Review

After flying the new Carenado B58 Baron for about five hours I’m convinced this file should be the first ACF we paste an X-Award for Excellence on. While not 100% v10 compliant (I noted oil pressure and Amp gauge issues common to many ACF in v10), after this brief time it’s simply a matter of common sense: this is now the best GA aircraft in X-Plane. Period. I could prattle on about this or that feature, but suffice to say that everything you’ve ever wanted in a GA twin is in here (though I’d have loved that radar altimeter from the F33A), and because this ACF is textured at very high resolution the look of the file is simply breathtaking. - xsimreviews.com
