after two more flights with dev mode off - the avionics did not fail ( unlike the previous time )
the only thing I could figure is that i was more vigilant with the Honeycomb physical switch settings before loading the flight. I tried one with cold & dark and one trip back with starting on the runway. Neither time the avionics failed. so… ?
Yes mate, it shows in content manager but not in the gallery of airplanes, will do some trouble shooting.
The Mooney has credited flight hours for me.
After 1 38 minute flight I note that;
-
Avionics work intermittently for me and have shut down in mid flight, somehow I started them back up but I’m not sure how,
-
Trim is much more sensitive than in other default prop planes I have used, perhaps this is why the Auto Pilot gyration happens?
-
Once properly trimmed, the plane flies like it’s on AP, I can let go of the joystick for long periods without making corrections. Default aircraft always seem to need a bit of correction, sadly I have never flown a real plane, but I’m assuming the default scenario is more realistic?
-
it seems the plane’s pitch , and climb rate is less sensitive than other GA planes to speed, meaning I don’t need to fuss with elevator trim as much when landing or at top of climb. Like the above comment, the plane seems too stable in hand controlled flight, but again, my only experience is on flight sims not real life.
-
for $38 (CDN) I am TRULY disappointed that there is no checklist, I could not figure out how to start the engine from cold and dark.
Despite the above, I LOVE this plane it’s pretty, it’s fast and it’s got steam gauges hopefully some fixes will be on the way. Like all bugs in MSFS, i use a failure to determine whether to “declare” an emergency and land at the nearest airport, or keep on going and try to fix the issue. Now I am off to fly the Mooney to the Shetland islands, will add more comments if I find other things worthy of comment.
Does the EGT gauge (on the far right, with the yellow bars) actually work and display different EGT per cylinder?
I think @ZeraKnight might be interested in the details to get the EGT display to work in the G1000.
The EGT and CHT gauges are not per-cylinder.
i cant find, external lights,
Above your head
It does scroll through the cylinder temps, weather its faked or real I couldn’t say.
I stand corrected! I was talking about the EGT and CHT steam gauges.
You can find the checklists in the aircraft folder in your main MSFS folder.
They mean in sim interactive checklists, from the inflight menu bar.
Thank you sir
yeah, that turned out to be a Dev Mode issue that only showed up after I installed the Mooney.
…and it’s not to hard to find a PDF online of the real M20R POH as well
Hi,
When turning on the taxi / landing light I get heavy frame drop.
yes, potential buyers please note that its horrible. Worse than c182t
C182t after couple of deviations straightens up eventially, but mooney not ![]()
Its like if autopilots been drinking
