Good job Diggy. You answered many questions for me about this plane in a very succinct manner. I really appreciate you taking the time to do this!

[@andrewsanderson1235]

Great tutorial. Many thanks. So far the TBM is my favourite GA aircraft. And as you say, it’s a very fast airplane. Keep up the good work captain.

[@DiggyPowell]

Thank you! So much more content to come! Let me know if there something in specific you’d like to see!

[@andrewsanderson1235]

Diggy Powell good tip about fly runway heading once airborne. I’ve got AP mapped to the trigger button on my joystick.

[@sturedeng]

Really useful, just what I was looking for. Would love to see more from you.

[@DiggyPowell]

More to come! Let me know what you need help with for FS2020. Sorry about audio quality. will be fixed for future videos!

[@kathwood2570]

Just brilliant tutorial, many thanks from us simmers, learned plenty of this brilliant aircraft. Rothesay, Scotland.

[@DiggyPowell]

Thank you! Check out my RNAV video if you need more help! Audio is much better!

[@rogerkant3696]

Thanks for the great video and tips around handling the AP and an ILS approach. Have been trying to accomplish this and found it challenging but completed my first full ILS approach right over the numbers as you suggested. Particularly like the idea of getting on the approach course via AP then setting the HDG mode before switching to the APR mode which provides a very smooth transition into the ILS. Had to also remember to switch out of the ALT mode to allow the AP to find the GS. Thanks.

[@thesledge3481]

Well done. I was surprised that the TBM seemed to be unable to capture LOC or GS; wasn't aware (i.e. hadn't checked!) that the LOC freq may not be dialled in correctly or the correct approach not being selected even if it says it is on the top of the menu system. Good catch. Sub'd.

[@DiggyPowell]

The Sledge thanks so much! Let me know what other content you liked to see!

[@Speyde]

I find this plane so nice. You can search airport Info and set the approach and the ils frequency with on click

[@psychos1s151]

This was very helpful. Thank you!

[@DiggyPowell]

Sorry for the audio! Better videos coming soon!

[@sugarpoultry]

This was super helpful!!! Definitely my favorite plane and the one I'm working on memorizing the most. You basically never touch the yoke right? Only those last few moments before landing? Man I've definitely been doing this the hard way! haha

[@abrahamirestoy]

Thank you so much, from Spain!

[@DiggyPowell]

Hola! Mi español no es bueno pero gracias!

[@Ranek405]

Quick way to get the freq in the TBM for the ILS runway is from the MFD. Hit the Waypoint option to bring up a search for airports, type in your destination ICAO code, hit enter, hit FREQS and you'll get a list of all freqs for that airport in a scrollable list. From there (usually at the bottom) are the ILS freqs for each equipped runway, hit the freq and it will allow you to enter it into STBY or ACTIVE for both NAV1 and NAV2 (active on nav1 being what most probably want 🙂).

[@DiggyPowell]

Ranek405 I posted a better tutorial! I cover absolutely everything needed to know!

[@Skynet151]

Nice video, thanks for sharing! Would you explain maybe in another video the difference between the LOC and APP in the A320 or the 747? App is fine, but i miss what LOC does.. Anythime I am closed to the runaway and turn LOC on, it takes me completely somewhere else...

[@DiggyPowell]

You probably didn't have the localizer frequency tuned in right or did have the active nav to nav1 vs FMS. I will have to do my research on the a320! Stay tuned

[@kaiprzadka6896]

Yeah it Takes you somewhere Else, If you're A: Not Close enough, or B: wrong frequency. A shouldn't Happen, but the Autopilot is still Not working correctly

[@ioannischa1637]

Thanks for the Vid, great Content! One Question: You adjust the thrust manually right? Is there any Autothrust feature in the TBM 930?

[@DiggyPowell]

Ioannis Cha no auto throttle in the 930 although there is one in the 940 but that is not in the game

[@thecorporatepilotdad]

You called the GLIDE SLOPE (GS) on the score board the GPS way too many times to count around the 18 minute mark. Pro-Tip... Nav source should be on GPS until on final and CLEARED FOR THE APPROACH (Not once you're close enough).

[@DiggyPowell]

thecorporatepilotdad I’ll have to check on what I called it haha but thanks for the pro tip! This video is meant for the newer pilots and simmers who need some direction to make it work. When I fly for fun in the game I’m usually using VATSIM and trying to follow strict protocol to the best of my ability within the sim!

[@thecorporatepilotdad]

@@DiggyPowell I know. Not trying to criticize. Just trying to help. I'm glad you took the time and effort to try it.

[@DiggyPowell]

@@thecorporatepilotdad I appreciate to comment! I'm uploading a new simple video for ILS that is a shorter and less in depth video for anyone who just wants to try it without learning approach plates!

