This works for me

Thanks for the swift help. I’ll give that a go but I’m still confused as to why you would need to have a Custom Axis Configuration in the turbocharged model but a standard mixture axis will suffice in the non-turbo model. The non-turbo model evidently doesn’t require mapping to the LVAR.
That works. Thanks a lot.
mark that as the solution in case somebody else needs it …please

It seems like there is a bug with outside pressure conditions. On ground with engines off and pressure above 30.00 inHg it is sensed as too high manifold pressure which continously decreases engine health.
Just FYI, only the OP of the whole topic has the ability to mark a post as “Solution”.
In case any of the above starting methods haven’t worked (and apologies if this procedure has been mentioned) but I have 100% success rate starting each engine this way:
Battery: On
Cowl Flaps: Closed
Mixture: Rich
Fuel Pump: Boost
Throttle: Cycle full twice, leave cracked
Starter: Hold until engine starts.
Do the mixture controls do anything in the BS Baron? I don’t see any changes in fuel flow or EGT when I raise or lower them.
Of course they do. Flip the switch in the EDM-760 to “EGT”, then cycle with the step button on the bottom left and it will show you your EGT values.
In fact, you’ll find that the values are extremely sensitive to your mixture setting, it’s pretty fun to watch.

Thanks. I was looking at the analog EGT. It does eventually change as I approach cut-off. I’ll play with it some more and check out the EDM. It’s a great plane!

This is how I set up for 20 degrees LOP

The analogue EGT has a substantial lag. This is likely realistic. You need to adjust mixture slowly in increments if you are relying on the analogue gauge.

Does anyone what simvar controls the altitude adjuster VS push/pull knob?
This was in a different group
LVAR:VAR_VSADJUSTMODE
1 is vertical speed mode, 0 is altitude mode.

You, sir, have saved my life today - thank you! I was pulling my hair out, but this works wonderfully with the Bravo left/right encoder knobs now.
Let me ask you - how do you find these, other than asking the developer?

I just happened to have read this in [RELEASED] Black Square TBM 850 today. Got lucky!

I’ve spend about eight hours over the past two days in Spad.next building custom bindings for my Alpha, Bravo and Knobster units, completely from scratch to best support my VR cockpit.
Built in a lot of extra functionality with LONG presses vs short presses of buttons, combination keys and conditional logic. My in-sim profiles for the Alpha and Bravo are completely empty except for the camera quickviews mapped to the hat switch on the Alpha. I couldn’t find those anywhere.
There’s A LOT of trial and error in this process. Sometimes there are _ON and _OFF actions and sometimes just a toggle and often, there are many possible variables but you never know which are the right ones, so you have to go through them all to find the one that works in that plane.
Just finished a IFR flight from cold and dark at the departure airport to parking at the destination airport and didn’t touch the mouse at all after loading up my flight plan in the TDS GTNxi (which requires use of the touchscreen).
Right now, the Baron is my favorite - I’m invested!

Are there future plans of the developers making their Black Square Baron even more enhanced, bringing it to the ultra-sophisticated level of the newest Black Square TBM?
I would absolutely love to open the bonnet (or hood, or engine cover, or maintenance latch, or whatever that is called on an airplane…) to see the engine and the turbo charger inside just like the FlySimware Cessna Chancellor can do.
And maybe being able to extend the tray table in the back of the cabin, and move the seat backrests back and forth a little bit (a bit of playing around in the cabin makes an airplane truly coming alive!)
Oh and what should be definitely changed is the cabin being fully dark at night and the floodlight just illuminating a small area of the seats, when the flood lights back in the cabin are on such a small cabin should be fully illuminated at least a little bit. (Not just a directed spotlight on a small area and the rest of the cabin being full black at night.)
He would have to start everything from scratch hence the current exterior model is based/tied/limited to Asobo’s. That’s why the simplest things like opening doors is not available in the current version.

Hm no doors - I can live with that.
Who needs (and wants) to go out anyway? Throw me food and computer hardware parts through the windows and I will never go outside again but I will sit and die in front of my computer (where I belong)! 
But what is harder to cope are some blurry details of the instruments. Some details and gauges need some fine texture enhancements, and I found a really good AI to help me with that where even Photoshop fails (Bicubec and other enlargement methods when enhancing the pixel density per square inch.)
Before (default texture)
After (AI enhancements and pixel per square inch density enlargement in Photoshop)
Lovely, I am going to overhaul the whole cockpit and all the gauges of the Bonanza, Baron and TBM850 with this method.
And I urgently need of some good 100 megapixel cockpit and exterior shots of the Bonanza and the Baron for my texture overhauls
Does anyone knows a few websites with nice Beechcraft fleet presentation?
And finished!
All gauges (which have the Beechcraft logo on real cockpit photos) now have a Beechcraft logo. Plus new high definition lettering, the best GA aircraft ever made deserves this treatment.
I have noticed that not only the cockpit floodlight illumination but also the integral backlight is dimmed when one of the engine starters is engaged.
This aircraft now has so much depth and realism it´s absolute wonderful. Pure perfection.
