Piston & Turbine Dukes

@Donka I'm glad I could help. I noticed some strange effects with volumes varying during my occasional uses of 2024, and was surprised to find this option lurking in the menus. It's not a bad idea to include such a feature, but didn't like that it was enabled by default.

Nice to know Nick, cheers. CG

I found the key, thanks anyway. FYI it was during the update from the Contrail store and the key is found within their app. The confusion arose when their app invoked an update window with a JUST FLIGHT title border requesting a key that begins with CONT-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX

@Black-Square The funny thing is, I noticed it in 2020. No worries. (Although, I wouldn't mind paying for a separate livery pack or 4 on Xbox....)

I've always assumed that this was by design, but I will ask my sound designer about it.

No it hasn't. I was only referring to the Piston Duke.

Bought both aircraft in 2020 marketplace, can confirm the updates have made it into 2024. Wonderful updates and thank you for continuing to add the PNS750 for us Xbox users.

Do you use FSRealistic?

No Luck so far.

@Black-Square Wait, I mean I knew that turbines are significantly lighter than reciprocating engines, but I hadn't ever thought much of the fact that the empty weight on the piston Dukes is lower, and by a few hundred pounds that can't all come from the second battery. Where could all that extra weight come from? I thought other than the engines, second battery and the requisite differences to the HVAC, pressurization systems and panel they were largely identical?

Understood.

@Iconography think i finally solved the issue just in the fenix now same thing don't see anything moving, so instead of using my key board short cut, i used the menu bar to go to external and now i see every thing moving

I was using Su4. I've just tried it again with the SU4 update from last night and it seems to be OK. Still got the VR problem but at least they are moving now. My bad for not trying it with the current release

I just checked this, and everything appears to be in order, and no different from MSFS 2020. The sequence of aircraft loading in MSFS 2024 is all sorts of confused compared to MSFS 2020, so I suspect the aircraft is still in "motion" when the flight loads, which disables to chocks before you have a chance to see them.

@Mustang said in Ear Discomfort Index: perhaps the sounds could be slowly dulled until you simulate 'popping' your ears I actually thought of this too. It would be a lot of fun, but as you can imagine, I'm always worried about our many niche features resulting in confusion for the more casual users.

@Black-Square you can turn off light shafts in graphics, I just want to see shafts sometimes, like in clouds so I leave it on for now. Would be cool if you could add a realistic landing lights option in tablet maybe.

@Zwoop68 Thanks for the link. I had seen that thread, but given the title, I skipped it. I confirm that's the problem, and now I've solved it. Thanks.

@Zwoop68 That did the trick! Unfortunately, the copilot seems to twitch in the seat a bit. I really hope Asobo rethinks their motives for taking away these options from 3rd party developers.
