys don't come up with anything...I just shuddered at the thought of registering for yet another bloody forum. Besides, this place is my home now!) -
Hello All ----- Still struggling with my sound issue on the TBM 850. The problem is that after auto-shutdown, the full power turbo sound remains steady, without any gradual decrease, until the prop comes to a complete halt. Then the sound cuts off abruptly. Anyone else have this problem?? I have both SP1 and SP2 installed over an original early download of the 850. If no one else is having this issue, maybe I should uninstall the 850 with the SPs and download the most recent version, which should have all updates included. (?) What say 850 flyers??? Thanks ---- Bob <_<
