V-speeds and a few other questions
-
The V-speeds for Vs and Vso in the manual are 64kts and 52kts, for all versions of the Bonanza from what I see. The planes themselves seem to have airspeed indicators that are significantly different however. Piston: 68/62kts and Turbine 85/75kts. I assume this is a manual error? And does the turbine really have such increased stall speeds?
I also wonder if the animation for the aileron trim is reversed? A CW rotation makes a CCW roll and vice versa.
It seems to me that the COM2 Mic/Mon circuits might also be reversed. To listen on Com2 I have to activate the Mic2 circuit.Lastly, I do have other addons and I didn't disable them all, but it seems like the piston versions have a much more pronounced strobe effect on the prop than the turbine. One reason I mainly fly the turbine. Perhaps my imagination.

You will find the correct V-Speeds for the turbine variant in the "Aircraft Performance (B36TP Turboprop)" table of the manual in the "B36TP Turbine Conversion Supplement" section, around page 154.
Which animation are you speaking of for the aileron trim, the knob in the cockpit, or the trim tab itself? The trim tab is servo (as opposed to anti-servo) to the best of my knowledge, so it should move in the opposite direction to the main control surface. In the cockpit, I have noticed what you might be talking about with the knob many times, but I have confirmed that it is a stroboscopic effect. The knob has just the right geometry and rotation speed to give the illusion of backwards motion.
You're speaking of the operation of the GMA 340 audio panel? I haven't heard about any anomalies with this, and I've been using the same code for almost four years now. Perhaps I'm not understanding what you're describing, however. Feel free to elaborate.
What kind of strobe effect are you speaking of with the propeller? From the cockpit, into the sun, away from the sun, the strobes or beacon reflecting off the propeller? In general, all I can say is that the number of propeller blades may have some role to play, but otherwise, the materials and methods are the same between the two.

I've got version 1.1 of the Bonanza Pro installed, and in the manual installed with the aircraft, on page 155 I see the same Vs and Vso speed listed for the non-turbine variants on page 18. Neither appear to match the airspeed indicator in either piston or turbine that I see in the aircraft itself. I just fly them based on the airspeed indicators, but was curious if the Turbine Bonanza has such a drastic increase in the stall speeds and also if the piston bonanza's have higher Vs and Vso speeds than what is listed in the manual.
For the trim, I meant the trim knob on the pedestal. In flight, when I roll it with the mouse, if I see the trim knob rotate CCW, the aircraft rolls CW, which I assumed was backwards. Sounds like that is an illusion if I understand correctly.
For the COM2 circuit I was using the PMS50 but in other aircraft when I monitor COM2 with the PMS50 the Monitor circuit works correctly, but in the Bonanza's I have to activate the MIC2 circuit to listen on COM2 (for ActiveSky weather).
In regards to the strobe effect, I meant just looking out the windscreen. Maybe some addon issue, but I see what I would expect to see if I was sitting in the aircraft when in the turbine Bonanza, but in the piston variants, I see much more of a camera-type strobe effect on the prop. I was curious if there was some prop differences between the piston and turbine variants.
Thanks for all of your aircraft BTW. Every time I fly something else I am disappointed and always come back to my BS planes (Have them all from 2020&2024). Stoked for the Aero Commanders.
