Socata TB-10 and TB-20

[Martyn]

Here are a few pics showing our next project, the Socata TB-20 Trinidad.

With its 250hp engine and retractable gear you'll be able to cruise comfortably at 150kt, an ideal touring aircraft and something a bit different from the usual Cessna's and Piper's

Looks really good - would love to see a TB-9 Tampico too (I earned my PPL on that one!). The TB-9 is quite popular in Italy as it was widely adopted by the Italian AeroClub.

Definitely looking forward to this one. Always admired the one we have at the club and which I never had the chance to fly/ride.

TAKE MY MONEY!!!!!!!!

This looks AMAZING!!!

I wondered when we would see on of those!

Very nice, definitely makes a change from Cessnas and Pipers.

Several air forces use them if I'm not mistaken.

Oh wonderful. Back in FS9 days I had Bill's Socata (Lionheart). This was one of my favourite low wings.
If this baby runs in P3D, even by EMT, I will surely buy it.

Looks very promising.

Looks great! However, I noticed that a company called IDS - Innovative Development Studios, is advertising this as theirs. Something fishy going on, or are they a contractor for JF?

If you scroll further down the facebook page, you'll find this beneath some further pics:

"Some say we only focus on scenery development and work exclusively with Aerosoft. We don't. Here are some W.I.P pictures of our Socota TB20 for Just Flight!"

IDS will be supplying the model but this will be a Just Flight product.

That's a great looking model! I hope it will support Flight1's GTN units

The TB-20GT was the very first freeware aircraft I developed back in 2002 for FS2002, then later updated for 2004. In fact I still have the "Developer's Award" from FlightSim.com for "Aircraft Design Excellence" hanging on the wall above my development desk.

Good grief how absolutely primitive it would look next to this stunning 3d model!

 

[Dino Cattaneo]

The model looks great!
It may well be the first GA aircraft I will buy!

...and PLEASE keep in mind that turning it into a TB-9 is relatively easy

Below yours truly in front of the TB-9 I used to fly almost 20 years ago...

Back in the early 90s I flew a friend's TB9 out of Riverside, CA. to Livermore, CA., fixed landing gear and I think 160hp...great aircraft!!! If I hadn't already partnered on a Cessna with another friend I would have bought that Socata. Lionheart made a Socata Tobago and Trinidad that was pretty nice. I lost that hard drive and the plane Lionheart made. Looking forward to seeing this one become reality.

Work is progressing very well on the Socata. Here are a couple of new preview pics:

For those of you with an interest in GA aircraft, we've posted some new pics of the TB20 on the website - http://justflight.com/product/socata-tb20

Work is progressing well on the avionics/systems and we'll be showing it off (along with our next, yet-to-be announced, military jet aircraft) at our Cosford show in October (http://www.flightsimulationshow2015.com/)

Very nice, Martyn. Looking forward to this one!

Looks great! A GTN 750 could nestle right in there! Any word on whether or not a GTN integration will be included?
