Piston & Turbine Dukes

Bumping this because it's important.

Your welcome. I did let him know you were interested in talking to him - that he could contact you through here or the support staff. I did try to pass a message on to you through a support ticket (95631) about a month ago - so there's a chance not all of those messages are getting through (although I know it's been a BUSY month for you).

Thanks, I'll do another engine run and check this for the second start. Can you think what would possibly repeatedly cause this on both engines? I have the MAG1 START / MAG2 START bindings to my HC Alpha, tied in with a required switch activation to allow for EITHER the left or right engine to be started independently. Because the start switch is not a spring switch, it's possible (I guess) that I left the starter on after the engine started, for a short period - how long would the starter need to be engaged to overheat and pop the circuit breaker?

Thanks for your continued attention to this issue. Looking forward very much to it being fixed.

Ah ok... I tried CTRL C very quickly and could see the tablet trying to change the GPS, but it still ended up back at the default 650/750.

Yup, managed to get to 279 KTAS at FL 280. [image: 0a9dae00-779a-4877-ac7f-c8a7b84094a6.png]

So now I had time to check - sorry it was my bad. Too stupid question. In the failures tab there was activated "1x Realtime" and so I had a failure with this compressor. I did not expect this. But now I know that I should check this each time I fly. I love the study level details of your aircrafts....was just too stupid to realize this.

Oh OK - that's what Chat GPT said I should look for in the config file and adjust :).

Thanks Nick. Seems you may be right. I loaded up the 2024 version to use the 24hr historical weather, and tested it a little further. For reference it was at CYWL in the early hours just before sunrise yesterday (though dev mode might allow you to force icing). This time, I ran the right prop heat. Same result. Both props picked up speed. So a single system for now. The failures tab has only a single entry for "prop deice" so that is a clue too. Perhaps you ran into that when programming the aircraft. I also tried failing it, for science. To my surprise, the gauge still registered current and the system still worked - props picked up RPM. So that may be another one to check as part of the same investigation. A somewhat unimportant detail not to lose sleep over, but I can imagine that it'll bug you now you know it's there (sorry) Thanks, Martyn

Sorry to ask again, I don´t want to bother you, but it´s been 3 weeks since the release of the dukes (piston and turbine) as single aircraft on MS 2024 Marketplace. So I wonder when the bundle is coming? Since the aircraft are available now as single versions, I don´t get why the bundle takes so much time. Maybe another challenge with the store? Greets Data

Yes, you can use 3rd party mapping software to assign different control sensitivities outside of MSFS.

100% do not agree with the tirade - I for one really appreciate your great work and speed to respond to calls for help ... well done!!! On the crosswind issue, I'm now flying an up-to-date MSFS2024 and tried the Turbine Duke last night in a 25KT crosswind ... and unfortunately was totally unable to even taxi within the confines of the taxiway without using independent braking the whole way (hopefully nobody checked my brake temps before takeoff) - the weathervane effect was extreme. I'm not sure where the issue lies there, but I just wanted to report back.

Will try it - great!

What chart are you looking at? According to the manual, at your altitude and settings, the fuel flow should be 29. [image: 9e5b85be-0003-4a79-8e7d-fece8966a589.png]

I just wanted to let you guys know that I spent some time today, and found an undocumented feature that can be used to achieve the desired effect. I'm quite pleased by this too, since I think this was a significant downgrade from 2020. I'm going to use it as an excuse to write some scripts to help me manage the lighting effect files for MSFS 2024, because they are so numerous, and require so much adjustment compared to MSFS 2020. EDIT: Looking at the date of your original post, this actually wasn't about MSFS 2024. Pardon me! I just like to let people know when I've looked into their problems and found solutions.
