Bought the mu-2b

[UncleBob 1]

There is something about this. I almost bought it on an impuls and was afraid i was going to get burned. I like this bird very much. I think there is something with the flight dynamics that feels authentic. Im not a real life pilot so i couldnt say much about that, but it gave me an imersive feeling ive been missing out on with other developers planes that i have. Ive been looking to get a learjet 35 and wanted to ask someone here if you feel the one made by flysimware is a good one, or maybe even top of the list? If I have to chose from very good textures vs good flightdynamics I would chose the latter in a heartbeat. Thats why I like the mu-2b so much. I am only using VR in the sim so flightdynamics/systems are more important than textures, and the mu-2b is looking good in vr.

UncleBob,

I have the FSW MU-2 and L35. They are by far my favorite turboprop and jet a/c. These days I mainly fly the L35 with a single GTN-750. I also have the PMDG 737NGX, but don't fly it anymore. I much prefer the L35 - GTN750 combination over the FMC in the PMDG 737NGX since the GTN 750 allows for more hands on flying such as meeting airspeed and altitude requirements during SIDs and STARS. Admittedly the PMDG 737NGX is a superb simulation and the graphics are superior to the MU-2 and L35 graphics, but the hands on flying is more important to me. I am looking forward to the FSW Falcon 50 which will also use the GTN-750.

As they say, "To each his own".

Can I ask you if you are using any modifications to the MU and L35? Are there any mods of some sort to them? Im trying to figure out if it is possible to remove the glass effect on the cockpit windows, the side windows to be spesific. Maybe some soundmod for the mu like I feel its much to quite on the ground, landing and taxeing. I might be able to find something I can use in here. Anyways, thx for the reply.

Click on the side glass in the MU-2 and that will change it to clear.

Cheers

Welcome to the club, UncleBob. Glad you found out how wonderful these FSW planes fly.

Actually click on the side window frame to clear the glass, not the glass itself as I mentioned above!

Cheers

Well that is interesting! I never knew the MU-2 had a tinted glass option. Is this a typical FSX 'feature' or just MU-2 specific?

Thx,

Al

I think a feature of this MU-2, other folks wanted clear windows so Mark at FSW added this options if I recall correctly. A note, the real aircraft came with those tinted green looking side windows, I like the clear glass option.

Cheers
