January 3, 20179 yr My Baron should land at my home field in 3 days. Hi Sascha, how went your install? I hope you have instant fun with the plane. I also decided to purchase the DF Baron, and - almost as awaited - the RXP gauges don't work under Win7. I will thus have to rework the panel as I did with the Bonanza.

January 4, 20179 yr Author My new toy arrived only yesterday. I installed right away - a double click and hitting next a few times, perfectly smooth. I just started my first flight and everything seems fine. Even the Reality XP suite works now which it didn't for the Bonanza (checked and Bonanza Reality XP also works now) so I'm very happy! Especially as I still have a few days off. Sascha Rieger | EVO Developer What is EVO • How to get Evo 2016 • FS9 Evolution Forum
January 4, 20179 yr Nice pic! An old classic that I used to love when I was using FS9 I own the FSX version of it (their Dakota is excellent too) but alas I'm on Win 7 64 bit and the locked RXP gauges don't work.

January 4, 20179 yr After some tests, I had no luck with the RXP gauges. So I had to make my own panel arrangement, made with freeware gauges: Harald Geyer Gründer der Messerschmitt Freunde Dresden v. V.

January 4, 20179 yr Thanks. If anybody is interested, I can specify the source files and provide my panel.cfg. Harald Geyer Gründer der Messerschmitt Freunde Dresden v. V.
January 5, 20179 yr This thread inspired me to load the DF Baron on my newer sim computer, which is on Windows 7-64 bit. All the gauges seem to work for me. I had to swap out the locked in RXP GNS 530 with the RXP GNS 530 WAAS, and replace the corresponding transponder and audiopanel from the WAAS GNS gauge cabinet but that was about it. I am running FS9 from the "Program Files (x86) folder" so perhaps that is the explanation why the gauges all appear to be functional on my set up. It would appear from this post on another forum that the gauges in the lite version on the baron don't work with Windows 7. Greg
January 5, 20179 yr It would appear from this post on another forum that the gauges in the lite version on the baron don't work with Windows 7. Greg Well, the Lite version works just fine for me. There shouldn't be any problems as the Lite version doesn't have the RXP and Garmin Trainer stuff. Dijvid
February 23, 20179 yr I'm very happy! Sascha, sorry for warming up this old threat. Just a question: How does the Baron fly for you? Background of my question is that I can't enjoy it as much as the Bonanza. I have massive problems to keep it flying beyond stall speed when cruising for instance at FL160 (which FSC suggests as cruising level). I have to let the engines run at 2.400 rpm for this purpose. As side effect, the used freeware gauges (see panel above) have their glitches... Harald Geyer Gründer der Messerschmitt Freunde Dresden v. V.
February 23, 20179 yr Author Hmmm, I'll check. Although I have to say I didn't notice that, semed to me to be pretty much on the numbers. Should be around 60% power at that altitude I believe Sascha Rieger | EVO Developer What is EVO • How to get Evo 2016 • FS9 Evolution Forum
February 23, 20179 yr Maybe I'm doing something wrong. But while the Bonanza came with a batch of charts with power settings and a the fitting cruising speeds, the Baron didn't. I quickly realized that my preferred power setting with the Bonanza - 21" MAP with 2,100 rpm at 10,000 ft - didn't work at all with the Baron, this plane will lose speed as soon as I adjust rpm at a level below ~ 2,400-2,350. But this is a much too high value for cruising in my opinion. Thanks for having a look! P.S. Some impressions from a nevertheless nice journey with the baron here.
