I have downloaded the 2.0 version of the TBM-850 from Carenado. I absolutely love this aircraft and since downloading have rarely flown anything else....but, there are a few opportunities. I've sent a bug report to Carenado and was told my issues would be considered in a future release, but there was no reply on expected date of an updated release. Here were my main issues. 1. Master Caution light would come on everytime you advanced the power lever, then returned it at or near idle. This was driving me crazy during taxing and landings. I was able to unzip the GAUGETBM850 gauge file, then edit the Gauge_Anum_MASTER_CAUTION.xml and find the piece of code that was causing the issue and comment it out. Master Caution still seems to work for all other things requiring a master caution. 2. FLC or IAS AP climb mode. I love using the FLC, but whenever I set it, it acutally maintains an IAS of about 40 knots over what I select, so if I want to climb out at 140 knots, I should be able to VS at 3000 Ft/Min and let my speed bleed off until it reaches 140 IAS, then click the FLC button and it should continue to climb at 140 IAS, adjusting VS as needed to maintain 140 knots, however if I VS to 3000 ft/min, click FLC at 140 knots IAS, it drops the nose, gains speed and slowly starts to climb again at around 180 knots IAS, so If I want to really climb out at 140 knots IAS, I have to VS to 3000 and let the speed drop to about 120 knots IAS, click FLC, then using the VS adjustment wheel to dial the IAS in the PFD down to about 100-105 knots and it will climb at around 140 knots indicated. I can't seem to find the code for this so if anybody knows where it's at I would much appreciate it. 3. The ITT gauge in the PFD/MFD appear to be reporting temps in Fahrenheit instead of Celsius. I also can't find a gauge file for that so I'm not sure if it's part of the model or the .AIR file or something, again, any help would be appreciated. That's the things I'm looking for. On another note, I did find a way to setup my MFD with options I prefer such as Heading Up Map Orientation and having the Map Nav Ring on by default. Now I don't have to set those options every time I start a new flight. So if you're wanting to set any of the MFD options to defaults you prefer, I'd glad to help. Thanks in advance. -KJ
