SUPERB aircraft -- one of the best I have seen ever.

One of the best aircraft I have ever flown in FS  because it not only looks and feels great in the cockpit (I only fly in VC's and rarely look at the aircraft from outside) but the way it handles is so realistic!

An amazing job there Brett.

Thanks  :)

I took some liberties on gauge/switch placement.. for visibility and access, without having to click the yoke away.

It's also my first stab at modeling some of the gauges. The compass in particular is 100% modeled.

Also.. there's been some feedback about the VC glass.. so I'm gonna upload a patch that includes a PSD paint-kit (it already has a PSP kit).

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

A definite two thumbs up.  Flies straight and smooth.  Very nice set of gauges - haven't tried the HSI yet but the DG part is great.

I now find myself spending more time flying this in FSX, than I do anything in FS9 at the moment.

Keep this up Brett, and you'll have me converted.  ;)

Good afternoon all... :)

Wonderful shots Shane...thanks... ;)

Downloaded your "Bonanza" and glass "Fix" Brett.

I did a thirty (30) minute flight around our local area with several touch and goes.
Superb job compared to anything else I have flown on FS2004 and FSX.

Unlike some I spend little time in VC but this has converted me and gives a new aspect to my flight simulator hobby.

Have never owned or been checked out on type, was in one many many years ago with a friend who owned one.

I posted a thank you in another thread, but this Bonanza is worth more than two thank yous, so here's a few more..

Thank you, thank you, and thank you!
And thank you Alex for the pilot.
