There’s an article on the preview over at FSElite.

I’m curious how closely these will follow the Arrow III release as I may just skip the Arrow III knowing that these are inbound.  I tend to enjoy the faster GA aircraft...

Looks good! Only sad that the simulation of turbocharged engines in MSFS is just as bad/unrealistic as it was in FSX and P3D.

T-Tail Turbo Arrow IV 😃

Yes that appears to be the case.  

They can’t be far off release because they have now officially announced their Hawk for MSFS is well in development. 

Isn't the Turbo III just marginally faster than the non-turbo and only really needed when doing higher altitude flying?

Taking into account how bad the turboprop simulation is in msfs i just dont know how much sense it will make to get the turbo arrow. I think the naturally aspirated arrow will be more realistic.

And probably easier to land, too. 🤣

Two totally different things

• turbo prop - jet turbine with a propeller bolted on
• turbo normalised - piston plane with a turbo charger boost to get better performance at altitude

The Turbo Arrows is NOT a turbo prop it is a piston engine plane with a turbocharger.

 

THIS is a turbo prop ...  jet engine > gearbox > propellor

Unless it's like the turbo on the Lionheart TB-21, which doesn't appear to make a lot of difference. 🙁 Be interesting to  see if it rotates differently though with that T-tail. I must admit, it'd be funny to see a PT-6 bolted onto a Cherokee though. 😮

No idea about the Trinidad, but generally speaking the turbo chargers or in some cases multi stage superchargers on aircraft are not meant to give a substantial performance increase at ground level they are meant to counteract the drop off in performance at higher altitudes and  increase the operational ceiling of the aircraft.

Turbo-props, which are modelled very poorly in MSFS at present, are a totally different kettle of fish. They are basically a jet engine with a gearbox and prop on the front.  Horsepower from a turbo prop can be insane compared to a piston engine. Many turbo pop ag planes for example have more HP than a WWII Spitfire or P51 .

Yup. Which doesn't really happen with that TB-21 unfortunately, it has trouble climbing much past 20,000, whereas it should be able to get up another few thousand feet as the real thing can with that turbocharger, although some people have allegedly tweaked the config file to make it happen. Hopefully when the patch which tweaks the air mass simulation in MSFS arrives, we might see a turbo acting more like the real thing though, although technically, it might help superchargers more than turbochargers.

Ohhh you're right., my bad.

So the turbo arrow wont have a screwed engine simulation then? In that case i may need to get both 🙄😔

and the hype continues.....

Between JF & Carenado, 3 Pipers in the works, one of which is a duplicate.

How about something different, a C310?😀
