Bonanza Professional

Thank you so much for your detailed explanations. Make sens to me now !

Yes, the ground friction in FS2024 is nothing like it could have been, or hopefully becomes. It is also a major contributer to swaying across the centreline of runways as if tires didn't exist at all. In RL, tires have a lot of friction, especially laterally. If you have ever wondered why it is hard to keep ANY aircraft going straight when landing or taking off - there's your answer. Asobo have a lot to answer for imho after having raved about how they modelled this feature.

@DangerZoneDmo that’s a great post. LOP wasn’t talked about much when I flew GA aircraft back in the day. I don’t think I flew with any planes with Gami injectors so we just flew ROP. Now I just fly the bit metal tubes so my knowledge is just from watching YouTube videos or magazine. I’m guessing it’s a MSFS limitation because the mixture adjustment in general is very incorrect on most planes in MSFS. Maybe Blacksquare can do some tweaking in the future though to get it closer to your points.

Yay! Glad it was an easy fix for you. It will be in the next update for everyone else.

@Black-Square Many thanks for your reply, and confirmation that nothing significant changed between the versions (as I suspected). That leaves the possibility that an OnAir update changed something, so I'll dive down that canyon now and see what I can see. And many thanks for an absolutely tremendous 'complex single'

Any hope for this at all?

@Petzep This is an excellent explanation of MTBF, and I have now pointed several other commenters in this direction to read it. Thank you for taking the time to write it

Although I'm always interested in more persistance and aircraft ownership features, it's really the inconsistency of Asobo's state saving that's holding me back. I don't want to create all these ownership features, just for some users to find their progress erased on some random load of their simulator. That would be more frustrating than not having the features, in my opinion! In the meantime, this conversation might interest you. It's all about how to think about MTBF, and how it differs from other damage models.

Came here to also post an observation but this seems related so I'll post here too. I use a Streamdeck to monitor trim values, which saves mousing down to look all the time. I use (A:ELEVATOR TRIM POSITION,DEGREES) I have noticed the following on the Bonanza TC The plane loads in with my Streamdeck showing 0 degrees elevator trim If I enable Settings > Flight Interface > Instrument Tooltips - that also confirms 0.0 degrees On the aircrafts trim markers, its showing around -1.5 degrees (the first D below 0) Moving the trim to 0 on the aircraft trim marker is showing me +2.1 degrees from the sim I can see the plane marker ranges from -15 to +15 ish and the sim is -20 to +20 degrees, so I would not expect the numbers to be perfectly align. However the fact that 0 is not 0 did throw me off. If I bind a button to "0 (>A:ELEVATOR TRIM POSITION, NUMBER)" it will reset as above - sim showing 0, trim marker at -1.5. So this would explain why when the OP sets their trim to 0 is getting a +2 degree climb Maybe this is how the aircraft really is??

After some research I finally got the mixture lever for the A36TC to work with axis and Oh's by using IE:BKSQ_TURBOCHARGEDMIXTURECONTROLLER with axis min 0 and max 1 float rounding. I suppose this would work for spad.next as well.

Do you think that in the future, the consumption of motor oil and its replacement will be feasible?

Thanks, I was curious if your useable fuel figures were simply just a number. Silly me...

@Ape42 That's some fairly impressive RPN. Would you like a career with Black Square Simulations? Thank you for providing that for my users! I didn't know that automated scripts were possible with SPAD. That's very good to know, and seems like an optimal solution for this particular question.

You might be able to reliably retrieve that data from... C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Limitless_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\SimObjects\Airplanes\bksq-aircraft-bonanzapro[variant]\state.CFG (slightly different path for MSFS 2020)

Your welcome - good news is it remembers the checklist for each plane too - so you don't have to reimport them every time :). Let me know how you like the abbreviated checklist on the Baron and if I should take the time to make a similar one for the Bonanza. I've been refining my abbreviated checklist and will probably put out an update in a week or so.

@SebAvi Hi Seb. Thanks for applying your keen observation to my newest aircraft. I hope you don't mind if I reply in list form, since I've been receiving so much feedback lately. There should be a substantial impact on cranking performance, as it uses the same code from the Dukes. The increased friction, oil viscosity, and battery internal resistance should all play a roll. Engine performance should reflect the density altitude, but my sound designer and I have not made an attempt to capture a rough running engine during the warmup phase. I've received a lot of notes about this. This is one of the few features which I haven't taken complete control away from the simulator yet in my aircraft. I'm looking for a safe solution that I can roll out across my fleet. The easiest way to induce spark plug fouling is to leave the mixture at full rich at low RPM and low CHT. I have seen this effect many times in these aircraft, since I often have the simulator running in the background while I troubleshoot code. Thanks again! All your suggestions always make my aircraft better, so I'm always happy to listen!

@nrcrate said in Some Bonanza Feedback/Ideas: Since the last update, I can hear what seems to be the nose gear touchdown sound while taxiing occasionally, like the nose gear is skipping when it really isn't. I did not hear this before the last update I 2nd this

@CoolGunS There are cases where the path length can cause issues that prevent installation in the Community folder. In such situations, using the BROWSE option is a great workaround. Additionally, when troubleshooting, the Addon Linker makes it easy to add or remove add-ons from the Community folder—it's much faster and more organized than manually copying and pasting files
