May 10, 20242 yr Do Black Square Products ever go on sale? If so, when could that be expected? Edited May 10, 20242 yr by Cavemanhead

May 10, 20242 yr Sp I tried long haul in Turbine Duke and able only to squeeze ~800nm. I used FL280 and economy cruise as per tables: torque 740 (800 was recommended by fuel burn was much higher), 1800 rpm. Was getting t fuel flow 51 gph instead of 48 (but there could be ISA deviation) Life time flight sim enthusiast, current airplane owner 172P (past C182F).

May 10, 20242 yr so I have two question: I cant get the autopilot to NAV a GPS course of the 530/430. I click NAV on the autopilot but it remains in HDG mode. I looked in the manual and there is a rather confusing paragraph about GPS courses and the no-GPS configuration. Anybody else notice very lazy pitch control following a LOC/GP? Seems like the autopilot can't command enough control surface deflection to achieve the desired slope.
May 10, 20242 yr Unfortunately there is no Simbrief profile for the Turbine Duke... Do you think the B200 King Air is close enough for creating a profile for the Turbine Duke?

I am under the impression the King Air version will be inaccurate. Not too sure, but I find GA fuel planning to be a simple guessing game. - Chris Gigabyte Z790 Aorus Elite AX | Intel Core i9 13900KF | Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4090 24 GB | 64GB DDR5 SDRAM | Corsair H100i Elite 240mm Liquid Cooling | 1TB & 2TB Samsung Gen 4 SSD | 1000 Watt Gold PSU | Windows 11 Pro | Thrustmaster Boeing Yoke | Thrustmaster TCA Captain X Airbus | Asus ROG 38" 4k IPS Monitor (PG38UQ) Asus Maximus VII Hero motherboard | Intel i7 4790k CPU | MSI GTX 970 4 GB video card | Corsair DDR3 2133 32GB SDRAM | Corsair H50 water cooler | Samsung 850 EVO 250GB SSD (2) | EVGA 1000 watt PSU - Retired

There is an airframe overstress option in MSFS, and the developer said you can't easily work around it, so just turn that option off. Any crashing options should be off. - Chris Gigabyte Z790 Aorus Elite AX | Intel Core i9 13900KF | Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4090 24 GB | 64GB DDR5 SDRAM | Corsair H100i Elite 240mm Liquid Cooling | 1TB & 2TB Samsung Gen 4 SSD | 1000 Watt Gold PSU | Windows 11 Pro | Thrustmaster Boeing Yoke | Thrustmaster TCA Captain X Airbus | Asus ROG 38" 4k IPS Monitor (PG38UQ) Asus Maximus VII Hero motherboard | Intel i7 4790k CPU | MSI GTX 970 4 GB video card | Corsair DDR3 2133 32GB SDRAM | Corsair H50 water cooler | Samsung 850 EVO 250GB SSD (2) | EVGA 1000 watt PSU - Retired

Seems like the autopilot can't command enough control surface deflection to achieve the desired slope. I believe the GNS need some work around currently. Did you answer the install questions regarding SU14 and SU15 beta? FWIW, I only use the TDS GTN750. I'd rather use the older non-graphically over the GNS. They are nice, but I find navigating them to be a bit painful. Anyhow, I flew into Jeffco last night to test the ILS, as someone on the JustFlight forums reported an issue with it not working. I have to say, at a 30 degree intercept and level into the FAF, it flew perfectly to minimums. I don't feel like the AP disco resulted in any problems either. Maybe a bit of up-trim, but nothing abnormal. - Chris Gigabyte Z790 Aorus Elite AX | Intel Core i9 13900KF | Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4090 24 GB | 64GB DDR5 SDRAM | Corsair H100i Elite 240mm Liquid Cooling | 1TB & 2TB Samsung Gen 4 SSD | 1000 Watt Gold PSU | Windows 11 Pro | Thrustmaster Boeing Yoke | Thrustmaster TCA Captain X Airbus | Asus ROG 38" 4k IPS Monitor (PG38UQ) Asus Maximus VII Hero motherboard | Intel i7 4790k CPU | MSI GTX 970 4 GB video card | Corsair DDR3 2133 32GB SDRAM | Corsair H50 water cooler | Samsung 850 EVO 250GB SSD (2) | EVGA 1000 watt PSU - Retired

May 11, 20242 yr Has anyone experienced issues installing either/both of the Duke to their community folder? I keep getting an error saying that the installer can't find the folder in the community folder - even though it has created the folders their? JustFlightScott have you seen this? Tom
