FSX-MS Real Air Duke v2.0 Released

[Tim-HH 572]

These could take the v2 Duke to yet another level.

Really.

Absolutely! That would be an excellent addition to an already great addon.

Hello

I was wondering if anyone knows the answer:

 

No matter what cowling setting I use oil/CHT values never redline. If I ram the throttle and leave it all the way open for as along as I want, nothing happens to the engine. You can actually redline all gauges and the plane still flies perfectly. Is it a glitch in the model?

In addition, the windsheild never freezes, nor does the pitot tube. Is this poor modelling again?

 

Thanks

mine actually did redline twice over californina, which caught me by suprise, i was climbing from 14k to 18, and got alarm on panel, so i know it works, and weather was nice, so maybe hit some hot airpockets over ca.

My values go over temp as well...  usually in CA lol (but I do a lot of my flying here online at Pilot Edge)

 

I don't know of any sim/addon with windshield freezing 

 

But the pitot port will freeze... happens to me when I fly near my hometown in northern MN.

 

Perhaps try a reinstall?  Also confirm you're using the Duke on FSX boxed and not SE?  I'm not sure if it works in SE.

I've had engines blow, overheat, etc. Cowl flap management and power settings do matter (especially with the turbo).

Pitot freeze in moisture is also quite common.

Maybe tou have "easy" settings activated (don't where that would be except FSX general settings).

To the best of my knowledge, RealAir did not model engine failures in the piston (B60) Duke, V1 or V2.  The Turbine Duke has them (both adjust-ably random and based on abuse), but not the piston Duke.  As for the rest, I can certainly mismanage the engines and get CHT's to redline.  Steep climb with cowl flaps closed will do it even in reasonably cool conditions.  Hot and high, things are even more delicate.

 

As for pitot freezing I really can't say.  SOP is to turn pitot heat on prior to takeoff and leave it on until after landing, so I've never tested what would happen if I didn't.

Are you planning to port this magnificent beast to MSFS2020 ?
