. Comprehensive feature list includes correct operation of the “ailerspoilers” – narrow airbrake-like assisters that improve aileron authority.
. Accurate flap operating gear, fully detailed landing gear and even individually modeled ventilation louvres in the airframe.
. All doors and hatches open to reveal battery packs and a fully detailed engine bay.
. Additional items include an authentic GPU on its own trolley, intake and exhaust muffs, pre-flight flags, prop-tie-downs and wheel chocks (all switchable from the VC).
. Amazing detailed HiDefinition textures bring the aircraft to realistic life and include specially developed techniques for rain spotting and streaking, stains and dirt and uniquely rendered “bump”mapping reproduces panel ripple and pillowing!
. Correct prop/engine thrust off-set.
. High resolution reflective and chrome textures.
. Fully animated, realistic pilot movements
. A choice of female or male left seat pilots is provided and also a lifelike passenger who switches from inside to outside the aircraft when unloading luggage.
. Models can be selected with and without this passenger.
. High quality digital stereo sounds recorded directly from the real aircraft.
. Models available include options for pilot door or no pilot door in a more basic style, CARGO version.

INTERIOR MODEL
. Using the very latest in modelling and texturing techniques, the interior is practically real!
. The panels themselves have leather grain finishes which hold their detail even in extreme closeup.
. All placards are reproduced in pin-sharp clarity and can be read at any distance.
. Every switch, knob and lever works just like the real thing – many with unique programming code.
. Inside animations : yoke hiding in the Virtual Cockpit, pull out coffee cup holders, sunvisors that can be dragged to any position, pull out tables in the cabin,...
. Leather finishes in the cabin are incredibly realistic and add to the feeling of quality comfort in the interior. You can almost smell the leather!

SYSTEMS
Programmed specifically for this Wilco TBM, the panels include fully functional MFD and PFD units which not only operate realistically but have traffic avoidance systems built in.  The big central Garmin 1000 unit is controlled by a fully functional, specially programmed control unit, just like the real aircraft!
