February 12, 201115 yr Hi folks,I´m another proud owner of the RealAir Beech Duke and I´ve seen on the website that the turbine version is comming soon. It will take the allready very good performance of the Duke in another area. Does someone know the relaese date or whether the current Duke owners get a discount? Best regards, Steffen Fight time: NGX 737-700: 37,0h; -800: 47,2h
February 12, 201115 yr Hi Superpilotv2,I am not aware of any official release date from Realair. So I am checking the Realair website daily (even hourly) hoping to see the Turbine Duke. And, I suspect I am not alone regarding that behavior. I doubt if there will be a discount, as I understand the turbine version has required substantial development beyond the original.

February 12, 201115 yr Rob from RealAir did say that in fact there would be a discount for current Duke owners.Someone who spoke with RealAir via e-mail said they mentioned Feb,for release,.For what that's worth

February 12, 201115 yr Thanks. I want her right away!You are not alone there !! My only question is whether to get the RXP GNS530 / GNS430 or not, since I will be spending a lot more time in the Duke with the new capabilities it has !!!G Gary Davies aka "Gazzareth" Simming since 747 on the Acorn Electron

February 12, 201115 yr You are not alone there !! My only question is whether to get the RXP GNS530 / GNS430 or not, since I will be spending a lot more time in the Duke with the new capabilities it has !!!GI would sure recommend the RXP units. They look so nice and add a lot to the sim. I too am waiting for the upgraded Duke. The RXP units are nice in the Orbx Lancair also. I now fly the Duke and Lancair about 95% of the time. I was just thinking this morning that it is going to take a lot to get me to move to the new flight that is down the road. I can not imagine trying to fly with out Real Air and Orbx. The Duke and Lancair just simply leave the other GA developers in the dust. Of course the Flight One Mustang is an exception to that rule for the small jet guys.

February 13, 201115 yr I think I´ll leave the avionics how they are, cause the RXP gauges will eat some more frames and I don´t have too much of them.Actually when I put the RXP GNS430 in the regular Duke, my FPS got noticeably better. The default GPS is AWFUL on FPS. Tired of Streetlights everywhere? Try MSFS DarkStreets today!

February 13, 201115 yr Really? That´s somehow strange.The recent RealityXP GNS updates include some code for moving the GPS to a different CPU core than the one the primary FS thread runs on, so it's no mystery to me that performance could be better than what you get using a GPS that's stuck competing with all the other things the FS core is doing.RegardsBob ScottColonel, USAF (ret)ATP IMEL Gulfstream II-III-IV-VColorado Springs, CO Bob Scott | President and CEO, AVSIM Inc ATP Gulfstream II-III-IV-V Sys1 (MSFS20+24/XPlane12+11): AMD 9800X3D, water 2x240mm, MSI MPG X670E Carbon, 64GB GSkill 6000/30, nVidia RTX4090FE Alienware AW3821DW 38" 21:9 GSync, 2x4TB Crucial T705 PCIe5 + 2x2TB Samsung 990 SSD, EVGA 1000P2 PSU, 12.9" iPad Pro Thrustmaster TCA Boeing Yoke, TCA Airbus Sidestick, Twin TCA Airbus Throttle quads, PFC Cirrus Pedals, Coolermaster HAF932 case Sys2 (P3Dv5/v4): i9-13900KS, water 2x360mm, ASUS Z790 Hero, 32GB GSkill 7800MHz CAS36, ASUS RTX4090 Samsung 55" JS8500 4K TV@60Hz, 3x 2TB WD SN850X 1x 4TB Crucial P3 M.2 NVME SSD, EVGA 1600T2 PSU Fiber link to Yamaha RX-V467 Home Theater Receiver, Polk/Klipsch 6" bookshelf speakers, Polk 12" subwoofer, 12.9" iPad Pro PFC yoke/throttle quad/pedals with custom Hall sensor retrofit, Thermaltake View 71 case, Stream Deck XL button box Sys3 (DCS/P3Dv4/ATS/ETS): AMD 7800X3D, MSI MPG X870E Carbon, Noctua NH-D15S, 64GB GSkill 6000/30, EVGA RTX3090 Alienware AW3420DW 34" 21:9 GSync, Corsair HX1000i PSU, 4TB Crucial T705 PCIe5 + 2TB Samsung 970Evo Plus, TM TCA Officer Pack, Saitek combat pedals, TM Warthog, TM RS300 FF wheel/pedals, Coolermaster HAF XB case
February 13, 201115 yr You are not alone there !! My only question is whether to get the RXP GNS530 / GNS430 or not, since I will be spending a lot more time in the Duke with the new capabilities it has !!!GThat is an easy question... the RXP units are so much betterthan the FSX default, and the RealAir Duke integration is so welldone, that getting a 530 or 430 is a no-brainer IMHO.Now you can do GPS approaches with lateral and vertical guidanceand you have terrain awareness.. etc etcAs for fps impact.. none that I have experienced.

February 14, 201115 yr Must admit that the vc with the 530 & 430 looks fantastic but the cost is a bit steep. If you want the ability to crossfeed then it is insane....G Gary Davies aka "Gazzareth" Simming since 747 on the Acorn Electron

If you want the ability to crossfeed then it is insane....GCompared to what I pay for the certified sim software RXP is way cheap! In fact one hour of rental for the Diamond DA40 pays for unlimited usage of the RXP suite!
