Black Square Baron and Bonanza Professional releasing soon

(UPDATE: Do not map both Standard Mixture and the LVAR simultaneously, as they interfere with each other. Use separate profiles, or else use conditional logic to use the Standard Mixture with the regular Baron, and the LVARs for the P and TC. )

I have it like the below. (@CharlieFox00 I actually had both default mixture and LVAR mapped without realizing it until I checked :slight_smile: )

This works for all three variants…the Standard Mixture control for both L and R, and the custom BKSQ LVAR as well. The LVAR is from 0 to 1, and the Rescale Value from 0 to 1 should give you the continuity.

Wife’s birthday, so no simming today, but I’ll verify this all tomorrow.

I am simply in love with the Bonanzas. There’s something really lovely about them, and I still can’t get over the fact that we have the normally aspirated, turbocharged and turboprop versions. Being able to switch between them is so much fun and really helps to avoid fatigue.

Yesterday I did some traffic patterns as a training to really get familiar with its characteristics. The one thing with the Bonanza is that it is over banking heavily. I guess it is accurate though, but it needs some getting used to when you come from a DA40 or Comanche.

Then today I had a lovely flight about 250 NMs from handmade El Hierro airport to GCRR Lanzarote. Took out the turbonormalized Bo and it climbs like a champ to FL125 in a blink of an eye, just crank everything and don’t worry and level out, config at 25/25/ROP and there you go cruising at around 195 KTAS.

I wonder if Nick from BS is going to add any extra features, such as a more advanced wear and tear / maintenance system. Something that makes you feel like you own the aircraft a bit more. I think this is the only area in which A2A still has an advantage. In terms of value for money, if you are looking for high end stuff, the latest Pro bundles might be the absolute best you can find for MSFS.

This seems to entirely be a texture error on the part modeled in-game.

Still detracts not at all from how fun these planes are :smiley:

I’m glad the Bonanza came out before the Caravan or else I would’ve never bought it. It’s a great GA aircraft, very stable, great sounds, worth every penny.

I know exactly what you are saying my friend. It is an error I am sure. Two lines is just a simple mistake.

I doubt it, they have pointedly used the same instrument design in the 2020 planes. It might be a one third derivative of a 3.91 max pressure percentage at which it becomes dangerous.

I think it just made designing and calculations systemically easier this way.
I might be way off but only the designers can clear this up.

When using the JPI EDM-800 Engine Monitor, to select lean of peak (LOP) leaning, hold both control buttons for three seconds until ā€œLEAN Lā€ is shown

How can this be acomplished?

Hi this is for a 760 - perhaps it is similar in operation, learning this myself!

Also around 10.36min

Or in brief, there’s a hidden clickspot between the two buttons to enable double-pressing.

The first vid by P Gatcomb is a nice intro to the unit, which I really need to start using more, as I usually just go by engine sound.

(Gatcomb has some great overall content, highly recommended.)

Yes that click spot is really hidden. You have to hover your mouse over the bottom of the EDM for it to become visible. If I had not watched that video it would have been an eternal mystery!

The hidden clickspot between both knobs is mentioned also in the EDM section of the manual :wink:

Is anyone else having issues getting the registration to show on the bonanzas? It worked on the first flight and is blank on every subsequent flight, and if I get rid of the custom reg the one for the livery won’t show up either.

This setting might be in play, though I haven’t tested it.

I don’t have these two planes yet, but that dynamic registration work on the other BKSQ planes in SU4 beta.

Yeah, that used to be a problem with some aircraft from the start in FS2024. The Blackquare TBM 850 had it as well and it also happens with the A2A Comanche or TacFlight Kiowa.

It appears to be fixed in SU4 Beta, just like Zwoop said.

Alright thanks, I don’t use the beta builds so I’ll just live with it until then. I have tried the slider in the tablet but it doesn’t seem to have an effect after the first flight.

Yeah, with SU3 and before it was hit and miss. Sometimes the reg would show up, sometimes it wouldn’t. Sometimes restarting the flight would make the reg appear, sometimes it wouldn’t. Just a random game of luck. I could never figure out a pattern.

With SU4 Beta it works consistently so far.

Interesting, I have yet to see the reg show up on the Bonanza since I bought it. The EFB switch has no effect for me. It doesn’t show on the aircraft in the livery selection UI, either.

However, the Baron shows its reg. I also have the Starship, and its reg shows when the EFB switch is set.

I wonder why this works for some and not others. I am in SU4 Beta.

Dyn. reg works for me (SU4b) as well. I have to activate it via tablet after loading in though.

It is a bit too large for my taste, so i reduced the size in panel.cfg for all variants.
