However, the FAA thinks otherwise as to 1757G...

MFR (Manufacture Year) is 1962, which would put it specifically into A55 territory with a gross weight difference and the distinction of being an "early series" Baron 55.

My ultimate point though is that I am trying to determine what specific Baron 55 Milviz is creating. The straight 55 (year 1961) model, or later?
There is a decade of disparity between liveries, and enough of a difference between Baron 55 variations that the differences do come into play.

In any case, even if it is a less-than-realistic "generic" B55, I'm looking forward to it! It looks great!

Keep in mind that lots of things get changed by owners over the years. For example, the Baron 55 I flew (N266G) was heavily modified with new avionics and 300hp a side IO-550 engines. The owners over the years even had the dual yoke installed. They even threw is a paint job that looked like a much later developed Baron 58! The options of multiple STC's for in-the-field upgrades means the concept of a "realistic" Baron 55 pretty much comes down to the eyes of the beholder!

Cheers,

Ken

Please Milviz, make the pilot removable as a/c is parked.It adds a lot to the realism, althrough it is pretty simple to do it.I hate aircraft that don't have that feature,... when you turn everything off after the flight ( or before) and crew stays in the cockpit like dummies...

So who is doing the FDE for this aircraft? SInce it is a multi-engine ship, I can only think of one or two FS FDE gurus who are capable of TRULY replicating the dynamics of a twin...
