Stephen Posted May 30, 2018 Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 News! - REP for Carenado Bonanza A33F XP11 You may have noticed I didn't mention anything of the SimCoders REP (Reality Expansion Pack) for the Bonanza F33A XP11 in my comprehensive review of the release of the X-Plane11 version? That is because at that point in time the REP pack was only for the X-Plane10 version of the aircraft. Fear not as the XP11 REP version is now available for the new F33A Bonanza... First point to make is that this updated REP pack is an Initial release and not an upgrade, but for previous owners of the F33A REP package you can get a 60% saving on the new XP11 price of US$19.99. There is a coupon code in your original REP F33 XP10 invoice in your X-Plane.OrgStore account to use that offer. The feature list is HUGE: Native Virtual Reality Support Complete support of new X-Plane SDK 3.0 Menu visible in VR Windows visible in VR Custom Engine Model 100% custom engine model independent from X-Plane default Engine monitor Ultra Realistic Flight & Ground Dynamics Realistic stall speeds & behavior Realistic climb speeds Realistic cruise speeds Realistic Weight & Balance Realistic taxi behavior VR Support Native Virtual Reality support 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 Simulation state saving Persistent wear and tear 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 Realistic IO-520 Engine Simulation Automatic startup procedure Realistic propeller animations as never seen before on X-Plane Correct fuel consumption Custom propeller governor Oil System Realistic oil viscosity Interchangeable oil type Oil pump failures Realistic oil filter 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 Interchangeable spark plugs: default or fine-wire Spark plugs fouling Realistic Lean of Peak and Rich of Peak operations Engine Preheater and Winterization Kit The engine may be warmed up upn start with the provided electrical heater Once activated, the electrical heater runs even when you close the simulator A winterization kit let the airplane to operate at very cold temperatures 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 Simulation of Hypoxia Tunnel Vision Hard Breathing Stunning sounds 3D sounds (custom FMOD-like sound engine) 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 Fuel quantity check Oil quantity and quality check Lights check Postflight walkaround 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 New Custom stall warning horn Gyro drift simulation Popup Kneeboard Complete normal operations checklist Complete emergency operations checklist Complete reference tables (speed, fuel consumption etc.) May be shown/hidden with mouse gestures Maintenance Hangar Engine maintenance tab Electrical systems maintenance tab Oxygen system tab Landing gear, brakes & tires tab HeadShake Integration REP drives HeadShake to simulate the correct vibrations of the Continental IO-520 engine Avionics section Realistic gyro wander and HSI behavior Very easy on FPS Written in C++: no compromises For an overall view of the SimCoder REP - Reality Expansion Pack then click on this plugin review: Plugin Update : REP - Reality Expansion Packs v3.4.1 Requirements: X-Plane 11+ The Bonanza F33 XP11 by Carenado is required for this add-on.

chrstphd Posted May 31, 2018 Report Share Posted May 31, 2018 Some times ago, I had to choose which Bonanza to buy... and I choose the A36 because of the Aspen Avionics. And now, I'm still dreaming about a REP for her. One day... ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Posted June 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2018 The A36 Aspen is a very good choice ? I love the aircraft, and yes I do think once the A36 has been upgraded to XP11 then a REP will come for the aircraft... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyingcom Posted June 28, 2018 Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 Hi Is there way to turn off Simulation of Hypoxia as there wasn't there on the first initial launch. The problem is as soon as I reach 10100 and there is a message on screen and there seem to be no way of turning this feature off. Many Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Posted June 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 There is a switch in the REP Settings menu? it is called "Enable hypoxia effect" a secondary hypoxia tickbox is on the X-Plane Menu "General" page under "Simulate blackout, redout and hyopxia effects".
