What's Included?

  • The whole thing comes together when you add in the unique paint designs and mixes, as well. These include specific editions of the aircraft such as the N480ME, N321GM and N130MS packages. These all look brilliant and capture the real depth and precision of the original model, adding it all together and ensuring the entire thing looks the part

  • In this package, you'll get access to a totally customized sound set. This package manages to capture the depth and the detail of the real thing, giving you total accuracy and scale to hear just what the sounds of the aircraft would be like. When you piece all of this together, it sounds truly spectacular and gives you all the help that you could possibly need in planning and preparing the whole flight out. The flight will feel far more realistic for the inclusion of the sound set, helping the whole thing come together perfectly

  • Likewise, the sounds are captured for the cockpit and the environment in general, making it much easier for you to buy into the theme and the format of the flight in general as well as to get used to the way that the sounds will be interpreted down the line

Key Features

  • This aircraft has been designed with the real world in mind, using the authentic specifications for this aircraft. Naturally, this makes flight far more simplistic and it will ensure that the aircraft continues to grow, develop and change in line with what is being asked of it, using true information

  • Likewise, the general design and format of the aircraft is lifted and taken into the proper context as it's now being used in the correct format. The whole thing looks outstanding and manages to capture that depth and detail in the right way, giving you the perfect feeling when flying

  • HD textures and specific reflections were created to give that high-end graphical effect and feel. Likewise, it comes with specular effects and AO static shadow effects that all look brilliant and do everything that they can to bring everything together and give you the help and the quality you need

  • Not sure if this is enough? Then you should look out for the brilliant self-shadowing effects that were brought into the old model. If you are using a DX10 compatible machine then you should be able to notice this extra feature which does a lot for improving the graphical output

  • The cockpit is 100% shareable, too, which makes it the perfect addition to any FSX package that wants to have a bit of extra input during the flight. The fact that it's totally shareable means that you can easily get the aircraft perfected when you are using two separate pilots

  • This installs easily and carries all of the simple hallmarks needed to use it with either FSX, the FSX Steam Edition or even Prepar3D. regardless of what you choose to play it on, you'll find the aircraft in general is much easier to handle than it was in the past

  • The fresh new sound sets as discussed above make sure that you get the virtual cockpit and environmental sounds that we are all so used to hearing from an aircraft. This makes it much easier in general to plan the whole thing out and to give yourself an easy route forward

  • Likewise, the aircraft comes with an incredible range of animations and additions throughout that just seem to be absolutely spectacular. The whole thing is just made for you to enjoy, giving you the depth and detail that you need to really take things that extra step further in terms of realism

  • It comes with awesome Sperry and Collins flight instruments, and they have been tested for accuracy time and time again. These instruments are all made to fit with the real thing and also to give you a true reflection of the kind of aircraft that this was, detailing its nature and its general style impeccably

  • Makes use of various different transponders, such as the GTX330 and the GNS 530, depending on what you prefer. This makes it much easier to navigate the whole thing and ensures that you can fly the aircraft in the way that you had originally intended

  • The Flight1 GTN 750 GPS is one of the most popular parts of the whole thing, as well as the REX WX Advantage radar weather radar system. The problem is that you need to already own these, but if you do then they will work perfectly well with this system

  • The pressurization system has been safely handled and adjusted to make sure it fits and flies with the real thing, giving you a clear and honest taste of what the whole thing should feel like when you are flying and also how the aircraft should be responding when and where something occurs

  • Animation detail has been improved and brushed up upon spectacularly, capturing the depth and detail of the whole thing whilst also making sure that you get the level of comfort and quality that you had been hoping for in the first place. Indeed, the whole thing can be managed easily and can be improved further by the addition of the animated pilots with various other settings included, too!

  • The whole package comes together thanks to the range of options that you can pick from throughout, and the Aircraft option panel allows you to add everything from new pilots to luggage for the people who are onboard!

  • You will need to take this aircraft to a service hanger from time to time to get it back into its pristine, pure condition. This will mean that if you don't you will start to suffer a range of failures when flying

  • The NTS check and propeller start locking system have been added so that you have access to the most accurate start-up procedure that you have ever seen. The whole thing will make start up and shut down feel far more like it would if you were flying a real aircraft

  • A totally unique auto pilot mode has been built from scratch, replicating the real thing and giving you access to the various pilot modes including IAS climb facilities which make it much easier to hit the top of the skies in the aircraft, without you having to really do anything!

