Update for you all, albeit a brief one.  The TBM is still coming from BS.  Being developed alongside the Duke's.

No guarantees but possibly looking at an October release for the TBM, we're badgering Nick at BS for further details and some latest screenshots so we can get the 'Coming Soon' product page live on the Just Flight site.  Hopefully that will happen within the next week or two.

Thanks for the interest thus far.

Excellent news, thanks for the update.

Yup me too, EHSI and EADI 😃 (I struggle with anything less..) 

 *I GET Lost* 😂😬😳😳

I Like *almost* (or the early) glass avionics

I think the Beechjet-400A/Hawker400XP has a great mix between new & old gauges, some glass-gauges & some Steam-gauges.

😄😃😄

Does the 850 external body differ much from the 930? I know they’re planning on using the default 930 external model right? I think I can see that the winglets are difference from the 850 to the 930. 

I think that IF Nicholas wants to? (depending on eventual time constraints)..?? 🤔

He CERTAINLY IS **more than capable** to make a seperate 3D-modell for the TBM-850.

I have studied his Beatifull 3D-modell work on the cockpits and now on the Airframes of Starship/ Beech Duke's , I would not be so surprised if he actually makes the TBM-850 as a complete aircraft, 😊😊.

Especially now that he has some aircraft/SDK experience, and basically all the "neglected default planes" are fixed with retro-avionics that most needed it! 😃

and not "just a" TBM-930 retrofit *with old avionics* 😉

Did he choose the TBM-850 specifically for the version Stevokinvo1 uses to fly on @youtube? 

Or at least "it is fairly close" approxmiation of it at least..

I Think so?? That's a really interesting panel/plane and I can Imagine that maybe just maybe Stevo are helping him? They are both in Florida it seems?? 😁😁 It is allowed to dream right?? Hehe..

Hey.. Did not the Baron 58 retrofit have:

*a no winglets-version*

I seem to remember that in some pictures? 🤔😳😳  In that case the TBM-930 could perhaps be "quite close" to a TBM-850 ? 😳😳

That’s what I’m wondering. I feel that all the systems modeling and details would go to waste if it’s just put into a different external “shell” if you will.

yup! + SWS is doing a TBM 850 910 and 960. I'll probably wait for that. 

One of the issues i have with using the default Asobo external models is that for some aircraft if you create custom external cameras you see modelling anomalies.  These anomalies are not visible with the default external views but are can very obvious if you create your own especially with the Caravan.  Then there is the lack of opening doors etc that most developers include in their aircraft models.  If Black Square are going to stay in this business they should move on and create their own models which presumably they. doing with the Duke.

The product page and manual are up: https://www.justflight.com/product/black-square-tbm-850

It looks amazing! And it is a proper TBM 850 exterior model!

HYPE train!!!  Opening doors....engine detail.... PMS/TDS GTN plus WT GNS....come to papa!

Note the lack of winglets denoting the true TBM850....seems like Black Square did a lot of modifications...

Wow, this looks amazing. I’ve just read the manual. October cannot come soon enough.

Beautiful plane and paint!

I hope someone is working on OPF.

I thought I heard someone was...  but maybe that was just me dreaming lol.  Seems like a good airport for Verticalsim to tackle.
