In this video, we test out the Denarq Twin Beech Mod, an upgrade to the Carenado Beechcraft 18. We'll be taking the aircraft on a flight from Milford Sound (NZMF), over to Gorge River Airstrip (NZQE) within Microsoft Flight Simulator (MSFS).
The scenery enroute is absolutely stunning and Gorge River should make for a challenging landing, so buckle up and enjoy another outing in this vintage beauty!

Hi!
I'm the creator of this mod and just want to thank you for this amazing video. This is a flight I have to do. Very beautiful! Only one small correction. The flight model was completely redone. Very few code lines remain from original plane.
Other than that, amazing video! Thanks alot!
Thank you for your work, will have to try this tomorrow. Would really increase my enjoyment of the plane i think.
Love your work! Made this a lovely thing to fly :D
Thanks for this excellent mod! Truly enjoy flying the Beech now. Well done!
Hi Alexandre,
Thank you ever so much, for all of your hard word with this excellent mod! Apologies regarding the flight model haha. I did go through the manual and thought I had caught all of the major changes, but must have missed something. I had assumed, that the updated weight and balance had corrected some of the Beech 18’s behaviours, but the aircraft certainly flies much more nicely now at any rate!
I’m really glad you enjoyed the video. The flight is definitely worth giving a go!
Once again, superb work! Cheers and all the best : )
Thanks for your work Alexandre . It's now an amazing plane 👍👍
That music at the beginning strikes deep nostalgia.
You have to prime an R-985 if you want it to start on the first try. The primer goes to the cylinder. The boost pumps are supply line pressure only to the Carb.
Yes, the Denarq manual says to use the primer during start. It fires first time for me.
Thanks for the pointer guy, I did wonder. . . I tend to quite religiously follow whichever checklist I am using at the time and that particular checklist called for priming *during* the start. I suspected that would give me a more successful outcome, but as I explained in the video, the primer in the Carenado Beech is a little bit fiddly and trying to juggle that with the rest of the start process, would have been rather tricky. So, I opted to forego priming, as I knew the engine would start on the 2nd attempt either way and it was also (inadvertently) a good way of showing the improvements in engine modelling.
Cheers for the info though. Much appreciated and all the best : )
With the mod, this is now one of the best (most fun) aircraft out there! Another great review.
Thanks very much Neil, I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
Completely agree re the Beech 18 - the Denarq mod is completely transformative.
Happy flying, all the best! : )
Stunning! Thanks for the great flight!
Thanks very much, Davide, I’m really glad you enjoyed it! My pleasure on the flight. Cheers once again : )
Great flight! I really enjoy Carenado's Beech 18, but have never felt like I've flown it well. Very excited to try this mod out. Cheers!
Thanks very much Myles, glad you enjoyed it!
The Beech 18 has always been a bit of tricky aircraft to master; the default flight model is rather iffy, which makes it more than a little difficult to get a decent takeoff / landing out of the aircraft. The Denarq mod radically overhauls the Beech’s flight model though, so you should find you’ll now be a Beech 18 expert ; )
Cheers and all the best!
One of the most beautiful flights and skillful landings you’ve done! Wonderful mod
Thanks very much, Kengou! I’m really glad you enjoyed the flight and indeed the landing haha. The Denarq mod is indeed excellent and made for an incredibly fun outing overall.
Much appreciated, all the best! : )
Oh my goodness, thank you for bringing this mod to our attention. I was really bummed by how really shallow the Beech felt. This sounds like a great mod. Dare i say putting it to the direction of the 310? Going to try it tomorrow. Thanks again.
My absolute pleasure, sir! I’m more than happy to highlight this superb mod. The engine modelling is some of the best I have seen, most other aspects are top notch also (although, perhaps not quite up there with the 310). How are you finding it? : )
Cheers!
@@IntotheBlueSimulations Enjoyed it a fair bit tbh. Haven't flown it more then once though since a certain youtuber (cough-cough) showed an Alouette 3 video, that gave me the helo bug and now i am trailing helos in DCS like crazy and setting up for my first MFS helo.
But definetely going to try it some more eventually :D
I have to say I think this is one of your best videos! Can really feel how much enjoyment you get out of this scenery aircraft combo! The music also made it! A thoroughly enjoyable video! 😊
Thanks very much MKE! I would kind of have to agree haha and I’m glad my enthusiasm for the aircraft / scenery came across during the video. This sort of flying, for me, is really what MSFS is all about and is certainly where the sim shines. I’m happy you enjoyed the music / trip down memory lane ; )
Thanks once again for the kind words! Much appreciated and all the best : )
Another great upload Captain! The scenery in the valley was on another level for sims. And what a fantastic aircraft / mod pack.
Thank you very much Chewy, I’m really glad you enjoyed the flight!
Indeed, whilst the Gorge River scenery is “handcrafted” (not default per se), it’s incredible just how good MSFS can look at times. The Denarq mod is simply superb and the aircraft / scenery in combination, made for a fantastic flight.
Cheers once again! All the best : )
What a flight and the aircraft is on the mark. Just think what it was like to be in that beauty "in the day"
AND those airports really gave us a glimpse into the beauty of New Zealand! !! !!!
Many thanks as always, Mark! I’m really glad you enjoyed the majesty of both the Beech 18 and NZ. As far as beautiful flights go, it really doesn’t get much better than this - I had a cracking outing!
Hope you had a great weekend. Cheers : )
Lovely flight in a classic plane. Had resisted getting the Beech, but with this mod it looks like she will be joining my hangar! Thanks again!
Cheers Peter!
