Piston & Turbine Dukes

The pitch on AP works extremely well and when used with the VSR function on the TDS GTN750XI allows absolute precision for altitude requirements

@piperdriver0624
Yep. Works.

Thanks for clarifying!

From what you describe, I have the same problem. I posted about it a few days ago. No answer, no reaction from the crowd. I wounder if that is turbulences...

Absolutely wonderful! Thank you so much for sharing your progression. As you may have seen me say elsewhere, I had hoped the tablet would be a learning too, first and foremost. Hearing that I succeeded really makes my day :)

My third flight in my Grand Duke and I get that.

Aircraft veered off course on autopilot. FD was indicating a turn which did not match the course. The VSI began to wobble some which got worse over time. No fuses were blown.

The only thing I could figure out to do (apart from reset it in the tablet) was to turn off AP, fly by hand using the right side VSI, set up for the ILS so I had a good long straight final and fly visually once I got the airport in sight.

It's amazing how some of these things can escape me for the hours I spend looking at them... Those are supposed to be two different numbers for the piston version and turbine version, and the bottom number is supposed to be the maximum demonstrated crosswind component. Fixed now. Thanks for pointing it out.

I've heard this about a few of the clickspots in my aircraft. I've never exerted any control over the cursor icons before, and have no idea how to do so, but I will look into it and see if there is something I can do.

I have noticed this as well. I think the prop spinners are possibly actually not animated when the engine is running, and that may be why this is.

With that being said, if the icing on the spinners was symmetrical, similar to the picture below, this would not be noticeable ;D

I just spent about an hour looking into this, because I can't let something like this go either once I've seen it. I thought it was something with the font, but the font widths appear to be perfect. It's not the bearing, and it's not the kernings, and every single point on every single glyph is at the correct horizontal location to the integer...

I'll try to keep this short by telling you where I stopped for the night... I stopped when I realized that setting different font sizes would change whether the numbers moved to the left or right...

I'll see if I can find someone who knows fonts better than I do to look at this, but in the meantime, I hope you don't mind that this is not particularly high on the priority list. I assure you that it will hurt me deep inside every time I see it now, though.

Real smokers just flick the ash out the window anyhow or use a beer can ;-)

Sounds good. I figured as much regarding the "on" setting. Thanks for clarifying.

Hey, that just means you're flying like the real pilot that you are! I'm not going to fault anyone for having fun with flight simulator, but neither of us would choose to be PIC of an airplane that we had not fully acquainted ourselves with on the ground and in the literature first. It actually delights me to hear that you're taking the aircraft so seriously, because that's how it was designed to be treated.

@Burnhaven I think I have the Throttles, Prop and Mix just set in MSFS and not with any other hardware addons. I have no issue with the TPM levers.

I also just added my CH Product Throttle Quad to my simpit to get more 2 way switches and additional levers. It something I've be meaning to do for a bit now but havent gotten around to it until today. I have so many usb devices hooked to my system its crazy. I think I'm at close to 30 usb ports used now?!

Heres a 40 sec video showing the CH Quad and where I mounted it in the sim.

You're right about that! I see exactly where that was accidentally removed between my TBM and the Dukes. Thanks for pointing it out. Fixed it already!

Fixed. Thanks for the screenshot!

I've never encountered an ELT in real life that produces any audible sound unless you have your headset on and are tuned to 121.50. I've wanted to implement this (along with ELT triggering from hard landings, as many instructors know well) for a while now, but just haven't gotten around to it.

Thanks for the video. That's really bizarre. Unfortuately, I would have loved to see my payload interface too, since that would give us an idea of what the variables were actually doing, not just what the native payload interface was showing. I've checked over the code again, and I really see nothing wrong on my end. The native payload manager is notoriously buggy when it comes to updating and reading the payload variables, so I would not be surprised if this was a simulator level weirdness. If you're willing to look into this a little more, I would suggest removing any payload addons from your community folder, and then trying to adjust the copilot's occupancy from my payload interface. Sorry this is interfering with your peaceful flying with my aircraft!

Thanks for the suggestion. Will do!
