Piston & Turbine Dukes

It remains a mystery to me as to why this LUA script does not work for the right mags in the BKSQ Piston Dukes, but it does work for the left mags. And on top of that, this same script works both mags without any issues in the BKSQ Baron. Until I can figure this out, I decided to bind the BU0836X mag switches directly in MSFS, and both mags are working as expected. What a fun plane to fly!

@Black-Square said in Thanks Nick:

Thank you for taking the time to write and let me know what you think of the aircraft. As much as I am guilty of enjoying the praise, the real reward is knowing that there are virtual pilots out there engaging with my aircraft as deeply as they were designed to be engaged with. I know that my brand of "unapologetic realistism" is not for everyone, but I know there is a certain constituent of simulator users who would settle for nothing less, because I am one of them! Thanks again, and please let me know if there is ever anything I can do to help improve your experience!

You really do take it up a level compared to even a lot of the major players, and my only issue with Black Square products is that there's just one of you because if you made more planes I'd likely never fly anything else again.

I have been spending a bunch of time recently in a certain 50s vintage propliner made by a large flight sim studio (who shall deliberately remain nameless, I'm not here to disparage anyone specifically), and while she's one of the most fun and rewarding planes to fly IMHO, when listening to the purr of the engines at 13,000ft, all I wanted to do was tap on the damn gauges. I thought "wouldn't it be fun if engine four was reading a higher fuel flow because it's stuck?"

It's that extra mile you go through with all those tiny little things that make your aircraft feel so damn alive. It's such a small thing that it makes flying some other products infuriating because, if they put just a bit more TLC into them, they could be the same way.

Plus your support is top notch. Sometimes it feels like other developers put a plane out and forget it in lieu of the shiny, new one they just put out, but you put how many man-hours into poking the WT AP looking for an issue with the Caravan that affected maybe 12 people here on the forums?

I've been at the point where my sim time is drastically exceeded by the number of planes I have/want to fly for a while now, but your aircraft are always at the front of the purchase line.

Throttle1=-24000,-512,512,16380/32 for My DUKE ОК!

Maybe I'll tweak it and get -23,000, too.
Many Thanks!

@SMN204 I'm using K:AVIONICS_MASTER_1_ON and K:AVIONICS_MASTER_1_OFF events. You should be able to find those among in the list of events in FSUIPC, no need to define your own for them.

Thanks brennan. Could you please elaborate what you meant by entering Beta range ? Found the Beta range in the manual.
Checked and it is the cause.
Thanks

It is easy made with the MSFS controls. With Honeycomb Alpha in my case, but also can be made with other hardware. Magneto-Srarter knob.jpg

Hope this help.

As always, a problem with the Community Folder. Wrong gtn750 folder. subfolder gtn750 👍🏻

Thanks for the explanation.

@ExcessionOCP I can confirm that this mapping works for me too (and is not flaky at all), provided the new v1.1 tablet option “Control AP Pitch with Hardware Events” is enabled. Thanks for the tip! I also can't quite remember what the MSFS binding is called. It isn't quite what you wrote you above, but there are not many to choose from along those lines.

I mapped it to the IAS button on my Honeycomb Bravo. Press and hold while adjusting pitch, then let go to keep that pitch. I presume this isn't a realistic option for the Century IV (the manual doesn't say either way) but it is convenient!

I thought I'd tag in @flying_drunkard in case this was still an unsolved point.

N1930G. It doesn't take it at all no matter how much I try. My best guess is that whatever aggressive censorship algorithm Microsoft has implemented thinks that N193 looks like the first few letters in a certain word that they don't want to allow, but just a wild guess. It accepts N1903G.

Your workaround worked though! Thanks.

@hangar_101 said in Event for "green course bug" HSI ?:

I have not tested it but I believe the events HEADING_BUG_DEC & HEADING_BUG_INC might do the same job as well.

This is work in FSUIPC!!
(>K:HEADING_BUG_DEC)
(>K:HEADING_BUG_INC)

Thanks!

Many thanks !!!

@hangar_101 yes, not all the breakers are shown on the diagram, only some main busses - those which affect multiple circuits, not individual circuit breakers which should be obvious in what they connect.

Figured it out. It was an engine failures bug. Turned off failures and all worked as it should. Thanks for all the suggestions!

@Black-Square So you changed the time displayed as HOBBS time with the engine time with this update?

I stumbled across, because I set the Hobbs hours in the state.cfg of the Grand Duke to match the hours of my Duke in FSEconomy, right after my first installation after release.
But after the update it shows the engine time (the numbers don't match on the screenshots of the CFG and the hobbs meter, because I did one flight in between. But instead of the saved "57x.." hobbs time, it shows the "47x.." engine time.)

It's no problem, but I'm just curious to know if it's on purpose. Perhaps I edit the engine time in the cfg, to match my FSE Duke hobbs hours again. :)

I would have imagined everything as normal, but pressure left at SL which will cover heights to 10000. I await more learned info on this one!
