Trinidad TB21 GT (MSFS)

Take a Test Flight in the Turbo-charged Trinidad!

This is the sleek, high-performance 4-seater from Socata Aerospace in France called "Trinidad." The TB-21 GT, a 250HP Turbocharged Edition of the Trinidad line, was a fast cruiser that could go 200 MPH or more than 180 Knots. Some had oxygen systems built in so that they could fly up to 25,000 feet ASL. She was made with a very high-tech interior, like the Lotus Esprit and Lamborghini Countach of that time, which had "instrument pods" on the instrument panel. Even now, her instrument panel looks more modern than those made by other companies.

Requirements

• A High End computer that can run MSFS smoothly is most recommended because this package consists of a high amount of 4K resolution textures.  A Strong graphics card with at least 2Gb VRAM, but preferably 4Gb of VRAM and at least 6Gbs of RAM are  required.  You might need to 'relax' settings in the simulator to run this plane in low end computers.
• You will need to know where your 'Community' folder is in MSFS on your computer.  You will need to direct the installer to your that folder when installing this package.
