We're happy to release a new update for the Accu-Sim Bonanza 35 today. More info and the change log can be found here, and I've also included it below. Please don't panic if you've reported an issue which hasn't been addressed in this update. We do have plans for a further update which will add some more changes, including changes to the NAV/COMM1 and NAV/COMM2 assignment of third-party GPS products.

Accu-Sim Bonanza 35

Version 18.9.29.0 Changes
  • Added gear and fuel selector shortcuts to the input configurator.
  • KFC 200 APPR mode accepts GPS vertical guidance.
  • KAS 297 altitude selector rounds hardware inputs to nearest 100.
  • Fixed nav lights being independent of electrical power in FSX.
  • Fixed default GNS 400 "PUSH CRSR" and GPSMAP 295 "QUIT" buttons.
  • Fixed RXP GNS 430 "DIRECT TO" button.
  • Fixed screen alignment for RXP GNS dual option.
  • Enabled LinkVor and Crossfill settings in RXP .ini files.
  • Yoke manual electric trim rocker switch doesn't work without electrical power.
  • Fixed miscalculation for CHT cooling (°F/°C conversion error).
  • Fixed flight director 'jumping' on headphones activation.
  • Increased engine idle RPM slightly.
  • Increased VNE in aircraft.cfg to delay overspeed crash detection.
  • Corrected ATC call in aircraft.cfg.
  • Corrected "Control wheel - remove" typo in walkaround.
  • Fixed graphical artefact on inside of door glass.
  • Reduced AFK "emergency" low power trigger from 10 hp to 1 hp.
  • Revised AFK feature so that if the predicted time to ground contact is < 5 minutes, the sim will pause.
  • Restored and improved stall physics.
  • Removed obsolete "texture.a2a" directory.
  • Magneto switch shortcut returns from start position when released.
Note for repaint users: this update replaces your "aircraft.cfg" file so the existing copy will be backed-up in the same directory as "aircraft.cfg.18.9.29.bak".

Thanks,
Nick

Thanks so much for the continued updates and work on this awesome little plane. So glad we aren't waiting months for one huge overhaul. 8)

Hi Chris - yes, for FSX users only, I've slightly revised the update content to make sure the most recent files are installed. This is down to an error on my part - apologies for any inconvenience. P3D4 users aren't affected.

Updated 30 Sept 2018:

Accu-Sim Bonanza 35
  • Version 18.9.30.0 Changes (Only Applies to FSX)
  • Included updated version of "A2A_Accusim.dll".
  • Version 18.9.29.1 Changes (Only Applies to FSX)
  • Forced overwriting of existing Aircraft Configurator and Input Configurator files.
So, for anyone who has an FSX installation of the Accu-Sim Bonanza, please click the "Bonanza Check For Updates FSX" icon to check you have the latest version.

Thanks,
Nick

I'm loving this aircraft, I'm so excited about this plane that I even started a trip around the world in P3D.
But I can not go above 12,000 feet for long because of hypoxia, i would love if in a future update, we had supplemental oxygen, with masks on the virtual pilot and passengers.

Best regards,
Samuel Magro

Thanks,
Nick

Nice surprise this big update. Thanks a lot!

For the VC-texture update, can you be specific which texture-files are modified for the new objects?

Thx,

Marcel

Does this new Accu-Sim update require P3Dv4.4 or is 4.3 ok?
I use 4.3 and in no hurry to update unless required.

There's no requirement to update to P3D v4.4 for this update Les, nor is there any specific v4.4 based content.

Thanks,
Nick
