July 18, 201312 yr Hi, I just started flying the 33 Bonanza again and I've got a question. Does the fuel selector in the real plane really behave like it does in the sim, where when switching tanks you have to go through the off position? I noticed that the graphics on the selector show that it can be selected otherwise. So if the real thing isn't like what is modeled I was thinking I might try to look at the xml and see if something could be done about it, if it is a xml gauge, does anyone know where this xml might be located? Thanks Mark :Idea:
June 15, 20178 yr Have a similar question. Does the F33A-V35 have crossfeed fuel drain or does one have to change tanks during flight every hour to maintain symmetry?? 2 Monitors, 240G SSD.FSX:Steam with UTX USA Scenery, ORBX Base, Buildings, Airports, NorCAL, Steam addon- Airports, Trees, Milviz310R, Alabeo310R, Flight1 GTN750/650, Carenado- TBM850, Baron, Arrow, V35, F33, C441, 421C, Phenom 100, Premier 1A, RA Duke B60 V2, RA Duke Turbine V2, Active Sky Next always running real WX.

February 26, 20197 yr I just finished a flight in the Bonanza and noticed the fuel selector appeared to be in the off position! When I hovered over the knob, however, a tooltip appeared that said it was in the "All" position. Gil Yoder about.me/gyoder

If you are really keen to operate the fuel selector as in real life, turn it to Left or Right and then watch the tanks drain accordingly. Bert
