Love the sound, but need headphones shortcut!

I have already implemented headphone cables and clickspot in all of my standalone aircraft, and you are able to adjust the amount of active noise cancellation by scrolling your mouse wheel on the clickspot (there is also a variable for cockpit builders). I apologize that it has taken this long for an update to the Dukes, but I thought MSFS 2024 compatibility would be a relatively easy task to be done soon after it was released. Alas, the goalpost is still receding with SU2, but I promise that I will have something for you soon.

@Black-Square this implementation will be available in the next update or it's currently present?

The next update, along with MSFS 2024 compatibility.

I recently turned on the headphones simulation in 2020 through the menus, but I actually didn't like it (certainly in comparison with the Comanche's custom implementation). So while I am excited for the next Duke update, I'm cautiously interested to see whether the variable noise cancellation (great idea!) works quite as well or if I'll prefer it switched off.
I think I have become accustomed to the volume of the Duke in cruise now. It's when switching to the external view for screenshots that my ear drums are assaulted!
I know it's realistic, but it would nice if the internal/external volume could be better balanced for my own sake, and that of anyone in earshot! Not sure if it could be handled via the tablet, or if it's baked into the simulation (perhaps a .cfg file edit). Maybe another idea for the list.I know the 2020 Duke update won't launch before the 2024 update is ready, as that might cause chaos and frustration, but at this point I'm cursing 2024 for dragging general progress down for 2020 products

@Black-Square Did you find a solution to tune it with legacy mode, or will it be lock mode exclusive?
-
Any updates on this? I'd love to be able to have the headphone simulations on the Duke and TBM.
-
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

@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!

I actually think the 2024 flight model is more enjoyable than 2020 overall. I am not a real pilot, but when I watch videos of landings, the 7-10 knot winds aren't blowing planes all over the place and pushing them off the runway, which is how I feel 2020 and previous versions of MSFS do. The iFly 737 MAX is great in both 2020 and 2024, but when you touchdown in 2024, the MAX doesn't try and run off the runway. The controller input for crosswind input is less extreme, thus to me it's better. The Starship handles great in both sims as well. The differences between aircraft can be very vast though, and I assume it's how they tweaked the FDE. It seems one can overcome the minutia of oddities in MSFS if done right. The Starship certainly seems to overcome some problems MSFS inherently has, albeit accounting for the drag of the props or canard wing.
