Beta range prop thrust
-
I would like to report a possible issue with the beta-range thrust modelling in the MSFS 2020 version of the TBM 850 (v0.1.4).
When taxiing on a level taxiway, with approx. 50% fuel (2 Pax each 77kg) setting the throttle to approximately 60% of the beta range results in a delay of around 10–15 seconds before the aircraft starts moving.
Once movement begins, the aircraft accelerates slowly and continuously.
I find this behaviour rather unusual because the beta range should provide controllable positive thrust for normal taxi operations.
Interestingly, the Bonanza Professional has a much more convincing ground-handling response.
Could you confirm whether this is intentional behaviour in the TBM 850 simulation or whether the beta thrust response could be improved?
I am specifically using MSFS 2020, not MSFS 2024.
Thank you for your time and for your excellent aircraft development.
