Piston & Turbine Dukes

@Black-Square Ok, noted. But actually, what I was hoping for was over the course of normal engine use was to see an increase in engine wear that would cause the usual symptoms of an engine approaching mid-time to TBO. Maybe an increase in temps, dropping oil pressure over time, a prop governor reacting slower, a gradual but subtle loss of compression (Power) etc.. This would give the user a better reason to pay attention to the engine trend monitor. Maybe even some engine asymmetry. For a future feature, maybe having an option that allows the user to hide the failures and engine conditions in the tablet to use the runup and aircraft performance trend to decide when to rebuild or reset the engine condition.

I almost thought this was a duplicate, because we just had a nearly identical post a day or two ago. Here was my response: "Every time I have seen a similar complaint, the cause has been destroyed engines (usually due to improper starting procedure). Check the engine health bars on the upper right of each engine visualizer page. If they are at 100%, then we can troubleshoot further. A video or screenshots might help at that stage." If that's not the problem, let me know and we will troubleshoot together.

@xip Yes, all my 2024 aircraft updates will be free. I've been wanting to release them for MSFS 2024 for nine months now, but every time I think I'm ready, Asobo breaks something else that I deem important to the user experience. I was waiting for SU3, which was supposed to release in June, then July 7th, then July 28th, and now it's August. If I could have predicted these extensive delays, I would have released them in their current states many months ago. I apologize. With SU3 being imminent for the last six weeks, hopefully you won't have to wait much longer.

Every time I have seen a similar complaint, the cause has been destroyed engines (usually due to improper starting procedure). Check the engine health bars on the upper right of each engine visualizer page. If they are at 100%, then we can troubleshoot further. A video or screenshots might help at that stage.

Fixed, luckily another user had the same problem and he posted this solution and it worked for me Create directory "Microsoft Flight Simulator" inside directory "C:\Users%USERNAME%|AppData|Roaming" Copy file "UserCfg.opt" from "C:\Users%USERNAME%\AppData\Local|Packages\Microsoft.Limitless_8 wekyb3d8bbwelLocalCache" into newly created directory above (1.) That's it - then you can run installer and after install you can remove

I found that if you adjust the engine sound in MSFS to around 20% with the Turbine Duke, the engine sound in the cockpit is good and you even hear the turbine sound.

@Gilandred Well, it doesn't seem to have been the case. I made it very clear that I didn't want price protection, especially not a year later, but only that I wanted the option to pay the difference between the Piston and the Bundle at the official price. Nothing else. The rest is just something you made up.

Awesome. Thank you. I will look.

The KX-155's are not GPS units, therefore they represent the "No-GPS" option. There is currently no way to load a sequence of RNAV waypoints into the KNS-80 or KNS-81. I haven't looked into it, but I suspect this would not really be possible, given how the flight planning system works in MSFS, as the waypoints are not defined by radial/distance pairs. In theory, I could create a system that selects appropriate radial/distance pairs based on injected GPS waypoints, but I don't think this would satisfy most users who want to follow realistic RNAV procedures, or actual history charts, as much as possible. Let me know if you have any more questions!

I found a solution to make the installer from Just Flight work with MSFS 2024: Create a folder on your PC Called Microsoft Flight Simulator In the following location C:\users<YourName>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator Then copy from your 2024 folder the UserOpt.config into it. That’s all you need to do. Any installer e.g. Just flight will now work and install the planes into your 2024 folder and the DRM will work.

I encountered the same problem during multiple flights. When I start cold and dark on a parking spot fuel flow is showing 0.0 although everything is working fine. If I start on the runway with the engine running fuel flow is displayed without any issues. I investigated a little bit further and found that in cold and dark start the fuel flow is 0.0 when I move the condition levers each on its own with the mouse to start the engine. If I start both engines at the same time with both condition levers bound to my VKB STECS axis I normally use for leaning engine in single engine planes like the DA40 engine starts and fuel flow is showing with correct numbers throughout the rest of the flight. Unfortunately I don't have the option to use two separate axis for each condition lever and it feels a little bit unnatural to do a double turbine start at the same time in parallel.I hope this information helps you to fix this problem for MSFS2024 update. Anything I can do in the meantime to enjoy the turbine with fuel flow information in MSFS 2024 in a normal startup procedure? I love my Turbine Duke in MSFS 2024. Currently I am crossing the Atlantic from Wichita factory to my home field Nuremberg in a realistic transfer. Can't wait for an officialy supported version.

Glad you found the solution! Indeed, that addon has caused us a lot of headaches, but I haven't seen it come up in a while, so I didn't immediately think to recommend looking for it. Let me know if you have any more questions!

@Black-Square All sorted Nick. I dropped my wallet on SPAD and learned how to use it. Took a few days but the clues on these forums and some youtubes later - I have solved all my annoying issues with all of your products and some other 3rd party AC. Should have bought SPAD a long time ago I guess. The answer for this was to add LVAR:bksq_TabletVisible 0 or 1 to display and dismiss it.

@Mustang said in Dirty glass texture in cockpit (MSFS 2024, not Duke specific): love to master them vs jumping into different aircraft and pretending I know how to fly them! We are in the minority, but I always hope that my aircraft cater to the most dedicated masters of the virtual skies Thank you for your comments. Sorry that these small issues are there at all! There are still numerous things in 2024 that we have been asking Asobo to address that I think have a detrimental effect on the experience of my aircraft, but clearly not everyone feels this way.

This is a common problem. When you load in on the ramp just click Esc and then click Restart. Fixes it every time.

@Black-Square Sure, you are welcome. John Hodgson or Mark Allison should have my contact details.

Yeah should do and ITT, I find it more noticeable when in the climb and I turn them off, get a spike you have to watch out for. Cheers James
