"Accelerated Wear Model" vs. X-plane's "Set Mean Time Between Failures"

[N265AB]

I'm just wondering what the implications are if I select both of these options. I really the idea of simulating wear and possible failures. I'm just unclear if both features work together in the case of the TBM.

Thanks for your help.

You can certainly set your own failures in X-Plane if you want to practise procedures.

Ok, thanks. So how is that setting different from the TBM? Is it that the TBM setting produces wear and tear, and therefore if you don't keep up on maintenance you'll have a failure?

[Goran_M]

The wear and tear we've implemented involves the day to day running of a TBM.  The X-Plane failures module is there should you wish to set things like, for example, the engine to fail at a particular time, so you can practise engine out procedures.

Great, thanks for the clarification.

Your TBM sim is hands down the VERY best, most detailed and realistic aircraft I've flown so far. I'm actually afraid to crash it and hope I never do! Keep up the great work!!
