Beech V35 Bonanza

[T6flyer]

Hello,

Went down to my local Flying Club today and found that one of our members has taken delivery of a V35 Bonanza. As its due for a new C of A over the next few weeks, the owner is interested to know if there is a good quality flightsim version available, for FS2004 or even FSX?

For an old aeroplane, you get a lot for your money. Suppose items such as these are going cheap, as its getting so costly to run them.

There's a payware version from Carenado, and there's Mike Stone's, which is also quite good.

You can't go wrong with Carenado!

You can't go wrong with Carenado!

True; and you usually can't go wrong with Mike Stone, his presence in our flightsim world is greatly missed. :salute:

There's a Beech V-Tail stationed at KMFD and I have seen it flying around a fair bit...usually nice and low. Beautiful plane! I have a freeware V-Tail, can't remember who it's by, that is okay. I was working on a paint kit for it, but after encountering some rather odd texture mapping I gave up on it. Someday I might have to buy the Corenado one, as it looks really nice and I haven't tried any of their planes yet.

I know it isn't a Bonanza per se but this is pretty close. Also has a fictive 'V33' variant that looks suspicously like an M35 Bonanza. You'll need to get all three files to work in FS2004. IIRC the same thing is at Avsim as well; just look up Geoffrey Applegate. This one is one of my faves. Cushy interior, pretty quick, can put four adults in it and still have a full tank of gas. Not the best at high altitudes (after all it's naturally aspirated) but for mid-level VFR flying it just can't be beat:

There is a much nicer vintage VC panel for the one at Flight Sim ,check their panels. It's been a long time since I installed it not sure if it's still there ,but wouldn't hurt to check around. Thats only for the older V-Tail the one Motormouse likes.

FSD released a V35B for FSX recently too - don't know anything about it apart from that it exists, and it's on special atm.

Brett Henderson built one that I have. I flew it all the way to the Olympics from my local airport KIRK in a few legs. I like it very much, but I bought a Carenado version anyway. Alejandro Rojas Lucena built one also. Both are available at Simviation.com

[Astoroth]

I forgot about Brett's version, that one is very nice as well.

Gentleman,

I can't thank you enough for replying to my query as to the Bonanza. I will follow up on all of your leads and hopefully we will find something that is of use. What a wonderful place this is, to learn about aviation. Thank you very much indeed.

I know I should have replied earlier, but have spent the last few days flying around England in an Auster AOP9. From one extreme to the other, you might say!!

Look forward to trying out the Bonanzas in due course and thanks once again.

Best wishes,

Martin
