V35B Bonanza for FSX

That's funny, I never knew this forum was here...Anyway, here's a few pics of repaints I've done for the V-tail that are available on OZx and Avsim, or will be soon.and a few more:

This mod replaces the original autopilot supplied with the model. The autopilot is loosely based on the Bendix-King KAP150 autopilot, KAS297 altitude alerter and KA315 annunciator. (manual from http://www.bendixking.com/HWL/media/PDF/PilotsGuides/PG-KAP150.pdf ) The autopilot provides a default pitch mode (no VS) as well as a CWS (control wheel steering) system linked to the brake key (keyboard . or joystick button). While the key is pressed, the autopilot is disabled allowing the plane to be flown manually, when it is released the pitch attitude is held and the previous modes restored. The altitude alerter now works realistically (ie. independently of the autopil…

Picked up the V35B during the recent sale and apparently Bernt did a modified FDE for it. Unfortunately, as someone else mentioned it is no longer available at Carenado. I don't expect to do a lot of flying in this aircraft, but would like it to be as accurate as possible when I do. Any ideas where I can find a copy? Thanks, Ernie

No longer on Carenado's site under upgrades/patches where it used to be. Just upgraded to P3Dv4 version. Have they now included it in the main download? Anyone know of where else to source it?

Just had this email from SimMarket Dear simMarket Customer, at simMarket you can now find a new version of your product: CARENADO - BONANZA V35B FSX P3D I'm using P3dv4 ... So I go to Simmarket and download the Bonanza V35B and install it but ..... I now got this What are they doing?

even after the Bernt Stolle patch No Strobe, Beacon or Nav Lights on V35 (same for Carenado Arrow) FSX Steam Carenado..

I am having issues with the FSX version of the V35B. The flight dynamics are way off compared to real world (I fly a '67 V35) and also compared to the FS9 version. Here are the numbers that I am seeing when flying the FS9 vs FSX versions: FS9 10 gph max (regardless of mixture) 0 C OAT 138 knots IAS 12000' 0 wind 165 knot GS FSX 9.1 gph max (regardless of mixture) 0 C OAT 115 knots IAS 12000' 6 knot tailwind 154 knot GS The FS9 version is close to spot in with the real world V35. The only exception being that I can enrichen the mixture and burn up to 15+ gph. Curious what others were getting with the FSX version of this plane. John

I am having fits with getting the rest of my avionics to line up with my RealityXP GNS530 in the panel of my V35B. I am having a heckuva time trying to figure out how to move the rest of the equipment down so that it's below the 530. I am unable to use some of the buttons because of the issue. This is a similar setup to what I fly RW. Also trying to figure out why there are 2 ADF's. I would just as soon not have either. Thanks, John

Hi I just purchased this beautiful aircraft in the ongoing sale. I am having a problem with the GNS 430: the inner/outer knobs do not seem to work. I try to turn them to change pages and nothing happens. The Direct To button seems to work; however, after I get the Direct To screen and attempt to dial in the airport code - using the inner/outer knobs - nothing happens. Anyone else having this problem? Any suggestions how to correct it? Thanks

Hi: Was just trying to see if the reality XP gns430 waas xp can be installed into the v35b virtual cockpit just using the supplied reality xp config. editor? Has anyone done this, and if so have any problems been encountered? Just checking before purchasing the gns430... Thanks... Al

Hi, I am just learning about the V35B and have some difficulties following the checklists. Specifically, it appears that the checklist is close to that of the real plane but not all items are implemented in FSX. For instance, I couldn't find the control lock or the static pressure button. Is there a list of items that are not implemented? Thanks, Peter

I recently bought the V35 Bonanza. FSX kept crashing when I would start the engines with the primer. So I installed the patch and all was fine. I have a bigger problem. I can't click anything in the VC and sometimes I get the double gauges problem where you see two of everything and each gauge is compressed very badly. It is quite annoying. I tried disabling 3D knobs and windows. What else can I do? Even the GNS 430 won't come on when I turn it on through the 2D window from shift+2. It is as if all buttons are frozen. The main gauges work though.

