Same here - mixture works but the levers don't move visually except for full rich or cut off. I don't use FSUIPC. 

The manual states the condition (NOT mixture) levers have only two positions, full on or off.  No in between like the King Air for example.  I

Thank you

Just bought both versions and took a quick flight.  OMG!!!!!!   , probably the best release for any flight simulator.   Well worth the price.

I was flying the piston Duke, so mixture levers!

My two penn'orth so far. First impression = Wow!   Second impression = More of the same. Then I got a little bit miffed that I couldn't assign magnetos properly causing lots of Googling. Finally decided I could live with using the mouse and reverted to impressions part 1 and 2

Those sounds! 😮

On a 'value for money' scale. I don't recall any uproar about $50 for the Comanche. Three Dukes for £49 stacks up rather well I think. 👍

Great! Of course you can fly below Vmc and see how it playout in case when critical engine quit and you have to do go around

I assume the idea is that once you're below Vmca, you're committed to landing?

What airframe are you guys using for the Duke in Simbrief.

2 questions 

 

Does anyone have a good pdf checklist for the Turbine? I really don't like using the in sim version. 

 

And is there an option to make the throttle got back to idle and not go down to reverse? Like in airliners where I have to press a button to make it go to reverses? 

 

Thanks!

There's one in the manual - it's four pages, so if you print two pages per sheet, it will fit on the front and back of a single sheet.

There's also this one on flightsim.to:

Haven't looked at it in detail, but it looks reasonable at first glance.

When I did my multi commercial we shot approaches at Vy . As we hit minimums and decided to continue then we drop below Vmc

In my opinion, every addon installer should put their installed folder in community. A very sensible place to put it. Because you would know exactly where it is at. And can then move it, if you want to do that. Such as into an Addon Linker subfolder.

I tried King Air

Bought both, and whilst i have only flown the turbine version from EGPE-EGTK, then onto LFBH. I love this plane... I'll jump in the piston version next for tomorrows jaunt from LFBH-LFBZ. Well worth the price imo.
