Any news on the Pro Bonanza and Barons?
-
Haven't had an official news update in a while, but Nick has stated in another thread the ETA is a couple of months for Baron & Bonanza. I believe they are top of the queue at this time. Not sure when the Caravan is coming, but if I had to guess maybe Q4? I'm also super stoked for the Barons. Been my favorite aircraft since Flight Unlimited 2! Lol.

@thecheesedip All correct! All three just need sounds and paint, which are all underway. I talked about them extensively at Flight Sim Expo, which is why some people know so much about them, but we haven't published an official update in a while.

@Black-Square I thought a PT6 powered Bonanza was a joke. Someone trying to be the next Mike Patey. Then finding out it's a real thing, I was shocked.
The fact that YOU are bringing one to us in the Sim is even more amazing.
Although, I don't know how you could possibly top the Starship.

As I discussed with many at Flight Sim Expo, Turbine Bonanzas are actually much more popular than you think. I have never seen a Turbine Duke in the wild (without seeking one out), but I have seen at least three Turbine Bonanzas in my time around airports. Most are Allison 250 powered, but there's always at least one or two PT6 Bonanzas for sale online.

@Black-Square what an absolute beast this will be, can't wait to fly your Turbine Bonanza!

I know in my 16 years of FBO line service I've seen a few Turbine Bonanzas. Super rare but definitely a head turner when one is on the ramp. I've only seen one turbine duke in the wild and that was at Oshkosh and normally aspirated Duke's I've only seen about 3.
We are one week away from my airport and FBO from hosting the Bonanza to Oshkosh group. 130 Bonanzas and Barons will congregate on our ramp and then a mass departure on Saturday to make their way to Oshkosh. The best part is talking to actual turbo normalized Bonanza pilots and they are amazed that my sim Bonanza's engine management is extremely close to the real world Turbo normalized Bonanza. Great work Nick and cant wait for them to arrive!

@Kestrel21 I don't think a normally aspirated Duke exists. A normally aspirated Duke would also be an unpressurized Duke.
