SP2: what happened to performance...?

Featured Replies

Before SP2 I had to cruise at 23 square in order not to overshoot 160 too much, but after SP2 even at 25 square the Bonanza is struggling to get to 150, which she never really reaches. Performance has gone down a lot. Is this normal/realistic or did something go wrong with SP2...?BTW This is the last time I buy a Carenado plane right after the release, because I don't like having to get used to all those changes in behaviour all the time (had the same with the C185F), just as I don't like all those things not working well. Or not getting answers or even reactions from Carenado to all my questions. I don't like payware beta's. Lesson learned.

Did you possibly apply the Wing Area "tweak"? It slows down the plane, I find.

No, I did apply a few posted tweaks but reinstalled the original cfg before I installed SP1 and SP2.

Sort of same here. I love the looks of the plane, imho the best Carenado ever but even if the flight model improved with SP1, I am now having a hard time to get her above 130 kts IAS. (no tweaks).

KInd regards

Yep-although the ground handling/takeoff is much improved cruise is a little low now.

I find that after applying SP2 my wing area is 177, so everyone may be experiencing the same effect, even though the cfg was not manually tweaked. I just verified that when I did a clean install to be sure I was not mucking anything up.Joe

You are correct. To rectify the slow cruise speed I reduced the parasite drag scalar from 1.0 to 0.8.

That combination (177 and 0.8) works very well for me!Thanks! :(

Hello,I have installed both SP1 and SP2. At 4000 ft, full throttle, mixture 50%, 2700 rpm, 3000 lb weight, I obtains an airspeed of 150 kt IAS. The test flight was done using the autopilot to maintain a level flight at 4000 ft altitude. The outside air temperature on ground was 15 'C at LFMI (French flight test centerr)Have a good dayBenoit

SP2 seems to have been pulled. Just keep getting the "page can't be found" error.Jim
