Just to be clear, I know 11.5 is in Beta, so this is a question, not a complaint. Has anyone flown the TBM 900 with Vulkan switched on. I can get all my aircraft to fly except the tbm.it just doesnt load? Tks Just wondering if its just me or a general problem. As we all know, the TBM-900 by Hot Start is hands down the most detailed aircraft for X-Plane (and maybe all of flight sim). But, nothing, not even the TBM, is perfect. That's why I've made this mod. BetterTBM aims to improve the cockpit textures in general and also fix some minor issues, many of them caused by issues within X-Plane. For operation of the TBM 900 airplane. It also contains supplemental data supplied by the manufacturer. The GARMIN G1000 Integrated Flight Deck Cockpit Reference Guide for the Socata TBM 900, No. 190-00708-05, or any later version as applicable, must be permanently kept in the airplane with the Pilot's Operating Handbook.

Version 1.1.13 of the Hot Start TBM-900 has been released today, making it the first update the aircraft has seen in just under a year, following v1.1.12's release in April 2020.

The long time between drinks can likely be attributed to the development time spent on Hot Start's second project, the Challenger 650.

To learn more about that product, check out our article from May 2019, when the aircraft was first announced.

Back to the TBM, the changelog, as ever, is split into two sections for 'enhancements' and 'bugfixes'.

Enhancements

Aircraft will automatically default to the X-Plane experimental FM
Performance improvements to panel rendering code should result in less CPU time being eaten up every frame.
Integrated new GCU478 keypad commands for stock G1000 integration.
Migrated to new OpenAL 1.21.0 build to resolve some issues with the default audio device sometimes not being detected properly on Windows.
Added option to disable popup clickspots in VR under 'Configure Visual Effects'.
Added support to blink the MIC light on the audio panel when using xPilot.
New command mappings INI for RSG hardware.

Bugfixes

Window centering would sometimes cause a window to appear off-screen.
LOC/VOR arming could crash due to a NAN value being attempted to be filtered.
Additional hardening against somebody engaging stock X-Plane autothrottle.
Reduced engine oil quantity life, because we should be burning oil a bit faster.
Increased engine oil quality lifetime, the oil should last a LONG time.
TAS system hardening in case NAN values are returned by X-TCAS.
Bottom TCAS antenna wasn't touching the fuselage.
Torque bugs aren't supposed to go away when gear deployment signal is missing.
Engine torque display on EICAS wasn't correcting for X-Plane TP engine model quirks.
Nav data parser wasn't compatible with new X-Plane 11.50 navaid format, breaking the localizer receiver.
DME range wasn't being displayed
AoA indicator was black
Rain effect should work under Vulkan (might require selecting 'Low').
Incorrect logical inversion could wreck havoc in autopilot CDI switchover logic.
macOS: Bumped macOS deployment target to 10.13, since 10.12 is no longer supported.
Fixed rain effect not appearing in the right eye in VR under Vulkan
Fixed the HUD bleeding through the glareshield.
UI scaling would break rendering in the Maintenance Manager.
Mac build would crash due to querying non-existent OpenAL context for error information
Mouse interaction with the oxygen mask wasn't correct when using UI scaling.
librain fix for ice effect flickering in the left eye in VR.
Climb/cruise torque bugs aren't supposed to go away when gear deployment signal is missing.

X-Aviation, the publisher of the aircraft, recommends users visit their account page and download the new installer to get the update for themselves.

Alternatively, new users can purchase the Hot Start TBM-900 for $64.95 USD from the same website.
