X-Plane 11 - Hot Start TBM 900 

Awesome job Jeff! X-Plane did an amazing job with this. 👍🏼

You hadn’t even started taxiing yet and i was already convinced. I paused the video and went and purchased this aircraft immediately. It is absolutely stunning in all aspects. It is expensive but it is worth every single cent

This has to be one of the most in depth and incredible payware aircraft available today. Just the level of detail for it is amazing.

I know that this is a Sim forum, but in most real ga aircraft with a G1000, FLC is used for climb and VS for descent. Alternately you can use FLC for both, but it's not considered a good practice to use VS for climb. Here's why: VS uses pitch to maintain your vertical speed (these autopilot controls have no control over the throttle setting). If your vertical speed drops below the rate you set, the aircraft will pitch up in an attempt to reach the VS you set. If your power is set too low, or if your power level drops (because of increasing altitude and lower air density, or because you have an engine problem, or you overheated the engine in climb, or because you turned the carburetor heat on accidentally... etc) the autopilot will pitch up to the point of stalling (or to the point of overheating the engine) trying to reach your VS setting. And that's dangerous if you're not paying close attention. VS is most often used on descent because you've usually calculated the point at which you'll begin your descent (Top of Descent) based on a particular rate of descent in fpm. VS makes sure your descent point calculations work out right. And it will reduce the down pitch if you exceed the rate you set, so there are no safety issues. FLC uses pitch to maintain the airspeed setting you set. If you set power too low, or lose power, or partially lose power on climb, the aircraft will reduce pitch up to keep your airspeed at the FLC setting, and that's the appropriate and safe thing to do in that circumstance until the pilot takes over. Plus maintaining the prescribed climb airspeed or higher is important to keeping the engine within the proper operating temperature. FLC works fine for descent too, but because you're more often interested in your rate of descent to make sure your arrive at pattern altitude at the right point, VS is used more commonly for this.

TBM is my favorite single turbo prop! Thanks for flying it!

Jeff Favignano one of the reasons it darts around on landing is when in reverse a lot of the air movement over the tail is blanked out. Happens all the time in my plane at work.

I’m so glad you mentioned Stevo1kinevo because I know their was a RU-vidr I watched that flew a TBM, and couldn’t place him! I love how in depth they get with this model, god damn!

This and the Aerobask DA62 are the only properly modeled complex AC G1000 and this is better with chartview, synthetic vision and more features. Outstanding!

Hi Jeff, many thanks for posting this video. After watching this I purchased the TBM straight away. I am fairly new to the sim world and I have to say I've learnt so much from watching your videos, so thank you very much and keep up the good work. Mike from UK

Can't wait for the 950 Hung Start model

I did my training over at Naples Municipal (KAPF) used to frequent Fort Myers to practice Instrument Approaches. Ended up at Page Field if it was too busy at RSW. Good times!

This is the best freaking add on for X plane 11. I have fallen in love with the TBM!

When Steveo goes gear up,He always "tap the brakes"....Lets not forget... :-) ..

Love your vids jeff. I clicked on this one simply because I saw the TBM and said "that's what steveo flies". Pretty cool that you threw him a bone. He makes awesome vids

I've been following Stevo for quite some time and love that 850 TBM! This plane looks like a must have! At $65 bucks though I think I'll wait until I learn what I'm doing in X Plane 11 and with the REP Baron I just bought but having issues with, maybe I got a lemon, yeah I'm the lemon that apparently couldnt figure out the install exactly right lol but I'll get it. This plane looks amazing and I really enjoy your videos! They have been a big help to me as a newbie X Plane 11 simmer.

I love the general aviation videos man can’t wait for the next one

lol TBM never had such good marketing exposure before Steveo's videos.

Its a PMDG level GA aircraft :). bought one in FSEconomy and flew it from north Africa up though UK, Iceland, Greenland and on to Denver. So much to this incredible addon :)

I have been waiting fr your tutorial so i could decide wether or not i shud buy thx for uploading

Damn, after initially falling in love with MSFS and then to be cursed by the recent bugs and general dirt beneath the exterior I'm seriously thinking of grabbing XP11 and this for my round the world trip, looks like this is a leaving breathing airplane akin to A2A!

