Thank you for sharing!

Nice shot!

I think that the TBM 900 on this video was built and inspired by Hot Star team because it looks like Her, the one that I have in my sim!!!

Since I've started fly the HS TBM... I find myself hoping I run into icing conditions.

The owner of that actual aircraft (Jason Miller - Co Owner of Foreflight) helped us throughout the development of our TBM.

Careful what you wish for, i ran into icing after 50+ hours in the plane, it was brutal, totally lost all my speed, ice was forming rapidly, I tried to get out of it but it all ended up with me crashing too the ground. My airframe was tottally destroyed and i had to make a new one. I almost cried:p

Sounds like you didn't do something right then... Have run into icing conditions on 3 separate flights now in the TBM. One of then was from 16k down to surface with no problems.

Damn, the real thing is even more gorgeous than the sim plane.

Yeah, probably noticed the icing to late, turned on all anti ice knobs i have inthe plane, but i just went down down down, until i kissed the ground and my virtual pilot was dead..
