MAAM, famed for their fabulous DC-3 and B25, have released their new TBM-3 Avenger for Flight Simulator 2004. This, I’m sure, will be a “must have” for warbird fans.
With the Avenger Package, MAAM-SIM continues its tradition of presenting flight simulator models that are meticulously researched and duplicated to the highest standard.

Our model has been vetted by real pilots on our beta team, the “BTBT”, including a couple real-world Avenger pilots, retired Naval Aviators, corporate pilots, airline pilots, and private pilots of vast experience. The end result is a flightsim experience that is the next best thing to strapping into a real Avenger.

The TBM in this FS aircraft add-on package has been designed to duplicate, in appearance, sound, and performance, the TBM-3 Avenger, tail number N109K, owned and operated by the Mid Atlantic Air Museum. It was designed by Grumman, but built by the Eastern Aircraft Division of General Motors. (If the plane was built by Grumman it was designated TBF. If it was assembled by Eastern, it was a TBM. Other than the change in nomenclature, the TBF and TBM of the same model were identical. ) Our version is equipped with the necessary modern radios and the associated instruments that allow her to be flown in today’s ATC environment. It features MAAM-SIM’s signature photo-real textures, inside and out…
