Forthcoming update for the TBM8
-
The BlackSquare TBM 850 is still my favorite GA aircraft in MSFS.
Besides smaller fixes and technological upgrade to match the Dukes, my biggest wish is a customized sound set. The default Asobo TBM 930 sounds definitely do not match the fidelity of the 850 aircraft rendition itself.
I personally (!) would also be willed to pay a small amount for an external soundset by Boris Audio Works or FTSim+.
With the latter I recently made good experience by exchanging the Citation Longitude's and PMDG 737-800 sounds. Although often underestimated, a new good set of sounds has a high impact to the overall immersion when flying.

@Black-Square Sorry for the ping but the speculations are running rampant so maybe you could chime in on the status of this update.

I'm speaking on behalf of Nick at Black Square here so my information may not be 100% accurate but we're aware that Nick is testing the TBM 850 update currently. That's been ongoing over the weekend and into this week, so it should mean we're not too far away from seeing the desired update but I'm unable to give an exact date just now. It's not forgotten though and is currently a priority.
One thing to mention, the update will not include a Sounds update. Sorry if the expectation was that there would be one included in this next update but that's not going to be the case. Not being counted out going forward but no firm plans for that currently.
Thank you.

Great news 👍🏻

Great, thanks for the update.
The sound upgrade is more a big wish, rather than an expectation since the advertisements clearly said the TBM will use the default sounds as a base.

Great update !
Never mind for the sounds, they’re just a would be nice to have. On the other hand, what you gave us is really useful.
So many thanks for the continuous improvement of this wonderful aircraft. You’re showing respect to your customers… kudos for that !
