    Thanks for the interest in the Duchess.  If it helps there will be a demo available soon so you'll be able to make up your own mind. An update was made available over the weekend just a couple of days after release so hopefully that indicates the level of commitment.  Details of the update can be found here:

    Hope that helps.

    Hi Scott,

    Hah - we have a surplus of "Scott's" in this thread...

    :tongue:

    Thanks for the interest and information... Yep - the "Demo" sounds excellent and a very fair way to do business....

    This seems to be the largest global site for this hobby - so it's always nice to see a little interest and interaction with the developer here... Granted you can't be everywhere all the time...

    Again - I would like to reiterate my preference for RXP gauges - while I own the F1 pack as well - the RXP versions seem to be the better choice...

    I'll be looking forward to the demos so I can get a first hand look at the FDE's...

    Question: There's only the black livery with a US registration ?

     

    Nice PIX of the non-stinky real deal...

    I'd hold off a bit Scott until quite a bit of "kinks" are worked out.  The flight dynamics are off and it's like it's still in beta stage.  The folks at Just Flight typically do end up getting things right but in my opinion this one was released before it's time. I had that older version and to be quite honest the FDE of that model was more realistic than this newer version.

    Hi Gary,

    Thanks for the PIREP - yeah - had the old one with the silly GPS as well... Yeah - I'm an FDE aficionado - so if it doesn't fly like it should - I'll be disappointed... Been in a Duchess a few times - so I have some idea as to how they should fly... Seems that the JF Archer and the JF Duchess have none of the fanfare that accompanied the JF Arrow releases... Would certainly like to see a few words from Martin or whomever developed this - posted on our forum - to see an active interest and an intent to get it right...

    I'll hold off until I see a more positive indication...

    Regards,
    Scott

    Hi Folks,

    Looks good - if anyone picks her up - I'm looking for a PIREP on the FDE... From watching the new video (maybe it's just the video) but all the flashing stuff on the spinners when in motion - is very distracting and doesn't look so hot - with real chromed spinners - the shine doesn't rotate with the spinner - it stays stationary - perhaps a more traditional paint of the spinner would help ??? I love the Duchess so this is potentially on my list to buy if I see some good feedback...

    I'd also like to see RXP compatibility - as they are the products I choose to use...

    Regards,
    Scott

    Hi Folks,

    I'm intrigued - I may have to slap my AOPA Sweepstakes paint job on her like I did on the old Dreamfleet model in FS9... The real AOPA aircraft was an Archer II though - poetic license... Funny - the winner of the AOPA plane was a woman at the very same airport where I was flight training - KPOU - so close [sigh]... I think the Piper paint scheme shown in the JF advertisement was heavily influenced by the AOPA paint job - they used it on their production aircraft for a couple years...

    Dreamfleet AOPA Paint Job...

    Compatible, yes, but not optimized for P3Dv4.  Use of v4-specific ground polys, materials better suited for dynamic lighting etc can really improve performance even where it functioned in v4 before.  The difference in KATL was pretty significant; I suspect this one will be a noticeable improvement too.

    Cheers

    Hi Bob,

    Thanks for the input !!!

    :wink:

    I'll see if I can get it loaded tonight...

    Regards,
    Scott
