The developer lists rain support through the free Librain plugin. Its separate sound-mixing window adjusts exterior, cockpit and effects volumes, while opening the canopy changes the sound reaching the cockpit.
X-Plane 11 product description; not an X-Plane 12 compatibility claim
First developed under the Hawker Siddeley name, the Hawk continued through British Aerospace and BAE Systems. Its single-engine, subsonic design serves advanced training and, in some versions, combat roles. The T1 and later Hawks differ in equipment; photographs and figures here retain their model captions rather than treating the family as one cockpit.

Laminar's Baron guide describes rudder trim and the electrical availability of the represented trim system. It also covers simulator peripheral assignment. The conventional-panel Baron is documented separately from glass-cockpit G58 implementations in other simulators.

The Baron entered the Beechcraft range in 1961, developing from the earlier Travel Air. Its retractable landing gear and two wing-mounted piston engines provide the familiar outline of a light touring twin. Several fuselage and engine combinations appeared over the family's long history.
The Model 58 and glass-cockpit G58 share a recognisable shape while representing different equipment generations. A conventional-instrument X-Plane aircraft and a modern MSFS G58 consequently deserve separate avionics and systems descriptions, even when they share this family page.
