Socata TB-30 Epsilon

The TB-30 is the worthy successor of the successful Fouga Magister. We decided to continue on the lineage of French training aircraft and once more raised the bar !

This time we had the chance to visit and fly the real aircraft thanks to Vertical Flight Experience. It allowed us to collect any data we needed, to record each of the sounds we wanted to integrate into our MSFS aircraft.

The TB-30 is a two-seat, single-engine military training aircraft built by Socata. It features a tandem cockpit and a retractable gear. It is powered by a six-cylinder, horizontally opposed, air-cooled engine rated at 300 HP.

Our work if based on the civilian-converted version with all the modern avionics you will need for your navigation.

More than 8,000 code lines have been written to enrich the various onboard systems: G5 PFD and HSI, audio panel, radio, electronic flight bag, etc.

All systems (electrical, fuel, hydraulic, etc) have been accurately reproduced. Flight model was built jointly with real TB-30 pilots we had the chance to meet.

You will discover a versatile plane, recognized for its stability during a calm flight, but still very enjoyable and responsive as soon as you begin aerobatic manoeuvres.

Each screw has been reproduced to recreate a detailed 3D model, a step further compared to our previous products. You will find 11 liveries, including the most famous fitted on the Epsilon.
