Just when you think you know it all about simmy world,  it turns out you don't.

The Bonanza should be getting about the same speed performance as the Baron in cruise (about 180knts).  For the life of me, I cannot get the Bonanze  to do more than 105knts in cruise (or climb) and I don't know what I'm doing wrong.  Climb performance is equally sub par.

At about 9000 ft, the RPM is set at 2500, MP is 20, leaned for max performance, cowl flaps closed, temps and pressures are green , (undercarriage is up - in case that was the next question).  105 knots.

Can anyone shed any light on what I am obviously doing wrong?

Cheers

 

 

 

Bonanza is performance is extremely underrated. We either have to wait for community fix or Asobo (which probably take a long time )

Check the loadout when you select it, you might be up near MTOW which would make it really sloppy to handle and would account for some of the problems you are experiencing.

Yeah but in that case the plane would be 160 maybe 140 at worst.. Bonanza is just very Unreal..

I guess in the Aircraft.cfg

Even at MTOW, the performance shouldn't be that shocking.  Okay, just wanted to make sure it wasn't me.  I'd not read anything about Bonanza under-performance in particular, so I thought it had to be me.

True, not saying it's all down to that, just that it won't be helping and sims do tend to overload planes with fuel by default. but yeah, it probably is down to the plane itself having a dodgy flight model, the A320 is the opposite, it sets off like an F-104 Starfighter on an intercept scramble.

Unfortunately problem is in performance  

This a photo of older Bonanza at  17mp 2400 rpm we get 114 kts indicated at 6500 ft (full tanks +2 people). G g36 should perform better

 

 

I'm near completion of an engine and flight model makeover for the Bonanza as a first experiment with the new sim. I'm currently double checking everything which will take some time. I'll then zip it up and publish sometime next week.

Excellent

Hey Robert I thought you were retired but I'm not complaining.

That is fantastic news! I love the Bonanza, but the performance (even lightly loaded) is terrible.

Here  if you don't already have the Beechcraft Bonanza G36 Specification and Description. 

 

 

Every plane I've flown have had some issue or other. I can mainly vouch for jets as that's where my experience comes from.
