    Actually only the non-printer-friendly manuals seem to be linked, but I believe Nick creates alternative manuals without the dark background. How do I find those for both of the Dukes?

    Problem solved, reinstalled it to a different folder (short path name) using the BROWSE option in the command line.
    Example:
    Open command line window (CMD)
    Drag and Drop the installation exe file to the CMD window
    Add a space + BROWSE in front of the exe filename and click ENTER

    The installation process will allow you to choose the installation folder.

    @Gilandred said in ATT autopilot mode unexpected results:

    Not sure how it would be a binding conflict as I’m pressing the ATT button directly in the virtual cockpit.

    I understand, but a lot of strange behavior occurs in the sim with conflicts you may be unaware of. Do you use any keyboard commands for anything? I use the TDS GTN750, as mentioned above being an issue, but I do not have ATT problems. I do not use dual GPS. When I click the necessary AP mode it works, but I have had the glideslope stop capturing.

    Looking for an update on this as well. The missing rain sounds are a real immersion killer.

    I am confused a little by this ... the Duke manual indicates that "No additional packages should be required from PMS to enable all WTT-Mode features in this aircraft". By 'all', doesn't mean everything? It seems if I want all the features, I have to buy the PMS Premium version. Is that correct, or am I doing something wrong causing me to be unable to access some features which are currently greyed out?

    Yes, when in ATT mode, that coding works perfectly for pitch control.

    Sorry. "Dripping" is not the word I meant to use. I meant to say oozing immersion.

    Well I went on Snapfish and made up two coffee mugs of my own as they were just 6 bucks each and I couldnt decide if I like the black or white mug better. Heres a video showing the mockup mugs. I'm left handed so I wanted the main logo to show out.

  • Propeller feather binding?

    Thanks, I ended up achieving this by coding the HCB via Mobiflight:
    -4096 (>K PROP_PITCH1_SET) and -4096 (>K PROP_PITCH2_SET)
    ... and make sure you delete any other feather bindings in MSFS you may have previously had.
    Once I pass either prop. lever through detent it selects full feather on that prop., but I assume there is not a graduation possibility in any case. I have checked the movement and each prop. RPM operates independently into feather as above.

    I have a question though, if I leave the prop levers at full fine, and shut the engines down, the blades appear to be in full feather when they stop (despite not moving the prop . levers at all) ... is this correct?

    Do you perhaps have any pics/vids of your panel when trying to intercept radials - would make it easier to detect anything wrong. Sounds like you are doing things correctly.
    I just know, that for me it has been working fine for me intercepting VOR radials. So there is likely not anything fundamentally wrong with the Duke.

    Simhagers solution in 24 similar to 20. Bind feather 1 button to hold prop reverse thrust AND increase prop 1 pitch. Similar for prop 2. This means both feather buttons are mapped to hold prop reverse thrust. Just like windows 11 is a reskin of windows 10, fs24 looks better but none of the problems have been fixed. Microsoft.

    @Black-Square
    I have a consistent way to replicate the issue.
    My TDS folder for the GTN750Xi is outside the community one so that I can show the instruments on a separate monitor.
    If I choose to use in the aircraft the GBS530/430 combo, the the APP will not show as active BUT eventually the localizer will be captured. Not the Glide/Slope.
    Using the KX instruments will bring back the APP showing as expected and the GS to be captured correctly.

    @rondon9897 You set up the standby frequency and then swap it to active. You can only alter the frequency that is in the standby box (right side), once swapped to active it cannot be altered. This way you always have your "next" frequency tuned and ready for use.

    @Ipf5ZDco16 I would guess the priming rate is part of the special engine simulation code and is probably not something that we can modify as end users.
