Hi all,Well, actually I am an "another product" customer and quite satisfied with the that product, but this doesn't affect my decision to purchase the PMDG one as I believe both have their own highlights. Without loss of generality a great number of customer have the same choice as mine. BTW to all people that it is nonsense attacking another product using words like "rubbish" as they certainly is not and also deserve the praise for those who have been dedicated to the development and continuation of the FlightSim community. In other words, buy or not is your own idea, but insulting another develop team is never appreciated. The community contains much more than PMDG actually accounts though PMDG is always regarded as a leading force.I'd be grateful if any of you agrees with my opinions.Thank you all.Albus Cai

I agree, but i never saw anyone who likes PMDG over another one, that open a thread to bash the other developer.It's always the same people that bash PMDG, about anything they can think off.I you don't want people bashing other developers just don't come here bashing PMDG. (i'm not talking about you...)I just do't like any of these "bashing" post.Sorry for my english

I'm going to let this stand because it's not negative - if it goes negative however I will not hestitate to lock and delete it - we will not be doing bash threads here.

Well, the competitor of PMDG isn't bad, if PMDG did not exist then I bought that one. But PMDG exists and my preference lies there, so in all respect to the competitor... I stay with PMDG. I really trust PMDG with what "she" offers for the money and each cent is it worth.

To take the attention from the competitor of PMDG's plane, I'm coming up with a little question that has nothing at all to with any of PMDG planes.Looking through the pages of some old threads I realized that many people were talking about the RealAir Duke. I looked the screenshots and description of its features in RealAir website and it seems to be a really good airplane. I read a review of it here in AVSim and the reviewer seems to have nothing to complain about. Now I'm seriously considering to spend some money in the Turbine Duke to increment my fleet. I just wanted some final opinions about what do you think of the airplane. What you liked about it, what were the issues you found... That kind of thing.

One of the best GA aircraft ever made for FSX. I recommend it with no reservations - get an RXP GNS unit for it too, makes it a lot better navigation-wise.

I saw that. Looks great as well. The problem is that I can't afford spending another $50 bucks with the RXP. I've already bought the J41, now the Duke, I'm saving to buy the NGX... Living with an allowance from my father isn't exactly the best way to get rich :(. The good part is that I don't have to work :(. Although if I had a job I could buy much more addons. At my age, the only bills I pay are of the addons I buy.I was also considering the QW757, but I already have a jet, have a supersornic cruiser, a regional turboprop... Currently I'm trying to expand the variety of my fleet. I've found the GA, the short to medium range jet is on the way, but still need to find a good regional jet. A CRJ would be nice, but I'm still searching the right one. Any recommendations?

The RXP unit is pretty amazing, I had no trouble at all using a real life GNS430W on a ride a while back after using the RXP one - it's identical.

I can agree with the OP's statement.. Seeing as I fly many add-ons from many different developers I think almost all birds have their place in the MSFS world.. Is just a matter of what you are looking to get out of an add-on.. Cause I think we have reached a point where most add-on's are going to graphically look pretty good. Just a matter of how in depth you want the systems to be, and what you intend on doing with the aircraft. Granted if there are 2 similar birds and one of the dev's is PMDG I will go with PMDG every single time cause when I buy a tube I want all the systems simulated as closely as possible. I just think not everyone has the time to go through lots of checklists, or in other cases they just don't have the money to buy multiple products. I have toyed around with getting the RXP unit for the J41 for some time now.. That is one of those purchases I just can't bring myself to do when it costs nearly as much as an aircraft. Granted it would be nice to fill in the blank screen in my J41, but I am holding on to my money for the NGX.. Or that secret project A2A announced a few days ago.. Curious to see what that might be.

+1, with all the goodies turned on (VC reflections etc.) it pins my gtx480. I "retired" all my heavy iron aircraft and have been flying nothing but the Turbine Duke recently and absolutely love it. A beautiful crisp VC makes flying the Turbine Duke extremely satisfying and very enjoyable. Personally, the fidelity of the VC is paramount for immersion and from what we have seen so far, the PMDG NGX is about to raise the bar very seriously (I believe more significantly than many realize). Adding to this, the real world systems modeling and HGS etc., will make it the “gold standard” of add-on aircraft making it very difficult to rationalize other purchases for the seriously flight simmer.

Well, actually I am an "another product" customer and quite satisfied with the that product, but this doesn't affect my decision to purchase the PMDG one as I believe both have their own highlights. Without loss of generality a great number of customer have the same choice as mine. BTW to all people that it is nonsense attacking another product using words like "rubbish" as they certainly is not and also deserve the praise for those who have been dedicated to the development and continuation of the FlightSim community. In other words, buy or not is your own idea, but insulting another develop team is never appreciated. The community contains much more than PMDG actually accounts though PMDG is always regarded as a leading force.

It is my favourite too...and it's so stable when hand flown!David Di Domizio

The Real Air Duke you all are referring to, is that the turbine duke or the B60?
