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.
