I don't remember where or when but i once dowloaded this information about tuning the Beech Baron 58.

Any (real world) pilots who find this aircraft.cfg settings more realistic ?

This is an update for the beech_baron_58 Aircraft.cfg flight tuning section.

The values in the flight tuning of all FSX aircraft are defaulted to 1.0

This update to the Beech Baron allows for better accuracy in the handling of the aircraft and is more realistic to that of the real Beech Baron.

 

NOTE: You will have to cut the aircraft.cfg to your desktop make the changes then save and then cut and paste the aircraft.cfg back into the aircraft folder this is the only way you can make changes to the .CFG files in FSX that I know of.

Installation: First make a backup of your beech baron aircraft.cfg in case you want to change it back. then under the [flight tuning] section of your aircraft.cfg you can do one of two things you can copy the numbers in there correct place or you can delete the whole flight tuning section and then copy and paste the new one. That's it go start FSX.

pitch_stability=3.0

roll_stability=1.23

yaw_stability=2.0

elevator_trim_effectiveness=2.00

aileron_trim_effectiveness=1.2

rudder_trim_effectiveness=0.8

Hi

 

This works very well on the default FSX Baron which I thought was unrealistic in pitch when in cruise. Small pitch changes were exaggerated.   Nearer to real world flying IMHO after the fix applied (I only have single RW time).  Makes the default Baron a joy to fly.   

 

Good work by tcfoster who made the fix who also suggests cfg changes for the default Kingair (which I have not tested).  Section below copied from tcfosters text file:
