April 26, 201511 yr Ooohh...Rain effects.... I watched an X Plane (Cough cough) video the other day and you could hear the rain hitting the screen... I thought how cool is that ...If only we had something like that in Prepar3D (Unless Iv'e missed something)... Really adds to the imersion factor.. Dave
April 28, 201511 yr How many pax seats are in the FSX model? I Googled it and it says anywhere from 4-12 passengers! 4 I can see but 12? wow, that seems a bit tight. Ciao!

April 30, 201511 yr You have, http://www.realairsi...uketv2_overview Confused (Easily done).. What has the Real Air Duke and Rain effects got in common?? DaveD
April 30, 201511 yr The RA Turbine Duke V2 has a P3D installer and Rain effects......The MU has nice rain effects, good job on that FSW Team
May 1, 201511 yr So not standard in Prepar3D... Shame as the sound of rain hitting the screen ups the immersion factor. Dave
June 27, 201510 yr Hey Joe. First of all, thanks very much for this great addon. I just noticed something: the velocimeter is a bit different from what I saw at the real MU (concerning the color tapes). Check out: By the way, is that Blue Line placed correctly? That is the real Blue Line speed on the MU? Could you release an update on this? Regards and tx for your attention,
June 27, 201510 yr Why would they need to update it for this ? Aircraft can be fitted with different gauges. Panel layouts seem to have been non-standard for much of the production life. Is that even a Marquise ? Looks more like an early Solitaire panel to me. Different model.
June 27, 201510 yr Higfonseca, Aircraft often have their instruments updated by the manufacturer over the course of production. The airspeed indicator in your photo is ancient. Probably from an early model MU-2, not a Marquise. Also, although fitted to some MU-2's, an airspeed indicator that goes all the way to 400 knots is ridiculous in an aircraft that has a VMO of 250 KIAS. I can understand why the later airspeed indicators were changed to 300 knots... it makes it much easier to read speed accurately if it only reads up to 300 knots. The white arc on the later MU-2's only indicated the speed range of the flaps at 40 degrees (From 77 to 120 KIAS in the Marquise). The photos below are from three different MU-2's. As you can see, all three of them have the same airspeed indicator as the Flysimware Marquise. All three are marked up to 300 knots. VMO is 250 KIAS. The white arc reaches from 77 to 120 KIAS (80 to 120 KIAS on some airspeed indicators). The blue line speed of an MU-2 is 150 KIAS, with the actual blue line on the airspeed indicator slightly to the higher side of the white 150 KIAS line for clarity.
June 27, 201510 yr Another close-up of the MU-2B-60 airspeed indicator clearly showing the white arc (80 to 120 KIAS). The green arc (up to 250 KIAS) is a bit more visible in this photo than the others, due to the sunlight falling on it.
July 2, 201510 yr Thanks for the heads up, guys! You're welcome! If you look at the real MU-2B-60 Pilot's Operating Manual you will find more confirmation that the airspeed indicator in the Flysimware MU-2 is exactly the same airspeed indicator that was fitted to the MU-2 Marquise from the factory.
