New Mooney for Prepar3D
- Thread starter Lionheart
- Start date
Don't be humble, Bill .... proud instead, I would say !!!!!
The thing is coming out very very well.
Much expectation from a Prepar3D-ist

Many thanks.
Bill,
Will this be freeware?
This will come with Prepar3D, part of the sim. It will be their plane to do with what they will.
She is flying really nice now. Takes off smoothly instead of like a brick, gets up to 240+ at top out, nears 243 (max speed). VNE is 255, so if you have damage on, it crashes at that speed. Cruise is 234 and it does it well.
Adjusted drag on the landing gear and spoilers.
Installed the S-Tec auto pilot (same from the Kodiak package).
Getting better.....
I am wondering if the Mooney is still available with steam gauges at the factory? (off to find that out)....

Looking good Bill. Like others, I just got FSX running the way I want it so a switch to Prepar3d isn't in the cards at the moment. However if you need a beta tester for FSX.... A thing to note on all the Mooneys. The nose wheel steering only deflects about 15 degrees. Something I had to be careful of back when I was working line service and towing aircraft.
Thanks Brian for the heads up on that. The steering mechanism on this is pretty crazy. I went with c_wheel so that the gear wouldnt rotate up in the sky, as it would come out of the center tunnel sides.
The rear main gear almost look like Bellanca.

Out testing the girl tonight, playing (day off). Just did some mild adjustments to the airfiles; prop, overall speeds, flaps and spoiler tuning, and just doing some touch and goes. She handles so AWESOME......! The original is almost unflyable for me. This baby flies like a jewel.....
Just Awesome!
Lionheart,
I usually do not get excited about singles but this one appears to be a must have. The modeling looks great, new interior with the Garmin panel and great performance makes this a must have for me.
I am working on a simpit and this may change my direction on the type of GA aircraft I build my panel around. Is it possible to have the yokes disappear with a mouse click? 2D panel but only show the displays?
Thanks,
Jake

Hey Jake,
Yes. The package already has a very nice 2D panel setup that still looks high quality and advanced. I will be leaving that in there. The yokes will be hideable.
She is addictive to fly. I have been having a blast doing flights in it at night. Great fun.
I added a cool effect on the air brakes (Spoiler plates) that produce a vapor trail when the spoilers are deployed, which one would see on a humid day.

She looks beautiful in that paint scheme!
. Would anyone here know how this is done or of any tutorials on the matter?Kenney, the real place to ask is at www.fsdeveloper.com in the forums. Thats were the great scenery gurus hang out at, and I have heard this question before there and many answered in.....