I would recommend using FLC instead of VS for climbing.

Been looking forward for you to fly some smaller planes. Great job Jeff 👍

Stevo is an awesome RU-vidr! Found him about a year and a half ago and the quality of flying content is outstanding

Awesome I walk past N851TB every time I go flying at KOPF, unfortunately have yet to walk into stevo at the fbo

Great video as always! I never thought I would spend so much on a GA plane but it's completely worth it. They did an amazing job, and this plane sets a new standard for me when it comes to GA aircraft. The idea of feeling like you actually "own" the plane by taking care of maintenance and how it "remembers" the way you had it configured after the previous flight is awesome and adds a new level of fun to the sim, at least for me. The ability to create and customize your own tail number is an awesome bonus. I wish more GA aircraft had that feature. I really hope the guys at Hot Start eventually make a business jet and with the same features!

If you do a collab w/ steveo1kenivo i would 100% watch it

I already watch Steveo1kinevo which is why I’m here. Lol. Awesome huh.

This is awesome Jeff! you would almost start a role play charter service with this plane if this would be possible in XP11. In depth cost control from income, fuel and maintenance etc.

It is soo freakin awesome! Normally, I don't want to spend that many bucks on a GA plane, but this is... No words. If some airliners with the same price tag would offer half as much features as this plane has...

I just bought this tonight and I’m excited to try it tomorrow I’m gonna take the time to learn it but I have to say I think I was more distracted (amazed) with your graphics at that airport

Cmon Steveo you gotta come watch this! As always excellent video Jeff!

Man I used to fly at KDAB a few years ago. Sure brings back those memories

I have to say, as single engine turbo props go, this one is a beauty. Great video Jeff, just had to subscribe.

Nice video Jeff ,cool plane model.

Really good video. Very enjoyable. Looking forward to the next one.

I WANT THIS !!!! amazing and great videos dude keep them up i learn a lot by watching you so thank you.

I've watched this three times and love that plane. Seems like the creator did a great job of modeling it and adding the touches like repairs and what not. I'm gonna have to try it out I think.

reminds me of steveokinveo

I found Flight Level Change instead of Vertical Speed works quite well and more managable say your 150kts and press FLC it will maintain that speed throughout the climb and when descending it will decend to the speed your going and using the throttle as required. More throttle = small vs descent and less = more steep descent :)

Jeff I love your flying videos. But for the future, you usually don't cruse at 18000 because that is when you switch your altimeter to 2992. So 18000 ft is kinda like a buffer zone to traffic below and above.

nice flying bud, i dont know if you done a big transporter plane, the mlilty one would love to see you do that

Can you please fly more with this plane

Beautiful lane. Nice flight. If I were to learn this game this is the plane I would want. The Kingair 350 is very nice too though.

When able, you should use FLC vs VS for climbs (helps to prevent autopilot stall). Great model though and great start up procedures.... love that TBM!!!

I love you bro can you come to Montana

Great video as usual Jeff. The complexity of this model is really nice. Makes me want to buy X-plane. Doubt I could remember all the controls because I'm not a pilot. Really cool though.

Do a video with cptcanada!

What a beautiful plane. They did a great job with it.

This is extreme study level, will definitely buy this when i have the moolah.

What a great add-on with stunning visuals. Not sure I fully follow the new hot start of this aircraft.. I used to fly TBM 900 in xp10 and had somewhat mixed feeling about it. Maybe i'm just not modern enough when it comes to general aviation.

That horrible looking 2D cardboard palm tree right after you said you're going to turn and cross 7L, made me LOL!

👍🏾 Good vid. Plane looks amazing. Can’t justify the steep price with FS2020 around the corner.

15:46 Ayye Embry-Riddle in the back!

Well looks like we have the same birthday and I do my tail numbers the same way

Was looking for my house as you crossed I-75

Absolutely love how Embry-Riddle was modeled in!!! Go Eagles!!

