You've just given me the biggest shock I've had since I peed on that electric fence on my Uncles farm when I was eight :isadizzy:
I thought it would be months before this would be out!

97J,
Roger that. First flight is in the can. I usually don't start seeing things until the second or third flight. All I can say for now is - You're going to love this machine. Real Air has outdone themselves.
Sierra Hotel.

How about these new stereo sounds mentioned in the manual - did you notice them?
No surprises here.
Its just as you would expect. I have a mid range dual core setup and tweeked as such. First thing I noticed was the sounds. VERY well done. Interior is crisp and clean. I have thousands of hours in real world mid to heavy twins and have not had time to evaluate the flight model. I am really not into not nit picking anyways as FUN and a brief suspension of reality is all I am after. I just did a short flight with a few touch and goes. Plane is very easy to fly. Almost to easy especially when you have been flying the A2A warbirds. Performance again on my mid range system running a VERY high rez is good. Very good considering the graphics. I have a few bare bones freewares that suck up the fps so the coding done on the Duke must be top notch.
Only gripe and it might be my setup but the gps and other readouts are blurred and I must zoom in to read them.The 2nd pic below next post is how mine looks at 1920x1080
Again no surprise its a well done,nice looking,performance friendly plane.

I do have one squawk but it may be covered in the manual I haven't read yet. The individual power levers are not individually selectable. The tool tips identify left and right, but moving one (mixture, prop or throttle), moves both. If anyone planning single engine ops, it may be difficult.
Later: Now I've read the manual - right drag to move one side or the other.
Oh, yeah - the sounds are wonderful. I'll let the screen shots above speak for themselves. My first landing was to a full stall, horn going off at the right time. Perfect.

nice i just did my first landing using mouse only!!
A few from the first flight.
Wow, wow, wow !!!!
I was a little concerned as I taxied towards take-off that the engines sounded a little wimpy. Well, that went away real quick when I advanced the throttles and the engine sounds came alive. Think I rattled the front windows a bit.
A small HU for anyone not using an external logbook editor. She logs flight hours as an "Amphibian" like A2A/Shockwave aircraft do. But it also means safely ditching the aircraft is allowed.

well i did my first flight in the duke to my grandpa old ranch sandy valley nv WAS A NICE flight
You can fix that.
Go into the aircraft.cfg and go down to the 'contact points'
//----------------------------- gear up crash points------------------------------------------------
The defaults are :
///point.9= 4.000, -8.600, -3.0, -2.00, 15000.00, 0.000, 0.000, 0.00, 0.00, 0.000, 0.000, 0.000, 0.000, 5.000 //5
///point.10=4.000, -4.000, 0.0, -1.70, 15000.00, 0.000, 0.000, 0.00, 0.00, 0.000, 0.000, 0.000, 0.000, 6.000 //6
///point.11=4.000, -8.600, 3.0, -2.00, 15000.00, 0.000, 0.000, 0.00, 0.00, 0.000, 0.000, 0.000, 0.000, 6.000 //5
Change to:
point.9= 2.000, -8.600, -3.0, -2.00, 15000.00, 0.000, 0.000, 0.00, 0.00, 0.000, 0.000, 0.000, 0.000, 5.000 //5
point.10=2.000, -4.000, 0.0, -1.70, 15000.00, 0.000, 0.000, 0.00, 0.00, 0.000, 0.000, 0.000, 0.000, 6.000 //6
point.11=2.000, -8.600, 3.0, -2.00, 15000.00, 0.000, 0.000, 0.00, 0.00, 0.000, 0.000, 0.000, 0.000, 6.000 //5
Now it will be recorded a 'Plane'
