Piston & Turbine Dukes

Ahh, OK. I do throw the ignition switches into auto on final. I will try that. And thankyou for the pointer over the the bindings. CG.

There's a version 1.2? Has it been released yet? Oh, version 1.2 of the TBM... still (im)patiently waiting for the Duke update.

Sounds good. Makes sense.

Pretty sure I do, v1.1 (or 0.1.1 in the Manifest.json) as we've only had the one update so far if I recall. I landed today in light rain and saw no issues, so replicating the conditions for it might be tricky. At the time I made the video, I didn't actually start up or go flying to see if the effect disappeared - the conditions were worse than the forecast so after loading up the sim I closed it again and went to do something else with my day! (I was at a short strip near the limit of performance already and there was a 20kt crosswind too.) It's way down the fix-list for me, but in case it was an easy/obvious fix I thought it worth a post. I did a quick search but didn't find any other posts (probably didn't use the right words). I also have the Comanche installed, knowing it affects the Duke's landing lights for a few people (but so far not for me). Anything is possible, however improbable!

Expensive!

After much troubleshooting using Addon Linker and removing things from the community folder, the problem at least for me, was the Navigraph AIRAC Cycle rev.2 - once I removed that the ILS returned to full functionality. Interestingly, after reinstalling it again it still worked. Weird.

@xXCaveDwelerXx no worries! I just used the numbers of the tables provided in the manual. I'll try another flight in the higher levels later on and have a look at the results again. (but tbh I really don't mind flying faster than advertised...)

The flaps are very quiet inside the cabin of a duke. The turbine Duke is one of the quietest prop aircraft I have ever flown.

Perfect, thanks for the quick response. It was a hardware binding (on the joystick secondary tigger no less). Removing that binding solves the issue. Great work on the dukes and the tbm, love it.

I am also curious about a new update as you (Nick) had mentioned finding a bug in the oxygen code. When I have a plane full of heavy people (lol) at 29,000ft, I can literally watch the oxygen pressure going down because the code thinks the cabin altitude is also 29,000ft. Just wondering when we could see the latest fixes for the Dukes. Love them as always, of course, and absolutely cannot wait for your Starship! Omg.

If you have the paint kit, what application do you prefer to use to make the liveries?

Glad to hear it!

@Black-Square With some help for the guys over on Spad discord we got it figured out there are two options that you can have I have Engine 1 as the SIMCONNECT version and Engine 2 as the LVAR in the attached screenshot.[image: 1c5b1a47-642e-4d30-a035-09108552df2b.jpg]

All engine damage, performance, and system failure parameters are saved, as well as many flight configuration items, such as fuel and payload. Beyond that, I may go back some day and implement more complete state saving across all my aircraft, but it's quite difficult with the limitations of working within the simulator's JavaScript context, unlike aircraft with WASM and external software to do the heavy lifting. I'm glad you're enjoying the aircraft, and let me know if there is ever anything else I can do for you!