I live in fort Myers FL that's awesome

In my opinion this is better than the flight simulator one

Thanks for a well - constructed video. When I first looked at this aircraft, I thought what an ugly beast, but the more videos I watch the more I'm swinging to liking and thinking of making a purchase.

just brought it and got to say i love it. and im not a big GA fan but this aircraft is incredible

Yes !!! need to keep uploading x-plane 11

great video! It would be nice to review the landing from outside as well.

The pulsing landing lights are called wit wag mode.

VIDEO REQUEST: Please fly FF 767-300 in American Airline livery with the secy winglets. Thanks!

Great video as always Jeff. This completely blows away the Carenado TBM-850.... Which has still not been updated for XP11 and proper PT6 operations... Pathetic on Carenado's part, and so frustrating they couldn't see the current market demand for Daher TBM series aircraft . But now I can't wait to get this HotStart TBM-900! Only wondering why they just didn't do the TBM-910 with the G1000 NXi? Maybe they'll just skip ahead to the G3000 and do a TBM-930 :). Aside from Steveo, be sure to subscribe to Jason who owns a real 900 (now with NXi), as I think he helped with HotStart's development of this project.

All of the railfans know the pulse lights as ditchlights

TBM 930 gives you two more touch screens instead of the push button key pad under the Garmin screen. It also has the Garmin 3000 instead of the Garmin 1000. Freakin' awesome planes though and both are more than I could spend on one.

Lol, Jeff. That's what I have an A&P for. Taking care of the airplane.

The pitot tubes have not been removed, just the covers. Please don't remove the pitot tubes. :-D

That's a nice model!

Love The Series Man, Please Keep Them Coming !

Jeff fly Nassau Bahamas, MYNN 🇧🇸

Hey Jeff! In the TBM you should climb via FLC and 124 knots for optimum climb :) And for the baro you can just click it and it will set standard

You forgot to mention it comes with a daily update lol! I am already up to v1.07😄. Sorry I could not resist.

Folks please head over to Sim Brief Forums and ask them to add the HotStart TBM. I already created a post. EDIT. The TBM has been added to Sim Brief

I immediately recognised that livery, big fan of Steveo.

I love your videos, keep it up bro

dream plane

Tail number should be N711JF ( 711 for your birthday and JF for Jeff Favignano)

Hey Jeff, I don't know if you still see comments on these older videos so I might spam your newer ones too, but I'd love to see another TBM flight. Preferably some Northwestern America (Seattle to wine country California?) Thanks as always for keeping us entertained.

A great video Jeff, thanks. Is the gentle rocking of the cabin from the propeller rotating at 11:39 XPRealisticPro or is that the TBM? Very realistic, love it. I never would have thought it but the synthetic vision can really help with staying aligned with the runway on takeoff and I love those boxes to guide you in on landing, beautiful work. Such an amazing piece of payware.. I look forward to owning it one day too!

Great now I have to got out and buy the real TBM so I can fly it on my sim and have both.

What a neat simulator. Very informative, detailed, and easy to use. I noticed there was never a mention about oxygen. How does that work in the TBM?

I thought this was gonna be another steveo1kinevo video.

Always like your vids Jeff, well done.

On the external view, as the plane passes by, the engine sounds goes from typical turbo sound to a sound like it's going to fall apart! What's up with that X-plane? Beautiful plane, though. Wow!

Big fan of Steveo's channel! This TBM is looking pretty cool, too!

Good video, Jeff, as always.

Jeff you make it look easy!! Thanks for a great video!!

May you please fly the 747 800 again but with the Lufthansa livery

Just tried playing this on my PC. I got 20 FPS. Im gonna go cry in my bed now.

For your next lspdfr video you should the Michigan state police cars. Great video btw

sould i buy this plane or should i buy the premier 1 and the 550NG?

Make a video about how to install lspdfr ,how to install stuffs(cars,scripts etc) and how to use it

Thank you for the video, I enjoyed watching it. I have been looking at this plane and I am on the fence about buying it (I mainly fly the airliners), Having said that it is growing on me, maybe something to use for my new Orbx TE GB South which is fantastic:).

Just look at the graphics in x plane omg

That is a gorgeous plane.

Hy bro when are you going to upload an video on gta with buggs

Hey ! I use the same Jetgo GPU for connecting the planes at work. Much better then the box looking ones
