    According to the scale on the cabin pressure controller, the Turbine Duke can sustain a typical airliner cabin altitude of 8,000 ft only up to a pressure altitude of 22,000 ft.

    Question: How do real-world operators typically deal with this? Do they limit their cruise altitude to FL 220? Do they use supplemental oxygen above FL 220? Do they simply accept the higher cabin altitude? IIUC, cabin altitudes up to 12,000 ft are legal, though they may not be prudent for extended periods of time. 

    I was about to ask the same question. If someone knows anything about this I would love to know

    From the videos I watched I was just a bit perplexed with the rocket climb rate ???

    Is that realistic ??? At a given instance it was climbing in excess of 3000 FPM after takeoff and trying to mantain 120 KIAS ???

    Yes it is.. yeeees it is. The turbine duke is a rocket

    Nonsense. A misinterpretation of what one is seeing. This is one of a few places (and I literally mean few) where you are ever going to find people complaining about CTD's. It's one of the few places where people think they may get help. Consequently you will see a disproportionate amount of complaints about problems compared to the general user base and yet, despite that there are actually still very few.

    Imagine all the millions of people that are now not here complaining compared to the fraction of members here that are because it's working perfectly fine for them.

    It's very stable.

    Spot on.

    Those who don't have any issues don't come here to say so.

    In fact, Im one of those. I fly regularly and I just dont remember the last time I got a ctd. More than a year ago, that's for sure.

    Yeah...I'm DEAD serious.. virtually die in a crash in such way that once you open the sim the next time it will tell you that you are virtually DEAD as a brick and cannot run the sim any longer you know....

    I'm just asking if you aware of such addon 🙄

    😁

    Well, im sure that i can create an application that could delete your msfs installation or corrupt your OS if it detects that you have crashed 😁

    Yes was already looking in LNM for planning, calculating ToD is only hard art now. And I might give the FMC a chance then, espcially on Vatsim since I've never done VOR plan on Vatsim. Does that make it VFR then?

    Calculating your TOD is fairly easy. Lets say that you're at 32000 and you need to be at 2000. You need to lose 30,000 so when do you need to start your descent?

    (30,000 x 3) / 1000. That gives you 90. this means that you need to start your descent at 90nm from the target.

    Now, what should be your vertical speed? Easy: Ground speed x 5. Lets say that you will maintain 400 knots. 400 x 5 = 2,000. So you need to descent at 2,000 fpm and 400 knots.

    Obviously you will have to do tweaks here and there but those formulas got you covered.

    So after a zillion tries and partial flights I finally got a hold and feel comfortable on flying VOR to VOR like in the tutorial and also how this works in the plane itself. Really love it but I wonder. I want to create  flights like in the tutorial myself. How do you guys plan your VOR to VOR flights?

    And is the use of the FMC realistic? Since I understood it's only added for the MSFS community or am I wrong?

     

    Pip

    Yes, some aircraft were retrofitted with FMC's back in the day. Some even have a GTN750!

     

    Regarding your questions about vor to vor flight planning, you can use little navmap to do it. Just create a flight plan linking the vor stations along your route. The application also shows you the range of each vor station (Very useful!)

    You can also use skyvector

    I read that the cessna 310r have a cervice ceiling of 20000 feet, but i struggle to climb after passing 10000 feet in the milviz c310. Im fully loaded, could that be the reason? I really had a hard time follow atc instructions too go 18000 feet...

    Are you managing your mixtures as you climb?

    LOL lets hope they don't do this, this time around. Rob did say that his team was sick and tired of redoing the same projects especially the 737 over and over again and He needed to widen his vision and move on to other projects. Their is something new coming after the 747 per se Robert, what it is we don't know. This project is coming before the 73 Max according to a podcast he did a few weeks ago. Than the Max could be done within a few weeks time when tweaked off the NG series.

    Ohh lets hope! Im their customer since fs2004 or so and while i do enjoy their products, as a company they're really boring. Can you imagine a PMDG 727? Or maybe a C-130 or something like that.

    TFDI is doing a MD11 at a somewhat high level. Let them finish the 73.74,777 and move on to another new project. Maybe a 75 or 767. Heck bring a turbo prop to mix things up a little.

    They (PMDG) wont do that.

    They will do the 737/777/747 and by the time they're over, a new simulator will be upon us, at which time they will AGAIN do the 737/777/747 and that cycle will repeat itself until the sun explodes.