Carenado never fall short on the visuals of course, but the Denarq mod is completely transformative in every other department and really makes the Beech 18 a joy to fly. If you do pick up the Beech, I hope you have fun!
I’m glad you enjoyed the flight. Happy flying and all the best : )
The sound is amazing!
The sounds are superb, aren’t they, Donald - much improved over the original addon (indeed, most aspects of the aircraft are much improved)!
Cheers : )
Absolutely fantastic flying in this video!
Thanks very much Pythos, really glad you enjoyed it! : )
Great review. Reading the excellent manual included with the mod and following procedures ensures a great experience, as you demonstrated. Before doing so, I proved to myself numerous times that it is now possible to damage the engines and fall out of the sky. Excellent enhancement to the Beech!
Thanks very much, Tubez!
Haha for sure, the manual makes for mandatory reading with the Denarq mod. I’ve managed to damage the engines in pretty much every conceivable way, but I think I’ve got a handle on things now ; )
I’m really glad you’re enjoying this excellent upgrade! Happy flying and all the best : )
Great flying and your landing was great. Thank you
Thanks very much, Donald, I’m really glad you enjoyed it! My pleasure and all the best to you : )
Thank you again for the excellent content! I picked up this bird recently after watching this video and installed the Denarq mod. What a treat it is! The sounds, engine modelling, oil/fuel systems, this my kind of aircraft. I go back to this video for familiarization as I only have little time to fly on the sim these days. Overall, I love and appreciate your content as it helps me get back in the cockpit and "knock the rust off." Thanks again!
Thank you very much for the kind words, James! I’m really glad you’re enjoying the content - all the more so if you’re finding it useful also : )
My absolute pleasure. Happy flying and all the best!
Super video! I bought the Beech upon release, and like you thought it lacking. I downloaded the mod recently, and it's transformed the aircraft. Well done to all!
Thank you very much John! I’m really glad that you are enjoying Denarq mod and that it has given the Beech 18 a new lease of life for you.
Happy flying and all the best! : )
I first wondered where I knew this music from. Fits really well for this flight.
Haha, it’s a little trip down memory lane hey, PilotFlo ; )
I’m glad the music brought back a few memories and that you felt it worked quite well with the flight. Cheers and all the best! : )
Some nostalgic background music there, nice touch. This has been one of my favourite aircraft in the sim for some time now, particularly given that it lends itself to crystal clear graphics in VR more than some of the others on my system at least. I will install this mod the next time I load the game and look forward to seeing how the take off and landings improve (I think my best landing so far was only two bounces first lol). The engine management and sounds add a whole new dimension. Thanks for another great review.
Cheers Terry, I’m glad you enjoyed the nostalgia hit haha!
If you were already enjoying the Beech 18, no doubt you will love the Denarq mod, it is truly superb! I couldn’t land the old Beech for toffee haha, but flight model improvements are certainly paying dividends for my virtual passengers XD
I hope you’re having a great weekend! All the best : )
Found you per coincidence, love your Channel! Totally underrated!
wow that taxi at 9:50 ish... its incredible how far pc siming has reach graphicly.. great vid as allways :)
It's amazing, isn't it. It's been 40 years since I first got involved in the flight sim hobby, and I was always waiting hopefully for the technology to permit this level of detail and realism in terms of the scenery. Finally we're here, and it's just beautiful. Every flight I take, I pause at some point just to revel in it, and to be thankful that we got to this stage in my lifetime.
Isn't it just, Thomas! Even with all of the recording I do in MSFS, I am still blown away by the sim occasionally haha.
I'm really glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for watching and all the best : )
Love the Deco style of this era. I didn't know there was a mod for this plane. Great video. Excellent scenery and great landing.
Thanks very much, Gumper, I’m really glad you enjoyed the flight! Hopefully my other reply will help a little, in terms of getting the Beech 18 figured out : )
Much appreciated. Cheers!
wow - looks awesome
It is indeed, RD! Well worth a try : )
awesome one man, love it ! the background music makes it epic haha
Haha, cheers Mitch! I’m really glad you enjoyed the video and indeed the music ; )
Thanks very much for watching and all the best!
Absolutely amazing
Thanks very much, Juraci! Really glad you enjoyed it : )
Ohh My Goddd.. @0:14 I had to close my eyes with this approach! haha Thank You so much for once again beatifull production.. I Always love these MSFS from this channel!
Haha! Me too, Robin! : P
My absolute pleasure on the video, I’m really glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the kind words, they are very much appreciated : )
All the best!
It really looks nice that way!
It is MZ! If you already own the Beech 18, the Denarq mod is well worth a try : )
Cheers!
Great flight, well done video. I'm a sucker for round engines, sounds like real music to my ears. Beautiful aircraft, nicely modeled w the addition of the mods
Thank you very much Art, I’m really glad you enjoyed the flight!
I was never too fussed about radial engines, until I got into MSFS, now I totally understand what all the fuss is about haha. The Beech 18 is a beautiful aircraft and the Denarq mod turns the addon into a superb option for the sim - I really should take the Beech out for another flight. . .
Cheers and all the best!
This mod convinced me to get the Beech last night.
Ah well, I do hope you enjoy the aircraft / mod then, Paul (I think that you will)! The Denarq mod is a superb effort and really brings the Beech 18 alive. If only we could see more Carenado products modded in such a way. . .
Happy flying and all the best! : )
Epic Video Bro!
Thanks very much, Welstrand! I’m really glad you enjoyed it : )
Love the soundset on this beauty. Don't think I need to comment on scenery either. New Zealand speaks for itself.
As always thanks for the video!
