Bonanza Professional

@Black-Square Thank you. Really enjoying the aircraft. You have done a great job. I saw this discussed but couldn't find anything recent. Appreciate your work.

@Black-Square Hello! Thank you for taking the time to respond and consider my thoughts. I got the 2600 number from an example of a A36 for sale on trade-a-plane. I can link a few examples of 90s era Bonanzas. Here is an early 80s model (still with the 520 engine which I believe is lighter): N614MM It has a useful load of 1179 and weighs 2420 empty. Here is a 1999 model with only 1040 useful load (I suppose you can figure out the empty weight by subtracting that from the max gross but there are so many max gross weight increase STCs it is hard to tell what max gross is for a specific aircraft): N316P Here is another 1990s model with around 1050 useful load. They get crazy heavy towards the end. N6255J I know that there are a ton of STCs that boost the useful load. Some of them don’t even involve changing anything on the airplane. The biggest one is the tip tanks. Adding the tip tanks, depending on the type used, can make your useful load go up to like 1400. The company D'Shannon sells a bunch of gross weight increase kits on their website: here Maybe the numbers you saw where aircraft that had those STCs? I am really enjoying your wonderful products, your Bonanza is my favorite so far. Just putting it out there, I love Cessna P210s. Pressurization, turbocharging, deice boots, and weather radar! All from a single piston engine! Now that sounds like fun! It is a plane with really unique challenges as it has detonation and engine temperature problems in the climb and at high altitudes. You can read Richard Collin's article on his ownership of one to get a taste for how fun this would be in a flight sim: here I am sure you would get a kick out of it even if you don’t like the idea of a P210.

Absolutely! Comes in handy for my less than soft landings. Thanks for the response. I worded the post incorrectly, I was referring to the wheels. The A36 IRL has a 6 in hub with wider tires compared to the 8in Baron wheels with a taller thinner tire. The model seems to share the Baron wheels across all variants. Maybe it was already discussed but I saw that the Black Square house livery closely resembles the "Ultimate Bonanza" refurbished A36's. Pretty cool machine and sure enough they were upfitted with Baron wheels. So maybe we have been flying around in MSFS with an Ultimate Bonanza all along!

Yes! For some reason or another engine failure was on. Thank you!

@Black-Square Nevermind, a clean install solved it my bad.

@Black-Square thank you for the quick reply and i really appreciate everything you do for the fs community

@rlashier said in Bonanza Pro Installer Issue: I’m hoping someone from the Just Flight team will be able to help me with this. Our advice would be the same as that offered by Nick - contact Just Flight Support and they should be able to help with this issue: See: https://community.justflight.com/topic/2/product-support

Still the best aircraft for 2024 available!

Thank you. That was the issue. For some reason I parsed the sentence as saying this was present in the reciprocating version of the plane. Thank you for the quick response, and thanks for the wonderful product.

@RPGamerous Thank you so much!! It really was fun going through all my stickers and each one brought me back a memory of what I've done or seen. A few are not aviation related like the Black Kat Kustoms or the Abe Froman and Save Ferris which I added since the red is Ferris Bueller Ferrari red. Thank you so much for the kind words!

I updated to latest SU and sure enough the display is working again. Imagine that Microsoft SU breaking/fixing things

I added the IFR and Landing views to cameras.cfg. Now I am able to adjust and save those views. Here are the added CAMERADEFINITION blocks: [CAMERADEFINITION.33] Title="IFR" Guid="{9455F7C9-C826-4FE2-A803-D6AC36D3AAC5}" UITitle="IFR" Description="" Origin="Virtual Cockpit" Track="None" TargetCategory="None" ClipMode="Normal" SnapPbhAdjust="None" PanPbhAdjust="None" XyzAdjust=0 ShowAxis="NO" AllowZoom=1 InitialZoom=0.408867 SmoothZoomTime=5 BoundingBoxRadius=0.1 ShowWeather=0 CycleHidden=0 CycleHideRadius=0 ShowPanel=0 MomentumEffect=0 ShowLensFlare=0 PanPbhReturn=0 SnapPbhReturn=1 InstancedBased=0 NoSortTitle=0 Transition=0 Category="Cockpit" SubCategory="PilotCustom" SubCategoryItem="ClosePilot" InitialXyz= 0.033192, 0.011464, 0.308273 InitialPbh= -8.463341, 0.019782, -0.174713 [CAMERADEFINITION.34] Title ="Landing" Guid ="{E4D82C6F-1A57-4B39-9C0E-8F6B2A731D45}" Description ="" Origin ="Virtual Cockpit" MomentumEffect =1 SnapPbhAdjust ="Swivel" SnapPbhReturn =0 PanPbhAdjust ="Swivel" PanPbhReturn =0 Track ="None" ShowAxis ="YES" AllowZoom =1 InitialZoom =0.25 SmoothZoomTime =2 ZoomPanScalar =1 ShowWeather =1 XyzAdjust =1 ShowLensFlare =0 Category ="Cockpit" SubCategory ="Pilot" SubCategoryItem ="LandingPilot" PitchPanRate =20 HeadingPanRate =60 InitialXyz = 0.006,0.260,-0.060 InitialPbh = -8.000,0.000,0.000 NodesToHide ="" ClipMode ="Normal" BoundingBoxRadius =0.1 UITitle="Landing" TargetCategory="None" CycleHidden=0 CycleHideRadius=0 ShowPanel=0 InstancedBased=0 NoSortTitle=0 Transition=1 PanAcceleratorTime=5 XYZRate=0.25 XYZAcceleratorTime=0

Disregard! I found it!

I noticed all kinds of autopilot issues when I switched from having the full TDS setup to a radio-only aircraft with dual kx155B. Could engage flight director and autopilot but things went a bit weir from there. Couldn't get the altitude and rate to work properly HDG, ALT, and NAV wouldn't illuminate on the KFC 150 While I could get it to hold altitude and get heading to work, nothing illuminated on the 150. I tried swapping radios then going back but nothing consistently worked. I think I got it to work properly 1x out of the last 5 flights. Restarting flight didn't fix. When doing an AP test, the yoke would turn right despite the heading bug set straight ahead, and trim would go full up despite altitude not being engaged.

Hello ! Thanks to Black Square, I could easily familiarize myself with a nice BE36 equiped with a G3X touch I am keen to also have this mod on my SIM ... Best regards

@SadBucket said in Question about when to contact ATC for clearance if avionics are turned on after engine start in the Bonanza: Didn't realize you needed clearance to start a small piston in EU, sounds absurd to me with the amount of training flights starting simultaneously at my home airport. You usually don't, AFAIK. At least in Germany, even at bigger airports, you usually just fire it up. If you have a ground crew, a marshaller etc., that's something you'd have to coordinate with them, not with ATC. At smaller, uncontrolled airfields, it's generally your responsibility to have a clear prop area (we don't yell out the window, though )
