When will the final major update be released? Did I miss the official release?

This mod would be definitely complete with failures scenario and engine management: Realistic startup procedure, spark plugs fooling, cylinder wear with improper mixture setting, fuel flooding, oil viscosity and temperature, oil pump so that for instance one could not set full power right away after a startup if the oil is not hot...etc

My little contribution! Love the accuracy of the flight model https://youtu.be/x8G0qWmebU4

I would also add on the wish list: When the battery is turned ON, the avionics fan sound is kind of a ON/OFF sound instead the fan sound frequency should slowly increase with time when the fan accelerates to its normal operating speed. The transition between the starter sound and the low idle engine sound is too brutal and not very natural. One can clearly hear that they are 2 different sounds played. Any way to make it more natural with a smooth transition between start and idle RPM? That s very noticeable when running the mags check before shutdown. When binding the cockpit switches to keyboard stroke, there is no more sound effect: For instance if you use a keyboard key to turn ON and OFF the strobes light, when activating it, there is no sound whereas when clicking on it with the mouse, there is a sound. Add custom brakes and suspension sounds. That would already significantly improve the immersion with those small mods. Cheers

Hi I finished a flight today with the Acclaim variant and was not able to tie it down; put chocks and cones. The covers work fine tho. Cheers

Sounds good already! Thx for sharing the website! Good luck TIPAH

Dear developers! First of all thanks for this wonderful plane. 3 variants of the Ovation, plenty of liveries, convincing flight model, all custom commands available via the xplane joystick and keyboard menus...I love it so congrats! On the wishes list I would add: 1. Full walk around with clickable spot to toggle the elements such as chocks, pitot tube cover or checking flaps and flight controls...etc 2. A manual and POH for the Acclaim version of the Ovation. 3. Fuel flow values are missing from the POH of the Ovation II and III. 4. More detailed manuals by adding sections about how to use the oxygen and the TKS de-icing systems. 5. Rain drop windshield effects via integration of the librain plugin by Totoritko. 6. Visual ice accretion on the wings and propeller and animation of the TKS fluid. And...that s it since it is already a long list of improvements Cheers TIPAH

That s perfect. I ll buy tomorrow, too busy this evening. Can t wait to try it It means that you can add some command if I need? Like the ELT switch for instance? I know it is not really used in the sim but since I have it on my panel Does the plane save the status of the radio units? I m used to toggle all the avionics ON with a single switch (since it is the case for the 172 with bus 1 and 2 avionic switches). Is it possible with the mooney? Otherwise it means that I will have to scroll down in the xplane cockpit to turn ON the DME or ADF for instance with the mouse? Put it that way: can I turn all the avionics ON using a single command? Sorry to bother you with such details but with home cockpit that makes our life more complicated. Regards PS: curently downloading finally

Awesome! I think you can count me among your customers soon I love the Mooney! Thanks for your prompt answer! I m asking because of this: So I need everything to be assigned to keyboard stroke. The gauges are driven by a software that read xplane native dataref. Cheers TIPAH

Hi all, I have a home cockpit so basically I don t use the keyboard and mouse any more. Before purchasing this bird, I d like to know if every single function of this plane can be bind to keyboard stroke? I mean functions like the lights, avionics, fuel selector...etc or does it use custom dataref that manes the function not available from the xplane menu? Similarly, does use custom dataref for the insturments data like the engine oil press/Temperature, EGT, manifold pressure...etc or does it use the native xplane dataref? How does it affect the FPS? Thanks in advance. Taxi Into Position And Hold (TIPAH)
