Gorgeous TB20 - but the TB10 needs some work.....

Thanks for the feedback Dave. The TB10 has a different cockpit and exterior model, FDE and sounds to the TB20. 

Hello,

I just buyed your TB10/TB20 and made some first flights with both models. The exteriors and interiors are really nices, and the global handling seems quite fine.

I will have to built a 2D panel, because I use a home cockpit, but I knowed that before buying.
It is just a little desapointing to see that some features don't use the standard FSX controls, as some switches (fuel pump, landing lights...), so it will not be easy to use the physical switches of my cockpit.

About the flight model, I agree with tb10driver. It was a long time ago, but I flew TB9, TB10 and TB20 in France in the 90th years, and your TB10 fly really too fast. Your "flight computer" is a nice feature, and it allows to see that the planes doesn't fly as the performance charts in the manual says. At normal altitude for a short flight 3000 fts QNH), flying "23/23" (PA 23 and 2300 RPM) should give around 120 kts IAS, and we have more than 140... And I agree that with full flaps, more power is needed to maintain the approach path in the real airplane. The flight model need to be updated.

I also have a problem with EGT in both TB10 and TB20 models : At low altitudes, with normal RPM/Admition pressure like 23/23, and mixture full rich, the EGT needle is stuck at top of the gauge, and it is impossible to lower EGT using the mixture lever. This does'nt seem normal.

I will continue to test your nices Tobago/Trinidad. I will tell you if I see some other perfectible items.

Best regards
