Get Black Square's Steam Gauge Overhaul add-ons for the default Baron and Bonanza in MSFS (DELUXE or PREMIUM DELUXE versions only) together in one package, providing a completely new interior, panel and systems for each aircraft, with analogue instrumentation, swappable radio configurations, failure system and an overhauled electrical system.

Radio navigation systems are available from several eras of both aircraft's history and other features include new in-game checklists, new custom sounds, full 3D cockpit lighting, improved flight dynamics and much more!

This Bundle includes all the content from the Steam Gauge Overhaul Analog Bonanza and Steam Gauge Overhaul Analog Baron add-ons.

Black Square’s Analog Baron and Bonanza add-ons bring you a completely new interior, panel and systems with the default MSFS exterior models, including added winglets (Baron) and tip tanks (Bonanza). This product contains both normally aspirated (B58), and pressurised (B58P) Baron models and normally aspirated (A36) and turbocharged (A36TC) versions of the Bonanza, with advanced reciprocating engine simulation, analogue instrumentation, swappable radio configurations and an overhauled electrical system with every circuit breaker, meter, switch and knob functioning.

Black Square’s failure system allows for persistent wear, MTBF and scheduled failures for nearly every component in the aircraft, many with multiple different failure modes. The fully 3D gauges are modelled and coded to meticulously match their real-world counterparts, with reference to real-world manuals. No piece of equipment appears in a Black Square aircraft without a real-world unit as reference.

Radio navigation systems are available from several eras of both aircraft's history, so users can fly without GPS via a Bendix KNS-81 RNAV system or with the convenience of a Garmin GTN 750 (PMS50 or TDS). Other radio equipment includes KX-155 NAV/COM radios, GNS 530, GNS 430, KR 87 ADF, KDI 572 DME, GTX 327 transponder, KFC 150 autopilot and a Bendix RDR1150XL colour weather radar.

Extensive manuals provide instruction on all equipment and numerous in-game checklists with control/instrument highlighting are included for normal and emergency procedures.

Primarily analogue instrumentation augmented with modern radio navigation equipment is still the most common aircraft panel configuration in the world. Challenge your piloting skills by flying IFR to minimums with a fully analogue panel and no GPS. You’ll be amazed at the level of skill and proficiency you can achieve to conquer such adversity and how it will translate to all your other flying. You also may find the analogue instrumentation much easier to read with the limited number of pixels available on a computer monitor, and even more so in VR.

NOTE: These products are INTERIOR AND SYSTEMS OVERHAULS ONLY that makes use of the default MSFS Baron and Bonanza exterior visual models and require the DELUXE or PREMIUM DELUXE version of MSFS to be installed (the Baron is NOT included in the Standard version of Microsoft Flight Simulator). Improvements have been made to almost all aspects of the aircraft, except the exterior. All default Baron and Bonanza liveries are compatible with this product.

For more information on this product’s capabilities and a list of all included avionics and equipment, see the details below and the extensive PDF Baron and Bonanza operating manuals.

Black Square’s overhauled cockpits with analogue instrumentation go far beyond a visual upgrade. Included, you will find a complete redesign of all aircraft systems to more closely match the real aircraft, with a focus on electrical systems. Also included are more accurate weight and balance, lighting systems, flight dynamics and ground handling. Enjoy features such as:

Reciprocating engine simulation with fouling, vapour lock, flooding and backfires
The most realistic turbocharger simulation in Microsoft Flight Simulator to date
Turbocharger-driven pressurisation and door seal system
Completely interactable electrical system with four buses and 85 circuits
Engine leaning optimisation 'Lean Find' on EDM-760 engine monitor, and status alarms
Engine limit excursions that decrease engine health and will eventually lead to failure
Selective state saving for radio selection, radio frequency memory, cabin aesthetics etc.
100+ system failures, set via in-cockpit interface. Either random, based on settable MTBF, or schedulable, with optional time acceleration.
Cabin environmental control system for heating, air conditioning, ventilation and ram air cooling. Cool things off by opening a window or watch the aircraft heat up in the sun.
Crew/passenger oxygen system that depletes according to pressure altitude, passenger occupancy and their weight.
Working carbon monoxide detector
Mathematically accurate VOR & ADF signal attenuation and noise, and remote compass gyro slaving
Working ice protection systems, optional winglets and tip tank transfer pumps

Checklists

Over 500 checklist items are provided for 40+ Normal, Abnormal, and Emergency procedures in textual form in the manual and in-game, using the MSFS native checklist system with control and instrument highlighting. If it’s in the checklist, it’s settable in the aircraft!

