Hello,

I would like to request support for the Beechcraft Baron B55 as a SimBrief aircraft profile.

Aircraft: Beechcraft Baron B55
ICAO Type: BE55
Developer: Carenado (MSFS 2024)

The Baron B55 is a popular piston twin used by many MSFS pilots for IFR and VATSIM operations. At present there does not appear to be a dedicated SimBrief profile available, requiring users to adapt other aircraft profiles.

Performance information from the POH needed.
