November 6, 20205 yr Title specifically not including the airport to pique your curiosity and dip into the post.... Now that you're here...I have this great deal to make money...I was recently approached by an African Prince who's exiled in this country, with his assets frozen...if you guys can just give him $10,000 and your bank account number, he'll do the rest and repay you $1,000,000 when he gets his bank account open.......really!!!....I saw this same thing reported from many people on the web, so it MUST be true! Anyone interested please let me know. 🙂 Anyway....I digress...LOL...if you don't already know this famous airport.....Google it please...then fly there. Stunning! Hoping @cavaricooper and I will spend many early morning hours here.....sipping coffee and talking all things aviation and flightsimming. 🙂 I cannot heap enough gratitude onto @robert young's shoulders for making this Bonanza one of my favorites to fly.....amazing skills to get her so dialed in! 😉 EDIT: Was flying around the area some more.....immersion ruined by MS's need to pop a little advertising in an otherwise beautiful part of the world. 😞 Still stunning nevertheless. Maybe someone will create a mod that whacks all these ads out of MSFS. @Mir // Flightbeam, waiting for your Quito....can't wait to see this place with your touch and lack of MS advertising. 😉 Loved the P3D version and flew freighters here whenever I had a chance to fly!

November 6, 20205 yr Great shots Steve! Have to agree with your comments about @robert young's aircraft. It is by far my favorite as well. Currently on a Caribbean tour with this beauty.

Currently on a Caribbean tour with this beauty. Oh my! Lovely set indeed! If it were not for the spotless appearance of the plane in shot 2....and only if you scrutinized the plane and not the background...you could not separate that from a pic of the real plane. I love how in MSFS, no matter how close you seem to get to the plane...the details stay sharp! I mean...really? This is the "default" in this sim? Looks terrible...I don't know how all these simmers can stand looking at this while flying their screenshot simulators! 😉 Edited November 6, 20205 yr by Steve Dra Regards, Steve DraGet my paints for MSFS planes at flightsim.to here, and iFly 737s hereDownload my FSX, P3D paints at Avsim by clicking here

If there is one thing that stands out about this sim, the aircraft exterior and interior modelling take the prize. For default aircraft, they are extremely well done and a lot more accomplished than some payware from the recent past.

November 6, 20205 yr Nice job Steve, SEQM in Ecuador was a great scenery for Prepar3d from Flightbeam Studios...but much better now with the surrounding area in full photo-scenery. Darryl

You can even notice they got it right with the GNS knob integral lighting which comes from 4 lights beneath the ring. I won't comment about the screen content though because you already know what I'd say! 🤐

Never have default aircraft looked this good, and I hope we get to eat the whole cake soon. 🙂 Regards, Steve DraGet my paints for MSFS planes at flightsim.to here, and iFly 737s hereDownload my FSX, P3D paints at Avsim by clicking here

Darryl Yeah I agree...I hope @Mir // Flightbeam has something up his virtual sleeve....this area is just too scenic not to fly in. His airport would be the icing on the cake (wait....didn't I just make a "cake" reference in my other post...the cake has been eaten...plate down in the sink...why am I still thinking cake?

Excellent pics of Ecuador main airport SEQM. I suggest flying around the mountains from SEQM to the old and dangerous Quito airport, now closed to commercial operations. You'll be flying over the city of Quito. By the way and sorry to digress, but it's the Bonanza G36 turbo mods fully compatible with the newest MSFS 1.10.8?. Thanks.

Kidding...so far it works fine for me...and I also have the latest working title GPS mod. I have seen in a few instances a CTD....it is ALWAYS followed by touching the GPS so far (in an appropriate way I assure you, hehe)...then some short sound distortion, a brief pause, then bye bye. Thinking thru that logic....it may be something in the GPS mod...maybe a bugged dial clicking sound? Dunno, can't replicate (what's new)...but when it happens...generally its there. Being more careful (and mindful) of my GPS activities...hope to have a good repeatable bug to report when it happens again. Anyway...does not deter my passion to fly this awesome bird! One thing to look out for...totally unrelated to the mods, but "may" randomly happen at patches...my flight model got switched to "Legacy" vs "Modern". It is not that noticeable in the 172, which I fly alot...unless you go full up elevator. I 1st noticed it in spades when doing a group flight with @cavaricooper and while his Bonanza lifted gracefully off the elevated runway at Sedona in front of me....I was at full up elevator, turned the tail of the plane into a plow as I plowed a nice grove in the end of the runway then in the dirt...just before a launched off the cliff and slowly descended to the floor of the mesa. Then I tried the172, found it flew off ok...but anywhere i put the elevator to start a climb...it would do maybe 100fpm...the more I pulled back (at 115 knts), the less she wanted to climb...looking at the physical unit in the back with external view...full deflection...not stalling nor climbing. Went exploring in the settings...found it. 🙂 And I will certainly be flying all around Quito Ed....its simply gorgeous. 🙂 Regards, Steve DraGet my paints for MSFS planes at flightsim.to here, and iFly 737s hereDownload my FSX, P3D paints at Avsim by clicking here
November 6, 20205 yr Hi Steve, thanks for the detailed information, I'll try the Bonanza mod tonight without the G1000 mod and will see. If you want to try a nice approach within a city, go to SVFM (Francisco de Miranda Airport in the middle of the city of Caracas, Venezuela), and try to land on Runway 11. In fact you can start your flight at Rwy11, turn left within the valley looking to the West and then do the approach to the East, to the same runway. Be cautious with the lots of buildings in the landing path and remember the city is close to 2,600 ft altitude. Happy landings.
