Hi Folks,

I don’t have the model - yet - but real Mooney’s are known as floaters - AS AS AS...

Regards,

The real Mooney Ovation requires existing Mooney pilots to refocus on keeping the nose higher than what they are used to when touching down, to avoid wheelbarrowing..

Thanks Bert. I've read that. But doing it with this model is something else, especially regarding that am so focused on that after reading. I am about to do the "no no" of using the speed brakes! LOL!  Honesty. When I raise the nose I just float forever, even with the power cut. May need to check FSUIPC power calibration. This bird may need it's own throttle profile.

Believe the issue was a conflict with elevator  trim between FSUIPC and Spad:Next. Removed Spad:Next trim setting for my yoke, confirmed FSUIPC calibration, and now I am able to get nose high like needed.

I find the speed brakes very handy in this airplane..  :cool:

Don't think it is...a good thing since it would have longer range being non-turbocharged and, also, the P3D turbocharger model is messed up.

"...the P3D turbocharger model is messed up."

How so?

I'm not an expert, but, what I hear is that you should not have to lean a turbocharged aircraft in a climb.  You wouldn't lean until up at altitude.  The P3D model doesn't work that way.  Others with experience with an actual real world experience could elucidate why that is.

It's the same in FSX... Leaning is completely unrealistic in both sims since ever, regardless if it's a turbocharged engine or not.

The turn coordinator turn rate indicator is wrong. It should take 2 minutes for 360 degree turn when the indicator is showing standard rate of turn (the attitude indicator would show less than 30 degree bank), but in this airplane Alabeo Ovation when turn coordinator is showing standard rate it seems it is taking exactly 1 minute for 360 degree and bank is over 45 degree (in both case I keep the ball centered) this is clearly a bug. 

FYI I am a private pilot owner of the real plane a 2001 Ovation. I am taking flight lessons for instrument rating in it. I find xplane to be helpful for reviewing the days lesson casually.

One thing I notice about this model in xplane is that it is more difficult to maintain constant altitude than in real one. The VSI seems to go up and down too easily compared with the real airplane. But I guess that's the limitation of simulator vs. real one.
