X-Aviation, BUT !

This version isn't yet the XP12 one, which will be made available later and.... "X-Plane 12 update will be free."

TOGA Simulations MU-2 Marquise v2, X-Aviation

It's one of my prferred GA twins, since I bought the Hasegawa 1/48 kit in the early eighties of last Century 🙂

Treat it more like a jet on descent and landing than a prop plane and make sure you don't get behind the aircraft. That wing design is veeery slippery!

Yep, I remember that from the XP11 version, as well as having to fight the by then still active torque bug :-) now long solved....

Very high wing loading, powerful engines and very ingenious flap system, make it tricky to correctly fly for instance on an engine failure at takeoff scenario.

Also interesting to replicate the World Tour by Mike Laver ( 2013 ) in a modified MU-2B-25 :-)

And while I wait for the XP12-ready version I have been trying to document myself about flying the real thing 🙂

I have it and I can say it is a wonderful plane, a handful but wonderful. Can't wait for it to be x_plane 12 ready.

I didn't install it in XP12 because I am waiting for the official release of the compatibility upgrade, but I wonder if you have been able to use the XP11 version in XP12 ? And if so, how does it work ?
