Modifying to pressurized cabin

Hi, all.  I'm not a builder, but I thought this question might best be posed in this forum.  

I have a Beechcraft Baron 58T that I love to fly.  I recently bought FSPassengers (which adds a lot to the experience).  But this has created a problem.

Before FSP, I just flew the 58T up high where it longs to be, and ignored the altitude effects on me and the "passengers".  

But with FSP running, I have to keep to FL 120 or lower, or run the risk of killing my passengers.  And the 58T eats fuel like my fat sister eats chips when trying to cover real estate at low altitude. ;)

I looked through the config file, and found no parameters that I could change so that it would be recognized as having a pressurized cabin.  Any ideas?

Yeah..   ;)   I can't take MY pressurized 210 above 13,000msl  without those paying passengers getting dizzy, sick, passing out and being generally annoyed (although they do stop screaming after losing consciounsess (which is nice))..

When I was building it.. I wondered about the pressure thing. Now I need to know. If I find out something; I'll be back to post, ASAP..

Your 210 is pressurized, but you have the same problem?  Now I wonder if FSP isn't recognizing some smaller GA craft with press cabins.  Maybe I need to change a parameter in FSPassengers.

Did some digging, and got an answer to my own question.. :P

Payload models in FSP have a parameter for pressurized/non-pressurized cabins.  Go into the payload editor (included), and uncheck the "this cabin is not pressurized" box.

Took the 58T up to FL200 after doing this, got no passenger danger message.
