I just recently bought MSCarenado Beechcraft D18s Twin Beech at the Marketplace within MSFS.
I am not able to find the usual Documentation folder with the manual an so on.
Can anybody help me where to find it ?
For some reason, one wasnât provided for this plane, when Carenado was asked they stated support for this plane is with Asobo.
I assume it has something to do with Carenado not releasing this plane themselves, but rather they made this one for Asobo.
The real manual can be found here.

Thank you for the real manual. The only thing I need now is the real aircraft !! lol
I will try to contact Asobo even though it is a strange and bad way to publish an expected manual
I had to âwing itâ with this aircraft, but this a helps a bit.

The official thread over in General has a lot of info about the plane and flying it if you wanna trawl through it

I imagine it comes down to no other Asobo planes having documentation so even though this was made by Carenado, it was made for Asobo so it towed the same line.
Eh, the other Local Legends that are also planes developed by third parties commissioned by Microsoft have manuals
(ctrl f-5 a few times or whatever your browserâs command is for refreshing cache to show the S.55 manual)
Carenado are just pretty lazy when it comes to documentation and youâre lucky if you get a PDF with some basic procedures or a chart or two but quite often you get absolutely nothing from them. Theyâve been like that since FSX at the least.
Short film in this link that shows the entire procedure.

With the exception of the WYMF5 all other Carenado planes for MSFS come with full documentation (available on their website).
Not sure why the WYMF5 was different, it comes with documentation just not as complete as the other 7 releases.
Itâs also interesting they donât even mention the D18 on their website, like they made it for Asobo and then distanced themselves from it.
I have a few of their planes for MSFS and older sims and I wouldnât say any of their documentation was âfullâ. Itâs mostly just some checklists literally scanned from a real POH and a chart or two if youâre lucky also scanned from the POH. And like most checklists taken verbatim from a real source you canât even perform most of the checks in the sim anyway. I guess sometimes theyâll also provide a PDF with basic instructions on how to operate an autopilot or something if they differ from the stock stuff.
I donât think itâs that odd they donât put the planes theyâve developed for Microsoft on their own website. Theyâre basically acting as contractors doing the work for Microsoft who release it under their label wheras the Carenado website is for stuff they release under their own label.

If you have the D18 on FSX then you can use that documentation. I scoured MSFS and it just ainât there!
Can anyone tell me how to open the cabin door? Is there a click spot?
I need help with the AP setting Altitude, V/S and NAV (Garmin 530).
If you want a much more realistic version of this plane, you should give my mod a go.
