853: Two BKSQ Analog Baron Gauges Released

| Tom Tsui

Developer Black Square has made over some analog gauges for MSFS aircraft using glass cockpit panels.  One of them is the widely flown Beechcraft B58.

MSFS_B58-BKSQ_ASI_GIFSActually I was not aware of it at all until a friend, Andrea, in Italy who asked me if I could make the FIP gauges for it about a month ago.  And he was so kind to sponsor me the aircraft for checking before I could confirm him if the project was feasible.

So here’s the Airspeed Indicator (ASI) and the Engine Pack tailor-made for the Black Square Analog Baron.

And in particular, as the Black Square Baron comes with both a standard and a pressurized version of the aircraft, corresponding FIP gauges Continue reading →

797: B58 RMI Update For MSFS

| Tom Tsui

The RMI for the G58 in B58-style setup has just been revised.  The major change from the original is the swapping of needle colors.MSFS_G58B_RMI_resize

It is based on feedbacks from users who reported that the ADF needle color is now green and VOR2 is yellow on the aircraft.

To avoid confusion, update is provided accordingly.  However, as features and functions of the new version are identical to the original one.  Users can choose to update the gauge or not. Continue reading →

743: Flying the G58 like a B58

| Tom Tsui

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:

Following the RMI update released last week, the ALT, ATT, HSI and VSI of the default B58 (not the Carenado version) in FSX/P3D have also been updated to version R4r04, allowing users to install them into MSFS environment as well.

| Tom Tsui

The RMI Gauge for the default B58 in FSX/P3D has been updated to version R4r04, which can be installed into MSFS environment.

Other than the new installation option, the changes is mainly cosmetic, making it slimmer.  Function-wise, it is the same.

Although the original version looks more closely to the one in the virtual cockpit on the default B58, the new version has better proportions as a whole, which looks prettier to my eyes.

Therefore, Continue reading →

532: XPL B58 HSI Now Works with VOR2

| Tom Tsui

Although both FSX/P3D and X-Plane 11 comes with the BeechCraft Baron 58, their cockpit instruments, operations and features are not exactly the same.  One of these differences is the ability to select different HSI sources in X-Plane, which the FSX/P3D B58, including the Carenada version, doesn’t have.

The selection feature has been added to the XPL B58 HSI Gauge, on which users can now choose from NAV1 (VOR1), NAV2 (VOR2) and GPS as needed for course deviation indications.  Following is a video showing how the HSI works when the selection source is changed.
