That is super exciting! 

The TBM and the Duke are two of my all-time favorites.Unbelievable that all this is done by one person.  

[Ron Attwood 3,465]

Cue cries of 'We want the turbine Duke'.

[Mets737 200]

I'm super excited! The 'last' good Duke we've ever had for the sim was by RealAir back in P3D v4! So this is some fantastic news!

Straight from the interview

"Both the original reciprocating-engine Duke and the Turbine Duke conversion will be offered"

Man, I remember flying the RealAir Duke for hours and hours in FSX. It was one of the best planes ever made for flight simulation along with their Lancair. I'm very much looking forward to seeing this bird in MSFS. Great news!

[St Mawgan 1,372]

Wow. Great news indeed!

Well spotted. You've saved a lot of internet space. 😁

Whoa, an aircraft that I never thought we would see in FS again. I think I flew the turbine Duke in P3D more than any other aircraft in my hanger. Awesome news.

Wait what???

I m so hyped now for that plane!!!! 
Big thank you to Black Square!!!!

[Pat Mussotte 92]

Day one purchase and that's it!

[DavidP 1,410]

I'll begin flying the real thing very soon so I hope they do a good job

[ryanbatc 12,857]

Oh my gosh! YES!!!  Royal Turbine and Piston!  Come to papa haha!

When I worked in duluth we once had a Duke convention....  I took a million photos.  I loved the Realair version and can't wait to own this one!

It will be awesome to have some nice renditions of both Dukes in MSFS, that is for sure. I too flew the both of them a ton in FSX and P3D.

[Matchstick 1,886]

I'll expose my ignorance of the FSX/early P3d era here by asking what made the Duke/Royal Turbine Duke so special to people using those sims ?
