May 5, 200917 yr Robert Young,I feel compelled to express my appreciation for your Duke. I am a retired commercial pilot that has been flying the computer for almost two decades. I have always considered the light twin the pinnacle of airplanes that are fun to fly. Accordingly I have purchased many an add-on hoping to find one that would yield an accurate simulation of the light twin experience. A few have come pretty close in one or two areas only to drop the ball in other areas. Your Duke has nailed it in my opinion. I don't know how to explain it, but the RealAir Duke just feels correct and sounds correct. It is fun to fly like a light twin should be. And I have talked to some of my peers who also bring thousands of hours of real world flight experience to the table and they agree the Duke is the best yet. Good job Mr. Young.Best regards,Bill "A good landing is one you can walk away from. An excellent landing is one you can taxi away from."

May 6, 200917 yr It's very kind of you to take the trouble to say that and much valued. Thank you. I'll pass that on to Sean, my partner.All the best,Rob - RealAirI have to ditto the comments. I am flying a flight to the Ozarks tomorrow (a place I have never been). I fired up fsx to get some situational awareness, and the Duke to get some familiar Beech feelings.The fsx scenery was close-but the handling of the Beech again blew me away. The handling and joy of flying a Beech is right on-how you get that on a flat desktop with pathetic controls is beyond me-but it is there-that is how it feels! Geofa WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE-the best Flight Sim!
