Continue my ferry flight France Australia. Stock clouds don't look so bad in 11.30B6

[marpilot]

Actually they look very good.What a pity they redraw from time to time

Put the word out on Facebook.  There's even a TBM Facebook group.  Get out there and let people know about this on a broader platform.

Unfortunately the biggest XP community facebook group I'm part of - XPNG does not allow "self promotional" ads, that includes VAs. This leaves me with Leading Edge Owners and xEnviro groups which seems like VA pitch would be quite irrelevant.

But it's ok I'll wait. I didn't expect big crowd anyway LOL

TBM900 is great but the heaviest on FPS so people are aware to buy it.

Among owners not many fly in VA's or they can fly also Socata in the VA they actually are....

Yes could be true. I have checked many XP oriented VA before starting my venture, and couldn't find many any TBM in the fleet list there  although  I did see similar aircraft such as PC-12, C-206 and etc. But it's ok perhaps some day may be someone will find useful. So far my real world flight instructing pays for all VA expanses

For now I use smartCARS it was easier to integrate. Other acars systems are not off the table,  but there is no sense to try  anything else now  LOL

Hi,

do you find ActiveSky much improvement over default clouds and weather?

Yes it has some improvement which at times looks better than stock cloud. Also redraw weather faster than other weather engines on the market today. Thunderstorms are pretty awesome and effect flying true them finally comes to terms with real life. So over all I'm very happy with it

Finally TBM has been delivered to Australian customer!:)

[marpilot]

With smooth landing, congrats!

I wish I could have stable 25+ FPS so my flights online don't last longer then in  reality.

It is also with other planes - I need to set outside view, because in cockpit FPS drops often to 19-22 which is too slow

XP 11.30 is beautiful but hungry beast!

Turn off heat blur.  You should gain a few fps.

charter to Alaska

I'm interested but can barely fly the plane yet ...

I generally fly around SoCal so I can use PE so this sounds great once I get a bit more experience with the TBM.
