Jack Sawyer Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 This is the TBM 900, it's outstanding, right up there with A2A and PMDG, in fact better in some ways. You really have to be careful with this plane as it will break easily if you don't fly by the book but I absolutely love it. Anyway, I wanted to make an Orbx to Orbx airport flight like I usually am wont to do but I left the gas caps off and in one shot you can see gas just streaming out of the tanks so I had to try to land in a hurry. It was cool because I could see the fuel indicators falling. I made a nice landing at EGTF, Fairoaks after departing EGTR, Elstree, both VERY nicely done! First shot, over temped the engines and added fuel too soon, so a jet-BQ! Back at it. This plane has some serious git up an' go! Don't know if you can see the fuel streaming out but you can se the caps off. Oops! In XP it's so incredibly smooth that looking out the window at Fairoaks was surreal.

olderndirt Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Very nice texturing of the concrete slab runway. Full throttle for very long usually results in flames but they always come up with a new one . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M110A2 Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Good shots Jack and a good lesson to learn from. Thankfully it is only a simulation, new at the time of their release $3.7 million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
