Bonanza

***jankees*** · January 2nd, 2011, 10:22

I bought my first carenado aircraft, and I must say, I'm not disappointed:

ahh the V35, great bonanza that is, i've got the Piper Dakota and thats a hoot too! great shots too buddy:ernae:

***Killbilly*** · January 2nd, 2011, 10:45

Yep. The V35 is my "default" bird these days. I'm glad to see you've been painting. She looks great.
I'd like to see a pretty good selection of liveries for this bird. I'd do some myself, but Carenado's planes are difficult to paint.

if you've got photoshop and have the white bitmaps you can paint quite easily if you use the white base as a multiply layer and adjust it's settings above the scheme, can get some groovy things goin' on with that

I agree. I have bought a few Carenado over the years and have never been disappointed. Also, their aircraft are relatively competitively priced. I find many payware aircraft too expensive nowadays. My last purchase was their twin - PA34 Seneca, another nice one.

There are other things about Carenado planes that make them difficult to paint though. Mirrored textures (they seemed to have fixed this, mostly) and misaligned textures (they still have these) wreak havoc on even the best of repaints. I gave up repainting most their aircraft because of these issues.

Conrats on your choice of the Bonanza. It is easily one of Carenado's better models. If your have an urge to get another, then may I suggest their C208B Grand Caravan. Of their models for FSX it has, by far, the highest quality VC and is an excellent choice for touring Orbx's PNW.

perhaps a video with this music? possibly without horses

no problem with mirrored textures (yet)..

An ozzie bird for all that FTX terrain:

**X_eidos2** · January 3rd, 2011, 12:03

When I saw that the thread starter was jankees I thought I was going to see a Bonaza with a shark's mouth, 3-tone camo, and some national insignia. Oh well. Nice screen shots :salute:

**Warrant** · January 3rd, 2011, 12:05

Nice plane, nice shots and nice paint, JanKees! :salute:

Ever had some hours in the real bird?

Carenado is the absolute #1 when it comes to this line of birds!

I agree that it looks great, but what about the registration?
And what do the wings look like?

That's the sad part. I can't trace it..yet.

A search for Beech Bonanza on flicker.com gives nice results. Over 1100 photos.

Not disappointed at all jankees, anything VH registered is very welcome.
TY.

I might have to do that one. I have not tried to do this yet but looks like a challenge.

One thing I wish they had done was to use the bigger wing tanks. The other model has them and they look so much better with the marker light blended into the tip.

Ok just had a look at the textures and this is easy,,much easier than the JF Connie I did. The fuse it in parts so line up is fun but the Conne was in 6 parts so the line up was no fun.
