My first FDE mod

[tiger1962]

The Bonanza G36 is my current favourite, and seems a little underpowered according to a Bonanza pilot on the MSFS forums.

I found the aircraft.cfg has been divided into 8 separate .cfg files for ai, aircraft, cameras, cockpit, engines, flight_model, gameplay and systems. I edited the engines.cfg and the flight_model.cfg only.

It can be located at: C:\Users\>\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Packages\Official\OneStore\asobo-aircraft-bonanza-g36\SimObjects\Airplanes\Asobo_Bonanza_G36

In the engines.cfg I changed the [Piston_Engine] power scalar from 1 to 1.2, thereby increasing the power by 20%.

I also changed the [GeneralEngineData] fuel flow scalar from 1 to 0.7, thereby increasing the range purely for my own preference.

In the flight_model.cfg I changed the [Flight_Tuning] pitch, roll and yaw stability from 0.25 to 0.75, thereby increasing stability by 50%.

I changed the p_factor, torque on roll, gyro precession, engine wash and rudder engine wash to 0.2 thereby reducing the overall torque effect to 20%.

Increasing the [Piston_Engine] power scalar from 1 to 1.2 makes the plane surge forward when starting from cold and dark, so to plan B: Reduce drag instead of increasing power.

The mod is now as follows:

 

In the engines.cfg I changed the [GeneralEngineData] fuel flow scalar from 1 to 0.7, thereby increasing the fuel range purely for my own preference.

 

In the flight_model.cfg I changed the [Flight_Tuning] parasite drag scalar from 1 to 0.5 thereby reducing drag by 50%.

I changed the pitch, roll and yaw stability from 0.25 to 0.75, thereby increasing stability by 50%.

I changed the p_factor, torque on roll, gyro precession, engine wash and rudder engine wash to 0.2 thereby reducing the overall torque effect to 20%.

 

Edit: Tried, Tested and working perfectly - no side effects and more speed, more stability, more range.