Cheers, Dream! Indeed, the sound, aircraft and scenery, all rather speak for themselves on this one! New Zealand is a mega location to fly in and taking the Beech 18 around was a real joy.
My pleasure, as always! Thanks once again : )
The sights are so good.
Yeah, the sim looks really great, doesn’t it BlackFalco! Cheers and all the best : )
@@IntotheBlueSimulations 🥳🥳🥳
i love the b 18
I suspect you’ll very much enjoy the Denarq mod then, Guilherme! The mod is certainly well worth checking out if you already own the Beech 18, otherwise, with the introduction of this mod, the Beech is definitely worth picking up in any sales : )
Cheers, all the best!
I cannot commend Denarq eough! I've flown this mod for a few weeks - 10/10
Absolutely, GM! The Denarq mod is a superb upgrade for the Beech 18 and really makes the the aircraft one of the most enjoyable to operate within the sim : )
Happy flying and all the best!
That intro... Literal Goosebumps, i used to spend sooooo mcuh time in FSX when younger.
I know right??? I might have 2000 hours in that game as a 10 - 15 year old kid playing literally whole summers away
@@vaughngoo255 Yeah! Awesome memories for sure.
Haha, cheers Rund! A big shot of nostalgia for many of us, I’m sure : )
All the best!
I really like this aircraft. Last Sunday, I joined a community event (50th Event by AndyanerTV - live stream here on CZcams). Two-thirds of the countless participants, including the organizer, flew the Twin Beech. It was fantastic, and I regretted leaving this aircraft untouched in the hangar for so long. However, it is quite challenging to land. Although I always manage to bring it down safely, it's not as smooth as I'd like it to be. It was reassuring to see that others also had their difficulties with it.
That sounds like a fun event, Martin : )
I’ve always enjoyed the Beech 18 in MSFS, but tended no to fly it all that much, in part because the takeoff / landing characteristics were pretty unpleasant (it was almost impossible to get a smooth landing out of the aircraft haha). The Denarq mod does a lot to address the aircraft’s flight model issues and the Beech is now a real joy to fly overall!
Happy flying and all the best!
Intro music reminds me of Raiders of the lost Ark, stunning scenery excellent presentation of the enhanced modification - many thanks Best Regards Charlie
Haha, I suppose the music does rather have that sort of vibe to it, yes Charlie. It’s great to hear that you enjoyed the flight, as you could probably tell from the video, I very much did also! ; )
A pleasure as always, Charlie. Good to see you once again! All the best : )
It looks like an excellent mod! Definitely adds a bit of character to the radials that seems to be lacking in most sims. I hope someone makes a mod like this for the DHC-4 Caribou, it would be fantastic to get more temperamental characteristics for engine management and maybe some slight refinements to the flight modeling and sounds. (Though it is truly a wonderful aircraft already!)
That’s what I love about the Norseman. If you don’t follow the startup procedure 100% it will not fire it will just spit, sputter, and smoke a bit. Also once you get it fired it will act cold and as she heats up she idles up and smooths out.
It is indeed an excellent mod, Justicier (and I gather it's just had another big update as well)!
I was thinking exactly the same haha: I don't know whether the encryption levels are similar between the Beech 18 and the DHC4, but it would be superb if the Caribou got the same treatment - fingers crossed!
Cheers, all the best : )
The plane and the scenery go extremely well together (the plane is gorgeous)
I’m glad you thought so, TS! The Beech 18 is indeed a beautiful aircraft and Denarq has done a superb job with the mod : )
Cheers, all the best!
Beautiful flight! The Beech D18 has a special place in my heart because it was the first, non-Cessna, aircraft I saw on our ERAU campus when I arrived at college in 1977. If I remember correctly, we used it during our A&P training to see how retractable landing gear worked. Then, later on in 1987, I was working at Eastern Airlines in Miami, FL (KMIA) and one of our company aircraft, a 727, had just finished being D-checked in our hangar. Because of the extent of the work, a test flight was required. At EAL, they didn't refer to them as "test flights" but rather as an LAF (local acceptance flight). As was tradition on nice days when nearby runways were in use, we mechanics would gather outside of the hangar to watch the LAF aircraft take off. This particular day, our aircraft was number 2 behind a Beech D18. We watched the Beech takeoff roll but, instead of departing normally, it left the ground and almost immediately pitched straight up. Of course it could not sustain flight like that so it stalled, rolled, crashed and exploded taking the lives of the pilot and copilot. In the next year or so, we had heard that it was carrying newspapers and magazines to one of the islands and that the cargo had shifted causing the CG to be much too far aft. Of course there was no public Internet in those days, and the explanation was plausible, so I always figured that is exactly what happened. Upon watching your video today, I decided to check out the NTSB accident reporting website. Not a very detailed NTSB report, but the actual cause of the accident turned out to be that the aircraft was 955 lbs over gross with a CG that was 14.5 inches aft of the aft limit. In addition, the weight & balance paperwork had been altered to show the CG was within limits. According to the report, the Part 135 operator, and the PIC, had been cited multiple times for various FAR violations. The report can be found at app.ntsb.gov/pdfgenerator/ReportGeneratorFile.ashx?EventID=20001213X32137&AKey=1&RType=Final&IType=FA
Hi Part121,
I’m really glad you enjoyed the flight! Thank you for the tragic, but very interesting story. I really hope that it was at least the pilots that doctored the loadsheet; it would be even more tragic, if they died as a result of someone else’s gross negligence.
I’m happy that the video also brought back some nice memories, from your early days of training. Cheers and all the best! : )
BEATIFULL PLANE
how i was missing the music in the first seconds. i love it.
