Wow those paints look absolutely incredible!  Can't wait for this one.

It would be awesome to see the EFS 40 EADI & EHSI from the TBM as an option in a near future 🤞

The turbine Duke will be an instant buy for me even if the price is considered too steep, I'm quite certain it will be worth every penny. I own every single airplane BS has put out and so far, I love all of them.

So no IRL liveries then?

Oh we have those.  At least when I make a livery (via community upload) I make a realistic registration and a dynamic version - I prefer the actual registration and font/look when I'm flying

That being said, black square has the best looking dynamic registration system of any addon.

Yeah it would be cool to get an aftermarket G5 in there (WT G5 wen lol?) or Aspen or something.  I'm not sure if I've ever seen an older EADI in the dukes.  I've seen full glass though hehe.

I feel sorry for my Chancellor when I finally get my hands on the Duke(s). Flew her yesterday (after quite some time), and it seems she’s had quite a few updates since last time I used it.

The Dukes though… seems that Black Square has created a new category in terms of hi-fidelity.

The FSW is a wonderful addon - it's one of my favorites.  It doesn't have the systems depth that these dukes have though.  Still the 414 has superb sounds and cockpit "character."

Ryan, is there a paint kit for the Dukes or a white livery?

There is a white livery.  Although you'd probably want to paint in 3d with blender or substance.

The G600 suite (or GDU or whatever they are called these days) from TDS would be amazing. There is a Garmin trainer for it, just like for the GTN 750.

I'm just not sure it's possible to do in 2d...pieces are kinda scattered all over.

Yeah, that's a plane I always go back to. Even when the 310 was released. Still went back to it. Even when BS released some of their planes and I got a bunch of others. Still went back to it...Though the turbine duke might bump it out for a bit haha

stunning but not a one man show. He teamed up with justflight?

Only for distribution and support as far as I know.

Thanks Ryan. Yes, I'm used to doing my liveries in Blender although do prefer a proper paint kit for fine tuning.
