Being succinct is not one of my better traits folks. Lets get this out of the way right off the start. The standard statements that many of folks must interject. "It was only....", or "If you don't like it...." totally not necessary. Also, let's make this clear, I bought the MU-2. OK, the Confusion. Frankly, my confusion comes from the Community, Asobo and IniBuilds. I read a lot of threads here and elsewhere. I see a lot of glowing reviews and some really picky reviews and input. I saw a lot of positive reviews on IniBuilds Airbusses,airports,scenery etc. Then threads regarding the fantastic Blacksquare TBM 850, along the lines of was this thing even beta tested? Among others. Being that several of the Local Legend and Famous Flyer aircraft were up to par with a fairly realistic rendition of those aircraft, I was confused on the responses and product of the MU-2. IE, getting a lot of praise for the most part, when the plane isn't even close to an MU-2 other than looks. Which leads me to disappointment.... Disappointment...When I was at FSExpo in Houston, I had a very brief talk with Jorg and Seb. One of the things I mentioned, would you please consider doing an MU-2 as a FF or LL. I showed him pictures of the MU-2 that I had flown, both the N and Marquise model MU-2's which I have a few hours flying. He acknowledged the plane. Moving forward, I received a few texts from friends showing me the MU-2 announcement. So excited! Till product was released. Let's face it folks, based on the other INiBuild releases, this plane was essentially "phoned in" The MU-2 was a fast plane! Particularly the short bodies. They advertised this as a 205 kt plane!! Also, looks like they modeled the D or DP model MU-2. Folks, there were only 18 D models built. There is no existing manual for the plane or the plane for that matter! Where did INiBuilds get the data, on a non existent plane? The MU-2 is unique in it's operation, those that have/had the FSW Marquise or the Tom Kyler MU-2 Marquise know what I mean. There is essentially no system modeling in this plane. Yet, we have the Beech18 with Denarqs mods that makes the plane almost study level. I see that planes can be made better. I already know some developers that would love to correct a lot of issues within this plane, but they can't, due to Asobo/INiBuilds controlling the code. Which brings me to the HOPE part of this message. Folks, I have already written 2 messages to Zendesk about my feedback on the MU-2. I don't post on forum, not enough brownie points. They have responded, and said they would pass it on to the developer. I also gave them contact info of an MU-2 expert that has over 20,000 hours in the plane. I can assure my message wasn't about a takeoff speed correction, removing glossiness from the panel and the avionics stuff. Little more specific and in depth than those issues. I have also posted on the INiBuilds forum, some folks there told me if we wanted to see the MU-2 improved, we needed to let Asobo know. That said, the HOPE comes from you the Community. If you want the MU-2 to be fixed properly, let Asobo zendesk know. Also, encourage Asobo/IniBuilds to release the files so that other developers can help INiBuilds/Asobo bring this plane up to their standards. Another possible hope too. There were several messages posted on FSW discord server.Mark was rather surprised at the love for the MU-2. Being as he's working on the Lear, he offered to set up a development section for the MU-2 Marquise to bring it into MSFS. He needs developers to help with that project. If interested, let Mark know on the discord server. MY friend Jim Goldman, some of you will recognize the name from FSD days. Working together, have tried to make some "freeware" modifications to the IniBuilds MU-2. We tried our best to emulate a K model MU-2. Jim created templates of the accessible cfg files, and put them in the Community folder. He did a cool paint scheme and modded the exterior and interior. Performance much better! The file has been uploaded to flightsim.to. PLEASE READ the pdf file. Explains everything! Lastly, You can take the time to hassle me, flame me whatever....or you can use that energy to send a message to Asobo, and hopefully they will listen, and we can have an MU-2 to really have some fun flying! If you use add on linker, makes it a breeze to use Jims mod. Thank You David

First off, Thank You to all the devs for your tireless work and efforts. It is my hope in the future when you release your labor of love, that you can be met with kudos, instead of the seemingly standard of picking fly poo out of the pepper. Or the ever present "I wish" statements. I couldn't possibly do what you folks do. I've tried, many times...nope not happening. The work you put out is extraordinary at times. Getting to my friendly request. Could we move away from the "Go Pro" look of the props please. Nicholas from BlackSquare has nailed it on the TBM 850 for realism. Very seldom in flight will you see the blade blur, it's pretty much always a disc. At times, you can't even see the prop disc at all. Thank You for your hard work, and consideration. Best, David

Hey everyone, drunk has now given us the ini config to edit the values! It's available for download at the github link. The one yhat is listed on about page 36 I think. Thank You again drunk. Best, David

