I can't wait to get my hands on this. The current Baron in MSFS is my absolute favourite plane to fly (alongside the King Air. Fly them both pretty much exclusively), and while the glass cockpits are really nice, I do love the look of classic gauges. It's absolutely beautiful. Love it.
BlackSquare are banging it out the park atm, awesome review and seems another hit, Just got the KingAir version so far, may get the Caravan next but atm don't have the base Baron. Gotta love these twins though!
The Baron looks awesome. Don't forget props full forward on final, just in case of a go around. As a rule of thumb I generally go full rich for landing if field is below 3,000 ft.
We have some very good twins out there like the Coranado ones. The big issue for me is can you simulate an engine failure in flight and feather and un feather the propellers and simulate single engine flight.
Yes, yes, and yes. The failure simulation and physics in this are study level. You are going to get all of the cooling, oil, fuel, and electrical system side-effects of running on one engine. You may also get carbon monoxide issues in the cockpit to deal with :)
Great review. Wonderful product. Only trouble I had was maintaining a comfortable cabin temperature. Good thing I was alone flying. :) Only thing I noticed was that above transition altitude, the autopilot was not maintaining the set altitude.
Another must have Jon ! Looks great, thx for sharing :) I think you're entitled for a discount, if you've bought other Black Square Analog aircraft versions
This looks so good, I regret not having deluxe MSFS. The Blackbird 310 is great but I like the idea of a turbo with radar and FIKI (I'm guessing it has that).
I’m a bit addicted to the 310 these days, so when I’ve grown bored of that (eventually) I’ll try this. Ironic really as I initially got the 310 to replace the standard Baron.
I wish this was more like the Baron that I’m flying at my school. The cockpit is completely different. And when will MSFS or XP12 get a decent G5 simulation that I can replace any attitude indicator or HSI with?
@@jonbeckett There is a default G5 I think that is pretty horrible. It’s on select few aircraft. I wan’t something a little more high fidelity, that links properly to the GPS navigators also. IRL the G5 is supposed to be able to command a Garmin autopilot all by itself.
@@jonbeckett Yes it does! I guess I'm being a bit picky - I love my Boris Audio Works soundset for the c172s so much I wish he'd make some for other stock planes. It's an amazing difference to me at least.
I seem to remember that the spinning wheel below and center of the manifold pressure gages is an engine synchronizer, when eng's are sync'd the wheel would appear to be stopped. Is this not working on this Baron?
Another great review and first look, loved the one for the Bonanza! I have been waiting for this one as the Baron is one of my favorite planes besides the Cessna 310. Jonathan, if you don't mind me asking, what map overlay are you using in your LNM?
Hey John, if you have any experience, how would you compare this to the version found in X-plane 12, specifically in how they fly? Its the aircraft i fly the most there, and when im on MSFS as of late, I'm flying the justflight arrow, would like to get a hold of the beautiful baron again.
Unfortunately as I am using the MSFS only through the Gamepass this new masterpiece will not make it into my hangar, but I am sure it's just as good and just as much fun to fly as the Bonanza.
It's very, very similar - although it has things the Bonanza doesn't have - like a heating system in the nose that burns fuel and can poison the cabin with carbon monoxide if it goes wrong :) Oh - and it has two engines of course :)
I wish it was on the market place for Xbox I wonder why they don't put black square aircraft in the market place they would get more money if the put it on xbox
Buggy like hell. Engines won't start and if you somehow manage to start them (not through magnetos though) they won't turn off. Waste of money. Caravan and King Air were decent though.
I can't wait to get my hands on this. The current Baron in MSFS is my absolute favourite plane to fly (alongside the King Air. Fly them both pretty much exclusively), and while the glass cockpits are really nice, I do love the look of classic gauges. It's absolutely beautiful. Love it.
It's always been a favourite of mine too. Good luck!
I have A Baron 58 for X plane 12 with similar cockpit from Sim coders, Its fantastic!
BlackSquare are banging it out the park atm, awesome review and seems another hit, Just got the KingAir version so far, may get the Caravan next but atm don't have the base Baron. Gotta love these twins though!
They really are. This has been in development for a *very* long time though.
Great first look. Thank you.
You're welcome :)
Beautiful plane! Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
@6:35 (upper L corner) Patty Wagstaff working on those ground-effect aerobatic moves ....
Lolllll. Nice.
The Baron looks awesome. Don't forget props full forward on final, just in case of a go around. As a rule of thumb I generally go full rich for landing if field is below 3,000 ft.
Yeah - I completely forgot! (saturation of new toys does funny things lol)
Plan on trying the baron addon out after work this evening. Thanks for the video.
Have fun!
