Thank you! I must have looked over it in the manual, will check it out right now!

Hi all, I'm currently planning to do a flight around the world in the TBM 900. I just got it last week and I have to say that it is the best plane I have flown in X-plane as of now. Thank you for bringing this aircraft to us! I did run into a little problem, however. When planning the flights, I have to do some legs that are quite long (around 1300 miles). According to the website of the TBM 900, it states that its maximum range with reserves is around 1730nm (http://www.tbm.aero/products/tbm-900/). When I enter this information into my fuel planning page (I use this website: https://pohperformance.com/TBM/index.html and I made sure to select the TBM 900) it proceeds to give me fuel levels that are beyond the maximum fuel enterable in the aircraft in the sim (the maximum is 296 gallons, whereas the fuel planning page easily gives me fuel values of above 300 gallons). I can't seem to figure out if either the Hotstart has the wrong values or that the fuel planning page is just wrong. I also can't seem to find any performance related documents related to the Hotstart TBM anywhere, so I can't compare the numbers versus the real world counterparts. Could anyone help me to see if the maximum range of 1730nm is correct? Also I was wondering if I just missed the performance manual in the plane. Thanks in regards! Richard
