Need a ittle help with new Bonanza

[Roy Warren 434]

Just downloaded and installed the new Bonanza V-Tail.  Very easy to start and taxi and could very easy become my favorite plane.

The only problem is I never could find the button to set the altitude.  Also would like to know V-Speeds.

One downside is just as I was flying it for about ten minutes I had a CTD.  Could have been me clicking all over the place looking for the altitude button.  Hope is was all it was.  Everything was so smooth.

Please help me out here.  Thanks,

Roy

There is a separate altitude gauge somewhere below the AI. Dial in altitude, hit the SET button. 

Have a look at the Famous Flyer discussion here: you will find a link to the V35B POH which will Gove you the v-speeds (I seem to have deleted mine, otherwise would gladly list here). 

EDIT

Set ALT under the IAS, as shown here on Ryan's screengrab.

Also Roy, a lot of us are getting CTD's at the moment. There is a massive thread on the official forum about it while Asobo investigate - it will be sorted soon we hope.  One theory is that it is a server side problem as it is widespread.

Thanks for you and loop-d-loop helping me out.  I saw the thread about the CTD's so I wasn't concerned about it being the Bonanza.  It was the first CTD that I've had in several months. They will eventually figure it out.

Roy, watch your fuel on long flight....I was at 10,000 ft and down to about 1/4 tank in left tank, just about to switch to right rank when the engine quit

I did switch and recovered, I thought that 1/4 seemed a little soon .to give me a shut down. Maybe at 10,000 ft and full rich on the mixture was incorrect. It has happened twice.

Also I show a "Low Voltage" warning on my HoneyComb Bravo throttle quadrant, ammeter shows good charging so not sure what  is going on.

I made this mistake as well. This version of the Bonanza only has 22 gals per tank and 3 gals is unusable (which is an error… the real Bo has 25 gal with 3 unusable.) Anyway, the engine will die when you hit 1/8 of a tank! (22/8=2.75) So don’t let that gauge fool you… 1/8 of a tank is empty!
