I always wondered about the stock TBM flap drag vs Mugz mod

I see in the notes for the upcoming update that one of the fixes for the TBM is fixing excessive flap drag. I always wondered about the behavior of the stock TBM where eventually going to landing flaps, it actually takes a throttle increase once they’re deployed. Mugz mod doesn’t have that behavior and now with one of the fixes to the stock version being excessive flap drag, it appears that the Mugz mod is the more realistic.

Depends on the speed. Increased flap deflection means more drag = more power required.

The mod is very good and many of the settings come close to the POH. However, dropping the flaps requires a power input far above the proper levels, so it’s good that this is going to be corrected or improved.
