Yet Another Bonanza from Carenado - F33A for FS'24

It’s the 2024 SDK standard - expect it from just about every 2024-made aircraft, especially if it has plans on being integrated into career.

With SU2 there’s a single keybind you can use to remove those, and if you bind it to the same thing you use for entering the aircraft it becomes a single click to completely skip preflight. Hardly experience/product-ruining in my opinion.

Just out of curiosity, what’s the keybind I should search for on this? Thanks!

It’s called “QUICK PREFLIGHT” and is currently only available in the Sim Update 2 beta, but I presume it will be included when the final build goes live soon :trade_mark:

Honestly I’m disappointed with all of these GA aircraft centered releases for fs2024, because we need more airliners for career mode and if carenado released the Beechcraft b1900D with career mode support I’d fly it more than the ga aircraft release because I fly airliners more than GA

From what I’ve heard from more than one developer (PMDG and Got Friends so far), career mode is currently locked out for 3rd party access.

Career Mode isn’t locked out, it’s just a cast-iron ----- to get certified. Lots of things aren’t working in Careers (the multitude of posts on the Official Reddit alone says it all :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: ), so patience is called for here folks. Trust me, the individual studios want to get into Careers.

All I know is trusted developers that have worked with Asobo for a while, including as first party partners, have said in very clear terms “it is currently not possible.”

Thanks for the heads up.

Actually this should be able to be disabled in settings instead.

The more I fly this the more I like it. I honestly find it to be the best Carenado for MSFS2024 and despite all the other amazing aircraft I have, many of them costing a lot more, I keep coming back to it.

That says a lot for a Carenado product. I have a bunch of really good aircraft too from A2A, FSReborn, COWS, FSReborn, Black Square, ect. What exactly is good about this aircraft in particular? I might buy it if I can be convinced. I have a number of Carenado aircraft but really don’t fly them that much as I have much better aircraft to choose from. As a GA fan one thing that frustrates me about Carenado is that they have really good models and textures but lack in pretty much every other department. It would be awesome if SimCoders made REP for Carenado aircraft in this sim. Love using them in XP 12. Anyway why should I pick this up instead of waiting for the Black Square A36 / A36TC / A36TP? The F33A and A36 are similar. Why would I come back to ever using the Carenado F33A once Black Square releases their A36?

Carenado has a place when they get it right for sure. Like the 182RG, the Archer, even the WACO.

There is a curve in balance where ‘study level’ also can digitize a lot of intuitive things to where it’s harder than it needs to be. Like making a bicycle simulator and digitizing the entire process of keeping the bike balanced based only on what you see on a screen.

The only conundrum with this one being the the V35B is pretty darn good too.

I find the Carenados perfect for when I have two hours of free time and I want to do a 1:45 flight. Other times I have two hours and 1 hour is fine for me being the ‘experience of everything associated with flying an aircraft’. I’m on the bubble on this one, they should of done tip tanks! Because sometimes looking at tip tanks is worth the entire process.

Totally agree. Carenado got everything right with this addon, Just Flight (and no disrespect) have a long way to go and are no longer top dogs of the GA aircraft.

This is hands down one of the best GA addon aircraft, Carenado have ditched their funky avatars and gone full msfs24.

Carenado if you are reading this PLEASE update all your older fleet (especially the V35b) to the new standard you have set with this wonderful new addition.

I thought the same, I never thought about going Carenado. For one they used their own funky avatars for pilot and copilot, or didn’t even have the option to show them interior (which I like as an added option) but this addon marks a brand new dawn for them.

I really suggest checking out some reviews on YT, with this addon you can do all the preliminaries, walkaround, choose copilot or not, and the interior and exterior liveries are really good.

Great sounds, windows open or closed, I was really pleasantly surprised just how good this F33 is, the competition have a long way to go to catch up to this msfs24 quality.

It certainly is a very nice aircraft and certainly the best thing Carenado have produced so far but lets be reasonable about thus; they in no way approach the functionality, the systems or the flight model of the stuff produced by BlackSquare whilst BlackSquare’s modelling is the equal to Carenado’s…imo. :saluting_face:

Edit: if they could update the V35B that would be just fantastic but it’s a Microsoft aircraft, albeit made by Carenado

And nobody is suggesting otherwise so it is not a fair comparison. Nobody is saying it is the best Bonanza, just the best Carenado, although it is the best Bonanza available for MSFS2024 as of today. For a simple, enjoyable, trouble free flight (and lets be honest, 90% of them are), in a beautifully modelled aircraft, this is excellent, especially for the price.

I think they were referencing this post which implies that Carenado are now the top dog in GA aircraft, which I also think is a stretch but I’m glad to see them creating good products for 2024.

As an owner of most of Just Flights fleet I was just having a bit of fun here.
A little competition is actually a good thing, especially standards that benefit consumers.
Love my Piper III and wouldn’t swap it out for Carenado’s which is good looking, but doesn’t have that “lived in” and personal touch Just Flight bring to the table.

Oh this is one of the best, yes. Not the best, obviously, goes without saying, but it is staying on my drive at least until BlackSquare arrive at the party whenever that is, if not longer.
