Hi

I am looking for the fastest available plane with a 530 on board, as well as a fully functional autopilot. I have the JF Turbo Arrow for instance, it has the 530, but the autopilot is fairly limited.

 

Regards,

René Feijen

Thanks. Was already thinking about buying it.

I see there is also a turbo mod for it, maybe later try that out.

I use the turbo mod too.  Plane is decent...it's not very in depth - it's Carenado but I still enjoy it.  Mod makes it slightly too powerful imo.  I'd rather have that though haha.

The M20R is an awesome plane. It makes you feel like you flying as you are working the steam guages. You can set up an IFR plan in stormy weather and use VORs-NDBs-ILS etc and with careful monitoring of the frequencies and guages ets touch down right on the runway. Learning VOR intercepts is also fun. Its pretty much the only plane I use right now. 

I would recommend getting a stream deck using FlightTracker and grab a profile off Flightsom.to. You can also get a cheap Adurino Mega Clone and grab some digital rotary encoders and make a fun AutoPilot panel to fly the heading bug and rotate the VORSs. Its makes flying the mooney a blast. I'd skip using the GNS 530 and go straight to using the GTN750 mod.

I fly mainly in VR so no Streamdeck for me...

I already use my Saitek panel (blindly) for the FMS knobs of the 1000Nxi, so will program it with SPAD.next also for the 530. I bought the M20R now esp for the 530 (use it also in the DC6 sometimes). I also have the 750, which I sometimes use in the JF Piper Arrow.

I have been using the Trinidad TB21 (turbo) from LionHeart and can recommend it, I have been flying the Mooney as well but prefer the TB, obviously very subjective on my part because I have hundred of hours on the TB in real world and a lot less on the M20R... This is a steam gauge airplane with the Garmin 530 set with mod and full autopilot.

Looks also good, will stick with the M20R for now, but thanks for the tip!

I think one of L-39 from Reno Races has GTN530 and autopilot

I read indeed it has. Don't know what this means about the autopilot though:

 

"I was pleasantly surprised to find out the “stock” L-39 from the Reno base pack has indeed an autopilot.
It can be accessed by the FSMC App or key bindings (I suppose).
As for the other aircraft … if only Microsoft / Asobo allowed us to edit basic files of marketplace aircraft!

Best,
Underbird"

Yes it accessible via binding for each model. There are also models where autopilot modeled within actual cockpit!

I would want it in the cockpit...

I got all of them but sorry I don't remember which one. Have to load one by one and check LOL

Off topic. This would satisfy your speed needs for sure! No GTN 530 and autopilot only via binding though

Ah, thanks for the tip m8. But I even already own the F14 Tomcat, so speed itself is already in the house.
