The Duke is Out

Well done Realair :applause::applause::applause: Its everybit as good as anticipated. It has now my favourite twin in the hangar. :jump::jump::jump:
 
This is the best job of replicating engine out performance I've seen in flight sim. Pulling the levers with right mouse button drag is so intuitive and seems really natural. SE performance is lousy, just as it should be on a Duke. Really like the mouse drag for setting radios and HSI knobs too. :applause:

The Duke is right there with Digital's Cheyenne for me and I'm naturally biased towards the PT6 engines on the Cheyenne, but this is really well done.

Company I was flying for acquired a smaller outfit that had a Duke and all of us in the flight department were very happy that acquisition DIDN'T include the Duke. Didn't feel like we were nearly as safe in it as we were in our King Airs. Sure don't mind flying this one in FSX, though. Great job Real Air. :ernae:

cheers,
steve :wavey:
 
very sweet airplane for sure

A nice 2.8 hour flight from KRDU to KSWF (Stewert Intl). Beautiful aircraft, but I was expecting no less.

Enough time to check everything out while in cruise mode, but more to learn, like the cabin pressure...thought I had it correct before take-off, but my cabin pressure was at 3,400 at 15,000. Flew 'by the numbers' provided in the doc's, and hand flying the approach was smooth as silk. Rob is a magician with his models. Incredible how quiet everything gets once you get to cruise.

A bunch more frame rate hungry than most all the RealAir offerings, but again, smooth as silk. I simply shut the FR display off and enjoyed the ride. It really does not matter.

I believe I better plan an extended trip with this baby...and read the doc's more fully before the next flight :mixedsmi:

What can you say....worth the wait...:wiggle:

I agree Steve - the more you fly the Duke the more you apprechiate it comapred to the D Cheyenne :jump:
 
I must say i love this aircraft! Its so well done i might just fly an online rally in it end of May.

I have to add to that the customer support from Rob was amazing! the moment he saw in this thread i am having problems with swreg he sent me a mail and started helping me. AMAZING customer support - thanks Rob! :medals::icon29:

Well I really should be tucked up in bed right now, but I just had to stay up long enough for a quick spin. What an aircraft, it looks like Rob and Sean have come up trumps again. :applause:

Well I almost resisted this one as the DA Cheyenne eats too many frames for my old single core PC, but I'm VERY happy to say the RealAir Duke flies beautifully and doesn't give me any frame rate problems at all, amazing.

:guinness: cheers :medals:
