Piston & Turbine Dukes

@Black-Square It's solved now. Thanks for responding and helping.

Both engines were at 100%. I've only had the Duke package about a week. I can't thing of any other cause, nothing in my Com Folder but scenery and other aircraft. No performance stuff. It's probably not noticeable in most cases, I only noticed in long cruises when in economy mode. It's by no means a "show stopper" just something I noticed and wanted to see if it was a bug or something I'm doing wrong.

That would be a fun feature (and one that would be both fascinating and horrifying in the real world). Unfortunately, Asobo has not made it possible to save any kind of file from the Javascript context, presumably for security reasons. This means that I am limited in the size and formats that I can choose for stored data within the simulator's own state saving, which I have found not to be terribly reliable. I have brainstormed many amazing features that I would add with better or more stable state saving, but that would either require me to build my own internal networking protocol between JS and WASM (I've done that once already for JS to/from RPN), or for something to change on Asobo's side of things. Trust me, I have lots of ideas, and I will add yours to the list!

I would enjoy asymmetric flap extension in aircraft where that is possible. For the Starship in particular, it's theoretically possible for the flaps to become asymmetric, as well as out of sync with the forward wing, which could produce some interesting results. Almost anything is possible in MSFS if you want it badly enough, but the native aerodynamics simulation does not provide any way of achieving this without the kind of creative solutions that I have created for most features in my aircraft.

Fantastic stuff, thanks for the reply and the extra detail.

It seems almost counter-intuitive to use a dedicated heater at all times, when the engines are capable of providing plenty of hot air to the cabin once airborne, but given the age of the aircraft, it was likely a design choice based on cost or complexity or availability of suitable equipment to regulate the temperature. Not sure, but the fact we are asking such questions to understand your aircraft in such depth is a testament to the incredible simulation you've built! :D

Wonderful. I'm so glad I thought of that. Happy flying! There will be a compatibility update for the Dukes soon, so you can look forward to improved visuals and some new walkaround features.

Hello, any news about this issue fix ? maybe in 2024 release please? Thanks !

Hey @Randolf thank you, that's very kind of you. This is exactly what I was trying to do; however, I was trying to follow the manual's instructions for using the sliding arrows, etc from the main configuration window. I wasn't able to enter negative values there (via the RAW button), but via the Developer mode Behaviors I deduced that a negative value was what I needed, so I was very confused. But somehow I didn't notice the min/max boxes in the Assignment window -- I guess I was too focused on the other section.

Thanks again!

Hi,

I had the same problem; really annoying. There is a workaround with the free pms GTN 750. Use the search function of the forum and search for GTN 530.

In short, you can import the atc flightplan (from the world map route manager) with the GTN 750 toolbar button (on the upper edge of the screen) into the GTN 530 .

Kind regards

Yes, that's exactly what I need!

The speed at which you might be able to increment/decrement that variable would be up to the hardware binding software that you're using, but this very simple code will just increment/decrement the variable every time the code is run.

(L:XMLVAR_Cabin_Heat_1_Position, number) ++ 100 min (>L:XMLVAR_Cabin_Heat_1_Position, number) (L:XMLVAR_Cabin_Heat_1_Position, number) -- 0 max (>L:XMLVAR_Cabin_Heat_1_Position, number)

I'm not sure about the earlier posts in this topic, but the Turbine Duke has different fuel capacities in each wing. Since the MSFS payload interface sliders load the aircraft to a given percentage of fuel, I would expect this difference to show up if you load the aircraft with the sliders. The left fuel system has a capacity of 138.4 gallons and the right has 132.5, which would account for your 6 gallon difference if the sliders were set to 100% for both tanks.

It's working fine!

Congratulations !

Thanks for your help. I did search the specific message and there is a lot of information there.

@Avionic

Dear Avionic, I just finished testing again, and for some reason it worked now on both COM1 and COM2. I didn't change anything in FS'20, on the Duke's EFB and neither in the vPilot App. I remember clrearly that it didn't matter what COM was selected TX didn't light up in blue on neither COM1 & COM2.

vPilot done this on my end a few times, usually afer a vPilot update, I start to think I might have to restart the computer after an update, because that is the only thing I have done differently between today's test and last weekend's. There were numerous shut down and turn on cycles.

Anyways, I am glad it is working for now. Now I know it is not an issue with the Duke. Thank you for your ideas and time and effort trying to help. Same goes to @Black-Square .

Wish you all the best and great health and happyness. Cheers.

Interesting. The Turbine Duke and Piston Duke's code should be identical. I can't tell you what that means for your specific issue yet, but it might be some clue in the future. Please let me know what you find. I'll be away from my desk for the next couple of days, but I will get back to you as soon as I can if you need anything else from me. The Just Flight support team is also always there if you need a hand.

Thank you, that is great! Personally, I would still like you to update the A36 as well, since I fly it a lot..
One more request for the A36 (present or future): Adjust the dimensions of the ADI and HSI to the correct ratios.
Sorry for being picky, but I notice it every time..

@Biggles3601 said in Ap and Nav not working in MSFS 24?:

I guess I was just cognitively biased towards expecting something to go wrong in 2024 and was looking out for it.

You're talking to an expert when it comes to this faux pas! It's embarrassing how many hours I have spent trying to track down bugs in my aircraft, only to discover that my MTBF failure system is behaving exactly the way it should, and the only bug is the triggered failure! It makes me very thankful that I don't have to think about debugging code while flying approaches in the real world!
