Yet Another Bonanza from Carenado - F33A for FS'24

Does anyone own the F33A for 2020? If yes, can you please tell me if clicking buttons on dials needs clicking left and right mouse buttons as in MSFS2024?

There’s also a different cursor, either index finger or hand:


Would someone be so nice, that would make me fps comparison with this aircraft vs stock MSFS2024 C208b. Thanks in advance.

This is one of my favorite aircraft - truly charismatic. The interior and exterior design are both fantastic, and flying it is a genuine pleasure. I believe this is one of Carenado’s finest creations to date, and I highly recommend it.

P.S. I’ve noticed a minor issue, though it might not be related to the aircraft itself - possibly something with my hearing. Whenever the engine is running, I start hearing a faint sound in my headphones that vaguely resembles Morse code. I’ve tried disabling all onboard electronics, lowering every volume knob, and turning off NAV and COM, but the beeping continues. Interestingly, it disappears only when I shut down the engine (I tested by cutting fuel while keeping the electronics powered). I’m curious - has anyone else experienced this, or is it just me?

For anyone who owns the F33A and the V35B from Carenado (the Famous Flyer from MSFS 2020), how do they compare? From the video reviews of the F33A, it looks incredibly similar to the V35B in the cockpit, and the sounds also seem nearly identical.

The F33A is sort of next generation Carenado. You won’t want to fly the V35 afterwards.

I’ve got them both and yes they are similar. That’s because they are essentially the same aircraft.

They’re both really nice renditions by Carenado but the F33 has a more developed feature set while the V35 was built down to Microsoft’s budget. The F33, being newer also represents the latest in what Carenado can do in terms of modelling and texturing.

They’re both really nice planes…

F33A in 2024….with the TDS GTNXi

The V35B works okay in 2024 except for the altitude selector - which has been bugged since it’s release in 2020 - and the Garmin 530 unit doesn’t work properly in 2024 but you can download something to fix that from FS.t.

How does the flight model compare between the two? Any differences in feel, rudder authority, crosswind landings, etc?

That’s not an easy question for me to answer as three or four months ago I switched from a joystick with twist grip rudder to a yoke and pedals.

In effect I’ve had to learn to fly again!:face_with_raised_eyebrow: For me, a crosswind landing in GA aircraft is still a work in progress :thinking:.

The F33A certainly seems to climb faster.
