Yes. Update: I should clarify this. We will not be releasing production versions of the Saab that "require" the experimental flight model. Austin will always be adding things to the experimental flight model and we may not be aware of them or have tested with them. So, due to the potential instability of the experimental flight model we will not recommend (nor support) you use it with the Saab, but that is your choice. Of course, when the features in the experimental flight model get moved into the base sim we will test and release updates as necessary.

As it is always good to know and understand the math behind everything to do with the performance of the aircraft you are flying. Well... Not good but should be a must. I use either this website or app (both iOS and Android) that is built for the real TBM to use in real life flight planning. They are stand alone apps and not connected to XP in anyway. But I have to tell you it's almost 100% spot on every flight I do with the TBM. Feed in all the information like fuel on board, pax weight start and destination airfields and so on and it spits out a lot of numbers. It even gives you current ATIS for both airfields you enter... Even has everyone of the TBM checklists and so on. It's a really hand app to check out.

Hello, To get the appropriate cruise set up, you have to go to the section 5.8 of the POH (TBM official's one) : "The torque must be set at or below the value corresponding to the local conditions of flight level and temperature. NOTE Inertial separator must be OFF and ”BLEED HI” MSG OFF. Example : for FL = 260 and OAT = - 22°C, the following tables give the maximum torque to be set. Maximum climb power : TRQ = 83 % for IAS = 124 KIAS (Add 0.5 % of TRQ for each additional 10 KIAS on climb airspeed) (cf. tables Figures 5.8.1 and 5.8.1A) Maximum cruise power : TRQ = 97 % (cf. tables Figures 5.8.3 and 5.8.3A) Recommended cruise power : TRQ = 92 % (cf. tables Figures 5.8.4 and 5.8.4A)" In short, in cruise, you have to check the Torque Power, not the IAS : at high altitude, set the Torque Power around 90-95% (you will have to increase the throttle when you climb, the opposite on descent). Good flights, Daniel.

I hope this site is better than x-plane.org... what a bunch of dipshits running that place...one of their moderators posted a garbage plane, I couldn't even get it to work, so I gave it a one star review so then the asshole got all bent out of shape and suspended me for over a month..