Haha, it is indeed a bit of a “blast from the past”, isn’t it, Heikko!
Cheers, all the best : )
It took me me three go's to land a Baron on this strip with I suspect some under carriage damage. Hat's off to you landing the Beech with great braking skills.
It’s a tricky little strip, Runman, no doubt haha. I’m glad you enjoyed my landing, although I’m sure the Beech also needed more than just a little polish up afterwards ; )
It’s great fun trying to pull these sorts of things off in the sim and as I mentioned during the flight, there’s not much point pursuing a hobby, if one isn’t having fun along the way!
Thanks as always for the support. Happy flying and all the best : )
Good one mate ! Just bought this aircraft today, such a good price. Not expecting study level aircraft, but that’s fine :) Must check out that mod as well
Cheers, Ronnie! Enjoy then (with the Denarq mod, I think Beech 18 may in fact be one of my favourite addons in the sim)!
Happy flying and all the best : )
Thank-you for your quick flight through New Zealand’s Gorge Valley in the Beach 18. I am Guerry from the States. Furthermore, I am brand new to MSFS and this channel. So I look forward to gaining knowledge of available addons from you and those leaving comments, as I thoroughly enjoy this channel with its concise yet very informative reviews of aircraft.
For the aircraft in the review and in your written introductory information, could you please put a link that sources the aircraft’s POH? I’m certain I could find it through my own search. But it would save me a lot of time from reading whatever that has nothing to do with my search. Personally, I enjoy reading POH’s in order to understand the “why” things are done in the manner the narrator does them in the review.
The scenery for your flight was stunningly spectacular in my opinion. I thought the aircraft was well depicted, and I am glad to see that it was shown in new condition. I loved how everything darkened with the threatening clouds, and I liked how the turf affected the ground performance of the aircraft. I could tell that you were enjoying the fun flight for the sake of flying in beautiful terrain. I believe that I too would enjoy flying through the gorge as I replicated your flightpath. But, did you turn off the weather effects related to mountain flying? Although I have never done any mountain flying, from what I’ve read it is very rare to have the smooth conditions in which you flew. But, I’m not complaining but only making an observation.
The only other thing I noticed, especially when you ducked under the dark cloud was that the engine instrument lights were not illuminated. At first, I thought that was something wrong with the addon, but with a flip of the switch later, you answered my concern.
Initially, I had more notes about which I desired to comment. However, after reading those left by others, they did cover the topics that I thought were noteworthy.
In all, I enjoyed the video and look forward to your next review. Thank-you again for sharing.
Hi C-990,
Welcome to the channel and indeed, MSFS! I’m really glad you enjoyed the flight and that you’re enjoying the content more generally also : )
Your request, regarding linking to a POH, is obviously a very reasonable one however, I’m afraid I tend not to do that anymore, as I was finding that when I did link resources, they were quite often taken down shortly thereafter (I presume as a result of a significant number of downloads). Not wanting to lose such resources altogether, I don’t generally link them anymore but, I’m always happy to recommend them on an individual basis. That being said, so far as the Beech 18 goes, I was simply using a checklist from Flightsim.to.
The scenery was indeed stunning and for me, this was a flight were MSFS really shone (I’m glad that came across in the video - I had great fun haha).
My absolute pleasure on the video and I look forward to seeing you again some time soon. Cheers and all the best!
@@IntotheBlueSimulations: Thank-you for your explanation, sir! See you soon.
You’re most welcome! : )
Damn i wasnt looking at the screen when this video autoplayed, the music instantly took me back to 2012 when I first got my hands on fsx as a 12 year old
Haha. The FSX theme tune is indeed a bit of a trip down memory lane, Jensen! I’m glad the video brought back some nice memories : )
Cheers and all the best!
not much wing tip clearance, huh? I‘d politely correct you: not much prop blade tip clearance 😂 great video!
Haha, fair point Marc! The Beech 18 makes for quite an expensive lawnmower XD
I’m really glad you enjoyed the vid! Cheers and all the best : )
You forgot the fuel tank transfer valve under the right seat
I don't know how to fly. I don't have a computer that can handle this game. I don't have the proper controllers... .and your videos make me want to get the gear and start flying.
Haha! Thanks very much Hooniverse! XD
I’m really glad you’re enjoying the videos and that the content has been tempting you to get started with flight simming. There are quite a few options available, should you wish to dive in; basic controllers can be picked up very cheaply (especially 2nd hand) and I gather there is a cloud gaming version of MSFS, which should run on most devices : )
Cheers, much appreciated and all the best!
Carenado is normally no buy - but I may jump off the fence for this one.
Haha, I can appreciate that Øystein. The Denarq mod really does make a huge difference to the aircraft though and the Beech is otherwise a beautiful aircraft (as you can see). Certainly, well worth taking a punt (in my opinion), if you can pitch the Beech 18 up during the next sales : )
All the best!
Man, fs2020 is a godsend. The COLORS, the lighting, the scenery, the many thousands of add ons popping up, it's just beautiful.
Good job on the video.
Is there a cargo version of the Twin?
This looks absolutely amazing. Are these missions?
Cheers FF! Yes, both the aircraft and the sim are really visually impressive. The flight itself wasn’t a specific mission, just a simple hop from A to B (I believe there is an in-sim landing challenge relating to Gorge River, but that particular challenge is an aside from this video).
I hope that clarifies things. All the best : )
No better SIM for VFR than FS2020.
Absolutely, PJ D! For VFR flying, no other sim comes close at this point ; )
Happy flying and all the best!
They stated they've addressed the bouncy characteristic and even that alone would be a good improvement. Looking at the improvements list they've really done some work here. I will be eager to try this out.
