Occassionally I land too hard and set off an alarm. I can't figure out how to reset the alarm short of loading another aircraft and then reloading the P82R. The alarm persist even after shutting off the master switch. I believe this is the same alarm I get if I stress the aircraft. Can anyone tell me how to reset it without reloading or should I try to submit a bug report.

Sounds like the ELT got triggered, and it is a feature that it works if other parts of your aircraft are off (or destroyed). I don't know where the ELT panel is in this aircraft, but you should be able to find it in the docs now that you know what you are looking for :)

I agree whole-heartedly that it's more-than-likely the Emergency Locator Transmitter. Just would like to turn if off - unless the notion is that the hard landing wrecked the aircraft. A wrecked aircraft would seem unlikely since it can be set off on a smooth landing, coupled with too slow airspeed. Bug maybe? Thanks.

So support showed me where I can find the ELT toggle... I can't believe I have been missing it all this time and now I also see why others haven't posted about this issue. For those who too might have not figured out how to reset the ELT alarm, it's located on the PIC door panel (albeit there's no door there). My only consolation is that I didn't think the door panel was modeled with anything clickable. I learned something today .
