Baron 58 and 58TC Mod v1.0

Thu, 01 Mar 2018 01:31:07 +0000

This is a makeover/modification to the Carenado Baron 58 and includes a separate 58TC model. The following modifications are included:

In addition to the default GNS 430 the mod is compatible with the F1GTN 650 and F1GNS 430, including night lighting adjustments. Reworked KFC-225 Autopilot. Added Garmin GTX330 transponder.

New SHADIN fuel flow gauge for multi-engines.

New MP gauges and airspeed indicator with appropriate markings for the Baron 58TC with .

Minor FDE changes and performance tweaks and a classic blue repaint.

Updated sound files to be appropriate for constant speed props.

I am doing the last few tweaks to the mod. It will probably be ready sometime this weekend. Those of you already on the list will receive it as usual via email. For anyone not on the list, PM me an email address if you would like to give this a try.

RMI Addition to Baron 58

Sun, 12 Mar 2017 16:02:58 +0000

I really missed hand flying DME arcs and good old style RMI flying in this airplane, so I have incorporated a stock FSX Baron RMI gauge into the panel. For those who are old school like me, maybe you crave into this very simple mod. First I would like to thank our mentor Bert for sharing the ADF radio mod into the stack (though I like his radio better but don't have it)--not to mention the F1 GTN gauges. Before stating the mods I don't know if permission is needed from Carenado, or if there is any interest. The RMI looks a bit funky compared to the beautiful 3D gauges in the panel, but it does the job for me. The double green needle points to your NAV2 radio frequency VOR or LOC, and the tail of the arrow will always tell you in which radial you are, no matter whether you are flying to or from the station. This is useful to give position reports to non radar ATC areas along with a DME reading. The yellow needle points to the NDB frequency in the ADF Radio. The mod involves placing the useful digital Shadin fuel meter where the GEM6 gauge is above the backup attitude and directional gyros are, and the RMI in its place. This is what it looks like.

X-Plane 11 Narrow Trim Range Problem

Sat, 10 Apr 2021 09:47:27 +0000

I have a Precision Flight Controls brand trim wheel that works flawlessly with every other X-Plane 11 aircraft I own except the B58. The issue is that the aircraft trim is only moving a fractional amount, less than 2 degrees full up to full down. The trim moves over this reduced range proportionally in response to the trim wheel setting. Worth noting is that the trim works (travels through it's complete range) when using keyboard keys assigned to trim. I have altered various trim variables within Plane Maker to no avail.

Any help is greatly appreciated, even a "half" solution would be awesome as I'm $10K into my BE58 sim and nothing is going to plan...

Landing Light Brightness P3Dv5

Sat, 06 Feb 2021 17:17:03 +0000

Hello,

I’m just getting around to installing my Carenado products in v5 to start flying again.

I always knew taxi and landing lights were dim from experience in v4, but they seem to be much worse in v5. No shaders installed, dynamic lighting and ground illumination set to on. After several hours of trying to educate myself on fx files or dynamic lighting, which I have zero experience with, I haven’t gotten anywhere.

Carenado Baron B58 with P3D v5.1

Wed, 06 Jan 2021 03:27:07 +0000

Why is that the baron has a " SEE THROUGH" MIP when installed in P3D v5.1. How do I correct that ?

night lighting

Sun, 15 Nov 2020 11:27:22 +0000

Hi all, started to have issues with the panel night lighting. When I start the sim the lights are on but when I start the aircraft they go off so its hard to do any night flights. I have tried Shift L which works if the engines aren`t running and just L which switches all lights on except the panel. Everything else comes on but not the panel ights . Any ideas?

Audio panel fix

Mon, 20 Jul 2020 18:10:27 +0000

If you are using the Baron with its default audio panel, you may notice that Carenado did not model the COM1/2 "Receive All" button.

It lights up when pushing the Test button, but that is about it.

Responding to a user request, I have activated this button..

If interested, contact me via PM 🙂

Info needed to fly BE58TC mod

Fri, 24 Jan 2020 04:25:28 +0000

I recently installed Whamil77’s BE58TC mod. Does anyone have knowledge on how manifold pressure and RPM should be set for the different phases of flight in the BE 58TC model?

Carenado BE58 Fuel Selector Lighting

Mon, 20 Jan 2020 23:22:19 +0000

I’m returning to the Baron after a bit of a break and I’ve found an issue that I didn’t remember having before. At night, on a dark ramp, with panel and flood lights turned on, no light shines on the fuel Selector (I can’t see it at all). I’m using Prepar3D, vs 4.5. I’m sure it’s a gauge that Carenado missed lighting. Has anyone else had this issue?

Night Lighting for Com Audio selector

Wed, 01 Jan 2020 21:05:23 +0000

Hi, I wonder if anyone has the same problem, no night lighting for the Com Audio panel in the B58?

Com Audio selector not lit at night - supposed to be above the AP ?

