I haven't flown the M20R in a while, but it's an awesome aircraft that I always find myself coming back to. Having been spoiled with some really excellent addon aircraft recently, I've been quite annoyed by a few remaining issues in the M20R (and literally all my other Carenado aircraft). since the infamous Idle cutoff bug was fixed I haven't seen much about the M20R. I thought I'd start a discussion to see if anyone else was still flying the Mooney, and maybe get some more people to report these issues to Carenado. Or who knows? Maybe I'm crazy and these aren't effecting anyone else. So these are things I reported to Carenado months ago and I'm wondering if I'm the only one: 1 - RPM / Prop handle: It seems wrong to me, but currently, decreasing RPM seems to do absolutely nothing other than to increase fuel flow. That's not right is it? Am I the only one who's noticed? Am I wrong in thinking fuel flow should actually decrease along with power? 2 - Power Settings: related to my last point, power settings aren't anywhere near the table on the back of the sun visor. They were darn close when the plane was released. A few months later the performance was broken in an update and never went back. 3 - Fuel runs out with... 3?... I think it's 3 gallons indicated in the tank... While there is unusable fuel in the Mooney, the digital readouts in the cockpit should read 0 gallons before the engine dies as per the POH. 4 - The sound issue: This one has indeed been discussed before, but never fixed as far as I can tell. Let me know if I'm wrong on this one, it's true I haven't noticed it recently. The problem usually occurs when switching back and forth between internal and external views. The sound of the plane will suddenly change and it sounds awful until suddenly the problem fixes itself many minutes later. 5 - Alternator Amps: If the plane is started on the runway, the alternator produces less power than if you start the plane cold and dark from the parking at a given RPM (very strange and the least of my concerns). Well that's my list, what do you guys think? Is there anything else you have found? Is it hopeless to dream that one day Carenado might actually fix any of this? Are any of you still even flying the M20? I know I keep coming back to it. Thanks!

Advanced Flight Modeling Simulation is excited to share that we are developing the Mooney M20R! Some of the custom systems we are developing: Electrical System (Circuit breakers, buses, and more simulated) Fuel System Engine Model (IO-550) Avionics Simulation Specialized Flight Controls Landing Gear/ Brakes The aircraft will be developed with accuracy, beauty, and performance in mind, assuring that we can make the ultimate simulation experience with X-Plane! The aircraft will feature the X-Plane GNS 530 & GNS 430. We are also working with RealityXP to implement their Garmin GTN 750 & GTN 650 into the aircraft*. See More at afmsimulation.com If you have any questions, feel free to contact us at any time!
