Beechcraft F33A Bonanza for X-Plane
2 reviews The Beechcraft F33A Bonanza is, without doubt, one of the most reliable aircraft you could fly for a private transport. Small but sleek, it's known for being extremely easy to control and keep steady. However, X-Plane 11 users might not be too used to flying the F33A Bonanza; it's not available. Until now.

This model, the F33A, differs from previous models in that it was armed with a 285HP Continental IO-520-B engine, and also came with extra-long seats and a longer cabin. It was seen as a big improvement over previous models, and over 800 of them were produced by the firm.

NOT A COMPUTER PERSON so I had to go to the YouTube University to get the F33A extra aircraft to load. Took three tries and it was entirely my fault. I expect computers to read my mind and just work. Finally got it loaded and am very happy. Some of the views and settings are not to my liking but I may get the view to be more like the real aircraft. Now I can look forward or I can look at the panel but not both.
