A2A Bonanza (for P3D Academic)

Key Features

• Aircraft DNA technology re-creates actual engine and airframe vibrations.
• V-tail physical modeling captures the character of this classic aircraft.
• New analog gauge physics delivers a living cockpit unlike ever before.
• Install a 285 Hp or 300 Hp Continental engine in the maintenance hangar.
• A true propeller simulation.
• Experience the world’s most recognizable high performance general aviation airplane.
• Hand towing.
• Immersive pre-flight inspection system designed by pilots while operating the actual Bonanza V-35B.
• Electric starter with accurate cranking power
• Dynamic ground physics including both hard pavement and soft grass modeling.
• Primer-only starts are now possible. AccuSim monitors the amount of fuel injected and it’s effectiveness to start and run the engine.
• Persistent airplane where systems, corrosion, and temperatures are simulated even when the computer is off.
• Immersive in-cockpit, physics-driven sound environment from A2A engineered recordings.
• Complete maintenance hangar internal systems and detailed engine tests including compression checks.
• Designed and built to be flown “By The Book.”
• Visual Real-Time Load Manager, with the ability to load fuel, people, and baggage in real-time
• Four naturally animated passengers that can sit in any seat including the pilot’s.
• P3D’s support of directional lighting allows a more advanced lighting system.
• Pure3D Instrumentation now with natural 3D appearance with exceptional performance.
• A total audible cockpit and sound engineered by A2A sound professionals.
• In cockpit pilot’s map for handy in-flight navigation.
• Authentic fuel delivery includes priming and proper mixture behavior. Mixture can be tuned by the book using the EGT, Fuel flow or by ear. It’s your choice.
• All models include A2A specialized materials with authentic metals, plastics, and rubber.
• Airflow, density and its temperature not only affect the way your aircraft flies, but how the internal systems operate.
• Real-world conditions affect system conditions, including engine temperatures.
• Spark plugs can clog and eventually foul if the engine is allowed to idle too low for too long. Throttling up an engine with oil-soaked spark plugs can help clear them out.
• Overheating can cause scoring of cylinder head walls which could ultimately lead to failure if warnings are ignored and overly abused
• Engine, airframe, cockpit panel and individual gauges tremble from the combustion engine.
• Piston combustion engine modeling. Air comes in, it mixes with fuel and ignites, parts move, heat up, and all work in harmony to produce the wonderful sound of a Continental 520 and 550 cubic inch engine. Now the gauges look beneath the skin of your aircraft and show you what Accu-Sim is all about.
• Actual avionics used in real Bonanza V35B’s flying today.
• The TSO’d King KFC 200 Flight Director/Autopilot with complete 2-axis (pitch and roll with altitude hold) integrated system with professional 3-inch Flight Director displays.
• Three in-sim avionics configurations including no GPS, GPS 295, or the GNS 400. Built-in, automatic support for 3rd party avionics.
• As with every A2A aircraft, it is gorgeously constructed, inside and out, down to the last rivet.
• Authentic drag from the airframe and flaps
• System failures, including flaps that can independently jam or break based on the actual forces put upon them. If you deploy your flaps at too high a speed, you could find yourself in a very dangerous situation.
• Authentic battery. The battery capacity is based on temperature. The major draw comes from engine starting.
• Oil pressure system is affected by oil viscosity (oil thickness). Oil viscosity is affected by oil
• temperature. Now when you start the engine, you need to be careful to give the engine time to warm
• Eight commercial aviation sponsors have supported the project including Phillips 66 Aviation, Champion Aerospace, and Knots2u speed modifications.
