Piston & Turbine Dukes

@SadBucket

Got it - thank you!

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]

Any news about the Bundle version in 2024-Marketplace? I wanna buy the duke bundle, but not both versions individually, because this is more expensive.

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.

@Captain_J I meant for my question to be directed toward Nick. Thinking about it now, I would assume he does, but that’s not to say the flight model in the sim would make it feel 1:1 with the real plane anyway. I have noticed the trim does feel more sensitive than similar types I’ve flown in real life, but unfortunately I haven’t actually flown any of Black Square’s planes in real life yet, so I wouldn’t know how they’re supposed to feel. I do know the A2A Aerostar’s electric trim feels nearly identical to real life and is much less responsive than how the Duke’s trim is modeled.

Yes, I'm running MSFS2024 now.

@Sunake It didn't seem to matter where I started, correct ramp, gate, or runway. But please see my other comment, which seemed to be the actual cause ... to do with where/how I flick the avionics switch ... which is very weird.

@vliah thanks for sharing, I have added a comment to your YT video, I believe you have built something similar to what I did some time ago.

Thank you for your answer. Sometimes it helps, when you just talk about it. I checked it again. The switch moves about "8 hours" counterclockwise, the green marker and the "On" label on the switch too. I don’t know why, but I was convinced it only moved 4 hours. That was my confusion. So everything is right and my inner monk can take a rest.

Thanks for letting me know. I should have remembered to recommend checking that, but alas, I forgot. Hopefully your message we be the reminder I need for the next user to ask. Let me know if there's ever anything else I can do for you!

Ah, thank you - now I understand :).

The only thing I can think of is that you're hearing the strobe light power supply. The Duke strobes work by charging and discharging high-voltage capacitors that illuminate the xenon flash tube strobe lights.

Thanks for the quick reply :).

Without looking at either myself, the two things I have for the yoke buttons are: The Bonanza also has some buttons on the yoke and I'm pretty sure I saw them listed out in the manual. Or maybe it was looking at Mobiflight presets. I would check both places, the Bonanza manual (since Nick usually keeps variables as common as he can it seems) or the Mobiflight HubHop repository online, which is a community-sourced set of variables and presets for advanced binding shenanigans. The other thing would be to put the sim in Dev mode (in 2024 at least) and then go to Tools --> Behavior and pretty Ctrl+G while mousing over the yoke buttons, it should bring up the code snippet and variable for the button in question.

Hi - yes I’m on Xbox. That’s comforting news, thanks. Regards, Mike

@vliah Same thing happened to me recently, I posted it here: https://community.justflight.com/topic/10047/finally-got-an-ils-issue/5. It hasn't reproduced since I uninstalled the kln90B, tho I did not have it loaded into the aircraft and I don't understand why having the unit installed would cause this issue... It is also generally good practice to enter HDG mode before intercepting a localizer.
