Stephen Posted December 9, 2015 Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 News! - Released - SimCoders Reality Expansion Pack Bonanza F33A If you love your Carenado Bonanza F33A as much as I do... Then this is the pack for you. When Carenado updated their CT210 Cessna lately SimCoders brought out a "Reality" package to go with the aircraft. X-PlaneReviews did a full coverage of both releases here: Aircraft Update - CT210 Centurion II v3.1 by Carenado + Reality Expansion Pack by SimCoders These extensive reality packs extend the basic (If not good already) Carenado aircraft by adding in features like: Realistic stall speeds & behavior Realistic climb speeds Realistic cruise speeds Realistic Weight & Balance Realistic taxi behavior And the full features list is very comprehensive: Complex Damages System Triggered by the pilot actions Based on real world data Target every system in the aircraft Meant to teach you how to correctly manage an airplane Realistic IO-520 Engine Simulation Realistic propeller animations as never seen before on X-Plane Correct fuel consumption Oil System Injection Fuel System & Fuel Pump Starter Realistic startup procedure Realistic engine temperatures Vapor Lock Simulation Fuel Flooding simulation The engine parts are damaged if not managed correctly Realistic Landing Gear The landing gear is damaged by hard landings and overspeed operations The brakes and tires are damaged if not managed correctly Electrical & Avionics System Realistic Battery The avionics are damaged if on when the engine starts/shuts down Learn with the in-flight tips A non invasive tip with a suggestion about the conduct of the flight is shown when you are not flying the airplane properly A non invasive tip with a suggestion on how to recover the problem is shown when you damage the airplane Stunning sounds Realistic engine clicks and stutters Real starter sound Fuselage wind sound Landing gear wind Independent touch down sounds Real avionics sound Realistic open window wind sound Interactive Walkaround Cockpit checks Aileron, rudder, elevator and flaps check Tire check and choks removal Tie-down removal Pitot tube check Engine cowl check Interactive towing Push, pull and steer using the joystick Towbar simulation Weight & Balance Tool Load the airplane and check the C.G. and weight limits at takeoff and landing The airplane behavior changes when the C.G. moves Popup Kneeboard Complete normal operations checklist Complete emergency operations checklist Complete reference tables (speed, fuel consumption etc.) May be shown/hidden with mouse gestures Simulation state saving Every single switch and lever position is restored when you reload the aircraft The battery may discharge if you leave it on and then close X-Plane When X-Plane is launched, the engine and oil temperature are restored basing on the time passed Maintenance Hangar Engine maintenance tab Electrical systems maintenance tab Oxygen system tab Landing gear, brakes & tires tab The Carenado F33A is certainly one of the very best general aviation aircraft available, I know because it is almost part of my aviation family, just a note to update to the latest version of v3.1 which is available now from Carenado and the X-Plane.OrgStore... if you want to check out the aircraft then go here: Yes! the Bonanza F33A HD Series v3.1 by Carenado is now available from the new X-Plane.Org Store here: - Bonanza F33A Price is US$26.95 Yes! the Reality Expansion Pack for Bonanza F33A (REP) by Simcoders is now available from the new X-Plane.Org Store here: - SimCoders Reality Expansion Pack for Bonanza F33A Price is US$19.99 Developer site : SimCoders ______________________________________________________________________ Stephen Dutton 9th December 2015 Copyright©2015: X-Plane Reviews Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 11, 2015 Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 Hi Stephen, I'm thinking of getting the F33 or CT210 by Carenado and the respective REP. Now I only want to invest in one of 'm using the Sale at Carenado since there are other aircraft lurking around the corner ;-) What would you choose to go for ?

chrstphd Posted December 11, 2015 Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 Dag Stefaan, I flew since few months with the "normal" 210 and I just got the REP package. I only have few hours with it but it's already a real pleasure. I don't use the F33A but the A36 with the Aspen and I hope that SimCoders will dedicate a REP version for the A36. Anyway, if you can't choose, SimCoders post a nice article about: http://www.simcoders.com/2015/10/10/f33a-bonanza-vs-t210-centurion/ Have a nice flight ! (when chosen :-) ) chrstph EBBE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrstphd Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 And, for the records, they planned to implement REP for the A36 too: http://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?showtopic=91351&p=978136 woot! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 24, 2015 Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 Thanks for the tip, Quite interesting since I already have the A36 :-) meanwhile I got the Centurion and REP and it's really great, love the added dimension Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