Please! Thank You! I have vented, I am fine.👍 Don't have enough brownie points to post on flightsimulator site. Just didn't want this to get lost in the crowd. Back to your regularly scheduled picking fly poo out of pepper threads for new releases.😱🤪 Best, David

Thank You Stevie202. I wouldn't have know about yhis program without your help. David

Hey all, have a question on the above topic. I recently d/l Brad Allens Bahamas Odyssey Adventure. It was under the Bush flight category on flightsim.to. In fs2020 it's located in the Custom section of activities. Brad created this using the C172. I would rather use the Kodiak. My question: Are the POI in these flights based on GPS Coords, or based on type and speed of the aircraft. In other words, if I flew the Kodiak instead of the C172, would the landmarks pointed out in the flight, adjust since I'm flying the Kodiak now. Or due to faster speed, the adventure flight would be out of sync. If that is the case, is anyone aware of an app that may adjsut so you can fly a different aircraft for the Discovery,Bush,Adventure flights. Thanks for any info. David

Hey Pat, I have already d/l the plane. Just need my code. Hopefully, someone will get my Email. Best, David

Hey Ryan, check PM's. Hello Ed, I saw your post. I sent an email to that address. Still no response or code. Best, David

Hey Ryan, etal. Checked the spam folder...no message. After purchase w/ PayPal, got a receipt right away. Still have not received the activation code. Shortly after purchase, I sent a message to Customer Support w/ PayPal receipt. Tried to follow up today, having the server issues. I have d/l the plane, just can't install due to no activation code. Can't even look at the manual, since they need an activation code to d/l. No other simstore has it right now, otherwise I would cancel this PayPal order, and purchase from them. I know I get a code immediately. So, at this point, I'm having to wait for XP to get things in order, then maybe I'll get the code. Best, David

Purchased this early this morn. Still haven't gotten my Email serial number code. Went to the site, to send another customer service Email. getting Server 500 error. Other areas of the site are fine. (Too many d/l, swamping the server?) Anybody else having issues getting their activation code as well. Does anyone know of an alternate Email, directly to customer service or tech support. Looks like they have done a beautiful; job on the update. Looking forward to flying her soon. Best, David EDIT: Well, guess I'm gonna have to wait for XP to get things fixed. I can't even send a follow up Email to Customer Service. Also, product is not available anywhere else right now. Oh well, they have my money, so hopefully soon they'll send my code. Looks like issue is on their end.

Any chance we may see this one in 2016? Such a beautiful plane and model. Thank You for doing this aircraft. Best, David

Hey Trans, I recently built up a smokinnmachine too. I had the same issue. We discovered we had installed the vid card in a non pci x2 slot. When we moved the card to the correct pci slot..she was cookin again. If you moved the vid card for your SSD install, might check the vid card. Just a thought Best, David

hey flyover. If you have checked that the props are on the locks. Since it is spooling for you, sounds like the switches and levers are correct. The other procedure is to ensure you hold the start button down till you see an increase on the EGT, then releae the starter button. Start is automatic from that point. In order to ensure everything correct for start, it' s easiest to hit Shift1 "All systems Off " before starting. then follow the checklist. Here's a quick checklist: 1 Batt key....ON 2 Inverter switch Main/Stby.....ON 3. Fuel Valves.....OPEN 4 Fuel Quanity checked 5. Power Levers....Ground Idle 6. Condition Levers.....TAXI 7. Run Crank Stop(RCS) switches......RUN 8.SRL Switches.......ON 9.Auto Ignition switches....OFF 10. Parking Brake....SET This is the prelim setup for all starts. Starting: 1.Start Select Switch(bottom of pedestal) .....SELECT ENGINE TO START. R or L 2.Starter Button.......PRESS AND HOLD till EGT Rise Noted, THEN RELEASE STARTER BUTTON You should see lightoff approx 10% Try that,should get ya started flyover. Have Fun David

Folks, disregard. Got everything resolved. Thanks Best, David

Hey folks, not sure were to post this thread. I have a LUA script that Pete Dawson is assisting me on recently. Essentialy, I'm trying to limit my torque to a certain range on my throttle quadrant. When past that range, the power would increase normally. I've tried all of Pete's suggestions, nothing is working correctly. The throttle travel is not limited at all. I know Bob Scott is good with LUA. He wrote the dynamicfriction.lua Does he still get on the forum? If anyone can help, greatly appreciated. We can work via PM/Email if easier. Thanks for any help. Best, David
