JaredDavis Posted November 29, 2020 Report Posted November 29, 2020 Hi, Does anyone know of a M20C X-plane model? Thanks, Jared 1
carusoam Posted November 29, 2020 Report Posted November 29, 2020 See what Carenado has to offer... They support flight sims with different airplanes... For some reason, they focus on the latest planes... Not exactly what you are requesting, but may get you closer... https://www.carenado.com/sitecarenado/microsoft-flight-simulator-2020/ Best regards, -a- 1
0TreeLemur Posted November 30, 2020 Report Posted November 30, 2020 Hi Jared, When I looked last year I didn't see one. So I bought the Carenado M20J. It has a similar panel to my C. It's just too darn fast! It does have a full autopilot which I don't but I need one to fly a simulator. -Fred
Raptor05121 Posted November 30, 2020 Report Posted November 30, 2020 None. Your choice for Mooneys are the Carenado Ovation which is a year old or the M20J which is about 8 years old and heavily dated
tmo Posted November 30, 2020 Report Posted November 30, 2020 There is also the Alabeo M20R Ovation (which I have and do not dislike) and the AFM / X-Aviation M20 collection (which I won't touch with a pitchfork because it doesn't run on Linux). The aforementioned M20J from Carenado is probably the closest you'll get. And it will be close enough. Is Ovation from Alabeo the same as Carenado? Looks like it...
JaredDavis Posted November 30, 2020 Author Report Posted November 30, 2020 Thanks for the replies. Anyone know jknutson2 from the x-plane forum? Looks like they were pretty far into a m20c model. Last visited the x-plane forum in April. https://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/forums/topic/104450-hp-vs-mp-altitude/&tab=comments#comment-1032650
BlueMooneyOverKentucky Posted January 29 Report Posted January 29 So, I just bought the Carenado M20J. I didn't notice that it doesn't run in XP12. :-( In real life, I fly an M20C and am working on my instrument rating. I am getting some loggable sim time in a 172 with my CFII, and would like to augment it at home in X-plane. So, I'm considering: Downgrading to XP11 to use the M20J model. Using another complex plane...maybe an Archer or Bonanza? Building my own M20C. (I kinda wanna do this, even though it's not even a little bit practical. It would be fun for its own merits) Just sim in a 172 and don't overthink it. If using another complex aircraft, what's a good substitute?

Like today? 7 hours ago, BlueMooneyOverKentucky said: If using another complex aircraft, what's a good substitute? Anyway, here was my answer to that this morning... I’d go with the VFlyteAir Arrow. You’ll also get a little glass. It comes in two flavors (you get both). One a decent dual G5 emulation with GFC500 autopilot (I did a little beta testing for the avionics). The other, a decent Aspen emulation. The new PAE A36 Bonanza is also very nice (I assume you don't care about G1000) . When you read the product description just don't think it comes with a G500 or G5 - those are separately purchased add-ons it's compatible with. The default is basic analog. 1

Curious to know, Are you saying that AFM / X-Aviation M20 collection won't run on Linux ? or X-plane won't run on Linux? reason why I ask is the I have X-Plane12 running on Mac mac mini Tahoe OS 26.1 which is a Linux derived OS. I just use a C172 stream gauge but the control stick configuration is totally unrealistic. When you see your rate of climb indicator pegging out 2500 fpm in a climb in a C172 doesn't seem right or the turn coordinator indicator that seems to be tied to the input of the user input rather than the airplane flight characteristic model when in a turn. I primarily use a procedure trainer for the Garmin 430/530 navigator shooting approaches training but not logging the time.

Between hopping back and forth between the half-dozen threads here and on the x-plane forum, it seems I got my wires crossed. Thanks for the advice, Mark! 1
