New Mooney for Prepar3D

Would you be able to put this model back into FSX?

I imagine if you had P3D, you could just copy/paste this into FSX. But why!!? ack!

As for FSX, its abandoned and done. It is also not meant for MS but for Lockheed Martin's Prepar3D, but it could work with FSX perfectly as they use the same technology and model files.

I dont have P3D....just got FSX where I want it so not about to change again in a hurry (I got FSX very late in piece and was running FS9 until about a 18 months ago)..I like my Mooneys

Hey Naki,

Roger that. Should run fine for you.

Glad you got FSX running good. Some never did.

I've never had any issues with FSX, even my previous crappy setup ran it well. And if there was no FSX, there would not be Prepar3D, so it's all good. I've been following the "new" sim very closely. Probably will wait for v2, before making any decisions, as the current versions might be some sort of transitional phase.

Alot of Animations are now working, door and cargo door, new yokes, surface controls.

Basic interior Garmin system all running including AUX gauges.

Hopefully the landing gear will be done today.

Soon, the paint and the AFM....

Coming out well in my humble opinion...

Don't be humble, Bill .... proud instead, I would say !!!!!
The thing is coming out very very well.
Much expectation from a Prepar3D-ist

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.

Very cool! Looks awesome and can't wait to try it out!

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.