ADF

Wed, 16 Mar 2011 01:46:46 +0000

I'd like to have an ADF in place of VOR2 to identify NDBs. Has anyone got any ideas about how that could be done ?Thanks,Jack.......but an RMI would be even better !Thanks again,Jack

Carenado B58 - VOR-2 Gauge

Wed, 02 Oct 2019 06:03:06 +0000

Does anyone know if the VOR-2 gauge can be switched out - I do not see any reference to it in the Panel.cfg?

Switch Click Sounds

Mon, 09 Sep 2019 19:32:23 +0000

I have been trying to figure out how to add the various switch click sounds for my P3Dv4 Baron B58 which Carenado never included in the B58 although they did in the C337.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to do this? Or know if there is a payware or freeware mod available?

Dual GTN650s in the Baron

Wed, 08 Apr 2015 00:00:48 +0000

If you own the FLight1 GTN650 gauge, you can install two of them in the Baron.

Use the "no 3d knobs" option.

Using the RXP "Plate" filler strip at the bottom:

What's that frame at the center of the windshield?

Wed, 20 Jan 2016 09:50:27 +0000

Hello Captains!

Could anyone clarify me on this issue? I've 'googled' it intensively but did not found any answer.

Is that a heater for the windshield?

Many thanks in advance and best regards :wink:

Carenado Baron B58 - no tire squealing sound

Mon, 04 Mar 2019 07:14:13 +0000

I have noticed that my recently acquired B58 for P3D v4.4 does not have any tire sound upon touchdown - I find that to be very strange not to have any sound at all.

Is this normal for this model?

If not normal is there anything that I can do to fix this?

Loud Backgound Noise with nothing started

Tue, 26 Mar 2019 02:08:53 +0000

Ever since installing my Carenado Baron B58 there has been a very loud background noise when the aircraft loads and nothing has been started. No other aircraft gives this problem and it does not matter at which airport I load the B58 to.

What in the world could be causing this and more important how to stop this annoying loud noise (almost sounds like a continual wind storm)?

Carenado B58 X-Plane 11 not working properly

Fri, 07 Dec 2018 15:12:55 +0000

I installed the Carenado B58 in x-Plane 11, everything loads up, however I can't hide the yoke even though the keyboard "y" is selected. I also noticed that the rotary switch for starting the enegines is not responding with my Saitek switch panel. The other switches work. Need help, tks

Baron 58TC 2.0

Tue, 04 Mar 2014 08:04:51 +0000

Hi All.

I'm currently working on version 2.0 of the 58TC mod. If I get the blessing from Guzel to use his baron mod, the new 2.0 wll have damage, wear and tear, and maintenance added.

What is planned for 2.0;

A new livery, some flight tweeking.

Re-worked engine sounds.

Damage Mod from Guzel adapted for the Carenado 58TC mod (A Mod Squad!)

The really cool damage mod will add:

- Engine-1 and Engine-2 wear and damage (with fire and sound effect)
- Engine Oil use, adding oil for each engine
- Propeller wear with sound effect for each propeller
- Flaps and Flaps Motor Wear and damage
- Landing Gear and Landing Gear Motor Wear/Damage with sound effect
- Wheel Brake Right and Wheel Brake Left Damage with sound effect
- Flight controls wear and Damage (Aileron,Elevator,Rudder) with sound effect
- If you make High G's, Elevator can be broken.
- AFCS (Automatic Flight Control System) Servos Wear and Damage with sound effect
- CowlFlaps-1 and CowlFlaps-2 damage
- Overspeed (if you fly faster than 235 knots you hear airframe stress sound effect)
- Pitot overheat (if you use pitot heat too long on ground)
- All Damage situations will be logged and saved. (If you leave the aircraft with damaged status, then you have the same damaged and weared status at next day)

I have a model in testing now. Say 30 days or so for release, pending OK from Guzel.

Setting Decision Height in Carenado BE58?

Sat, 17 Mar 2018 02:38:06 +0000

Is it possible to set a decision height in the Carenado Baron? I see the indicator in the artificial horizon but since there isn’t a radar altimeter, I assume it isn’t functional?

no crossed fuel in Arrow/V35 is this normal?

Wed, 14 Jun 2017 05:44:06 +0000

no crossed fuel in Arrow/V35 is this normal?

bothe these planes (and maybe the F33 make you select left tank or right tank. Crossed seems like a relatively easy fix for this .

Is this like the real planes? was crossfeed an option or standard in more recent models..I normally fly twins and only used my f33/arrow and v34 for short flights and never noticed..

Coranado Vs. Milviz

Sat, 19 May 2012 19:34:12 +0000

I know it's Coranado form .... so I hope nobody will get effended :)

..anyway, I was wondering if any of you guys had a chance to compare Milviz to Coranado ????

I see that Milviz got the Cessna 310R & the Baron 55
