The X-Aerodynamics M500 is a high-fidelity simulation designed to finely replicate the flight characteristics, accurate appearance, and systems of the real-world Piper M500 (PA-46-500TP).

 

​

  • High-end flight dynamics: Professional-level detail and accuracy.
     

  • Integrated G1000 Avionics: Implementation of the X-Plane 12 X1000 EFIS, featuring specific M500 systems integration, advanced autopilot modes, and realistic display layouts
     

  • Maintenance system: Optional owner maintenance as well as wear & tear on certain components.
     

  • Detailed Electrical System: Modelled buses, battery limitations, and generator/starter logic.
     

  • Custom Electronic flight bag: For flight planning, aircraft configuration, and more.

​

  • Detailed and accurate 3D model.
     

  • Custom sounds (FMOD)
     

  • Custom fuel loading logic and fuel flow
     

  • Persistent state functionality (system status saved between flights).
     

  • Configurable options for ground equipment and passenger
     

  • Multiple liveries in full PBR.
     

  • Animated doors, access panels, and more.
     

  • Ground equipment and covers.
     

  • Custom backup EFIS.
     

  • Various custom-coded functions to better represent M500 systems.
     

  • Skunkcrafts Updater support
     

  • 2k textures for low-VRAM users
     

  • Paint-kit available (see support forum)
     

  • Full compatibility with Windows, Mac, and Linux (Ubuntu 22.04 or later or similar)
     

 

​

While extensive effort has been made to model complexity, some limitations exist due to the constraints of the X-Plane platform and the nature of third-party development. Users should be aware that this is a simulation and not a certified training device.
However, every effort has been made to replicate the real-world characteristics of the M500; an experienced user of the aircraft add-on would likely be well-prepared to be checked out in the real aircraft.

This product has no link to ,nor is there any explicit or implied approval of this model by the real-world manufacturer; it is an independently developed model.

Aircraft and any liveries, logos and designs presented by X-Aerodynamics do not represent or imply approval by real-world manufacturers, operators or pilots unless otherwise stated. 

While every effort is made to ensure accuracy of appearance and in-simulator behavior of the aircraft types developed, there is no guarantee that these will exactly match their real-world counterparts. The use of flight simulators for design, training, skills currency, and recreation is encouraged, however, users should be aware that no simulator model can perfectly emulate reality. There may be minor or major differences between simulator models and real-world performance due to limitations of the simulator or the aircraft model portrayed.