Edit: I can't get this to work unfortunately. I followed the Mod creators instruction's and copied this into my community folder. Will see if I can figure this out but a shame wanted to try this.
Solved! something I was doing wrong should have taken the folder Denarq-enhancement-Beech-D18S out of the extracted Denarq-enhancement-Beech-D18S rather than copy all of it to the community folder. The Extras folder can be placed elsewhere on the system. Information for anyone who does what I did :)
Indeed NG, the flight model has been radically overhauled (as have most aspects of the aircraft), so it’s finally possible to get a half decent landing out of the Beech haha XD
Happy to hear that you managed to get the installation figured out. Hopefully my other reply will help a little, in terms of getting the aircraft’s configuration / operation figured out.
All the best! : )
Can I do an aircraft request? Cessna citation longitude, with all the new navigraph improvements and AAU features would be nice to see especially from you
Hi Mukkuimama,
I already have the Longitude on my list of possible future videos actually. New addon reviews tend to take priority, but I suspect we’ll get a chance to look at the Longitude at some point : )
Thanks very much for the suggestion and all the best!
@@IntotheBlueSimulations I’m very glad to hear that!
Can you please create rout as a bush trip? :)
Hello Victor,
I’m afraid I’m not sure how to go about doing that. The route is very straightforward though; you just turn right after the departure from Milford Sound and then follow the coastline. If you want to figure out where to pick up the river, perhaps fly the river section in reverse the first time (departing from Gorge River) and you can see where you’ll need to cut in from the coast, towards the hills. The entire area is well worth exploring, so even if you get lost, you’ll no doubt have a great flight haha!
I hope that helps a little? Cheers and all the best : )
My dad, Col. Norman Walker has an epic story about flipping one on a golf course. I hope to post all of his best stories sooner than later.
Hi Kyle,
Yikes! Was this the same incident that you mentioned over on my DC3 vid (regarding the tailwheel not being locked before landing), or was that a different upset (it sounds like it probably was). It’s always fascinating to hear old war stories, so please always feel free to share : )
Cheers, all the best!
@@IntotheBlueSimulations This is a different story than the C-47. If I can get off of my butt and publish the interviews, I'll have one that goes into detail on this incident. It's a little frightening but very funny.
Cheers Kyle. As and when you can find the time, I look forward to reading your father’s stories : )
your videos are so well done. i miss the turbulence on MSFS, i feel it takes away from the immersion.
Thanks very much once again, Barrett, I’m really glad you enjoyed it!
I haven’t looked / played around with things myself, but I gather there are now 2 options available for turbulence within MSFS. There’s a “realistic” option and a “standard” option (as understand it); it might be worth having a hunt around in the sim’s settings and seeing whether you find the other option more agreeable?
Cheers and all the best! : )
Красиво сделано но для реальности конечно не хватает тряски кабины, мод конечно может есть
Would it be possible to make a video on how to use/ understand trim?
Hi Reese,
I’m afraid I don’t have the time to make a dedicated video on the subject at the moment, but I did create a tutorial series some time ago and that covers most of the basics, including trim. The video is by no means exhaustive on the subject of trimming (as I was trying to cover all of the basics in a relatively short series), but hopefully it will give you at least a couple of pointers. You can find the relevant info at the 12 minute mark (and the subject is covered again in the subsequent video):
czcams.com/video/gdSApj3dEqc/video.html
I hope that helps a little. If you have any more questions, feel free to get in touch once again! All the best : )
Airplane should have been yellow, missed the best reference with tailspin :p
Haha! TaleSpin. . . what a classic! Great to come across another chap with excellent taste ; )
Cheers Neskire, all the best!
Hi there
Thanks for the video and to Alexandre on the work putting this mod together
i have question, the rocky scenery mod, where can we download it from, please?
Hi Dougie,
The Gorge River scenery is included as part of the New Zealand World Update (so you just need to download that from the Marketplace : )
I hope that helps. All the best!
@@IntotheBlueSimulations thanks for getting back
Should have it then
You’re most welcome! : )
I gave up on this mod with cold starting. Never could get the oil pressure right. Engines died. I must be doing something wrong. I can't get my oil pressure up and the temp goes way up. I did a ready to go at the runway for now. The sound alone is so much better than the default. Wow.
I had trouble myself, copied this video best I could and even tried some instructions I found on a forum somewhere but no luck. Not sure if it's me or maybe some kind of conflict in my MSFS setup. I could have tried the ready on the runway but just went ahead and removed instead. Perhaps I will try again at a later time.
Hello Gumper (and NG),
The manual is a “must-read” for the Denarq mod. It sounds like you probably haven’t topped up the engine oil, which is most likely what’s causing your oil pressure issues and quickly inducing an engine failure? It’s worth persevering with the mod, since it’s a very rewarding experience overall (the sounds alone are worth it, as you point out) and the Beech isn’t too tricky to manage, once you have its operation figured out. You can find the manual in the same folder as the main download : )
I hope that helps. All the best!
Hi NG,
Hopefully, my reply to Gumper will be of some use to you also : )
@@IntotheBlueSimulations Thank you kindly for replying :). I will definitely have a look though the manual again as it could well be something I have missed (hopefully). I did see the bit about the oil levels and topped up within the limits they specified in the Weight/balance menu before flight. This didn't work for me but there might be something else I did miss.
You’re welcome NG! If memory serves me correctly, you have to pull the oil shut off valves (and have the aircraft cold and dark) *before* topping up the oil levels ; )

It's that all msfs scenery? Couldn't believe the flotsam and jetsom coming into land. Never seen that in the sim before.
