February 11, 201016 yr Thanks all. I think I am going with the Duke. Will the Duke run on Windows 7 64bit? Can't seem to find the system specs anywhere.Like a scalded cat. Dan George (woodhick)Check out Greenbrier Aero Club, the VA for and about the GA pilot.
February 11, 201016 yr On my system at least this causes a significant loss of frames, surprising really considering system modeling is no more sophisticated than the 260 for example which has excellent FPS.Nope. The Duke has a very large increase of polygons compared to the SF260, has almost twice the number of gauges, has textures of higher resolution, has more detailed bump mapping, has a huge suite of stereo seperated sounds, and the list goes on. You cannot expect the same performance, but the new patch gives detail options.Rob - RealAir Robert Young - retired full time developer - see my Nexus Mod Page and my GitHub Mod page
February 11, 201016 yr Hello Robert! Is it true that you're working on a Royal Turbine version?Thank You

February 12, 201016 yr If You can afford, go for both!Totally different planes, but awesome in terms of quality, FPS friendly.Duke is the only small twin prop which I fly now.Catalina has outstanding detail, but I think it will be difficult to fly without TrackIR. It is slow, demanding and glide prety well in case of an engine failure.Go for both, really! Bartłomiej Ender
February 12, 201016 yr Yes we are.Cheers,Rob WEEEEDOGY I can't wait. "A good landing is one you can walk away from. An excellent landing is one you can taxi away from." Bill in Colorado: Retired Comm: ASEL/AMEL/Instrument CFI: ASEL/AMEL/Instrument
February 12, 201016 yr Ok. I got the Duke last night. I did a quick test flight and not bad. My only concern is that the graphics are not as crisp. The panel is a bit blurry or hazy. Any suggestions? I have everything set at highest quality with AA and AF at 8X.
February 12, 201016 yr Yes we are.Cheers,RobExcellent news Rob! Don't mean to sound cheeky but would this be a discreet buy even for owners of the Duke or do you have any plans of a discounted price for such individuals?Looking forward for it regardless as a turbine Duke would be usable with the small airfields in PNW! :(

I have everything set at highest quality with AA and AF at 8X.Could you post a screenshot? My PC and video card are somewhat dated and it is one of the best looking panels I've seen.

February 13, 201016 yr Yes we are.Cheers,RobI cant believe this!! I love the duke.... my favorite plane just got better!! :( :(
February 13, 201016 yr Those 3D Gauges are so beautiful!!!! I find it very hard to fly any other GA aircraft when the Duke is available in the hanger :(
February 14, 201016 yr Yes we are.Cheers,Robis turbo duke something near term or more distant.... I know you can't be specific, but trying to budget my FSX add-on dollars. :( Not complaining if more distant.....
