Turbo Bonanza Manifold Pressure
-
@voice-of-reason I did not take one of the flight where this happened, but if it does again, I will do so.
I also have what is a couple of nit-picks about the openable window on the pilot's side.
First, though I understand they are not supposed to be opened during the flight (more on that below), having been a real-world pilot where I flew around with the windows open plenty of times, whether or not you are 'supposed to' doesn't mean the plane disintegrates in mid-air the moment one is opened contrary to instructions. Since the one on this bird opens inward, it wouldn't even be ripped off the plane by wind forces, though those wind forces might have the same effects on the flight instruments as opening the atl static port would, and it may make the plane a bet less controllable, especially in yaw.
Second, still on the issue of the side window, the following placards are required but missing. I hope I can attach a pic, here goes...
OK good, that did work. Those came from a 2002 POH for the A36 normally aspirated version, I have to date been unsuccessful finding an A36TC POH, so I'm unsure of the proper power settings to use for various phases of flight and whether I want 75%, 65%,, etc, or even LRC.
Here is a link to the non-TC version I found if it may prove useful: https://1drv.ms/b/s!Agjs4q22lK4epbcHy0f-Gw-m_uhuBA?e=Ja9PuA
If you, or anyone else reading this has, or knows where to find the TC one, I would appreciate if someone could share it with me.
I am really looking forward to the release of the Baron on Thursday as I understand it. I've already warned my wife that I will be spending her money the minute it comes out (I'm disabled and unable to work, so we are left with only her income now and have to scrimp and scrape), it is so worth it, at least assuming it's up to the standards of the Bonanza.
I genuinely appreciate the work and dedication you guys put into all of this! I hope you are not taking my input as whining and moaning, as a RL pilot with many years of experience, I think I am able to provide a unique perspective that I hope will only serve to improve the products, because that is my sole intent.

@kevykevtpa Next reply from the developer for you Kevin.
Glad to hear you haven't had any further problems with the manifold pressure. Let us know if it recurs, and if you are able to stabilize things by repairing the engine within the weather radar display. Yes, I have been known to open the window in my aircraft many times, telling passengers that I was "testing for the presence of air" :) This is a known issue with MSFS. Anything that opens is considered a "door" in MSFS. Most owners of payware aircraft disable airframe stress damage in the main simulator realism settings for various reasons, including this one. You will find that opening the windows of Black Square aircraft in flight affects the cabin temperature and pressurization, where appropriate.
I believe that the window placards you found are applicable only to the two overwing emergency exits, behind the pilot's seats. I was not able to find a picture with any placards accompanying the front window. Always happy to include anything that's missing if you find a reference, though.

Hi,
I own the bonanza now for some days and have made some nice flights with this stunning addon "plane".But I also recognises some strange damage incresase or loss of engine condition.
I flew nearly 2h (straight forward) with full engines set (full throttle and prop) with no effects to the engine condition.Otherwise I was flying in the alps with cruise setting between the mountains and valleys with 20% decrease of engine condition in 1/2 an hour (many curves and "stick pulling").
As far I could investigate this it seems to me that giving positive G-force to the plane has an enormous effect to the condition decrease. No matter if you level off a descent or flying long steep curves.
As soon as you apply some force to the plane by pulling the stick it affects the engine condition much more than any engine mismanagement. -
@voice-of-reason Thank you Voice, or whoever it is I'm talking to LOL... So far no recurrance of the manifold pressure issue, and I've even tried, so... Tis a mystery for now anyway.
Now I'm off to fly the Baron, been looking forward to that especially as an alternative to the stock one, which sorta sux.... #justsayin
Still haven't found the TC POH, so hello world, if anyone has one or knows where to find it, short of buying it, please let me know! Haven't looked for the Baron, though I may have from when I was flying the stock version.
But now with these two GA beauties, I may never fly an airliner again! And someone (I don't remember who just now, brain dead after trading stocks all day) published a really nice KTPA so that made me happy, too, just look at my name to know why LOL...

Just for info:
It seems that this is really a bug in the addon, triggered by the cylinder temperature management in some way. The support is aware of this and will repair this in the next patch for the Analog Bonanza.Happy landings,

Hello,
I have exactly the same problem with the Bonanza. In level flight, the pointers of Manifold-Pressure and Fuel-Flow always wobble back and forth. No matter what I change on T P M, the back and forth wobble remains.Then I saw this topic and wanted to record a video of the problem. In the next 2 flights I have then made, the problem did not occur.
So far I have not found out when the problem occurs and for what reason.

There are several things that ended up being discussed in this post, including the degradation of engine condition due to rapid pitch changes (a byproduct of my cylinder cooling calculations). Since I know this has been fixed and made public since then, I know the Bonanza went through another round of testing before that release, which did not reveal anything anomalous with the manifold pressure and fuel flow. I also have not seen anything suspicious while developing the Bonanza Professional, which uses some of the same fuel flow simulation code.
As I said in a previous post, I am happy to look into this further, but a video of the fluctuations would really help me diagnose the problem. If you can provide that, I am more than happy to take a look!
