You can use a mod for that and it applies to most planes.

Thatās great, thanks Iāll check it out!
Uwaās mod is includedā¦ So there is no point unless he updated.

Yep, I just discovered that. I tried editing the LIGHT_ASOBO_Taxi_G36.fx file by increasing the Range and Intensity numbers under LightAttributes.0 for the taxi light, but it didnāt seem to have any effect. Guess Iām not doing the right thing.
Sooooā¦ Is it just me or did they mess with trims since the last patch? I am having a hell of a time getting this thing trimmed out since the last patch. +/-500 ftp per trim input on the Alpha yoke. Aileron trim moves at +/- 0.5deg now vs 0.1 againā¦ so a regression there.
Iāve noticed when I startup the plane that both displays come on immediately when I flip on the batteries. I have the latest G1000 update from Working Title (I think), so did that change something?
I am flying an FSEconomy flight with 5pax total of 6 including pilot with 50% fuel on board and the plane CoG shifted to back making the plane tip back and having a tail strike right after I edit my load.
Is this normal on a Bonanza G36?
For this aircraft in FSE it is normal, unfortunately. It has to do with how FSE loads the mass. I just let FSE load in the fuel and passengers however it wants to, and keep the elevator trim at about 3 to 4 degrees nose up for take off and Iāve never had an issue. With a full passenger load plus fuel, if the trim is much more than about 5 degrees nose up, the plane will rotate on itās own without touching the yoke at 50-60 knots.
What is normal climb rate. When using ias of 84ish Iām only getting 700 or so ftpersec. Seems low to me.
What is your mixture setting? If the mixture is set to full rich (100%), the engine power in the sim will be substantially less than maximum possible power. This is a known issue right now that Asobo needs to fix eventually. Try turning automixture on in the assistance settings. Or, if youād like to adjust manually, lean the mixture during run-up when youāre at the 2000 rpm stage of the checklist. Reduce mixture until the fuel flow gauge reaches a maximum.

Iām dumb. I new that issue too. I have pulled it back a few times in climb but wasnāt thinking about how bad 100% is. Iāve had a stop on my mixture so it wouldnāt go past low 90s and removed it. Thanks for the reminder.
@FrettFS / @CaptMatto, planning do a short flight in the G36 this evening. Let me know if you need any additional video recorded for systems on the real airplane.

Iāve been on a bit of a break since the release of 0.5. There are many things Iād like to add/improve but many things are beyond my current programming capabilities. However, for future reference I can think of the following from the top of my head:
- Response of fuel flow to fuel pumps
- Connection between ailerons and rudder while on the ground taxiing
Itās late and canāt think of anything else atm. Have a nice flight!

Thanks so much
I think any footage of the leaning process would help everyone immensely 
Have a great flight!!
Reckon now the dust has settled we should pool ideas as to what we want to achieve next
Iām guessing the mixture oddities is on Asoboās side?
EDIT: Once in cruise and with the new G1000 Lean page mixture isnāt much of an issue in the air anymore, just not being able to use 100% mixture on takeoff at sea level is just odd to me.
i think in the flight_model.cfg there is stuff on rudder and aileron connection.
something.
I agree. Itās almost as if there is a linear connection between 0ft MSL, the mixture, and the power produced. I wonder if you took off from somewhere like death valley, where itās below sea level, if youād end up with full power at full rich mixture? LOL
There IS a linear connection here. Made these tables with SimVarās and SKEW to understand what is going on using standard BARO

Here is a video showing the fuel flow on low (stabilized around 3gph). And then on High. I didnāt go quite all the way to peak, as this is a little excessive in my experience. But was around 18gph. (Also, ignore the first 4 seconds, I started to prime it and wasnāt sure I was recording) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMQgs68Uh-8
Here is a video showing how the yoke moves left and right when making turns while taxiing. https://youtu.be/PdEp3WVpGB4
@CaptMatto, Sorry I did not see this sooner! Never ended up getting up to cruise altitude and leaning for cruise (just stayed at a few local airports). Will try to do that next time.
For good measure, here are 2 Stearman that were doing some formation passes at Stearman Field (1K1) before we departed back to Beech Field. https://youtu.be/nOf6rfbne-Y

Just wanted to say I tried this mod earlier finally along with the G1000 mod. Great experience. Looking for a few tips though. Been a few years since a flew a beech in a sim. Looking for prop rpm guidelines for takeoff, climb cruise, etc. also what is a standard landing/ approach speed? Iām used to the TBM using around 85. Seemed to work for this but I think it was a little fast probably?