[@martynfaller8252]

Great video!!!! I learned a lot and you helped me realise how bugged that procedures - ILS approach setting is - hence why i just couldnt figure out what i was doing wrong on ILS approaches previously. Hope to see more videos from you again soon - but please please fix your audio, can hardly hear you.

[@DiggyPowell]

I'm glad you learned something. That was my first video for this channel and I'm going to redo the ILS video today. I have posted two other tutorials so let me know if those sounds better and let me know what content or tutorials you'd like to see yourself!

[@clarenceoveur9497]

Hi Diggy, what cockpit camera configuration (numbers) you are using? Like height, zoom, etc. Cheers

[@DiggyPowell]

You can configure your own custom preset views for each plane using (ALT + CTRL + any number you want) then access that by using (ALT + NUM ) Personally I use a Track IR on my head, so I can look around the cockpit! Then I use the arrow keys to shift around my position if needed!

[@clarenceoveur9497]

@@DiggyPowell oh I see, the default camera position you set looks great.

[@nedks11]

Is it possible to get the localiser frequency by asking the radio tower instead of using websites outside of the game? Thanks for the clear and instructive video for the aeroplane, my favourite plane to fly in the game so far. The plane is seemingly simple as it doesn't have too many buttons. A great start for your new channel. Do you fly in real life? If so, are any planes that you fly in real life in the game and how well simulated are they in your opinion?

[@DiggyPowell]

I chose the TBM because it's the most flown plane in the game and it's relatively simple to use. To answer your question, in short, no. You cannot ask ATC IN GAME for the ILS frequency. When you plug it in on the MFD, it should, in theory, plug it in for you but it is NOT working at the moment. The only way to get it, is to find it yourself unfortunately. I wish they made it more simple for non-pilot simmers. For now, I recommend using skyvector and if that's too much work then choose an RNAV approach which is fully done via GPS, no frequencies needed. Good Luck! Fly Safe!

[@DiggyPowell]

I am a real world pilot and I've flown the Bonanza G36 and all the Diamond aircraft (that's what I learned to fly first) The cockpits are identical and look amazing! The functionality of all the buttons and screens aren't implemented but it's good enough. And overall flight characteristics are pretty good but not perfect but at the end of the day the sim looks so darn good that I really can't complain at the moment and I'm sure it'll get better over time!

[@zapp442]

Might want to turn up your mic audio. Good tutorial. Thanks.

[@gorto1127]

Great video apart from the audio. I had system volume set to 100% and an chrome extension to boost volume to 350% in order to hear your voice, then when ATC started talking, it gave me a shock!

[@gorto1127]

@@DiggyPowell Already did, and well done. I subscribed.

[@nedks11]

Just so you know, using the airport search button in the plane, you can find out the loc frequency without having to leave the game.

[@gattibandz2808]

yes under airport info .. you can even put standby or activate the frequency in the nav radios

[@DiggyPowell]

I'll have to check on that. I'm not sure if it actually gives the LOC frequency or the tower freq. And what if there are 8 ILS's? Would it give you the right one? I'll do some research! But thanks for sharing!

[@gattibandz2808]

[@TheGarnisher]

That was quite helpful. Any chance of a tutorial on doing more or less the same with the Cessna Citation's system? I'm a flight nurse and we actually fly lear 35's but the citation is the closest thing so far in MSFS2020 so it's fun to simulate some of my real world flights with it.

[@raffialexanian]

Phenomenal video, many thanks for making it. I was wondering how did you set the final approach course? Or is that set automatically once you set the ILS frequency?

[@Dansnov1086]

Great video Diggy. I was flying the TBM the other day, and cleared to a fix on the loaded approach, I could not select to go D-> the selected fix in the MFD - the sim wouldn't let me select it. Any idea?

[@DiggyPowell]

No idea! Still a few bugs to work out! It worked for me in my VATSIM video!

[@balispotter]

Niceeee vids.. just subscribed your channel.

[@andrefinken]

Nice Video, helpfull. But not just for performance, you should turn off the initial seperator in flight

[@sansaratech]

Yeah, probably why ITT shot up. Not enough air through the turbine.

[@cryo9shadow91]

How’d you manage to start it with the plane engines off? Like start the whole level, not the plane

[@DiggyPowell]

Check out my Flight planning video! I go over a cold start!

[@jtepsr]

diggy, how do i get ils localizer for internation airports, skyvector leaves me short.

[@DiggyPowell]

Sky Vector is great for the US but falls short in other areas. Unless you have a nice EFB mobile app, (ForeFlight, Garmin Pilot, etc) I’d just look up the specific airport on google. Keep in mind not all airports will have an ILS approach. Almost all have an RNAV or some sort of Vertical Guidance.

[@cameronbidiix218]

Hi can you use the ATC when you manually plug in your flight or does it only work properly when you set it in the game menu.

[@DiggyPowell]

It does work if you manually do it while in the plane! When you're talking to clearance or tower, you can request to pick up your "Instrument FP (Flight Plan)" Even after you accept the original one!
