MSFS TBM 930 Project 0.5.5

This is the improvement project for the MSFS default TBM 930.

Due to professional reasons, I had to move to another city and I no longer have access to a flight simulator. This project is now closed, and if anyone wants to continue its development, just fork this repository and do so. Thanks for all the support so far!

I highly recommend using Working-Title G3000.

And for liveries, see this post on NexusMods.

Change ATC call sign to "TBM"

In the real world the TBM 930's ATC call sign is not "Daher" but "TBM". To change this:

Open in <MSFS2020 Install Dir>\Official\OneStore\fs-base\en-US.locPak in a text editor
Search for "ATCCOM.ATC_NAME_DAHER.0.tts":
Change Daher to TBM

      "ATCCOM.ATC_NAME_DAHER.0.text": "TBM",
      "ATCCOM.ATC_NAME_DAHER.0.tts": "TBM",

Note: This will reset after every update of MSFS.

Current features of this modification are:

Removed the 30% gap between 0 and 30% throttle:

tp_high_idle_throttle_pos = 0; (default = 30)

...so then I needed to ajust:

n1_to_shaft_torque_table = ... 68:0.12, 87:0.88 ... (default = ... 68:0.09, 87:1.0)

Corrected some numbers:

pitch_takeoff_ga = 10 (default = 8)

min_n1_for_starter_cutoff = 52 (default = 50)

min_n2_for_starter_cutoff = 80 (default = 200)

rated_shaft_hp = 850 (default = 0)

CG_aft_limit = 0.355 (default = 0.36)

rotation_speed_min = 80 (default = 90)

cruise_alt = 31000 (default = 30000)

best_glide = 120 (default = 0)

Ajusted torque vs air density table:

density_on_torque_table = 0.0005:0.01, 0.0006:0.4, 0.0007:0.5, 0.000850:0.7, 0.000950:0.745, 0.002378:1.000

(Calculated using POH Maximum Cruise Chart)

(default = 0.0005:0.01, 0.0006:0.4, 0.0007:0.6, 0.0008:0.75, 0.0009:0.9,0.000975:1.0, 0.002378:1.000000)

Landing gear creates more drag (by PositiveZero):

drag_coef_gear = 0.04700 (default = 0.01000)

Fuel flow ajusted:

fuel_flow_scalar = 0.72 (default = 1.0)

Added Uwa’s light mod v1.08
Added Audible Alert Fixes by PositeZero
Light changes by mixMugz

Known Issues:

(Vanilla issue) ITT is a big problem. Increasing it makes the engine overheat on the ground, and decreasing it makes it stays too low on cruise level. Asobo's cfg is very limited, so I decided not to make any chances on that for now;
(Vanilla issue) Fuel consumption is increasing during climb, which is the opposite that should happen. It's lower than it should be at lower altitudes and higher than it should be at higher altuitudes. That's not happening only on the TBM, and it's a vanilla MSFS issue. The fuel flow will match closely on cruise altitudes, and will be way lower on lower altitudes.