All tapped out I am just baught a load of things for me sim, but but watching study level content from this guy never gets boring
Thanks again for another great video. Wonderful plane! You have done them Justice.
Many thanks!
Beautiful plane. Your mention of turbulance is spot on. Its as close to the real thing yet!!
That pocket on approach was nasty - and made me smile :)

Interesting observation about altitude - I'll do a proper longer flight with it later to see how it goes.
Badass looking @7:00
Another must have Jon ! Looks great, thx for sharing :) I think you're entitled for a discount, if you've bought other Black Square Analog aircraft versions
I saw that afterwards :)
@@jonbeckett It was a well hidden code, I had to lodge a support ticket, as I was unable to find it :)
I’m on the fence between this one and 414 as my first GA Payware.. they both look so good.
They are both great
The 414 is amazing. I also love the Kodiak.
It is a great little plane!
It really is.
This looks so good, I regret not having deluxe MSFS. The Blackbird 310 is great but I like the idea of a turbo with radar and FIKI (I'm guessing it has that).
I'm pretty sure the Black Square Baron doesn't require the stock Baron to be there. It will be worth checking that.
@@jonbeckett It does.
@@captaincurle4529 That's a shame.
@@jonbeckett Yes it does I'm afraid. No way round that either, sorry. Same applies for all of BS Analog update aircraft.
I’m a bit addicted to the 310 these days, so when I’ve grown bored of that (eventually) I’ll try this. Ironic really as I initially got the 310 to replace the standard Baron.
It's great fun
Thanks for another great video! Do you have any familiarity with the EDM 800? I’m trying to learn more about engine management with that instrument
It's on my list to do some study / release a video about.
I wish this was more like the Baron that I’m flying at my school. The cockpit is completely different. And when will MSFS or XP12 get a decent G5 simulation that I can replace any attitude indicator or HSI with?
Some of the aircraft have the G5 don't they ? Have I imagined it ??
@@jonbeckett There is a default G5 I think that is pretty horrible. It’s on select few aircraft. I wan’t something a little more high fidelity, that links properly to the GPS navigators also. IRL the G5 is supposed to be able to command a Garmin autopilot all by itself.
XP12: X-Aviation has a good G5 simulation
@@RobKohinoor I will have to check that out.
Now we need some good sound packs for these planes.
It sounds pretty good already.
@@jonbeckett Yes it does! I guess I'm being a bit picky - I love my Boris Audio Works soundset for the c172s so much I wish he'd make some for other stock planes. It's an amazing difference to me at least.

It works perfectly
Another great review and first look, loved the one for the Bonanza! I have been waiting for this one as the Baron is one of my favorite planes besides the Cessna 310. Jonathan, if you don't mind me asking, what map overlay are you using in your LNM?
It's Google terrain.
Hey John, if you have any experience, how would you compare this to the version found in X-plane 12, specifically in how they fly? Its the aircraft i fly the most there, and when im on MSFS as of late, I'm flying the justflight arrow, would like to get a hold of the beautiful baron again.
This is what a sim plane should be..obviously someone can do it! But what is it with the door thing?
Why do people need working doors in a simulator ? Next people will be complaining the seats don't squish when you sit on them :)
Oh no… more money I won’t have 😅
I thought the same when I spotted it this morning :)
i would like to buy between (just flight PA28 or Baron) ?? i need advice for real aircraft performance.
You would have to ask a real Baron pilot :)
Unfortunately as I am using the MSFS only through the Gamepass this new masterpiece will not make it into my hangar, but I am sure it's just as good and just as much fun to fly as the Bonanza.
It's just a heavier bonanza with a heater in the nose :)
Where is the setting for realistic turbulence? All I see is one setting for weather realism.
IRC it's in the assistance > piloting menu rather than weather.
@@I_Evo Got it - thanks!
would you recommend this over their bonanza version??
It's very, very similar - although it has things the Bonanza doesn't have - like a heating system in the nose that burns fuel and can poison the cabin with carbon monoxide if it goes wrong :) Oh - and it has two engines of course :)
@@jonbeckett I will save up for the baron and continue to use the G36 improvement mod for the other.
FINALLY
Is this available for Xbox yet?
Sorry, but no.
Don’t ask forcall hot pilot air! Yikes!😮😅
you need track ir or something
I do :)
On Xbox?
I wish it was on the market place for Xbox I wonder why they don't put black square aircraft in the market place they would get more money if the put it on xbox
They might not be compatible.
Buggy like hell. Engines won't start and if you somehow manage to start them (not through magnetos though) they won't turn off. Waste of money. Caravan and King Air were decent though.
Please come out on xbox
Soon!
