Love the sound, but need headphones shortcut!

Can't wait for this update. Flying the Turbine Duke in MS 2020 and the engines are so loud... Been a year since this was first discussed.

@Black-Square Did you find a solution to tune it with legacy mode, or will it be lock mode exclusive?

jmarkows

Don't see why it would be lock mode exclusive, it works just fine in Legacy mode on the Starship now.

Dingle

@jmarkows oh, I thought it's just on and off now. I still thought you cannot tune the level of ANS.

jmarkows

In Legacy mode the click spots are on the left and right of the headphone jack to adjust the noise cancelation instead of scrolling in the middle, but it works.

Dingle

Nice, I didn't know that. Sweet. Thanks

I found that if you adjust the engine sound in MSFS to around 20% with the Turbine Duke, the engine sound in the cockpit is good and you even hear the turbine sound.

Any updates on this? I'd love to be able to have the headphone simulations on the Duke and TBM.

Black Square

It will be in the next Duke update, which should be this week. I've added all the code to the TBM for a future time when I have the resources to build a custom sound package.

@Black-Square Question. Will you need to update the Duke flight model for 2024? The reason I ask is because it feels a little off in 2024, and I have two add-ons from 2020 that no longer feel good in 2024 (Avro RJ and iniBuilds A300). It makes me wonder if the changes in 2024 to how the flight model responds requires updating. It's a more stable, less prone to crosswind FDE. The Duke in 2024 feels a little more twitchy now. So I was thinking it might need a little tweaking is all

Black Square

@Orlaam I agree that all aircraft I have experienced feel noticeably worse in 2024. I find them much less satisfying to fly in my pursuits as a real pilot. I have been hesitant to make adjustments, because there were no advertised differences to existing flight models in 2024, and I think the difference might lie only in control input responsiveness. I have decreased the sensitivities of my controls substantially compared to 2020, and that has helped. Although I don't like making changes at the last moment, I may find the safest variable to tweak on my 2024 updates in an attempt to alleviate this.

@Black-Square I thought the TBM sound package was in work?

Lovely to have the Duke update soon, though!
