Piston & Turbine Dukes

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.

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.
