Worn aircraft?

[SPADtrap]

Hey

Still loving my TBM as ever and hugely excited for the CL650 but for now I have a question, is there a way to 'add hours' to my TBM and perhaps add some wear in? A 'used airplane' button so to speak? I'd love to simulate buying an aircraft for example that isn't brand new. 

I am also curious, in the maintenance screen, the MFD/PFDs etc, can they actually 'wear'?

Adding hours and wear?  I have to say, we haven't had this one requested.

I have to say, this isn't something we've looked at.  When you load the TBM, it does come with some hours added, but as far as adding hours, this isn't planned.  

The hours do accumulate, the longer you fly, though.  And parts do wear out.  Even when the sim is shut down, the wear and hours are maintained for as long as the aircraft is flyable.

Thank you for the reply, Goran!

I have to say, I like the idea.
