Anyone with the Mixture configured correctly in Spad.NEXT could possibly post a screenshot of how to configure it correctly on the Bravo?
I’ve tried, but it goes all the way up in the sim with just an inch of movement on the Bravo lever.
Thanks in advance.
Yeah, I didn’t so much mean to imply the MD41-229 applies to the 530/430, just that it’s a switching unit used with a GPS unit. They vary with type of input, type of output, number of annunciators, functions of switches, etc.

Where did you find the aircraft profile in SimBreif?
’
I’ll send a picture of I have mine set up in a short biT:
EDIT: Rather than a new post I just edited this one:
Here are my Mixture settings in SPAD (for bravo quadrant).

The GNS menu “does” control the GPS APR, but the GNS also has an electrical input for an external GPS/APR control.
Having that external control, always with a visible status, in the pilots view, has big advantages over having to route through a PROC Menus on the GPS, to activate the approach.
ie ATC clears you for the approach…
Assuming you have the correct approach already loaded, (ATC should have earlier told you what you should expect , and you have had plenty of time , at your own pace, to LOAD that approach in the GPS), all you have to do is press the GPS/APT button on the external unit… and it switches to ACTIVATED. Far quicker than messing with the GPS Proc menus etc
Once you get “spoilt / use” to it, there is no going back !!
Unfortunately, to date, that external connection is not simulated in MSFS by Asobo default, although 3PDs can easily add its functionality, if they wanted to.

Making one…still a work in progress but it’s pretty close.
The MD41-229 does seem more common in older Cessna but presumably the real world Bonanza they based this mod on actually uses one. Possibly retrofitted or even second hand, who knows.
i dont have a bravo but it would basically be the same. range 0-100 is important.

I recently purchased the Black Square Bonanza and cannot get rid of the STBY ALT warning flashing no matter what I do, I did a search on the forum and bumped into your comment… Can you shed some light on the issue you were having ? Or possible something I might try ?
I see that too, but only if I spawn on the runway engine running. No immediate annun light if start cold and dark. Same for you?
I can provoke the warning by having main alt off and stby on while sitting parked.
In this case I see excessive current on the Loadmeter - much more than realistic.
Maybe a couple bugs here. I will post in the JF support and see what they say.
both alternator ON ? if it s still blinking, try to cycle them on / off to reset it
I have read this about the alert flashing
This system provides 20 amps of power to support continued flight in the event of primary alternator failure. Once activated, it operates in the background, automatically signaling its operation to the pilot through a panel-mounted annunciator light (which also doubles as a standby alternator load monitor).
If the primary alternator fails in flight, the controller will sense the drop in system voltage and automatically activate the standby alternator. If the current requirement is over 20 amps when the standby alternator is activated, the annunciator will flash. Reducing the current usage to 20 amps or less will cause the annunciator to cease flashing and illuminate in a steady state. The pilot may choose equipment needed for the given flight conditions by simply keeping the total load below the flashing point of the annunciator. This will reserve battery energy for transient loads, (gear, flaps, landing lights, etc) during approach. Loads may be beyond the flashing point of the annunciator for up to five minutes without damaging the standby alternator.
be sure by checking the weather radar you don’t have any faillure concerning the alternators in the active faillure sub menu
are you using any honeycomb controller ? or have those alternator siwtches binded to something ?
In my case, the initial version of the airplane had the issue with the STBY ALT warning. Black Square came out with a newer version (v1.1) which fixed the problem, so make sure you have the most current version. See my post here: fixed STBY ALT
With me it was the alternator binding on my Warthog throttle which it was reading incorrectly.
I did contact support and this is the reply which I am going to try after work today:
Hi,
Thank you for contacting us.
A similar issue has been reported before - with the STBY ALT light either lit, or flashing, at all stages of flight - and has previously been resolved by uninstalling the Bonanza using Windows Start - Settings - Apps - Installed Apps and searching for the Bonanza, then clicking on the three dots to the right of the package and selecting “uninstall”.
Please then verify that the “bksq-aircraft-analogbonanza” folder has been removed from your MSFS Community folder and, if not, please delete it. You can then re-install the Bonanza using the installer downloaded from your JustFlight account page, ensuring, please, that you are using the latest version of the installer, which is 0.1.1.
Can you please let us know whether this resolves the issue?
Just as a quick explanation, The STBY ALT light is indicating that the Standby Alternator is in use. This device kicks in when the engine is unable to provide sufficient drive to the main alternator and, as such, it should only be lit when at very low power settings, or in the event of a failure. When the light flashes, it means there is too great a load on the Standby Alternator for it to supply and the pilot should reduce the load by turning off unnecessary electrical systems.
Nope, mine was just a conflict with a hardware binding. As soon as I mapped the alternator on to a different button on my controller it went off.
The manual uninstall and reinstall the update, cured the warning light always on.
Still see–>Load meter is not consistent when doing the standby alt test in the runup checklist. Why would the secondary load be much higher than load running on main alternator?
In the animation calculation for the loadmeter needle, when switch selects primary, the scale constant is 100.
When the loadmeter switch selects secondary, the scale constant is 20.
Reported to JF
Screeshot replaced in the correct post.Had posted in King Air (major overhaul will come also for this aircraft making some progress in textures designing and learning little by little 
)
Still adding some details and playing with glass gauge reflection…sample on refined background radio Altimeter .

Kind of weird. My condition lever from my Honeycomb Bravo doesn’t work on the Bonanza.
Very nice! I have seen all your posts. Really appreciate the attention to detail. It looks great.
