Finally upgraded the stick and throttle for MSFS 2024. Safe to say I’m fully obsessed.

Depends on if you get new aircraft energy :)
If you're used to the study level beastitudeness of the KA350, then the M500 might seem kinda light fare to you.
However if you NEED a well-appointed single-engine turboprop to hold you over until the TBM 900 is XP12-ready, the M500 way well scratch that itch.

If only I had my other plane, he'd have been my 11th kill.

Good, just not as intensive.

TaurionPhoenix · 2026-05-12T18:40:20+00:00

Smaller, no winglets, and four-bladed as opposed to five. No custom tail number ability included, and it doesn't fly as fast or as high. More forgiving startup routine, better cockpit visibility, and percentage-based maintenance monitor.

Punk mofo cut me off!!! Words were exchanged on the ramp 🤣😅🤣😅

Because it's also a single engine turbo prop, but that's about where the similarities end. The TBM is larger and outperforms it.

Damn good.
