Hello!
Firstly, I would again like to tell that the A36 is just like a real aircraft, I can't complain absolutely anything. Just everything is there. Perfectly done!
I'm simply a bit curious about a few things. 1) If flying the tip tanks version, where is the tip tank fuel level indicated and how does the fuel system structure of the aux tank equipped plane look? With Aux tanks equipped airplanes there are often corresponding positions on the tank selector valve where you can either lock or open the aux tanks for use. As there are no additional gauges nor the valve positions, am I assuming correctly that the tip tanks are directly connected with the main wing tanks (like extensions) and it basically just results in an overally larger fuel tanks in both wings? 2) What is the approximate extra range the aux tanks give to the Bonanza? 3) Is the aux. fuel pump used during take-off and landing or not? From the checklist it seems like not, although all the real planes I've flown have had the need to turn it on for those phases, therefore I've done it with the A36 as well, but never been too sure if that's normal ops.
Finally, would there be a chance to make the transponder Squawkbox 3 compatible? This would really make this package the best of the best (not saying that it already isn't ;) ).
Thanks very much.
