* Latest update! Paint day! New colors.

These are 'work in progress' screenshots of the 'new' Prepar3D Mooney. This is an 'update' of the present Mooney. It is custom built, by Lionheart Creations. This is to be a high detail model, and as you can see, nothing was spared in richness of model mesh work.

The model chosen is the Mooney Acclaim, version M20T, the latest version of the Mooney line, and their flagship of the Mooney series, capable of 247 knots, and cruise at 237 knots KTAS at altitude with new aerodynamic features.

Some new paint schemes added to the package. The light blue version is experimental, non factory, but a similar color with Mooney's in the past. Sort of a retro look.

Newest cockpit screenshots of the work in progress so far. Night lighting illumination, shading and highlights of cockpit textures, finishing up of the instrument panel. Getting close... Bump mapping needed and a pilot figure.

I very much want this! Looking fantastic so far!

Got her in P3D yesterday, flying around.

Much more to do.
* Landing gear and gear bays/doors
* Panel
* Map and painting
* AFM programming

Newest WIP screenshots.

Panel now in, most of instrumentation working, landing gear now functioning.

Paint not yet applied, fuselage and wings not yet mapped, interior not yet mapped. Still making detail parts and working on instrumentation.

Latest screenshots of the Mooney update project, the new Acclaim model.

The exterior is almost finished, still needing its 3D bump mapping of rivets and depression ribbing. The interior will then be completed and a pilot installed. Most of the animations are complete. The airfiles have also been revamped and she flies quite nicely.

The model 'S' Acclaim will cruise at 234 Knots KTAS and with oxygen, she will fly along at 25,000 feet altitude. Amazing planes....

Getting close to completion...

Interior textures coming along. Instrument panel getting wrapped up. Night lighting and switches all working. Conversion of the gauges to modern day FSX format on mapping layouts and illumination.

Still need to do bump mapping on the skins, install a pilot, some final testing.

Another side note. She now has night lighting for gauges 'on' only at night, and you can turn on the dome light if needed, like in normal flying.
