    Yeah the night lighting sucks. In some planes the bloom is so bad it's hard to see and taxi around at night because it looks like there's a dense fog when the landing/taxi lights are on.

      SU3 did not fix any of the bugs that I have been reporting since release, so I am now implementing all the workarounds necessary to deliver my aircraft as future-proof as possible for MSFS 2024. I suspect that will only take a few days, and we will begin updates next week.

      @Black-Square that sounds amazing. Iโ€˜ve been missing the Dukes since I moved over to MSFS2024. Glad to hear the updates will be rolling out shortly. Will you also bring out an update for the TBM850?

        @piperdriver0624 Of course! It's only my Steam Gauge Overhaul aircraft that will not be joining us in MSFS 2024, because changes to the underlying simulator made that virtually impossible. Instead, there will be Professional Series, which is their replacement with many more features and far better graphics.

          @Black-Square thatโ€™s great to hear. Looking forward to the Professional Series too. Especially the Bonanza has a special place in my hangar ๐Ÿ˜‰.

          Thanks for the reply. Have a nice Sunday.

            @Black-Square in which case I suspect I am going to purchase the TBM850 whilst it is on sale at Just Flight currently. In readiness for the MSFS24 patch/update. A little bank holiday treat for me here in the UK ๐Ÿ™‚

              Quick question on the TBM850 update. Will it include the extras from the Dukes i.e. it's own sound package, stiction on the needles etc.?

                Hi Nick,
                To say we are excited to bring the Duke series into 2024 for our streams is a massive understatement. Unlike others, I have not chosen to port the 2020 version over as I did not want to represent the Duke in a way other than intended. I appreciate the struggles and hard work you've put into this update. I have been compensating by showing of the Starship - but I am getting seriously itchy to jump back into a Bendix cockpit and show off some old fashioned IFR.

                Anyways this message was just one of thanks and encouragement. Looking forward to the impending release!
                Regards,
                Willy.

                  @Black-Square I've been flying the Piston Duke in 2024 for several months and I love it; it's always performed well within my unsophisticated constraints - the steam cockpit just pushes all the right buttons. I prefer it just a wee bit more than the Starship ๐Ÿ˜‰ Currently doing a Duke/Starship tag-team circumnavigation so I'm stoked for this update!

                    If the Duke Piston and Turbine updates for FS2024 installation become available, where do I look for, and download those from? In terms of device and MobiFlight coding, will any LVARs etc. be likely to have changed (or if so, do you have a list of those changes by any chance)?
                    Thanks, John.

                      When you purchased, you were asked if you wanted Just Flight to send you e-mail notifications. I apparently accepted, so I got a message about it. I logged in and downloaded the new version from my store account.

                      If you didnโ€™t accept e-mail notifications, I guess you watch this board.

                        @trisager Oooh, so the MSFS2024 updates are now definitely available for the Black Square Piston and Turbine Dukes? Mmmm, I wish I could locate where to get them. I think my purchase for that bundle was via AeroSoft, but I've searched my accounts with both Just Flight and Aerosoft, and don't see any updates.

                          Sorry, no - I don't think so. I meant to write, I got an e-mail notification about the Starship update. Missed that last bit.

                            Yup, no Duke update yet. That's been my one disappointment as we have been waiting over a year to get an update with the missing canopy rain sounds - the reason I don't fly the Dukes in live weather here in the UK.
                            Hopefully this week though.

                              @Donka That's the plan! Sorry it's taken so long. It's been about a year, because I was hoping to release an update within days of MSFS 2024's release, if possible. Unfortunately, an ever retreating goalpost for developers has me finally releasing them now, with bugs that have still been present since its release. This is a broken record for anyone following all my threads on the subject here, but I know that can be a lot to read in a lot of different unrelated discussions.

                                  I'm mainly looking forward to the 2020 update, as I haven't moved over to 2024 for any 'formal' flying. I think the 2020 update has been baked and out of the oven a while but is held up by the turbulent 2024 situation. Main areas I'm excited about:

                                  • Headphone simulation
                                  • Rain sounds
                                  • Better click-spots for cowl flaps (hopefully) and maybe the wing anti-ice switch (fiddly to flick it down)
                                  • Fuel levels saving correctly (not sure if that fix is in), maybe a few other persistency elements
                                  • Some other stuff I likely read about and have since forgotten!

                                  The update might also see me switch to 2024 at last, since the Duke is the main aircraft I'm flying these days (I tend to spend months with one aircraft at a time, as if I own it).
