Turbo Commander Progress
-
Been flying the crap out of the turbine duke amazing product. Used to fly all the king air series IRL and the way the turbine duke sounds and operates is hands down top notch. I also flew the 690B IRL and is my favorite turbo prop to date beside the Cheyenne 400LS. Reason I’m inquiring on this side of community is trying to get in touch with the DEV team to see if I would be able to help with testing as i fly daily in sim and in VR. 17 years experience IRL in most turbo props and last gig was straight 525. (Really looking forward to the 690) also waiting on the B200
@Grauadler Glad you're looking forward to it. I've actually been doing screenshots and preparing a news update about the Twin Commanders for very soon. I've had a lot of people get in touch with real world Commander experience, and one of them was nice enough to host me for sound recording and flying so I could learn the feel of the aircraft first hand. I will add your username to the growing list if the time comes that I need more testers. Thank you very much for volunteering!

@Black-Square can’t wait but these soon news are taking toooooo long
@ramonesg I wanted to have the news update done for Monday, but my house was struck by lightning last night causing some damage, and I'm still discovering what has been fried. The strike blew some light switches straight out of the wall and across the room! Luckily, all my aircraft are safe, but my video editing computer (which I was using at the time) seems to have received some damage. Hopefully I will be back up and running with a recovered disk this week, and there was no actual damage to the hardware.

@Black-Square sorry to hear that but glad to hear you're ok.

Hope everything is well now!

I’m excited to see the Garrett TPE331’s get Black Square love. I can’t wait to fly low, loud and fast in undisclosed locations around the world.
@McOatmeal I am too! Im looking forward to USFS flying with it personally.
Oh and I must say- The 17%APR attached to your post had me rolling!! Dont stress it too much, the career does get better. -
@Black-Square I never did get a response to several emails I sent to you after you said you were open to my help. FYI
I realize it's early and probably/hopefully to be fixed, but in today's update it shows two shots of the Turbo Commander shut down with the props feathered. This is an abnormal condition and they should be flat/zero pitch if properly put on the start locks at shutdown

Hey @Black-Square I was wondering: Does the upcoming Commander still have the same shortcomings with the mixture and the leaning procedure? I know you told me that you where going to solve this in the future, but I dont remember if the solution was coming with the commander or the twin commander
