Update broke cabin heating piston Duke?
-
Cruising at FL260, OAT -32C and I can no longer maintain cabin temperature. Intercooler air is wide open, but I can't get the temperature above about 59 degrees. Had no issues maintaining cabin temperature at this altitude in the release build. Is the Duke just unable to maintain a warm cabin at the high flight levels IRL and this is the new norm?
EDIT: Now I'm at 10,000 and about 2C. Auto heat still won't hold temperature with intercooler air closed.

Thankfully, I see no problem here. I am able to maintain a 92°F/33°C cabin at 30,000ft on a standard day, where the OAT is -48°F/-44°C. Perhaps your combustion heater has suffered a failure? I don't believe I made any changes to the reciprocating engine version's environmental control system.

I am at Palm Springs right now, OAT 111 F, Manual Cool, Hi Vent blower, Cabin Air pulled all the way out, cabin temp struggles to get below 120 F. In the EFB, the little fan icon in the AC compartment does not spin. Not sure if that is related. Bug or m I doing something wrong? No failures. Edit: Turbine Duke

@fdrake On the piston Duke, the A/C compressor runs off the right engine, and it doesn’t kick in unless you have that engine running at least a bit above idle (which I’m told is true to life). I don’t know if the turbine Duke is the same way, but you might try it and see if it helps.
