Turbo Normalized performance

SadBucket

What was the temperature of the area you were flying? I also assume you were at climb power?

Around 5°C or so and the above 2kft/min was with TO power

I do know the bonanza has much better than the book performance when not fully loaded, tho 2k fpm seems a little too good to be true. 25" 2500rpm is max continuous power, anything higher should not be used for more than 5 minutes.

I did another flight today, about 0°C and the plane almost fully loaded, achieved 140kts, 1500ft/min climb at full open throttle with but prop to 2500RPM. Not completely out of this world but still seems a little bit too good…

See the following screenshots:

shouldn't even have that performance lightly loaded.

Hmm no update or response?

Any idea if this will be addressed because this unfortunately makes it unflyable

I also find that it climbs at a too high rate.
That being said i find it quite common in the sim.
I guess it's hard to balance it while keeping the other numbers close to the tables.

@Hoff_Flight I'm fairly certain this can and will be fixed by Nick if he agrees with the discrepancies. I believe we are getting a fleet update this summer so hopefully he will get around to responding soon enough. I don't fly the bonanza often, nor have I flown it IRL, so I can't personally attest to how accurate it is.

@SadBucket I'm positive he will. Very much looking forward to the updates.
