Hello everyone,

As a result of many requests which were very reasonable and justified, I have uploaded a revision of the Bonanza Turbo v4. It is now V4.1 and has much changed NAV coding that significantly improves waypoint capture and magenta line following with Working Title's NXi Beta. There are are further improvements especially in ground handling and general flight modelling.

Many thanks to Cavaricooper, Bert Pieke and Nyxx for their testing contributions

Please let me have your feedback if you are interest in this mod. Thank you.

Fantastic Rob,

Your great work is highly appreciated !

This is my favorite plane now. Just feels rock solid.

Glad to hear it!

Maybe this is me being a noob, but why does the Fuel Flow Increase when I lean the mixture, shouldn't it be the other way around?  I've checked my mixture is working and I'm leaning (when I think I'm leaning), basically pulling the mixture out increases the fuel flow and pushing the mixture all way in decreases the fuel flow??

If I start with the mixture at full rich and then back the mixture off a little bit, I do see the FF go up by 0.1 or 0.2 gal/hr. But as I then continue to pull the mixture back the FF goes down as expected.

If you are seeing significant FF increases as you back the mixture off, perhaps there is a conflict of some kind with another addon in your Community folder.

It has been a persistent error on all aircraft since FS9 and FSX, and now Prepar 3d and MSFS 2020. The fuel flow does eventually decrease but you have to get the mixture control below at least 90% before the fuel flow indicator stops reversing and shows a correct reduction in fuel. I don't know why this bug has not been fixed for many years. Unfortunately it affects ALL piston aircraft in the sim and is hard coded.

Yes, Asobo actually acknowledged this in an early twitch video. 

It isn't on any of their lists yet, possibly because people haven't raised it enough (maybe not such a big thing for most people) and Asobo have a list as long as a mile already, and the progress seems relatively slow on that as it is.

I would love to see the really long list of issues they have logged, not just the snapshots they show every Thursday.  At least that way we know it it is logged formally and will be looked at eventually.

There is a page of 'current issues', but don't go there or you will be disappointed.  It is very short, and for some issues, the workaround is basically 'don't do that thing'.

Thank you very much. So great to see MSFS on Nexus, its where I get all my other game mods. 

This made me think - could Vortex be used a mod manager for this game as well?

I don't know as I haven't used vortex, but I do like Nexus and their upload system is very good. And contrary to some perceptions it is free. You just have to quickly sign up.

Hmmmm thanks for reply but don’t recall seeing this behaviour in other piston aircraft I would need to double check.

Well I didn't touch the mixture routines as it is impossible to do so unless you get into WASM over-rides, and I have not done that. The Bonanza suffers from this more than other defaults but if you look carefully you'll see that all of the piston-engined aircraft display broadly the same anomolies. So be my guest and double check!

Hi,

I’d like to know if this mod includes G1000 Nxi or it is the default Garmin 1000 from Asobo.

Thank you.

The mod does not change the G1000.  You have to choose the NXi separately if that is what you want active.

I just took a look at the Baron 58, and as I began to pull the mixture back from full rich (on either engine), the Fuel Flow first went up just a bit, and then began to fall. Same behavior as in the G36.
