Mario's freeware Dassault Mercure is finally out!

This is really a lovely aircraft. It deserves more screenshots.... Here's one:

Finished the fuel system. It's more in line with the behaviour exhibited on similar aircraft now.
Also revised the starter logic since in-flight starts didn't really work for me.
As a gag, the APU now requires and consumes fuel.

And thinking about implementing an aircraft manager for fuel, payload and panel load/save.

I've also talked to Mario about the mods. He's going to look at them and maybe implement them into a possible update. Good riddance!



Is there a paint kit? ...;)

Funny you mention that, as I've just asked Mario about one today.
According to him, there's a paintkit, but he's is on holidays for now and can't dig it out. He's going to send it over or upload it once he gets back.

A prime candidate for a what-if livery is Eastern, since they were interested but were committed to the DC-9-50 instead.
Or how about all the regional carriers from back when. PSA, Hughes, Southwest, maybe even Frontier. Or virtually any west-central european carrier for the other side of the pond. Lufthansa, SAS, Swissair, Austrian. Japan might also work.
 
Sorry to bring this back but since last December there has been an update that addresses many things discussed here. It's surely a permanent dweller of my hangar now.