Hi Duke,
It is all “default” scenery. Very impressive, isn’t it! The airport (and the surrounding area) are “handcrafted” and included as part of the New Zealand World Update.
I hope that clarifies things. All the best! : )
@@IntotheBlueSimulations yes thanks
Hello Into The Blue Simulations! Do you use reshade?
Hello Marius,
I do not use Reshade, no. I do spend a lot of time tweaking the weather and lighting in my videos though, as that can make a huge difference as to how MSFS looks. I also tend to add a little bit of vignette to my external shots, during editing.
I hope that helps. All the best! : )
I have a review request... the FSS Tecnam P2006....
Hi Jeremy,
The Tecnam is on my radar, for a possible future video. New addon releases tend to take priority, but when I find myself short of something to record, I’ll definitely consider the P2006 (it looks great).
Thanks for the suggestion. Much appreciated! : )
How do you trim the plane to fly at stable altitude. For me I can’t I can’t get it to fly stable
Hello Magnus,
I’m afraid I’m not really sure how to answer that question. Personally, I haven’t really had any issues with trim in the Beech 18 (other than the usual MSFS pitch sensitivity). Is the aircraft not trimming at all, or you just can’t get it trimmed into a stable condition? The main things that spring to mind; have you checked your weight and balance and also made sure you have your sim’s flight model set to “Modern”? Both of those could be causing issues I suppose. Without knowing more details, I’m afraid I’m not really sure what could be causing the problem. . .
Let me know, if you have anything further to add, or if I can be of any more help : )
Cheers and all the best!
Hi and thanks for the video…I tried this plane with the mod and got the engines fired up and went out and taxied but after taxiing a bit, the engines started running real rough and I couldn’t get any power to engines when I throttle up…any ideas ?
Hello Jonathan, my pleasure on the video.
That sounds like either an oil pressure issue, a carb icing issue, or a spark plug fouling issue. Check the fuel and load manager, to make sure that your engine oils are topped up. If it’s carb icing, then apply the carb heat until any icing has cleared and if it’s spark plug fouling (though I don’t recall if that has been modelled), run the engines at a higher power setting, until the plugs are cleared.
I hope that helps. All the best! : )
What do you use for visuals all your vids look so real and the lighting
Hi Erick,
The visuals are essentially stock MSFS, albeit with most settings on Ultra. I do spend a lot of time tweaking the weather / time of day in my videos though, as both of those can make a huge difference as to how MSFS looks. I’m glad you think my tweaking does the trick!
I hope that clarifies things a little. All the best! : )
@@IntotheBlueSimulations thank you for your reply. Looks as though you were using some sort of reshade, or Nvidia filter tweaks. Very realistic looking what you have
You’re most welcome on the reply, Erick!
To clarify, I don’t use any reshade or NVIDIA filters, but I do add a little bit of vignette to some of my external shots, during editing. So, that’s perhaps the difference you’re noticing (I suppose one could add the vignette using an NVIDIA filter).
Cheers : )
Dec 17 2023 wonder if the mod still works after SU 14 still Pitchy ??
Is it no longer necessary to use the booster button just to the left of the starter button? Do the new booster switches supercede it?
Hello William,
I believe that is the case, yes. I’m not entirely sure what is accurate and what is not, but the default Beech 18 used the switch to the left of the starter, to operate the fuel boost pump. In reality, if anything, I think that switch should have been used to operate a booster coil. I believe the fuel boost pump switches of the Denarq mod are more accurate and if memory serves me correctly, I did try the boost switch next to the starter - it was no longer clickable whilst using the mod.
I hope that clarifies things a little. All the best! : )
@@IntotheBlueSimulations Thanks for the extra info!
You’re most welcome, William! : )
Hi.. looks great but it seems this has been removed from MSFS and Carenado site.. it's nowhere to be found, where can you purchase the base aircraft from now ?
Hello Paul,
All MSFS Carenado aircraft, are only available from the in-sim Marketplace (they are not available from Carenado’s website). The Beech 18 is not technically a Carenado product; whilst developed by Carenado, the aircraft is actually marketed as an Asobo addon. If you search for the Beech 18 on the MSFS Marketplace, you should be able to find the aircraft there?
I hope that helps a little. Cheers and all the best : )
What custom scenery is this?
Hi RF,
The sceneries featured in this video, were both included as part of the MSFS New Zealand World Update : )
I hope that helps. All the best!
Hey ITB! What do you use for replays?
Hello Parker,
I use a 3rd party recording tool, which can be found here:
flightsim.to/file/8163/flight-recorder
I hope that helps. All the best! : )
@@IntotheBlueSimulations Thanks! One more question, does this replay tool allow you to do the AI path recording? I noticed that you had done something like that in the F-22 review.
Hello again Parker,
It does. You can record a profile and then play it back as AI (which is exactly what I did for the F22 video). The implementation isn’t always perfect (the AI can become quite “stutters” at close quarters for example), but it works well for the most part and is still a great feature to have : )
Cheers!
Any chance of implementing a smoke system?
Hi Postalz,
You’d have to address the dev for that one. If you post under his comment (which I’ve pinned), there’s a chance he might see it and be able to help you with your request : )
Cheers, all the best!
@@IntotheBlueSimulations Thanks for the reply! I actually did and had no response, possibly worth another try!
It seems you have your answer haha (great news by the way!). Cheers : )
I haven't finished watching yet, b ut is there a way with that aircraft to get rid of the GPS and go with older instrumentation?
Hi Jolly,
There’s no way of getting rid of the GPS, so far as I am aware (which is a shame).
