April 20, 20233 yr Wow this is a surprise. Looks like my P3D install might be finally on the way out as one of the only reasons it is still there is the turbine Duke!

Never really understood how swapping in a PT6A would change Vne . Could it be a certification issue rather than a change in actual physical limitations ?
April 20, 20233 yr I just hope the interior will be MSFS standard graphics wise. the RealAir had this wooden panel and smell of 50 year old curtains that I don't want in any cockpit. doors that open instead. other than that, agreed to everything that has been said. good thing is, it will make use of workingtitle's Garmin magic, so no need to waste precious developer time there. and once you know one, you know all of them GNS 430/530s.

IIRC the extra speed capacity was in the yellow ring not green? Been a while since I flew it though so I might have that wrong.

As good as the RealAir guys were, I don't remember them including any smells with their Duke. It could be time to consider new curtains in your home? 😁 "That's what" - She

Good morning to you, good Mr. Stoopy, how's it going there. you can call it what you want, I call it imagination. just like I smell jet fuel when I make my outside checks in VR. and yes, that smell I do love. "It could be time to consider new curtains in your home?" I wish I could call a B60-Duke "home" 😀 But probably some side effects after I watched this whole episode from "When the curtain falls" Edited April 20, 20233 yr by turbomax AMD 7800X3D, Windows 11, Gigabyte X670 AORUS Elite AX Motherboard, 64GB DDR5 G.SKILL Trident Z5 NEO RGB (AMD Expo), RTX 4090, Samsung 980 PRO M.2 NVMe SSD 2 TB PCIe 4.0, Samsung 980 PRO M.2 NVMe SSD 1 TB PCIe 4.0, 4K resolution 50" TV @60Hz, VR: Pimax Crystal Light + HP Reverb G2 @ 90 Hz, Honeycomb Bravo Throttle Quadrant, be quiet 1000W PSU, Noctua NH-U12S chromax.black air cooler. 60-130 fps. no CPU overclocking. very nice.

April 20, 20233 yr 11 minutes ago, Matchstick said: What are you using for cruising IAS ? ~180kts ? Oh boy it's been a minute. I think on the turbine you basically go right up to the bottom of redline. In the piston I think whatever power setting get's you 160 kias or so. Of course that depends on altitude. I think service ceiling was FL250 so maybe 140-160 kias? | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |

April 20, 20233 yr This is the best MSFS news I've heard in some time. I loved the A2A planes in P3D, but IMO, the RealAir Turbine Duke was the top of the heap!
April 20, 20233 yr Wow. Apart from saying I'm speechless, I'm speechless. Amazing how developers nobody had ever heard of before turn up out of nowhere and start deliver top-notch A2A-style proiducts to MSFS 2020. If The Commitments were gorillas* guerillas of soul, Black Square must be the guerillas of sim aircraft development. Oh, I appear to have recovered my powers of speech... *Bonus points to anyone who gets this reference. 😁 Edited April 20, 20233 yr by Holdit
