Thanks for the HU. Awaiting some reviews maybe concerning FDE and "uniqueness", if you know what I mean. The magic "Real behavior compared to the real airplane" is present in the Baron's description too but we don't buy descriptions, do we? Ah, negative bias of mine, sorry for that. The happiness when reading about a policy change which actually took place will be unlimited though and I'm sure that this one is an enjoyable FSX addon. :smile:The modelling looks very nice.

The Carenado site states:Technical Requirements:Windows XP with SP3 installed, Vista or 7 (32 or 64 bits)...looks like all 3 OS platforms to me...

I have high hopes for this airplane. I'll get my copy tonight.

Speaking of Geof - where the heck has he been? Haven't seem him post in months!

I love my Carenado's so I know I'm buying.

I think he's been traveling for work a lot. I keep up with him on Facebook, and he's been posting a lot of shots from his touring (he's a musician). If you're a Facebooker, you can find his profile here: http://www.facebook.com/#!/profile.php?id=1110409580

Where did you read that Rick (could you provide the link please)?I could only find this from the product page at http://www.carenado....duct&correl=57?Technical Requirements:Windows Vista or 7 (32 or 64 bits)Microsoft Flight Simulator FSX with SP1 and SP2 (or Acceleration Pack) installed.Pentium V/2GHz or similar – 2GB RAM – 512MB graphics card.260MB available hard disk space. EDIT: IGNORE THE ABOVE. I just went back to the website, exited out of the product page and went back into the Baron product page and it now says:Technical Requirements:Windows XP with SP3 installed, Vista or 7 (32 or 64 bits)Microsoft Flight Simulator FSX with SP1 and SP2 (or Acceleration Pack) installed.Pentium V/2GHz or similar – 2GB RAM – 512MB graphics card.260MB available hard disk space. So it looks like Carenado maybe edited the webpage and updated the Technical requirements to include Windows XP with SP3.

I've also asked the question to Carenado and they've answered me that they will correct the page. Windows XP with SP3 has been added later for your information. It wasn't there at first.Here is the answer from Carenado."It works with Windows XP with Service Pack 3 installed.We already updated the product’s page."Carenado

I will be getting it. I am surprised though that they chose the late model 58 to do. A considerable improvement over the default Baron in FSX no doubt but why not go where no developer has gone before and model the early version with the throw over yoke? Or better yet use the existing fuselage 3d modeling they have in house for the Bonanza and do the model 55? I personally know several pilots and simmers that have been waiting a decade or more for someone to recreate the model 55 for the sim!

google is your friend...0.1 sec search Wikipedia: Die Baron 55 (kurzer Rumpf) und die Baron 58 (langer Rumpf). Derzeit wird ausschließlich die Baron 58 gebaut.
