There's even a TBM Facebook group. Get out there and let people know about this on a broader platform. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdflyer Posted November 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2018 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marpilot Posted November 30, 2018 Report Share Posted November 30, 2018 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.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marpilot Posted December 19, 2018 Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 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!

You should gain a few fps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shinjo Posted February 13, 2019 Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