  • Animated first stage compressor turbines add a nice little layer of realism to the whole thing, ensuring that you can get the help that you need in making the whole thing come together in the correct manner when it's needed

  • Custom windshield effects have been added so that when the rain hits, and the custom reflections start to hit the windshield, you will really get that true feeling of authenticity. The whole thing comes together wonderfully in this sense, detailing the depth and precision of the aircraft with true precision

  • The aircraft comes with a unique set of coding constructs created for it, which will provide you with access to two totally customized Garrett TPE331 turboprop engines, alongside sounds and extras for the Garrett simulation to ensure that it feels the most realistic that it possibly can! This geared drive engine is likely to be unlike anything that you have found in a Turboprop in the past, giving you a whole new kind of experience!

Drawing from their wealth of knowledge on this particular aircraft, Flysimware have created the definitive Mitsubishi MU-2B-60 that is arguably as close to the real thing as you can get. While made available for users of Microsoft's Flight Simulator X (including an easy installation into the Steam version of FSX) and Prepar3D, Flysimware's consideration to the end user goes even further. They have included multiple models specifically designed for pilots using a variety of other add-ons, including the GTN750 GPS and GNS 530.

As for the model itself, it looks great. Sporting HD textures in a handful of liveries and packaged with a few really nice features that work very well in boosting immersion and realism. World reflections, for instance, make the model feel tangible, like it's actually a part of the simulated environment. This is helped even further, by numerous custom effects like rain on the windshield, as well as the addition of specular lighting to the exterior of the aircraft, something that has become a standard for most high quality models.

Mechanically, it's pretty much flawless. Every little thing has been covered and seems as true to life as one could imagine, without having knowledge of the real thing, of course. Even going so far as to have an accurate pressurization system, animated pilots and the option to add luggage to the cargo hold.

The virtual cockpit shows of this models accuracy very well, regarding both the visuals and the performance. The gauges have been meticulously coded, with custom animations across the board, and pilots running DX10, will get to enjoy self shadowing across the console and throughout the interior. One feature, that seems to stand out more in the cockpit, is the sound set. Not only does this aircraft have a completely custom sound set, but these sounds even cover environmental and interior sounds. It's all well and good when the aircraft sounds real, but when you have sounds from the environment and other sources, things actually happening around you, it adds a lot to the overall realism and ultimately affects how much fun you have flying this MU-2B-60.

With this version you get six planes, three with a Garmin 530 and three was another Garmin. The three with the Garmin 530 work. The three with the other Garmin do not, and neither does the transponder, both appeared to have no power. All six do not have a working weather radar the controls cannot be manipulated, you can't turn it on you can't change any of settings you can't do anything with. On a scale of 1 to 10, it gets seven. The airplane flies quite well you can handle it in short runway situations, but because of the Garmin issue and whether radar issue you can't actually do any real world whether or navigation problems unless you want to add for tracking and training you can't get there from here. With no manuals, no reference materials. I paid way too much for this airplane. And depending on what you're doing sometimes Microsoft flight simulator SE does not properly end, and you have to do a restart and or rechecking your files for it to work properly. Do not recommend this version of the aircraft for lack of support.

Awesome airplane. I have a few of the freeware MU-2s, and they are cool, but they are very lacking in detail and features. I wanted something with more usability and I was skeptical about purchasing this, but I'm glad I did. I have the Steam Version of FSX and this works fine.

The two biggest highlights of this DLC has got to be all of the functionality of the cockpit, and the SOUNDS! Bravo, bravo, bravo on the sounds for this. I especially love the ramp-up noise of the turboprops when you transition the condition levers from taxi to full. The insane attention to detail is great.

If you like cold starting, make sure you download the manual for this plane, or watch the info videos regarding startup. The start-up proceed, with regard to engaging and disengaging the prop locks, is tricky the first time.

I love the MU-2B, it's one of my absolute favorites to look at and to fly. It's a bit quirky, but in a good way. She lands a bit different than say the King Air, but it's a lot of fun.

Quality build model.

This is a fantastic product, the attention to detail is second to none, then the sounds are all there and the flight dynamics are simply great. Now getting into the textures, gauges, engines, reflection, window tint where it is supposed to be and pretty much everything else is simply awesome, the proper landing gear compression when touching down hard and the list goes on and on.

The only thing that I miss is the 'cockpit view', yes the non virtual one where you can access some or the majority of the controls and such, it has taken me some time getting used to fly it without but then again the flight dynamics are so solid and so good that it is a breeze to fly even in marginal weather. It would be a welcome addition in the future if it happens.

For those of us that were lucky enough to fly the real thing back in the day, this is a sweet ride into memory lane, simply put 'priceless' !

Thank you much for such an awesome product.
