Random question about the tbm future updates

I was just wondering if the 5 bladed prop version has a chance to be brought to the sim ?

That would be fantastic!! The 5 blade Hartzell has such an awesome look!

@Jouxeur33 To be completely accurate it would require a re-written flight model and W&B. The entire flight envelope changes with a 5 bladed modification to the factory TBM8. It would be cool though.

yeah i know thats why im wondering if it has a chance to be done :)

@Jouxeur33 Send these folks an email and see if you can get the performance charts for the 5 bladed kit on a factory TBM8. Would be a good first step... ;)
