BRSIMDESIGNS - BONANZA H35 V-TAIL - MSFS

Was hesitant to get this one as it's from a new developer and some of the reviews were mixed. However, I have to say that even after just a short time with this plane I am greatly pleased! The model is very nice inside and out, everything in the cockpit is functional (even the glovebox), it flies great, flies like a heavy Beechcraft and you can really tell the difference in handling when there is fuel in those tip tanks. I'd say the sound is a tad quiet as these things can be quite loud in real life, also a paint kit would be a nice addition. I look forward to seeing more from this developer.

Overall I think this aircraft is pretty good, but it has the potential to be a lot better. She's a joy to fly, however the power delivery seems a bit off. unless you're giving it less than ~20% throttle, it won't slow down. You can very quickly overspeed this plane if you're not careful. When taxiing the plane can speed up by itself very quickly even if the engines are at idle, it's quite annoying to have to ride the brakes all that time. Flaps don't seem to do terribly much either, I would think they'd slow you down a lot more than they actually do. I had to rely almost entirely on reverse thrust to get to stay at approach speed. The exterior model is very nice. I think they could give the props better textures when they're spinning, but other than that it is well done. The cockpit however needs work, the model is not that great, all of the textures are very low-res and the sounds from the interior are just not good. A lot of switches don't have sound at all(i.e. the landing gear lever). You can't tell a difference in power just by listening because the engine sounds the exact same at 50% N1 as it does at 100% N1. I know VirtualCol has had a good reputation for updating their aircraft in the past so I hope these issues get adressed with further updates.
