Piston & Turbine Dukes

Thanks for the answer, thought it might be something like this. Roger

Are you sure that you weren't using reverse at the moment? I had pushed the breakes with the reverse on a few times and tipped back as a result.

@Black-Square Have you seen this topic?

got it - button needed to be pulse/momentary....thanks

@Black-Square Thanks for help, your code works well, but I'll use it as a temporary solution. Is there any chance that you could output these needle variables to some simvars in a future update?

SU6 seems to have resolved ALL of the LOD issues inside of the cockpit - even the CO2 detectors in VR (woohooo). But not this one - the Duke's recognition lights are still inside the fence and blinding.

I suspect the engines might be damaged, possibly due to a hot start - I had similar symptoms after trying the CTRL E MSFS auto-start command when I was in a hurry testing a few things quite a while back. You can check and repair the engines via the menu system.

@BigRigDriver Since the Duke uses all third party avionics (except the KNS-81), flight plan importing and editing is up to the capabilities of whichever GPS you have installed and intend to use. However, I believe all the available options support importing Navigraph flight plans. Let me know if there's anything else I can help you with!

@MiRexer The Duke does not have a KAS 297B, which could explain your difficulties

@vliah There's a clickspot below the red "feather" label on the throttle quadrant to show/hide all the levers. You have an interesting suggestion. I haven't heard anyone else complain about this, because I guess they must have dual lever inputs. Unfortunately, overriding hardware inputs is always a decision made very carefully as a developer, because the last thing I would want is someone jumping in the airplane for the first time and not being able to get their hardware propeller levers to work for some reason. I'll think about if there is any other way to do this, though. Sometimes it takes few days, but I might come up with something when I least expect it. Thanks for the suggestion! I can definitely see how it would be helpful for some hardware.

Thanks. Basically, yes, that's the same or very similar. In its simplest form, I save the control binding profile and livery for the Grand Duke, but upon next MSFS2024 startup, it's reverted and I have to select each of the profiles again (although from memory I think one of them is OK, but I can't be sure) - the livery certainly isn't and at least 2 of the 3 profile settings have to be re-selected. However, for the Stock Duke and Turbine Duke, the 3 x control binding profiles and the chosen livery remain in place from my previous 'save', even after shutdown and fresh re-start. It's only the Grand Duke that continues to fail in this regard.

@CdnCptMoustache I just looked into this, and that variable is only set to zero in the Turbine Duke, and Starship. There's a high probability it was a mistake, and I copied it over to Starship, but I will test things out and see if that's the proper solution before the next update. Thanks for pointing it out. This problem was on my list, but I haven't thought about it in a while.

An excerpt from the next changelog for you When the remote compass is slewed to an incorrect magnetic heading, the autopilot will now follow the HSI’s heading bug to this new incorrect heading.

Hi again, could I please get some support on my config. control bindings in MSFS2024 not saving on the Grand Duke (but all OK on the Stock Duke and Turbine Duke) - I'm at a loss to explain or fix it? I have to go ina and select the binding profiles (and aircraft livery) every time whenever I select the Grand Duke. Many thanks.

@fidlar Glad to hear it! You know where to find me if you have any more questions!

Very glad to see and let anyone else know the bundle is up!

Is that’s what’s going on with the flickering, that can be seen with the pilot door open, on the Caravan?

There is also Reverse Hold button binding which effectively flips your axis to 0 -> -100, meaning you pull to idle, hold the button, push physical axis forward, but it increases reverse.