Sounds

Black Square’s Analog Baron features the default MSFS-native (Wwise) 3D G58 Baron sound package, with new custom sounds added for warnings, environmental control systems, electronics, turbocharger, engine cooling and more. The default sounds have been carefully assigned to all interactable cockpit elements for an authentic 3D spatial experience.

Rich audio for every switch, button, lever and electrical system
Detailed physics-based effects on engine and wind noise
Accurately positioned 3D sound sources (best enjoyed in VR!)

Model

Accurately modelled B58 and B58P Baron interior ONLY (uses default exterior model), created from hundreds of reference photos and technical documentation
100% MSFS native animation code for the smoothest animations and cockpit interactions using either legacy or new cockpit interaction modes
PBR (Physically Based Rendering) materials with real-time environment reflections for superb quality and realism, and vector-graphic-like decal quality
Detailed normal mapping for leather, fabric, plastic, stitches, scratches, carpet and tooling marks, resulting in a texture resolution of 10,000 pixels per square inch (90.0kB)

Cockpit

Greatly enhanced instrument panel detail compared to default aircraft, with every label and marking in its place. If it appears in the real aircraft, you can interact with it!
Custom-coded steam gauges with low-pass filtering, needle bounce and physics provide ultra-realistic and silky smooth animations like you’ve never seen before.
Carefully modelled components match the depth and character of the real instrumentation, based on reference photos, schematics and real-world measurements. Unlike other expensive Flight Sim aircraft, every piece of equipment that appears in a Black Square aircraft is modelled after a real piece of aircraft equipment and will behave the same way in its primary functionality.
Every knob, switch and button is interactable and implemented, along with its respective electrical circuitry. Turn systems on and off or pull circuit breakers to see the impact it has on your generators and battery via the analogue meters. Automatic standby generators and standby gyros are also simulated. Many pieces of equipment respond correctly to electrical configurations with warning messages and diagnostic codes.
Fully 3D cockpit lighting technology for every gauge and panel, with ambient bounce lighting for a more immersive night-time experience that won’t leave you fumbling around in unrealistically dark spots
4096x4096 (4K) PBR textures on cockpit and panel for crisp instrumentation. Even see the fingerprints on instrument glass!
Hideable yokes, adjustable sun visors and other cockpit aesthetics

Flight Dynamics

The Analog Baron features an improved flight model compared to the default Baron, with tweaks based on operator feedback and real flight data. Drag varies with cowl flap setting and air conditioning condenser scoop position. Engine damage and fouling produces a rough running engine and decreased performance.

These steam gauge overhauls by Black Square are top notch add-ons. They take the bland, boring default Baron and Bonanza and turn them both into something fantastic and they're both now really fun to fly. The 3D steam gauge modeling and texture work looks awesome, very well done, as is the entire instrument panel, it really looks great. Many other aircraft systems are modeled too, that are not modeled in the default MSFS versions, even engine wear and tear is modeled, you can break the engines if you do not manage them properly. The flight model has also been improved over the default which really helps make them more fun and a bit more challanging to fly. I mostly prefer using other sims but add-ons like this make me actually want to use MSFS sometimes. While I do like flying planes with glass cockpits once in a while, it gets boring flying every plane with G1000's all the time. I prefer steam gauges any day, they give the aircraft much more personality and it's fun to learn how to read all the different gauges. Definitely 5/5 stars, not a single thing wrong that I can find. Note: I happened to purchase this package elseware (but I buy lots of add-ons from this site too).
