Current state of the Deluxe and Premium Deluxe aircraft?

I would show caution, it’s not possible to properly mod the deluxe and premium aircraft due to DRM, so you won’t get the level of refinement to these aircraft as is shown by Flybywire and other folks to the
A320, Beechcraft Bonanza, etc.

The steam gauge C172 is great fun WHEN combined with the GNS530 mod here: GNS530 mod

I do not enjoy flying the Baron unfortunately. Once I flew the two modded Bonanzas (turbo and normal) flying the Baron was incredibly boring due to its broken mixture (it’s only either on or off) and inability to mod the G1000 in it.

If you have the cash to blow, then you might like it. Some of the airports are great, like Denver.
