Doubled fuel filler in grand Duke?
-
Hello,
Just find that piston Duke have one filler but grand have two. Bug with copied / paste ?
If it's not a mistake, then do the nameplates indicating the amount of fuel show the same values? I don't think so.
Capacity Each Tank: 103.5 (B60) / 118.5 (Grand Duke) U.S. Gal.Maybe some of us have photos from RL wing :)

Yes, the Grand Duke and Turbine Duke (by way of requiring the Grand Duke package) both have two fuel filler locations on each wing. There is an additional tank at the tip of the wing that adds the extra capacity, and the fuel simply gravity feeds from the higher tank to the lower tank. I asked two Duke owners about filling the Duke, and they indicated that it should be filled from the higher port, and treated as if it is just one large tank.

This shows how excellently you pay attention to details. I am very impressed that such details do not escape your notice and contribute to the uniqueness of the airplanes you create. More and more often, we find that what we might consider a bug, often due to difficult access to original documentation, actually turns out to be correct and intentional."

And it's your attention and appreciation for these details that makes it worth while for me to implement them! Thank you for your message :)
