An update for 2024 compatibility please
-
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. -
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 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
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 didn’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.

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).
