The new TBM850 by Wilco

Odd of them to make one straight after Carenado... But it will more than likely have better frame performance and looks like it has more features... I'll take one! :D
 
by far the Carenado TBM 850 Looks Far nicer and and does not look like plastic model....
Like most of carenado's new aircraft its WAY too shiny and plasticy... and its frame performance SUCKS like most of their recent ones again... This could well be far better in that regard. I'd take this over that hunk of junk any day.
 
The Carenados dont Look Shiny or like cartoon planes The Wilco Aircraft Look like Toys Plastic big time i got there tilt rotor And Boy What a Waste of money it was! wont be geting any Other Of there payware stuff again even if its on sale

:salute: Carenado Plane Are some of the best Ga Aircraft You can Get And they Look The best and the models are the best!

They Dont Look Like they were Created for FS2004 I have seen Freeware aircraft Which Have More detail then Wilcos TBM 850
 
I think our views differ... Carenado's recent aircraft are frame hogs and way too shiny externally... 20 layers of clearcoat. And I hate their phototexturing. They lost me as a fan a while ago.

As for wilco.. this aircraft isnt 04-alike or like a toy... plus comparing recent ones to the tiltrotor (which is ancient) is unfair.
 
Good to have diverging opinions. Probably should leave it at that. For sure it will be someone's favorite. Once released there undoubtedly will be considerable input.
 
I just like to see things given a chance... the video looks good though... it has potential to be good... but we can't see for sure till as you say, it comes out.
 
Carenando definitely wins for looks. But let's see how this one flies. Also theG1000 looks stock from the inset map so I'm guessing there won't be Navigraph capable data. Hopefully I'm wrong!
 
Also theG1000 looks stock

You might wanna take a look at the feature list. See link above.
From the blurb

  • Fully automated LNAV and VNAV capability down to 250 decision height for LPV approaches (localiser guidance)
  • WAAS/LPV approach capable

Does that look stock to you?

I think it looks good and I'm looking forward to this bird.
I only hope I can get rid of that prostitute which stands beside the plane (video at 30sec).
 
Could we avoid these middle age-style comments please ? We're not all religious ultra conservatives here.

heck, that comment made me actually look at the video and if she comes with the aircraft, it's a selling point for me, LOL. :jump: that is conservative attire where I live, LOL.
 
Would you all mind dragging your knuckles just a little bit less please? It's rather disgusting to hear you all going on like this. Any wonder why there are so few females in the FS community?
 
Undoubtedly we have more than our fair share of Sheldons, Leonards, Howards and Rajs here (and I include myself!) and let's face it it's the designer who included the female (and A2A for Heidi) and the comments have not been lewd in my opinion, so give we nerdy males a little elbow room.
 
She hardly resembles a prostitute in my eyes... and that is a fairly nice/conservative dress... (short but nice) But you do have a point Rodger... You do deserve room but don't forget us Penny's too... (or sometimes Amy)... A2A's Heidi was cool... And there's nothing wrong with this female model at all... apart from the dribbling. There aren't enough Females in sim aircraft. The throw away comments though are endemic... and usually seen as acceptable... it drives us off. I guess this was just the nearest soapbox... Sorry guys... Its something that really bugs me. (I've been driven off several forums due to rather tasteless lewd behaviour by members who didn't give a toss who they offended.) You don't see female simmers dribbling verbosely over male sim pilots do you? You haven't seen me rubbing my thighs over carenado's recent figures ? :D

I apologise for jumping a bit hard... I over reacted.

Sorry, didn't mean to offend. I develop and belong to several communities, including SIMS3 which is mostly women and try to keep it PC, but we all have different levels of what is PC or not. I have been around adult entertainment and musicians most of my life, but I try real hard not to fall to that level when on forums, LOL