Recently I've had to re-install FSX onto a new system. What a headache.My V35B Bonanza installs fine from the cd but when I try to replace the Aircraft.cfg file and the other airfile, I loose my orange plane.I made a back-up file and placed the original files in there for safe keeping.I've noticed that when I paste the new files in their place that the kb's is the same as the original. For instance, the original Aircraft.cfg file is 17kbs. The new one is only 5kbs. Don't know what I'm doing wrong but it doesn't change when I copy/paste or try to drag it in from the download patch file.Any ideas???I'm wondering if my cd has the patched version already. I had read somewhere…

Good morning, For some obscure reason, I cannot start the V35B from cold and dark. I have tried every trick in the book in know off but without succes. - Battery is on, - Fueltank selected (both or middle position) - aux fuelpump running - mixture full rich When I turn the ignition, starter engine comes to live but dies after 2 turns of the propellor. So I tried loading the aircraft in the freeflight screen, I have tried to load a default cessna (running engine) and switching to the Bonanza once the flight has loaded, I have tried the default cessna with no engine running... It all results in the same situation. Once I cut the engine of the Bonanza, there…

Just being cautious here.... I've downloaded Bernt Stolle's patch from the Carendo Support page. As you'd expect the zip file unpacks to two separate folders - one for the regular aircraft and one for the tip tank version. Each mod folder contains an aircraft.cfg file (to replace the original) and an air file (called V35_ng.air). My question is: Should I remove the original air file (called Carenado_V35.air) or leave both air files in the V35's airplane folder? FYI, my reason for wanting to install the patch is in the hope that it will address the aircrafts rather agressive/difficult handling on landing. I've not read any reviews on this particular mod - jus…

Carenado Bonanza V35B (FSX) I have increased the size of my pop-up G430, mapped all the cursor hot-spots and now have it working pretty much ok. However the two map pages are very small and do not display clearly in the default dark blue colours (even on the larger pop-up verson). I was wondering if there was any way that the map colours could be toggled to display lighter colours (as with the TERR button on the G500) - perhaps using an already available feature that I've missed or by by applying a cfg tweak maybe? I was also wondering if it was possible to hide either the (left hand side) coms/nav frequencies window or the WPT window on the right (this later…

Is it somewhere? I have to use default command for this.

Greetings from the sales! I´m in the retro mood with my V-tail. Any ideas how make it look like from sixties? No GPS etc, just plain ADF/VOR...

I have seen it done but cannot remember the text. Another simmer showed how to do it in fsuip but that is going to require a hotkey for each plane (I think). My wish is to put the same add-on in each plane's panel config using the same window number. Then one hotkey will work for all. Thanks in advance Neal Howard

When I first got the V35B I was using 1 monitor. When I clicked on the 430 to have the movable separate one, it was too small to use. I found somethng on the internet on how to change the size at a forum( this one?)...you had to open this folder, then that folder, then...and then you had to change two numbers...and it worked! Now I've gone to 3 monitors using the Matrox triplehead2go, and the 430 stretches across all three monitors and is very narrow. I've looked on the internet to try and find those instructions to resize the 430, but have been unsuccessful. Does anyone know how to resize the 430? Thank you, Arnie

Although the cursor changes over them, and you can pull and push them, they do nothing. There is nothing about them in the VC Position Instruments V35.pdf.Any idea what they are for, if not in the Carenado model, then the real aircraft ?RegardsPaul

Recently noticed when exceeding 140 knots that the plane starts to vibrate pretty bad. Seems to have just started this. I can see this when viewing from the outside of the cockpit as well looking at the plane. Gear is up, cowl is closed and flaps are up. Any ideas???? Mitch

HeyNew to the forum and PC flight sim in general. RW pilot, though. I've been trying to get the patch update authored by Bernt Stolle, but when I try to install it says it's damaged and I should try to get the update from the author...? Any chance, Mr Stolle? I feel the v35 is a little off since it takes almost idle to maintain an 81mph approach speed, dirty. My dad had an S model v tail and I knew it was fast, but don't think it was this fast... Regardless, I'd like to get the cfg file and update to see if is better, which I'm sure it is...Also I have the problem with the GNS not being clickable at all via the radio stack view, and barely useable from other views. I'v…

Just as stated - popped right into night flying and have no external marker lights of any kind. Taxi and Landing lights are ok though. Anybody seen or solve this problem?Thanks,Chris B."Flapsdown"

Hi Folks,I love this airplane! I was wondering, though, if any of you have noticed the following:1) With regard to the Garmin 430 GPS, the two pages available in the NAV group appear to be the same. I seem unable to find the "Map" page within the NAV group. While a map is indeed displayed in the Waypoint group, I cannot locate the map for the actual flight plan within the NAV group of pages. Could someone point me in the right direction?2) In Cockpit view, when cycling through the respective subviews with the "A" key, I noticed that the subview for the radio/nav stack is 'dead'. That is, I am unable to activate or operate any of the instruments unless I switch to the…
