@robert young @Bert Pieke What is the latest version of the Turbo Normalized Bonanza? I have version 4.1.

Thanks!

As mentioned privately Bert, I tried mine out, and I use (bind) a Saitek trim wheel and mine is functioning perfectly...sometime one gets lucky I guess.

That is the one I use.

But there is another general tweak that might help any aircraft that tends to suddenly alter pitch on engagement, and that is in the AUTOPILOT section of the systems.cfg file:

max_pitch_acceleration =  0.1

This should slow down abrupt pitch changes, but of course this also means when selecting an altitude and engaging climb mode, the nose will take a little longer to rise, so you may have to play with the value, anywhere between 0.1 and 1.0

Hi Rob,

I just changed 1.0 to 0.1 for the A36 and it seems quite happy with that setting.

The BK autopilot in the A36 is different from the Garmin autopilot in the G36 and it was unstable for me when engaging.  The key seems to be the  "elevator_trim_neutral"  variable which needs to be 3 or less, for the A36 autopilot to not run away when engaging first time.

Thanks. I'm doing a line by line comparison: Asobo-RYoung-BSquare.

Rob, we are using your G36TN flight model to drive the Blacksquare A36TC. (With a little tweaking.) As you appreciate, we truly appreciate your work on building flight dynamic models.

Tip of my cap to you. And very best wishes personally.

Thank you!

That's good to hear Bert.

And to conclude (or not) these modifications would apply to all three variants of the BkSq Analog Bonanza? straight analog, tanks, and turbo?  If so a total of six files are then involved?

Does the BkSq Baron deserve any similar attention?

Hi Frank,

Up to six files are involved if you want to do all three variants.  I only fly the regular A36 variant with Rob Young's Turbo flight model.

Personally, I just fly three aircraft.. the RV14, A36, and C414.  For each, I have spent time getting them "just right" for my needs.  I have the TDS GTN750 in all three and am a happy camper.. too many airplanes, too little time..

As for the Baron, I am not aware of an alternate flight model... Rob only did the Bonanza, as best I know.

By regular do you mean the Black Square analog (not tanks, not turbo)?  How are you pairing the RY mod with it?  Just merely loading both with Addons Linker?  Is there a specific loading/ordering method? My RY mod is from some time ago and the BQ model, which I understand is essentially a mod itself, is recent.

Sorry, I thought you were already flying the modded A36.

Somewhere there is a summary of what to do... basically replacing the flight model.cfg file with Rob Young's version, except for the Fuel section.  And as we now know, also edit the elevator_trim_neutral line.
