The straight tail Bonanza A36 was actually FIRST produced in 1968. The one that Dreamfleet modeled is a 1998 model.

[Kyle]

ok thank you for clearing that up

[pagir]

Can you give me the "true" name of the Bonanza A36? We can update the production date to correct it...

The Beechcraft Bonanza has been in continuous production since 1947 and is the world's best-selling and longest continual-
selling series of single-engine, retractable aircraft. More than 17,000 have been built. The Bonanza A36 is powered by a Teledyne
Continental IO550-B engine rated at 300 hp. It has a top speed of 184 knots (212 mph) and a maximum range of more than 900 nm with
reserves and seats up to six.

In a calculated move to increase sales, Beech introduced a radical re-design of the Bonanza on September 14, 1959. The aircraft's
trademark V-tail was replaced with a conventional straight tail, resulting in a new variant initially dubbed the “Debonair.” (Later models
would revert back to the “Bonanza” moniker). The current straight-tail model, the Bonanza 36, was first built in 1968 and is still in
production today.

***** and another exerp i found******

The Bonanza 35/36 holds the distinction of one of the most successful aircraft in aviation history, with more than 17,000 built, as well as
one of the most prolific, remaining in continuous production from 1947 to this day.

I need the "true name" used by FsP.

Start a FsP flight with the A36, then open the Inflight report (CTRL-SHIFT-i). You'll found the name used by FS2004 and FsP. With this
name, we'll be able to adjust Fsp!

It's strange...

Are you sure FsP says the production ended in 1968? If it was 1984, I could understand...

And yes, the "official name" of your plane is "DreamFleet Beech Bonanza A36"

Can you verify if it's not 1984?

Anyway, we'll try this. Can you edit the file " production_date.cfg" located into the config folder of FsP folder.

Find this line:

AircraftName =beechcraft 35,bonanza,beechcraft-35,beechcraft.35

Rewrite it this way:
AircraftName =Bonanza A35,Bonanza A-35,Bonanza A.35

Please come back and report the result!
