Those that are unable to use the Virtual Cockpit without excessive stuttering needn't fear. The included panel is nothing to frown upon. Despite being a 2D panel, the use of RealityXP gauges gives a realistic 3D feel to it. Using hotkey's, ALT+2 through to ALT+8, adds popup boxes providing you everything you need to fly this aircraft. Among these are the Radio Stack, Autopilot, Garmin 530GPS and the Baron 58 control panel, allowing the user to change realism of the aircraft such as cold starts as well as image quality, female/male pilot, captain/first officer seat. On the whole an extremely comprehensive panel. Going back to the GPS very quickly, they've provided an option in the panel to switch back to the stock Garmin 500 GPS included with FS2004 if RealityXP's 530 isn't quite your cup of tea.

I only had one gripe with it and it was more so regarding the side on and rear views in 2D panel mode rather than the panel itself. The designers has implemented real life photos to resemble front left, left, rear left, rear, rear right, right and front right views. I found this slightly disappointing due to the obvious jagged edges where windows have been cropped. Regardless, it wasn't enough to cloud my judgement about the aircraft as a whole.
