Thanks Martyn. If it's just my install, and no obvious answers, then I will put in a support ticket. The Trinidad is such a nice
add-on, I want to get the Tobago up and running too.

Thanks again- Rob

FYI, solution for engine quitting on loading when switching between TB10 and TB20 found on JF Forums.

Thanks - Rob

This beauty came out the day I was leaving on vacation. I managed just to make the purchase but did not download. Now that I'm back I installed this latest version. I am more than happy as it looks behaves great. Kudos to the developers and all that helped to make this duo. This is a plane I know I will enjoy much.

 

[Martyn]

Glad you're enjoying it!

An update should be available within the next few days which increases the realism of the FDE, improves the autopilot and GTN compatibility, and adds some new and improved functionality.

Hello Martyn,
Do You talk about GTN 750 patch ?

 

[Martyn]

Our modeller/texture-artist has only just returned from his holiday so the GTN 750 (and hopefully dimmable lighting) would be available in a separate update.

what happened to this update?

 

[Martyn]

I took a holiday and some further work was required (by me and others) before the update was suitable for release. I've just returned and I'm now sorting out some final items for this update. More news shortly!

Am I the only one having a major problem with the autopilot of this plane? When I switch from GPS to NAV and let the AP do the approach, the plane gets beserk and starts going in a circle! Is this an already known problem?

Cees

I just tried an autopilot ILS coupled approach in the TB10. I have found that after switching to NAV with the GPS/NAV switch, I have to continue my current heading in HDG mode at a reasonable angle to the runway (with ALT enabled) until the Localiser needle starts to move. Then I press APR which flashes until it locks on to the Localiser and then turns in the direction of the runway. It is fairly slow to react, as I would expect of a fairly old unit.
Having said that, it just failed to capture the glideslope! So I need to experiment a bit more with that, but in general, I would not expect the autopilot to perform miracles, and to allow enough time for it to do its thing!

Although that's not an issue that I'm aware of, the update (due for release early next week) includes numerous improvements to the autopilot and its operation with the GPS, GTN 650 and HSI.

 

[Cees Donker]

The autopilot is definately not functioning as it should. It won't fly the plan I put in. In short: as an AP it's useless. Pity of such a nice plane. Hope this will be fixed?

[Martyn]

The autopilot has been improved in the upcoming update but the current version is certainly not 'useless' on our PCs as is functioning as per the real unit. The only significant (i.e. not user specific) issues that I'm aware of are related to F1 GTN integration and pitch hold not re-engaging after another vertical has been deselected. I'd suggest you contact our support team if you haven't already done so.

I have just purchased the TB-10 and TB-20 which I can assume contain all the SPs and updates. But one question I have to ask is why is it always so hard to find the paint kits on the Support page? I have this problem with every JF plane I purchase. Maybe we need a link to the PK page as nothing shows in the list of questions.

 

[Martyn]

Hi Pat. The paint kit should be in located in - [Simulator directory]\JustFlight\TB-10 Tobago and TB-20 Trinidad\Paint kit\

Depending on the size of the paint kit (sometimes they are nearly as large as the product itself!) we will either install it into the JustFlight folder when the product gets installed, or alternatively provide a link to download it on the product's support page.

P.s. you'll have the latest version if you downloaded it after approx 9am GMT today.
