Bonanza Professional

@Black-Square said in Manipulating Cabin Air Vents via LVars: I once had someone tell me that L:Vars had no units, and that adding them made no difference. Those words echo in my head almost every day when I have problems, haha. Unfortunately, the FSUIPC documentation is rather poor on how some of these features work. How to implement them in FSUIPC, yes, but what you're actually doing, not so much. This has mainly been me trying to parse how the large library of pre-made bindings and functions from years of community contributions from all flavors of MSFS. The example I was looking at for the cowl flaps was from A2A's Comanche cowl flaps, as well as finding the RECIP ENG COWL FLAP POSITION:1 variable in online MSFS SDK where it was defined as a percent. In the manual, you listed 0-100, and it started working once I put the all-important A: in front of the var name. It was only because I have also seen "number" used in that field, as well as "enum," that I thought to try it. As I said, I don't have any documentation with a list of what it could possibly be. For the various air levers, while percent seemed to work for the levers, it did not for the valves they control. Do you, from a programming standpoint, have any inkling as to what might have been happening under the hood when the input was... typecast(?) as a percent instead of a number? This is purely me asking for a glimpse of how it works under the hood.

@Black-Square Fantastic! I'm very much looking forward to this change. Thank you very much for all the time and effort in this project! The Barron and Bo are my favorite addon. The time and attention to detail really show.

My sound designer and I listened to your clip, but try as we might, we can't hear anything out of the ordinary. For the sake of experimentation, would you try moving your camera to the right seat and telling us if the sound is now biased to your left ear? Everything we heard panning in stereo as you moved your head seemed to be as expected over here.

@Black-Square Thanks! As I say, I'd be happy for you to use this. Very cool that this is modelled BTW. Haven't tried it yet, but someday soon I'll have to pull the mixture overhead a nice big runway...

Yeah, clearly. I'll confirm my table interpolated number later. Probably in the neighborhood of 199kts and 1,078nm. Thanks for pointing it out.

Solved! It is a stock simulator variable, so it is looking for the A: in front of it. The full variable for interacting with is A:RECIP ENG COWL FLAP POSITION:1. Figuring that out, plus making my math actually do what I wanted it to do fixed it right up. Next update pass, Nick, would you mind including the A: prefixes for all base sim variables? After a quick look through the Bonanza manual, I think that's the only one, but I haven't checked your other products.

Yes, I saw your post elsewhere. This should be a relatively easy fix in just two places. Expect it for 1.1 very soon. Thank you!

As I've explained elsewhere, there are two different issues at play here. The "Load With Covers" setting is being saved, but the way aircraft are loaded in MSFS 2024 is preventing them from remaining deployed (the camera zooming in from outer space causes the aircraft to move around a lot, which removes the chocks). @turkintheus The other issue is Asobo's cloud state saving. If you are also not seeing the Hobbs state save, then the issue lies either with your system, or with Asobo, because I have exactly nothing to do with saving the Hobbs time.

I have to apologise to have submitted what does not belong to this forum, I realised after further testing that my TDS software did not load correctly. After rectifying this problem , my GPS functions perfectly and so does the Bonanza. Case closed.

@Black-Square This is why you deserve every single dollar you make, you CARE and you listen, some of the smallest things that really wont matter to much people you take the time (hours) to perfect it for the people that want it. There are large scale dev teams that wouldn't even think to do something like this. You are a solo class act. Thanks as always for your hard work and appreciation for your customers. Legend!

Ironically, I've seen aircraft owners go through great lengths to find "door stewards" that effectively prop their doors open in all conditions. I've thought about this. Anything is possible, but as you can imagine, I'm about 1,000 "just one more thing" features deep at this point, so I have to prioritize some over others. In the meantime, you will find that the door is unable to stay open past around 60kts. I figured this was a good, simple compromise. Nothing looks sillier than opening a door into the wind at 200kts.

Hi Peter, you may not like this answer, but honestly, if I were you I'd wait a little longer until you have that bit extra to buy the bundle. It's too good a deal to miss and I think you'd only end up circling back to buy the other addon anyway and end up paying more long term... That said I'd ask if you have any of Nick's other aircraft? For example if you already have his TBM850 then you may want to prioritise the Baron pack as the Bonanza Turbine is very similar and you may enjoy the challenge of multi engine. Same with the Dukes, i.e. you may want to prioritise the Bonanza if you already have a light twin...I'd extend this logic to ownership of other quality addons like A2A Cherokee/Aerostar? If you have none then I'd probably go Bonanza as the package is so different with NA, Turbo Normalised and Turbine variants, I think you'd have pretty much all GA flying uses covered and then some (to be fair the same could be said for the Barons as well :-)) Or just go shallow and get the one you like the look of the most No bad choice here they are all superb it's just that bundle discount that's the main factor for me Cheers James

@Jannik-Stein Thanks for sharing. Despite making aircraft for anyone around the world, my regulatory knowledge is entirely US based. I wonder if there is a logical reason for this, like that most of Europe occupies higher latitudes than the US, and the tropopause is lower in the winter at higher latitudes, or if it just reflects a different appetite for risk.

Page 157 of the manual Fuel Sender Limitations The analog fuel instrumentation in the reciprocating engine version of this aircraft was designed for displaying fuel quantities up to 51 gallons in each main wing tank, but the turboprop conversion includes additional fuel cells in the extended wings. Each wing contains an additional 11 gallons of usable fuel that is not reflected on these fuel gauges. The fuel totalizer function of the ETM Engine Trend Monitor can help estimate the quantity of fuel remaining before the quantity remaining comes within the range depicted on the analog fuel instrumentation.

It's not a show stopper for me by any means! I know the Bo just came out but I just noticed it and figured I would say something if anyone else was having the same issue. I have been looking forward to this bundle for a while especially the Bo. Thanks for working so hard on a quality product.

It won't be in the cockpit, but perhaps the opposite side aileron or pitot cover.
