DC’s G36 Performance Mod

DC’s G36 Performance Mod

This mod improves the performance of the MSFS G36 Bonanza, bringing it APPROXIMATELY in line with the operating handbook of the actual aircraft.

I’m not a pilot, have never ridden in a Bonanza, and am new to modding any generation of Microsoft flight simulators. However, I know how to read a POH, and I know the stock G36 flies like a pig, so I’ve tried to improve things. I welcome constructive comments and suggestions via Discord: dciskey#2100. I’ll keep working on this as I learn more about what all the stuff in these files does.

Before you install this, make copies of your engines.cfg and flight_model.cfg files and put them somewhere safe, in case you don’t like this mod or something goes wrong.

KNOWN ISSUE: At a standstill, and zero throttle and full rich mixture, the engine will quit. Solution: either lean the mixture to around 75% or crack the throttle open to about 800RPM. Real pilots do this to prevent their spark plugs from fouling, so, uh…it’s realistic!
