Looks nice.  I'd fly this.

Seems like a cool plane! I did my CFI in M-20J

We sure are working to make it a cool plane  :smile:

:smile:

I flown E/C/J models all of them are sharing same things: cramped cockpit where yoke sits in front of your chest, sport car style seating on the floor, and gear shock absorbers that (if not careful) can easily contribute to a prop strike during bouncy landing Otherwise airplane is a lot fun except version with "johnson bar" which I'm not a great fan of.

Looks exiting !!

 

Disregard all of the GPSs showing on top of each other. A quick render of the day's work:

 

Very nice! I'm excited for the release

More texturing work:

Hi Coop,

Nice looking bird. Good luck with the development and release of the Mooney.

Thanks!

Something we have not shown yet: our UI.

Here is an example of some of our work in progress Menu UI for our custom load interface (Displayed Data is NOT Accurate, just for demonstration purposes):

An update on our progress:

First and foremost, meetings with our company, and through the discussion with some of our beta team, we have determined that we will only be releasing the M20R for X-Plane 11. This reasoning is due to the drastically increased workload of creating high detail, fine tuned, aircraft for both sims. We have determined that especially when we release it, most of our customers will be using X-Plane 11, so an X-Plane 10 version would be a waste of our development resources: increasing the amount of time until release and the final product's cost.

There has not been a lot of work to the visual model in the last month or so, but our C++ plugin is getting more featureful by the minute! 

Some of the things (that we haven't mentioned yet) that we are integrating:

• EDM-700: Working on a fully functional EDM-700 Engine Monitor with modes such as Normalize, Lean Find (Rich and Lean of Peak), Alarms, Customization of alerts, and many different modes.
• Dynamic Engine Vibration with effects on needles, etc. - Based off of actual physics of engine vibration. The amount and severity of the shaking changes with different engine settings and RPM!
• Custom Aerodynamic Loading: simulates forces of air on the flight control surfaces. The yoke can be moved only to FAA/ICAO limits. (This feature can be disabled for those not wanting the realism)
• Custom Log Files: We will be able to get incredibly detailed log files showing everything that our systems were doing when you submit a ticket.

Linux Users: We will not be making a Linux version of the aircraft. This is because none of our development team and most (or possibly all) of our beta testers use Linux which makes it tough for us to port over a version. Also, according to the latest analytics from Laminar Research, Linux install amount is sitting at 1.4%. It is technically and financially not possible to allocate our resources to creating a Linux install.

We are going as fast as we can, but quality takes time. This plane is on track to be one of the most detailed GA aircraft made for X-Plane yet. We will not be rushing the launch. We are going to take as much time as we need to make it perfect. 

Thank you to everyone for your support throughout our massive project. The best is yet to come!

What a beauty! 

Keep up this awesome work and thank you very much for sharing
