Yes it was! Tomorrow I need to write a few thank you emails for the kind donations, including yours.

No worries Rob! Pleasure is mine! Your mod is my reward! Thanks again!

Can we use the G1000 mod with this?
 

thank you ROB!!!

...love this mod *almost* better than both of my Carenado Mooney (except for the speed-brake animation) and 182T! 😉

I wish the G36 had the same after-market air brakes that are on the Mooney M20R. That would be nice addition.  I drop the landing gear as soon as I get the speed down low enough and use that for my spoilers.

Yes, use the Working Title G1000 latest update, works like it is made for it.

There is a company that sells Mooney-style speed brakes as an STC for the Bonanza.  https://www.knots2u.net/speed-brakes-beechcraft-bonanza-36-models-kt4005/

They also have a gap seal kit that is supposed to add a little bit more speed at cruise. 

(I may have spent way too much time looking at real life Bonanza stuff after I opted to use it for my around the world flight in sim)

Can't wait to fire up this new version!

Thanks for the awesome V2. Have a couple of beers on my own bro

Fantastic as ever Robert.

Thank you very much!

Donated some pounds! Great work!

Brilliant!

Hello,

The Turbo Bonanza is the plane with the best flight model out there, its response to rudder and stall behaviour is wonderful ! 
So thanks a lot to Robert Young & all other modders (especially the WorkingTitle & G36 mod teams) that make this sim much more enjoyable.

However I've made same modifications to my installation to improve my experience:

• The Turbo G36 wants to replace the non-Turbo one. I want both !
• No "Lean" page on the G1000 for the Turbo
• Can't start the Turbo G36 cold & dark with my Honeycomb Alpha Yoke

So I've installed the Turbo mod the following way and was able to fix all my issues. 🙂

*** Disclaimer : This is a temporary hack, as mods will evolve. Don't try this if you're not confident with tinkering MSFS files. This worked for me, I have no idea if it will work for you. I use the MS Store (Deluxe Premium) version of MSFS, v1.9.5 ***

The following procedure is an evolution of Kaosfere's procedure (thanks !) to keep the standard G36 and Turbo one separate.

* Make sure you have the latest G36 Mod by FrettFS and WorkingTitle G1000 mods installed in the Community folder. Make sure the G1000 mod is loaded first (I added "000-" in front of the G1000 directory name, that will do it). If you've already installed the Turbo mod, delete it from the Community folder.

* Go to the directory containing your 'Community' and 'Official' folders.  Inside `Offical\OneStore` live all the stock packages.  Copy `asobo-aircraft-bonanza-g36` from there, in its entirety, into `Community`. [Kaosfere got an error from Windows Security doing this, I didn't. If you do, zip the `asobo-aircraft-bonanza-g36` into a zip file then unzip it into `Community`.]

* Rename the "asobo-aircraft-bonanza-g36" directory (the one in the Community dir !) to "Bonanza-Turbo-V2".

* Open the Turbo mod's zip file, find the "Bonanza-Turbo-V2" in it and unzip it into Community, this will try to overwrite some stock files, allow it.

* Enter the Bonanza-Turbo-V2 directory and find the `SimObjects\Airplanes\Asobo_Bonanza_G36` directory.   Rename it to `Asobo_Bonanza_G36_Turbo`.  

* Copy (not move !) the file Community\bonanza-g36-improvement-project\SimObjects\Airplanes\Asobo_Bonanza_G36\panel\WTEngineDisplay.xml into the Community\Bonanza-Turbo-V2\SimObjects\Airplanes\Asobo_Bonanza_G36_Turbo\panel\ directory

* *** Optional : for HoneyComb Alpha yoke users ***
In SimObjects\Airplanes\Asobo_Bonanza_G36_Turbo\engine.cfg, you'll see : 
 normalized_starter_torque = 0.1 ; Starter torque factor
 starter_time = 1.8 ; Time the Starter stays active when pressed
 
These values are not compatible with the Honeycomb Alpha yoke starter key. The standard MSFS values are 0.3 and 1.5 respectively. But to fix it I only had to modify this one :
 normalized_starter_torque = 0.2 ; Starter torque factor
 
* Regenerate the layout.json file in the Bonanza-Turbo-V2 directory either manually (ewww) or using MSFSLayoutGenerator.exe. (https://github.com/HughesMDflyer4/MSFSLayoutGenerator)

Now : 
- I have both the non-Turbo G36 and Turbo G36
- The Turbo G36 has a functional "Lean" page (the "System" page is present but non-functional as the standard and Turbo G36 have a completely different electrical system)
- I can start the Turbo G36 with my Honeycomb yoke starter key.

Of course, as synergy between teams improve, I hope this procedure will not be useful for long ... But for now it does the job.

Cheers, 
Haddock
