This Black Square Duke engine start video is amazing...

This will be superb.  As good as A2A standard if not better.  I am really impressed.

I like to trick airline passengers into thinking I have my own swimming pool in my back yard by painting a large blue rectangle on my patio.

This is wild...I was not expecting this amount of detail....

That does look amazing, that is "Challenger" level of detail - nice to see it come to MSFS......

...... now if they'll do a bizjet next.. .. 😉

Amazing. Sometimes though, life is too short isn't it?

Lol, my list of aircraft I'm flying gets longer & longer. Don't normally fly props, but have such good memories of the RealAir turbine Duke...

Quite impressive the extend to which Black Square has gone in the simulation. For me, this is the meaning of study level! If it proves to be as fully developed as the videos show I think it surpasses A2A in terms of system modelling and depth; we will then need to see the quality of the flight model. All that aside, I am really impressed by the quality of aircraft that are appearing in MSFS now and we can only expect this to advance further. How far we have come.

The Blacksquare TBM is my favourite so far, and it flies really well.  Really looking forward to the Duke.

Yup. If HotStart think they'll always be the most detail oriented dev out there, they have another thing coming. Hats off to A2A for showing us what is possible and I am loving JF's drive to push the envelope.

5800X3D. 32 GB RAM. 1TB SATA SSD. 3TB HDD. RX  9070XT.

Although impressive, of course in real life you do not have a tablet to monitor the inside of the engine during startup. Therefore I doubt I'll use it much, if at all. Same as with the A2A Comanche.

To be fair, what Black Square does for the engine, HotStart did for the entire airplane, all systems, even the freaking GPS satellites are modelled. And it's a modern jet, a lot more complicated than a prop plane. I think HotStart won't lose no sleep over this (although they might lose sleep over the X-Plane situation, but that's another topic of its own).

For transparency: I'm a community mentor at the BATC discord. However, I do not get paid for it in any way.

As a CFI the engine schematics look good enough for real world training
