Piston & Turbine Dukes

Thank you for your help Zwoop68

Wow, you're absolutely right about that. It appears to be a bug/"feature" of the flight simulator, as the input event "K:PITOT_HEAT_TOGGLE" is completely disabled when there is a pitot blockage. Given what I have seen under the hood of MSFS, I suspect that behavior has been there since at least the early 2000's. I've been contemplating creating my own elaborate simulation of pitot-static effects, which would solve that problem as a side-effect. Thanks for pointing it out. What a tiny detail on the ADF instrument! I've fixed that now. It was very easy, as you said. Thank you!

I think this is clear / resolved now. After I arm APPR, altitude adjustments need to be performed using the pitch knob. If the pilot prefers to use the CWS button, they need to re-arm APPR as AP is temporarily deactivated when CWS is used. I have my Streamdeck + knob set up to zero the pitch knob when pressed, and to apply +1 or -1 to the pitch each time it is turned clockwise/counterclockiwise. Any other inputs or perspectives on this topic would be appreciated. Thoroughly enjoying flying the Turbine Duke ... with each flight I get better and better.

@hangar_101 Bit off topic, but this seems to work also on a TBM. File is ...bksq-aircraft-tbm850/SimObjects/Airplanes/bksq-aircraft-tbm850/model/AnalogTBM.xml and line number 613: [image: 0d699b4f-9c21-4f18-93dd-4946973d1d4f.png]

You can watch both videos where readings are different then what I have posted but both these videos are before the update. It may be that you have corrected the behaviour of manifold pressure at these altitudes or goes wrong. Please guide me on that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YXenEWyGIoM&t=173s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ooXdnkZChJ0&t=121s

@Black-Square said in Unable to match the Climb & Cruise numbers in the manual: What a beautiful screenshot. I don't get to see enough of those online! It seems most social media users fly the big tube-liners, so I rarely get to see the Dukes in use. You are right, but there are a fair amount of screenshots of the Duke and others in various Discord servers. V1's Discord has a lot of fans of GA.
