Wilco Publishing TBM850

Wilco Publishing announce the first in a brand new HiFi Simulations series : the TBM850 !

The Wilco Publishing TBM850 has been studied in-depth to provide the best to the PC pilot.  Every tiny detail, every panel screw and rivet are meticulously depicted in 3D. Even the tyres have raised lettering and are grooved !  More cockpit functions than ever before. Super detailing in the cabins, cockpits and exteriors.
 
Cockpit arrays and instruments built by the best in the business bring you new levels of functionality and interactivity to make your flight experience rewarding and challenging. Flight dynamics programmed by real-world aviation engineers bring a new sense of reality to your virtual skies.

Above all, total realism has been the goal with this production and you get it.
 
 
Socata TBM850 - The fastest single-engine turboprop

Up to 320Kts, the TBM850 offers the cruise speeds typical of light jets with the efficiency and economy of a single-engine turboprop. The large propeller can be utilized as a powerful aerodynamic brake, allowing landing on extremely short strips and runways.

Built by DAHER-SOCATA (www.tbm850.com), the TBM850 is the perfect blend of BEAUTY, TECHNOLOGY and EFFICIENCY.

EXTERIOR MODEL
. Built over the best plans available and with direct access to the real aircraft.
. Comprehensive feature list includes correct operation of the “ailerspoilers” – narrow airbrake-like assisters that improve aileron authority.
. Accurate flap operating gear, fully detailed landing gear and even individually modeled ventilation louvres in the airframe.
. All doors and hatches open to reveal battery packs and a fully detailed engine bay.
. Additional items include an authentic GPU on its own trolley, intake and exhaust muffs, pre-flight flags, prop-tie-downs and wheel chocks (all switchable from the VC).
. Amazing detailed HiDefinition textures bring the aircraft to realistic life and include specially developed techniques for rain spotting and streaking, stains and dirt and uniquely rendered “bump”mapping reproduces panel ripple and pillowing!
. Correct prop/engine thrust off-set.
. High resolution reflective and chrome textures.
. Fully animated, realistic pilot movements
. A choice of female or male left seat pilots is provided and also a lifelike passenger who switches from inside to outside the aircraft when unloading luggage.
. Models can be selected with and without this passenger.
. High quality digital stereo sounds recorded directly from the real aircraft.

INTERIOR MODEL
. Using the very latest in modelling and texturing techniques, the interior is practically real!
. The panels themselves have leather grain finishes which hold their detail even in extreme closeup.
. All placards are reproduced in pin-sharp clarity and can be read at any distance.
. Every switch, knob and lever works just like the real thing – many with unique programming code.
. Leather finishes in the cabin are incredibly realistic and add to the feeling of quality comfort in the interior. You can almost smell the leather!

SYSTEMS
Programmed specifically for this Wilco TBM, the panels include fully functional MFD and PFD units which not only operate realistically but have Weather Radar and traffic avoidance systems built in.  The big central Garmin 1000 unit is controlled by a fully functional, specially programmed control unit, just like the real aircraft!

PANEL FEATURES
. All-glass integrated flight deck with a Garmin G1000 avionics suite
. Two fully-featured 10.4” TFT LCD Primary Flight Display (PFD).
