The legendary Baron makes it way to your Microsoft Flight Simulator X or Prepar3D software, as Carenado have once again put together a fantastic add-on package that will delight pilots of all disciplines. The light, twin engined piston aircraft fits very well into the simulated world and would be a good fit for anyone looking to move beyond Pipers and Cessnas.

You'll not likely have any frame rate issues thanks to the polygon optimized model that allows for improved detail with less performance strain. Four separate liveries offer some esthetic variation and give the aircraft a more natural feel by being clean and of high detail, but showing signs of use. A blank texture is also included that can act as a base plate for those that want to create their own custom repaints. External dynamic shadows add greater fidelity by making parts of the aircraft stand out from itself and the environment, creating a true 3D feel. While intelligent texture mapping allows for spectacular shines, reflections and attractive bloom effects that keep your visual experience at a premium on long flights.

Tested by real B58 pilots to ensure accuracy in all fields, the flight dynamics of this B58 have been finely tuned to match the performance and behavior of the real one, even down to its weight and balance. To ensure maximum authenticity, even the sounds have been recorded directly from the real Baron, with its 300hp engine translating very well to a digital sound. Smooth animations on the landing gear, ailerons and other moving parts, flesh out the Barons character and make it all the more fun to fly.

On the inside, smooth padded chairs are accompanied by animated folding tables and stunning views out of the six large cabin windows. The virtual cockpit features 3D gauges and custom panels, with two original GNS430s and a Bendix/King KFC225 autopilot installed. Internal dynamic shadows help bring the cockpit to life, especially at night when realistic night light effects create a comfortable glow around the various instruments and screens. Numerous PDFs, covering procedures and performance tables mean that pilots of any skill level can learn from and enjoy the B58 Baron.

I am probably one of the eldest user of flight simulation if not the eldest, as I am 85 years old. I was a pilot in rel life and a computer addict, i used the very first windows of Microsoft it included at that time the first attempt to aflight simulateur, it needed a lot of imagination tobe used, since then I never stopped flying up to the FSX as well as x-plane and P3d, FSW and aerofly.

My experience with the Carenado Baron 58 in FSX gave me the feel of flying with the real thing, as in the real life I spent at least 500 hours flying the Beech Baron 58. I have been flying jets up to the B 727 and the old 737, but for VFR the Baron 58 is one of the best and the Carenado just provided me wth the real sensation and reactions of the real one. I just moved from FSX to P3dV4 and purshased las night or to be precise this early morning at 1:30 am downloaded it and spent close to 4:00 am flying with this very accurate aircraft.

I've been flying the FSX SE stock Baron in Win 10 for some time and was getting bored with it. The Carenado Baron is a refreshing challenge to both familiarize myself with the software and fly it. It's performance characteristics and procedures bring a great level of realism to the experience that the stock Baron lacked.

The other important thing to note is Corenado's excellent customer support. I had a couple of issues with the static elements of the software (closing passenger door, etc.) The support people responded to my email inquiry very quickly and resolved my problem. A definite 5 stars for customer support.

One issue I have is that the autopilot documentation (two pages) is almost impossible to read because it is printed using white type on a light gray background. Still it's a very nice simulation of the Baron and I think represents a great value for the money.