I hope that helps. All the best! : )
@@IntotheBlueSimulations Cheers mate! That f** 530 is everywhere chrissalmity
Haha, it is somewhat overly prevalent, unfortunately. It’s always nice to have the option, but it would be great if it wasn’t mandatory, especially on these beautiful vintage aircraft.
My pleasure, cheers!
FSX music 🎶 one amazing soundtrack but what's the beautiful music called ?
Hello Andy,
I’m afraid I don’t know the name of the piece, if indeed it has a name. I’ve always just known it as the FSX soundtrack haha (it can be found on CZcams by searching for exactly that).
Sorry I can’t be of more help on that one. All the best! : )
is this a scenery mod for NZQE?
Hello Ryan,
Well, yes and no haha. NZQE was part of the New Zealand World Update; so whilst the scenery isn’t “default” per se, it’s available for free within the sim (so long as you have the World Update installed).
I hope that clarifies things. All the best! : )
please tell me , how you record msfs gameplay?? which software you use to record gameplay & fps of video
Hello Jampa,
I use Nvidia Shadowplay for my recordings. Typically, I run the sim and record at 60fps, though I generally format and upload the video at 30fps.
I hope that helps? All the best! : )
@@IntotheBlueSimulations thanks brother:)
You’re most welcome! : )
First of all I do like the Canadian Regestry and Another Spot on Video but in June and July Home Insurance and and (Stamp Duty Land Tax ) take Front and center stage Unfortinatly otherwise would get this product.
Cheers once again, Mike!
Haha well, protecting your possessions / the roof over your head, definitely sounds a little bit more important than simming. The Beech 18 is one of MSFS’ “Local Legends”, so a pretty cheap pickup, as and when finances permit ; )
Hope you’re having a great weekend! : )
you sounds like oxy from warthunder
Haha. Well, I’ve actually been trying my hand at WarThunder recently, Justin, but I’m afraid I’m not aware of who “Oxy” is (so I shall have to take your word for it ; )
All the best!
@@IntotheBlueSimulations its a guy (i think) on official WT channels who makes streams, and for me he sounds exact like you 😂
Haha. I checked out the channel and there’s a little bit of similarity there, but I think it’s the British accent as much as anything haha ; )
It’s cool that he got taken on officially by WT - good for him!
Cheers Justin : )
I followed your start up exactly.. But the engines keep cutting out..... Any ideas?
FIX.... EEk... I should have checked..
How to fill oil tanks
Like in real aviation, checking oil quantity should be part of your pre-flight check list. To fill tanks you need to pull L/R Oil shutoff levers, with plane stopped and engines off. Once done, you can adjust L/R oil tanks sliders. Then, just push oil shutoff levers in and you are ready to go.
Haha, I’m glad you got things figured out, Zimmer! Happy flying and all the best : )
Does anyone know what the name of the component of the tachometer at the bottom with the black and white spinning disk above the 'R' is called?
Hello Chris,
I believe that’s an indication of the prop sync (matching the prop RPM’s); if you adjust the prop RPM for either engine, you should see the indication shift between “L” and “R” / Left and Right.
I hope that helps. All the best : )
@@IntotheBlueSimulations
Thanks that's right apparently it called a "synchroscope".
That’s the one! : )
Well I tried the mod and unable to fly over 10 nm without engines loosing all power and unable to correct the problem, tried it four times with the same problem.
I'm getting no oil pressure after start both engines..... and it ends up just heating up the engine. I cannot adjust the oil quantity other than 19% from the balance window
See manual, oil tanks chapter (pag.7 and pag.8) how to fill oil tanks
Thanks very much for offering up the help, Alexandre! Much appreciated : )
Hi Jo,
As Alexandre kindly points out, you do have to follow specific procedures (outlined in the manual), in order to top up the oil. Once you’ve sorted the oil quantity, the rest should come good ; )
Let me know if you need any further help. All the best!
@@IntotheBlueSimulations Got the oil top up sorted and managed to make a successful flight. But I just did a short 40NM flight now and my manifold pressure decided to randomly drop to 15 for both engines and I ended up in a long glide :')
Oil was still good and oil pressure and temps were good so no idea what happened there

Isn't this mod for the Microsoft Beech 18? Not Carenado.
Hi SolRayz,
Same-same really. You’re more correct, it is the Microsoft Beech 18 officially, but the aircraft was actually developed by Carenado : )
I hope that clarifies things all the best!
I've downloaded and dropped the MOD into the MSFS community folder three times and still the air craft is not showing in the hanger ... major disappointment, was so looking forward to flying this aircraft 😟
How many hours do you have in a real Beech 18?
Hi Falcon,
Well, it starts with a 0. . . haha. Sadly, the Beech 18 is not exactly the easiest aircraft to get time on these days.
All the best : )
It would be nice if these were in 4k...why are there still people using crappy 1080?!
Hi AEW,
I can’t speak for everyone, but there are a couple of reasons that I’ve stuck with 1080p to date: 1) I only own a 1080p monitor 2) It allows for a higher frame rate / smoother experience within the sim 3) I did actually poll my viewers and the majority are still watching vids in 1080p. I have considered / am considering offering content at higher resolutions, but obviously that does have some drawbacks in terms of file size, editing time, upload duration etc.
I hope that clarifies things. All the best!
Why do i have to pay for something that I have to mode, to work properly?
Hi Nexe,
Well, the Beech 18 is a product in its own right and like any product, one can choose whether or not they think it’s worth a punt. The default Beech is far from perfect but to be fair, it’s pretty cheap and does work properly in the broad sense (it’s perfectly useable without the Denarq mod). Of course, in an ideal world Carenado would have completed the aircraft to this modded standard, but that’s never been their “style”, so I think it’s brilliant that Denarq has given us this superb upgrade!
