Beechcraft B-58 Baron Altimeter Kollsman knob reversed

I noticed today that the kollsman setting knob on the air manager premium panel for the Beechcraft B-58 Baron is reversed, clockwise decreases the setting, counterclockwise increases it, which is opposite of normal. I checked the direction of rotation with both a knobster, and using the touch panel ...

Re: Xbox MSFS 2020

I just wanted to close the loop. I have used the Xbox version of MSFS today, and it is really, really good running the base simulator (much better than when I tried to run it with bootcamp iMac.) Flight control hardware such as yokes needs to have an xbox security chip, so needless to say good contr...

Re: X-Plane11 GNS430/530 on 2nd Laptop

I currently have an iMac, so I am in sort of the same boat, as macOS does not support touchscreens. Right now I have resigned myself to using a second cheap windows nuc size box to run a touch screen with air manager. Unfortunately, like you above I can’t really use any “popout” displays with air ma...

Re: Beechcraft Baron 58 Altimeter bug

No Problem, hopefully it will be look at and fixed in due time.

I hope the youtube videos of both the x-plane and sim innovations altimeter behavior will help describe the bug, as it isn't obvious at first glance until you try to fly hard ifr and discover the confusing instrument readings.

Re: Beechcraft Baron 58 Altimeter bug

I was able to attempt to see if this issue was fixed yet, but it appears to still be broken. I started a support ticket as this has been about a month since I first posted about the bug. Here is what I wrote. I can try to take a video and upload it to you tube if that will help highlight the problem...

Re: Beechcraft Baron 58 Altimeter bug

Looking at the in-game altimeter, it looks like the number actually changes about 50' before you get to the hard altitude. I believe this is the behavior in the real instrument as well, but I haven't actually flown with this altimeter before. Basically, if climbing, the shows 5900, then the 000 in t...

Beechcraft Baron 58 Altimeter bug

I was trying IFR magazine's sim challenge today, and discovered a small bug/unexpected behavior with the Beechcraft Barron 58 altimeter. When climbing or descending, I sometimes get the altimeter reading 1000' off. This does not occur with the 3d panel in xplane 11. Looking at both the air manager p...

Xbox MSFS 2020

I just wanted to check on something now that it’s official the MSFS will release the end of July on the Xbox series controllers. Currently, air manager requires a helper app or plugin to interface with the pc version, right? (I use X-Plane on a Mac, so not sure about the pc side). If so, I assume co...
