September 26, 201312 yr No kidding. We had a Duke convention here a few weeks ago, these things look amazing up close!

September 26, 201312 yr Is version 2 just the piston one or the turbine as well? I had the turbine on my short list to buy due to I love the B58 since FS2004 (and had the Dreamfleet B58 for that) but the extreme short field capability of the turbine B60 has me interested in it vs. the piston version. Basically I don't want to buy the current turbine version if V2 is a new version of that.

Pretty sure he's going to give the Turbine the same makeover afterward. Gregg Seipp "A good landing is when you can walk away from the airplane.

Hmmm, I'll watch pricing when it comes out and see if there is any upgrade pricing for V1 owners. If there is and it's not bad, I could jump on the turbine anyway and just upgrade to V2 when it finally comes.

September 26, 201312 yr The turbine looks really nice, it's just a little older-looking than their Legacy, which looks exceptional. I have both the V1 piston, turbine and Legacy.

September 26, 201312 yr In the original posting where the v2 piston Duke was announced, Rob did say something about a Turbine Duke update sometime later. If you have the Legacy, you've got an idea of how good the new piston Duke will be, as many of the changes update things like sounds and animations to Legacy standards. In case some haven't seen it, here's a link to the posting which contained a list of some of the new features: http://forum.avsim.net/topic/414059-beechcraft-b60-turbine-duke-vc-texture-update/#entry2738278 .The current plane is already great - this should be amazing. For current Turbine Duke owners, if you missed this, in that same thread is information on some very nice panel upgrades a gentleman did for the Turbine Duke which are available in the Avsim library.

September 27, 201312 yr Is that front wheel turning sideways when retracting? I don't recall seeing that in the current Duke. It does (and it is modeled in the current Duke). Bert
September 27, 201312 yr Great news! As a loyal customer of RealAir (you´ll never go wrong with one of their, always spot on, just like PMDG for the bigger boys) and lover of the Duke I´m really looking forward to it. It never seemed to me that the Duke was lacking so much as Robert told all the new features. Btw I got the Legacy too but I just ain´t that much fun as with the twins. The look is spectacular nethertheless! Best regards, Steffen Fight time: NGX 737-700: 37,0h; -800: 47,2h
December 11, 201312 yr I wonder if we may see a version 2 of the Turbine Duke as well. I for my part mostly fly the turbine version. Dave P. Woycek
December 11, 201312 yr Yes there will be a Turbine Duke upgrade, but please don't ask when. We're working on it currently. Best Wishes, Rob - RealAir Robert Young - retired full time developer - see my Nexus Mod Page and my GitHub Mod page