That’s my take on it anyway, hope it makes sense. All the best : )
This airplane have autopilot?
Hi FBC,
It does, yes. You can see a demonstration in this video (around the 18:05 mark): czcams.com/video/wkaoSq1855o/video.htmlsi=3gFO4z7J0kthoo_Q
I hope that helps. All the best : )
@@IntotheBlueSimulations thanks
You’re most welcome! : )
What's specifically wrong with the flight modeling?
Gorge River with a twin? The real airstrip is really rugged, small and very narrow, much more then that of the sim that is nice but rather iconic. It exist to bring food to the family that live there, not more. There are no road so the small airstrip is the only way they have to have contact with the rest of the world. Not so nice...There is a video of the son of the two husband and mother living there but... they bring him home with a Piper Cub, not with a twin. Simmers are very optimistic about the aircrafts possibility. The real Beech 18 need large, well mantained airstrips to land safely. It is not a stol. However nice video, on sim nobody risk his life. 😊
I thank-you for your comment and sharing your real life experience with us. What is your aircraft recommendation for flying this route? I'm from the States and very new to MSFS as well as this channel. Furthermore, I have absolutely no knowledge regarding this area. Therefore, I am dependent on people like you for making my MSFS experience as realistic as possible.
My father used to fly our family in and out of some harrowing, mountainous locations in our Rocky Mountains in his Turbo C337. As I was his favorite copilot at 10 years old, he would detail the aircraft's capabilities and limitations to me as well as the environmental conditions (weather, terrain, effects on flying, etc.).
Again, thank-you for your insight and contribution. I look forward to your comments in future video reviews.
Raiders of the lost ark, entertaining presentation stunning scenery great flight thank and best regards Charlie
@@Guerry-3 I am a glider pilot in real life, but I also fly a superdimona turbocharged touring moto glider. I also have friends that fly GA and we go in holydays with airplanes all around Europe. There is big difference between flyjng in the USA or in another country. In the USA everything is big, here in Switzerland (but also in Europe as a whole) the average runway is 700 800 mt long it is hard to find an airport with more then one runway. In the USA you have huge uncontrolled airports with places for 400 airplanes or more. Turning back to NZ, like Idaho (as example) there are many small runway like this one and if you want fly there is better a high wing single engine GA. In fact there is a reason if you see many high wing Cessna in NZ. The reason is that a low wing aircraft can be damaged by flying debries when you land in a dirty, rugged backcountry airstrip. Not all airplanes have sturdy undercarriage and this is the reason for wich there are specific aircraft and undercarriage and wheels for the backcountry. My suggestion is to look at video published on YT to see what aircraft to use . The Beech is a rare bird and fly only for airshow in big airports, mostly with paved runway or at least in airstrip that are perfectly mantained and regular, with mowed grass. Gorge River in reality is terrible, really dangerous uneven and very narrow and wiith the ocean wind to complicate your landing abd take off. There is a video on YT about a landing there with a little Piper Cub, not with powerful twin like the Beech 18 . With the Beech there you cut your wings, broke undercarriage and probably your career end in the ocean.
@@antonioiozzi291: Thank-you for your reply. I hope when you visited my country, you were treated courteously. Furthermore, I thank-you for writing in English, and your English is better3 than most who speak it natively.
You mentioned one thing that those who do not live in North America do not realize. The United States (and Canada) is not just big. It is absolutely huge. Actually, unless someone has not driven from the Atlantic to the Pacific in the United State, along the northern border, driven along the Pacific coast and crossed back to the east along the southern border, and then back north along the Atlantic to their starting point (in the continental area), no one realizes how huge it is. I am not bragging but merely stating a fact.
You are absolutely correct when it comes to having uncontrollable airspace and room for long runways. Flying in the US is very forgiving, until one gets into our mountainous areas. But with an aircraft with moderate endurance, one in general aviation could very well fliy from coast to coast without filing a flight plan and never speaking to a control tower.
By the way, I love to watch sail planes orbiting very high above me. Again, thank-you for your reply. Good luck with your flying and be safe.
Hello Antonio,
Surely by now, you’ve seen enough of my videos to realise that I like to push things a bit sometimes haha? : P
I realise it wouldn’t be realistic to operate the Beech 18 into such a strip, but as you say, no harm done in the sim and it made for some great fun! I often like to try and “realistically” do unrealistic things (if that makes sense haha), just to challenge myself and hopefully hone my skills a little in the process.
Happy flying and all the best! : )
YOU DIDN' T DO AN ENGINGE RUNUP!! Your are required to run both engines up, check the magnetos, cycle the props 3 times, and check the prop feathering pumps. You did none of this! No qualified Beech 18 pilot would ever miss these steps in the pre-takeoff check list. I flew the E18S for 6 years/3,000 plus hours and was a company instructor and check airman 1973-1979 so I know the Beech 18.
I’m a pilot too. So, yeah, not a “full” startup, as stated.
However, this is a sim so bypassing the run up to focus on other areas of flight bothers me ZERO.
You didn't take your chill pill this morning
Hello Joel,
I carry out an engine run-up in almost all of my videos but, sometimes, certain parts of the flight just don’t add anything to the content (as I felt was the case here). I did also specifically mention during the video, that we would “hypothetically” be carrying out a run-up before entering the runway (so the viewer can imagine that process was carried out during the transition shot).
I hope that clarifies things a little. All the best
Fake fake fake fake fake
What’s fake, DK? The sim (of course that’s fake haha)?
