It would appear that SU6 broke the outside registration numbers and the inside ASI in my favorite airplane.

The culprits are the four LOD00 files in the model folder.

I have logged this at Zendesk, but in the interim you can replace these files by the SU5 version if you kept a backup..

For those who did not, here they are:  https://www.dropbox.com/s/w4o380vzsfdqa7n/Bonanza_g36_LOD00.zip?dl=0

I struggled with "too long path name" errors as I made the changes.. I hope you have less trouble. 🙂

If you end up not liking the changes or something gets screwed up, you can delete the Bonanza and reinstall it in MSFS.

Thank you Bert - you are a genius Sir!

 

Thanks Bert!

@Bert Pieke is one of those altruistic souls who DOES more and talks less... he's been instrumental in many an aeroplane becoming eminently usable... heck @Carenado should send him royalties for all the work he's done on their aircraft in FSX and P3D.

We are lucky to have him making the transition to MSFS with us.

Agree totally!! But, Him?? He is here you know..you can address Bert in the first person

 

@Bert Pieke - A while ago you also identified a small edit (delete a couple lines in a cfg file) to the RY B36 to address a conflict with float planes I believe it was. The edit affected some prop animations on the B36. 
 

I forgot about that until now and ran SU6 without reverting those changes first. Might that cause problems now?

I do not think so... I still have that edit active.

Bert - a T/O from KBFI, a T & G at SEA, a solid 104kt climb to 5600, a spin, then a landing with a full-on slip back onto SEA in the 36 - and the old girl is back!!.

You are now in my will!  🤑 
Thank You.

Took me an uninstall and full reinstall after SU5 to circumvent the long path issue.  My MSFS installation is now simply located at D:\MSFS2020 and Community and Official are at the next level.

I typically use 7zip rather than the default windows decompression utility to avoid such complications.

All you have to do, to avoid 'too long path names'....is to place your zip folder right in the model folder, and then use 7 zip to EXTRACT HERE.   Done...

Thanks.  Not sure that would have worked with my original install location. No need to find any avoid now.  Taken care of with new shallow custom install location.
