August 30, 20232 yr Commercial Member Can confirm folks that this comes with a brand new external model. Looks like it'll be Black Square's most advanced aircraft yet. We'll try and bring you more as we head to release, more in the way of new shots, some tutorial videos etc. Here are just a few more shots for now...
August 30, 20232 yr It's funny, IRL pilots want to upgrade their planes to the latest avionics. Here, we're paying extra to downgrade. Don't get me wrong, I'm doing it too and will get this on day one! It just seems funny to me. Rick Abshier 5900X | RTX 5070 Ti OC| 64 GB@3600 | India Pale Ale
August 30, 20232 yr I am salivating over these screenshots and information... AMD Ryzen 9900X3D & ASUS X870E Gaming Plus MB, w/64 Gb GSkill DDR5 RAM, PNY RTX 5090 GPU, lots of SSD's and M.2 drives, HAVN Case, Virpil VPC Panels 2 and 3, Virpil Constellation Alpha Stick, Virpil Rotor TCS Plus w/ Hawk-60 Collective grip, TM TCA Yoke Boeing Edition, TM HOTAS A-10 and F/A-18 Sticks and TM TPR Rudder pedals. Currently on Win11
August 30, 20232 yr Author That is amazing news! Brand new model! LOVE all the hard work and dedication from these guys! Jay| PPL ASEL || Ryzen 7 7800x3D | MSI GeForce RTX 4090 Gaming Trio 24Gb | ASUS X670E-E ROG Strix | 64GB G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo RGB DDR5-6000 | x2 32' 4K | Windows 11

There is no inop switch, every switch has some kind of logic attached to it, all electrical system are simulated, the circuit breakers are working, you get climate control and pressurization simulation, a custom flight model and a new inside/outside model. But I get your point. Edited August 30, 20232 yr by petz_e

August 30, 20232 yr This looks great. Instabuy if it's anything like his previous work. Looks to be even better. 9800X3d, 4090, 64 GB DDR5 6000 RAM, 4 TB NVME (2x2), 4K Ultra + Framegen
August 30, 20232 yr There's a lot of awesome inner workings in the manual that I have been reading about.... things like potential FOD damage from takeoff off from a turf/gravel strip (proper inertial separator usage), gyroscopic physics in the instruments, CRT's slow to warmup in cold cockpits, full operating CB's, failures based on MTBF, in depth "old school" avionics simulation along with our beloved TDS/PMS/WT modern avionics... You might not be able to do a walkaround (though you can look at components of the engine and open/close doors) but there any many many reasons why this will be an instant buy for many simmers. And yes...I'll be doing a paint or two LOL Edited August 30, 20232 yr by ryanbatc | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |
August 30, 20232 yr Looks great, I wonder if Steveo will fly it - to remind him of the IRL plane he once flew.

August 31, 20232 yr Not for me I see no point at all in an avionics downgrade in an aircraft like the TBM - but good lick to those who do I hope you enjoy it. Looking forward to the Duke.

All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us."

Looking forward to the Duke. Bruce This is one is much more in depth than the default TBM. While the WT avionics are wonderful and I enjoy them as well, I like having GTN and GNS support with analog gauges. | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |
