I see what you mean. I think it's kinda the black square trademark way of doing cockpits... very readable instruments. It's hard to tell in the videos but the textures are of very high quality - they are pretty clean though. I prefer super clean myself but I understand some like a little wear and tear. I think that could easily be done by a repainter. I'm not great with interiors but I'm sure someone will come along and do something. As for panel/interiors - there are some nice variations, like this lovely wood panel and schnazzy interior in the piston woodcockpit1 by Ryan Butterworth, on Flickr woodcockpit2 by Ryan Butterworth, on Flickr

The planes are all Beechcraft (except the TBM and VelocityXL of course). So naturally some of the gauges are similar. I'm pretty sure the official logos can't be used so typically there's a gentleman who redoes the cockpit with beech logos etc and releases it as a community addon.

Is it possible it's just native frame gen?

For a pro like you Ron, I know it can be done hehe! It's not nearly as bad as the asobo Cirrus or anything.

I'm just not sure it's possible to do in 2d...pieces are kinda scattered all over.

There is a white livery. Although you'd probably want to paint in 3d with blender or substance.

Muuuuust resiiiiiist. I don't need it... I doooont neeeeed it....

Oh gosh my credit card haha All their new stuff is very very nice.

The FSW is a wonderful addon - it's one of my favorites. It doesn't have the systems depth that these dukes have though. Still the 414 has superb sounds and cockpit "character."

Yeah it would be cool to get an aftermarket G5 in there (WT G5 wen lol?) or Aspen or something. I'm not sure if I've ever seen an older EADI in the dukes. I've seen full glass though hehe.

Oh we have those. At least when I make a livery (via community upload) I make a realistic registration and a dynamic version - I prefer the actual registration and font/look when I'm flying That being said, black square has the best looking dynamic registration system of any addon.

And we made a lot of paints....a LOT 😂 And most of them are dynamic reg compatible so you can place a French or Canadian or German or British or whatever reg you want on them.

I don't do anything.

I'm biased because I've had access to the aircraft (making liveries for it and some beta testing - but I wasn't an official tester). I've seen a few comments about the price. For the bundle then I think it comes out to around 65 or 70 USD with conversion. Basically around 32-35 for the piston (which actually has two variants with different flight models) and 32-35 for the turbine. Some of the instruments and avioncs are the same but that's where the similarities end. The sounds are unique, the flight models are vastly different, the exteriors are different etc. A high end multi engine addon for 35 USD? That's more than reasonable. Probably should have been 49.99 for each. I think I bought the Carenado Mooney for 34.99 when it was originally released hehe. The fidelity between that and the Dukes is wildly different. I own too many addons hehe. I adore general aviation. Without a doubt this is the most advanced GA aircraft I've flown.

I thought you were asking for a more complete video... I would recommend the ones direct from the Black Square dev - they answer your questions. I think there's 9 videos pertaining to the Dukes https://www.youtube.com/@justflight/videos
