Hey you guys I love the way the 200 look and I'm not intending buying until Captain Sim release the full package but without an FMS im clueless on how to fly this plane and navigate and land lol.. Can any good pilot point me out to a good location where I can start learning this and figuring out how real pilots from the 70s did this.. To me seem really complicated.. Thanks

if you're clueless on how to fly and NAVIGATE a plane without FMS you should go back to the basis before flying this baby. Jump into the Default Baron Cockpit and start learning radio navigation:

You have VORs/DMEs and NDBs at your disposal and can do alot with them. Get some enroute charts (for Europe you can get them for free via Eurocontrol) and start familiarizing with basic radio navigation. Try navigation from and to VORs, then start flying and intercepting VOR radials, fly towards NDBs, use two VORs or a combination of VOR and NDB to navigate towards FIXES or determine your position. This is basic IFR navigation every pilot has to learn and will learn on smaller birds before transitioning towards bigger equipment.
