Pilot Experience Sim has been working on the Maule M7-235 for Microsoft Flight Simulator, and they have just released a new update on the project. The “Tundra” version of the aircraft features bush wheels, and the update includes previews of this version, as well as a look at the clipboard and options such as wheel chocks and loadings. The update also showcases the three basic liveries, the “black interior” versions, and night lighting in the cockpit.
One of the major announcements in this update is Pilot Experience Sim’s new partnership with TDS Sim, creators of the popular GTNXi for Microsoft Flight Simulator. The GTNX750 and 650 will be included as options in the Maule M7-235, providing users with even more options when flying this bush plane. The alpha testing phase has been completed, and beta testing is now underway, bringing the aircraft one step closer to release.
The Maule M7-235 is a taildragger that is well-known for its versatility and capability as a bush plane. Its rugged design and powerful engine allow it to handle rough terrain and short runways with ease. With a cruising speed of 128 knots and a stall speed of just 43 knots with flaps down, it is an ideal choice for backcountry operations. Additionally, the Maule M7-235 can be equipped with floats, turning it into an amphibious aircraft.
Pilot Experience Sim promises a “study-level” rendition of the Maule M7-235, which is expected to be released in April. There was a slight delay in the initial release due to feedback and requests for additional features and partnerships. However, with the beta testing phase now underway and new partnerships formed, the Maule M7-235 is shaping up to be an interesting new bush airplane for Microsoft Flight Simulator.
The new update on the Maule M7-235 development from Pilot Experience Sim has given us a glimpse of what’s to come. The Tundra version with bush wheels, as well as the GTNXi integration, are exciting new features that will enhance the flying experience. The beta testing phase is currently underway, and the study-level rendition of the aircraft is expected to be released in April. The Maule M7-235 promises to be a versatile and capable bush plane that will be a great addition to any pilot’s hangar.
