Does anybody know how I can get a DME reading for NAV2?
So this is April '23, and I finally picked up the Mooney after having owned other Carenado MSFS products including the very nice MS Commissioned V35B.
It’s a fun ride. What makes it even better is WT’s revised 430 and replacing the 530 with the PMS GTN750 (I have a Premium license). Along the way, nice enhancements like RockAir’s Turbo Mod makes it act more like an Ovation 2, and Archer’s cleanup and better cameras. And plenty of good liveries.
The 750 really changes the way you fly the M20 - the AP panel is fully functional, so no more fighting the 150/297 combo. I can even climb on FLC just like the more recent Mooneys. And it gets enhancements like coupled Visual Approaches.

That’s good information to know. Out of all the Carenado stuff realeased so far, the Mooney is the only one that has tempted me. Adding the 750 to it, sounds like the way to go, to make a usable addon. Thanks for posting your experiences with it.
Wondering how realistic that turbo mod is. It turns the Mooney into a rocket.
By the way, the Mooney is still one of my favorite GA hands down. I have yet to see a cockpit and instruments panel as practical and informative as the one in it. Every information you need is right there clear as day, a hybrid between analog and digital.
Love love this plane.

I read a few PIREPs about Turbo’d Mooneys, the mod author’s numbers seem about right.

Hopefully will be on console soon
with this new uppdate the AP panel is not showing what is ON or OFF
its still working, but no annonciator lights
The latest Ovation has WTT mode natively implemented for the PMS50 GTN750.
If you have a WTT mode additional package, you should remove it.

Nothing mentioned in the last version release notes about that issue. I was experiencing it too prior the update, intermittently. I did a flight with that 2.0.1 version and AP panel worked fine, need to test more.
Just flew the latest version with the AP Panel, all annunciators / lights on it are working. Check for Mod conflicts.

I also noticed 2 new issues:
When opening the window, the small lock is not moving anymore:
Various issues (menu navigation issues using knobs, FPL page not correctly displayed, waypoint entered in the direct to page does not showup in the 1st nav page) with Working Title GNS 430/530 marketplace free add-on. I did not experienced them with the previous M20R version.
I removed the WT gx mod.and its working
Is it possible to have FD with AP off?
It stays ON for less than 1sec if AP is not engaged
I removed the Marketplace WT gx mod too:
But it looks like the base Asobo GNS 530 is used and not the WT one that came in AAU1 (1.1.6), even if as per content manager it is installed. I removed all 3rd party mods to make sure I have no conflict.
I am not experiencing that issue, FD stays ON even if AP is turned OFF.

Nice…
Dont have any mods except airports/scenery…
Do you have the base Asobo GNS 530 or the WT AAU1 GNS 530 (1.1.6) displayed ?
Wont be able to check in the next 45min, but the one with full booting sequence with satelite constellation
