FSX Beechcraft Baron G58 N6039U

Enhance your virtual hangar with a carefully crafted repaint of the twin-piston Beechcraft Baron G58, featuring the actual markings of N6039U. This texture package offers precise visual fidelity and is exclusively designed for the Deluxe edition’s G1000-equipped Baron included in Microsoft Flight Simulator X. Created by Zane Gard, Jr., with special thanks to William Ortis, this repaint honors the real-world aircraft’s registration and exterior details. Please note that it requires the default Baron base model, which can be found in the Fly Away Simulation library.

Technical Details of the N6039U Repaint

This variant depicts a real-world N6039U livery applied onto the stock Baron 58 framework. The Baron G58’s lineage traces back to the Beechcraft Bonanza series, leveraging dual Continental piston powerplants for robust performance. In this rendition, you will see a smooth exterior rendition with DDS-format textures that function optimally within FSX’s SimObjects structure. This approach helps preserve clarity and coloring under the simulator’s native rendering engine.

G1000 Integration

Because the Deluxe edition of FSX includes a Garmin G1000 panel in the default Baron 58, this repaint synchronizes perfectly with that instrumentation suite. A G1000 (Glass Cockpit) setup provides advanced situational awareness. The distributed texture files reference the panel and model entries for the G58 configuration, ensuring all avionics elements remain consistent with the real-world inspiration’s look.

Installing the N6039U Livery

1. Place the N6039U folder into your SimObjects/Airplanes/Beech_Baron_58 directory inside FSX.
2. Open the aircraft.cfg file (use a plain text editor such as Notepad).
3. Copy the following segment and paste it at the end of the existing “[fltsim.x]” entries:

[fltsim.9] <--CHANGE THIS NUMBER TO THE NEXT ONE IN LINE

description="With the wonderful control harmony that is the hallmark of the Bonanza line, the Beech Baron 58 is considered a classic light twin. The Baron 58 is the spiffed-up version of a time-tested favorite, made more modern by its new Continental Special engines. The Baron combines the attractiveness of Beechcraft design with the reliability of twin engines, resulting in a gorgeous workhorse of an aircraft."

Adjust the “[fltsim.9]” bracket label by incrementing it to match your existing entry numbers. Then save the file and close.

Final Steps

When you boot Microsoft Flight Simulator X, locate this Baron variant in the aircraft selection menu. With the repaint installed, you can optionally disable the Show N-Numbers feature through the details panel, which prevents overlaying any additional tail registration. After these steps, you’re ready to experience an authentic recreation of the real N6039U whenever you load into your twin-engine flights.

This repaint by Zane Gard, Jr. brings the actual color scheme of Beechcraft Baron G58 N6039U into FSX for enthusiasts who appreciate real-world authenticity. Remember that the base model is not included, so ensure you have the official default Baron already in place before installing these textures. Enjoy your flights!
