August 31, 20232 yr I'm super excited for this. Have been loving the BKQS Caravan and King AIr but the TBM is my absolute fave so this will be a day one purchase for sure. I'll have to actually follow the checklist to start it up. Hehehe...
September 4, 20232 yr The price for this one has been posted. $42.99. Looking forward to it. Always found the airspeed indicator a little bizarre, but it is a great performing aircraft. I don't get why people don't like older avionics. The newer Garmin inset panels make every plane look the same inside. The older gauges give it character and actually make it easier to fly in a sim when you can just scan an instrument. Having all your performance numbers, engine parameters, menus, flight plan/map, and other stuff crammed into a rather tiny screen is not that ideal in this simulator. I realize in real life it's probably a welcome change, but I find something like the G1000 or similar awful to interact with when I need a menu item. - Chris Gigabyte Z790 Aorus Elite AX | Intel Core i9 13900KF | Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4090 24 GB | 64GB DDR5 SDRAM | Corsair H100i Elite 240mm Liquid Cooling | 1TB & 2TB Samsung Gen 4 SSD | 1000 Watt Gold PSU | Windows 11 Pro | Thrustmaster Boeing Yoke | Thrustmaster TCA Captain X Airbus | Asus ROG 38" 4k IPS Monitor (PG38UQ) Asus Maximus VII Hero motherboard | Intel i7 4790k CPU | MSI GTX 970 4 GB video card | Corsair DDR3 2133 32GB SDRAM | Corsair H50 water cooler | Samsung 850 EVO 250GB SSD (2) | EVGA 1000 watt PSU - Retired

Makes the aircraft feel and look like an aircraft.
