Marketplace only but, may appeal to someone?

Exactly. Good luck Carenado!

It's actually very good and at the price I had to try it.

I've only messed around with it for an hour but there's nothing not to like.

Plenty of room for Black Square too.

Two different generations.  Carenado's rendition is more closely aligned to the Debonair than the later model Bonanzas.

Found any bugs? 

And what about the windows green tint, is it bearable?

Thanks.

I wouldn't say "very good" myself - there appear to be some very obvious bugs when starting from cold and dark, like warning and gear light being on of and the Avionics master switch powering the avionics when the Battery switch is off.
And that's what I've noticed before I've even started the engine

Does it come with their EFB and can you switch to GTN750?

Ah , the cold start was difficult so I just Ctrl+E 'd it.  If that's a bug then let's call it good value and hope for a fix.

The Glass tinting isn't a problem and the GPS switching is done using the EFB. My PMS GTN750 seemed to work OK.

Edit

Just checked to see if the Avionics Switch worked with the Battery off..... not on my copy with  the default GPS.

In fact I've now cold started perfectly having mucked it up earler.

At least it's a full Carenado release and not just a cut down Asobo version? That's a step up. If only we could get it direct from them and not only the marketplace. 

It's OK for the price.  Question.... Is there a tablet and how do you bring it up?

I'm guessing there is a Carenado page on the default EFB as there was with another release recently. 

edit - How much is it? I'm away from my play PC at the moment.

I don't think there's a 3d tablet anymore.  You need to open the main FS toolbar and click on the EFB icon- then you can swap to the PMS or TDS GTNs.

I bought it yesterday.  Typical carenado piston single... nothing fancy, nothing terrible either.  I loaded mine with dual TDS GTNxi's as usual.  Hand flies pretty well, basic "standard Carenado" autopilot hehe.  Wish they'd get a little fancier with a GFC500 some day or something - I'd take a G5 or an engine monitor too.  Sounds are fine-ish.  Graphics excellent as usual.  Their liveries are pretty meh though - TimHH and I will make some nice ones 🙂  I don't know if there is a poh - I'm guessing they can't include that for marketplace releases.  But you can google F33 POH and get one easily.

The aircraft also shows signs of wear/dirt after a while - a native 2024 aircraft feature.  I think you can open the engine compartment too, haven't tried yet.  Oh and of course all of their default liveries offer dynamic registration.

I love any type of Bonanza so this was a no brainer.

No, not really. The F33A with the 285hp IO-520B was already half a dozen iterations removed from the original Debonair and started production in 1970 - same year as Black Square’s A36. Different variants, sure. One’s a 4-seater, the other’s a 6-seater. The aerobatic F33C would have been a fun choice for Carenado imo.
