Baron g58 after SU3 - absurd stall speed

Flew the Baron g-58 for hundreds hours and before SU3 was a pretty decent plane.

After SU3, stall warning goes on at 94 KIAS with full flaps on. Very unrealistic indeed. The real plane stall warning comes up around 73-74 KIAS.

Also propeller RPM governor also become very unrealistic. Almost impossible to reduce it.

A pity to fly it in these conditions. Hope it will be fixed. Before SU3 was a pleasure to fly the Baron.

It has not been touched yet. :frowning:

You mean it flies like having a single engine performance in a twin aircraft. At cruise, 2300 rpm to/lean 23” man. you can’t do more than 140 KIAS. I have a feeling they copied the Bonanza straight over it. I hope we don’t have to wait for another 3 months for some sort of “fix” :tired_face:

Exactly. It’s like instead of two Continental 550 we got a Skyhawk engine

Rate of climb is totally unrealistic and acceleration on take off is pathetic

I used to have a decent cruise speed with few noise and good fuel consumption with 2100/21 but now it’s full throttle and propeller all the way. Very sad indeed. Let’s hope they will fix

BTW, did they manage to fix the wrong mounted propeller blades in msfs2024? I am still on 2020 and there this flaw stays untouched for ääähm …. from the start.

Good luck!

This has to be the case, I did some testing and it seems like this is what happened.

  1. The flaps used to be 10>20 and now they are 15>30.

  2. While flying with gear up I was able to hit 150 Knots at cruise. Then put the gear down and the speed dropped by about 3 knots. It doesn’t seem like the gear has much effect on the drag.

  3. While cruising on Autopilot, the Auto Trim sits around 4-5%. After SU3 it’s now 25-30%

So it seems very logical to me that the wrong profile is on the BeechCraft Baron.

Did someone toss this into the bug reporting section already? Otherwise it won’t be picked up.

I too love(d) flying the G58. After SU3 same stall speed warning issue, also power id way down. Very hard to fly!
