Piston & Turbine Dukes

@Tailhook said in Duke (Piston + Turbine) LVAR for MobiFlight: "starterInUseSeconds" Lvar compared to the Baron XML, but that might be a leftover dead-code now That's correct. It's from before I simulated battery temperature more accurately. Let me know if you find the issue, or have any more suggestions! Everything seems to have gone well in this respect with the last update, so I am now less afraid of making changes in this area

Well I think I answered my own questions here. Seems the Duke will go up to just under 250kt IAS without any airframe vibration. It will comfortably cruise above the indicate Vne but you get that nasty overspeed warning. If you want to silence that you can pull the “stall horn” 5a breaker on the right hand vertical breaker panel. Now this is not how the plane was designed to operate so it could cause issues that I am not aware of yet as I just did a 5min test with it but I’m going to attempt a longer flight and see how it does.

I have the premium version on Xbox and everything words fine with the Duke

I assume all the FS2020 will become FS2024 native once FS2024 adds them to the marketplace?

Okay that makes sense, I will do some more flights with another GPS to see if its the 750 then. I appreciate the info, thank you!

I can (almost) imagine the emotions involved! The Black Square planes I have (and others from such like as A2A and Just Flight) literally bring tears to my eyes. They are absolutely stunning and I can never believe just how far we’ve come since playing Solo Flight on my Commodore 64 with dad. Update. Ive disabled everything in 2024, and re-enabled Starship (which is version 0.1.2). No change, still have zoomed, partial reg on port side, nothing on starboard side. Hopefully when the update comes through all will be well! Many thanks - the aeroplanes are absolutely magnificent and already have given me literally 100s of hours of enjoyment (and I’m chomping at the bit to get the Baron and Bonanzas, when we are able to on Xbox).

That's great news, thanks! It was obviously not a huge issue but irritating every time you see it nontheless.

I just wanted to let you guys know that I implemented a workaround for this issue, which will be released in the next update when SU4 is released. You can read about it further in this post, if you would like. Thanks again!

@GunStrauss It will not be 2024 exclusive, but that does not limit my ability to use any 2024 features. With reference to the fuel flow issue, the solution is not 2024 exclusive, and it will be implemented for the Commander 114, and hopefully back-ported to all my previous aircraft.

I appreciate the reply, Nick. Interesting to see some of the things you have to contend with behind the scenes. I can imagine how frustrating it must be. In my own daily work I'm regularly frustrated when things don't quite work correctly due to bad configurations or bugs/'features' that few are interested to fix. To Avionic's post, I have had to contend with the cloud save corruption in 2024 too, and had to reset my cloud save completely. For me, it manifested itself with SU3's release. The game would freeze within a few seconds of reaching the main menu, so the game was unusuable. Nothing fixed it until I gave up and did the cloud save reset. I still haven't fully rebuilt my controller bindings since (but I don't use 2024 much). It often prompts me to save a new profile after editing a binding, even when I'm editing an already-customised profile. So it's getting messy with duplicate/triplicate versions of profiles with a (1) and (2) suffix. Confusing. But I digress!

@Black-Square Oh ok thx for the reply. I'm looking forward at the Bonanza and Baron Professional. One question still, when you have time, will you try to give the beacon lights for the Dukes a bit more juice in daylight ? I'm not talking about strobes, nav's or landing lights, they are fine, I would love to see the beacon flashing during daytime. Like the one on the Aerostar.

@Black-Square Have you noted that for the next update?

@Black-Square nah I think SU4's borked something, the latest beta's had all sorts of regressions in it

Thanks - will give that a try this weekend.

@Black-Square Thus, when I look to the sides of the plane from the outside, I notice some kind of "flickering shadows" on the whole plane. Only appears in certain angles.

Yes thank you! I checked the manual but was only seeing the VAR thingies
