TBM 930 - "Picking Up" A New Plane In France?

[Ricardo41 5,949]

Loving the TBM 930.

Let's say I wanted to pick one up in France at the Daher factory. In which city would I do that, and which airport would I fly out of for a ferry flight?

Daher have a location at Tarbes airport and a quick hunt on the internet turned up a PR piece on a  delivery from Tarbes so that would seem to be a good bet.

Wow, you beat me to it! Your reply popped up while I was writing the location down...

There are two airfields in Tarbes. The one you are looking for is LFBT. That's where the final assembly line is located.

TBM modeling is a bit  of disappointing. While other prop aircraft somewhat  exhibit left turning tendencies in climb such as P-factor, torque and spiraling slipstream, TBM can climb with no rudder. Radar page in not accessible and represented only by NEXRAD overlay (which is not onboard radar but fed by satellite data. List goes on

Unless you are Olbi Wan  Kenobi  who is developing 3rd party mod for TBM, do file a bug to zen desk

I'm definitely hoping for some mods to this aircraft.
