743: Flying the G58 like a B58

To friends (including me) who have an FIP-based virtual cockpit setup might have missed the Beechcraft Baron a lot, as the aircraft have been “upgraded” from analog gauges (B58) in FSX/P3D to G1000 panels (G58) in MSFS.

No more.  Following the recent updates that allow many of my B58 Gauges to be used in MSFS, the B58 Engine Clusters have been converted to cope with the spec of the G58 in MSFS as well.

In other words, we can now fly the G58 in MSFS like a B58 with the analog instruments on the FIPs as shown below:

Gauges involved are:

From MSFS:

  • ASI and Engine Clusters from G58, and TCR from Multi-shared;
  • The replacement of the B58 TCR with the Multi-shared TCR is necessary as the operation of the B58 TCR doesn’t match with the spec of the G58.

From default B58 in FSX/P3D:

  • ALT, ATT, HSI, VSI, RMI from B58 Series in FSX/P3D.
  • Except the RMI, the default B58 gauges can be replaced by similar MSFS gauges.

There’s a special offer to existing B58 Bundle and Engine Clusters users. In addition, there’s a time-limited discount for new users wanting to fly the G58 like a B58 too.

If you are Carenado B58 Bundle users and are interested in this upgrade, please contact me.

A similar approach is being planned to convert the A36 gauges in FSX/P3D for the G36 in MSFS in near future.
