OK, I take off from L35 for another test

 

Look at EGT and GPH 5.0. Full power at 2500 rpm

 

Continue leaning to EGT peak, now GPH 7.3

 

Now roughly 50F lean of peak, and GPH 7.9

Basically it has reversed  logic also GPH are very low

 

 

 

Agreed seems reversed, and past a certain part of the axis it begin to lean again.  Hopefully they straighten it out.  
 

aside from that, I had two great flights, and really dig the way it resists the runway, but the landings were quite smooth when I touched down.

In my first review I actually  pointed out on some positive aspects of M20R. Besides mixture problem, a bit sensitive elevator trim to my taste but overall it does feel like Mooney

Oddly enough, despite some comments to the contrary, I'm finding it pretty easy to really grease the thing onto the runway. Which is a particular surprise considering that with now no way to tweak the curves in the controller sensitivities, you only have to look at trim control to have it pitching up like a MiG 29 doing a Cobra at an airshow. 🤣

Roger, read that, twice!

trim was quite useful when idle over the runway I would add from my two landings..  tomorrow I will work on better speed control.

What?!  We can't access the CFGs?

That might be a showstopper for me

Humm! Is it the tug or the fuel truck in front of my 20?  I've taken a few rides in Mooney's and do not recall ever experiencing need for a push back! About a week ago I learned how to remove such obstacles, but I failed to make notes.  Please tell me it is not in this M20's elusive aircraft.cfg file....

I would add to your analogy the part that has me about to buy this plane:

All the suit stores are closed and may not be open for months. Walmart is literally the only place you can buy a suit today. Do you buy the Walmart suit or go to the job interview in an Iron Maiden t-shirt (all your “default” closet has in it?)

We have two choices today. Fly the default or buy the Carenado, knowing its flaws. I’m prolly about to drop $30 🙂

No tugs, marshallers or anyone else hanging around the plane when you start on the ramp.  All is cool.

Not true for me.  Will respond with screen shots tomorrow.  Loading at a major airport, but experience is that it occurs as well at some smaller airports.  I am USA based and KMDW was my departure airport today.

I bought the M20R knowing FS issues and Carenado standards, so I didn't expect much, but I just finished two flights and IMHO this aircraft performs better than any of the default aircrafts. I think there is a problem with trim because its too sensitive, AP works good in HDG mode, model is really nice.

With FS2020 I really love VFR flying, I have been flying only the C152 (with mods) because I don't like the performance of other default planes, but everyday I fly in this sim I like it more (just VFR) and hope M20 is going to be a better aircraft and I like this one goes faster.

Lol, I did a Mooney flight (really just a few circuits) last night at Trondheim.  My copilot started yammering on the radio requesting pushback, so While the tug was getting into position, I pushed the throttle forward, and started my taxi.  No push back needed for me, no sir.  I was just about to turn right on the taxiway to the active runway, and I slowed down a few seconds to check something when BAM!  Pushback tug in front of me locked in and pushing me back.  Chased me down he did, nobody leaves this joint without a pushback!

Say it ain't so!
No!

 

I've got a horse in this race now. :)  Bought it because @Bert Pieke assured us that it will be fixed, and that's good enough for me. 😉

Now I just have to find where the paint color is for the reg. 🙄

 

 

 

I don't own this but it seems like the problem is sorting Carenado specific bugs to default FS bugs.  I don't own any of their planes yet (probably will get one eventually), but it seems like a lot of the bug reports happen in the default aircraft (not making excuses for them, just trying to understand which ones can maybe be fixed by Asobo).  I get so many bugs just flying the default aircraft still, even after the last patch.

You're looking at the wrong setting on the FT-101A. If you look at the fuel flow gauge just below the glare shield (top left number), you'll see the fuel flow is working correctly. I'm not familiar with the FT-101A fuel computer, but if you turn the large knob two clicks counterclockwise, it will show the actual fuel flow.
