Noticed that too…lol

You are very welcome! I was charmed by the Piston version but the Turbine was available and does featue briefly at the end of the video. Thanks for watching!

I get why people lean toward the piston, as they do have a bit more character. It’ll be turbine all the way for me though.

Indeed this one is a step up!

All the black square aircraft are miles ahead of anything except maybe A2A but I think the duke is the winner. Once you fly black square everything else seems like a toy in comparison.

It's just one guy too! Though he did have Boris do the sound on this one.

Absolutely love the Aerostar, I hope we see one in a sim one day!

Thanks for watching, enjoy!

It is remarkable, I agree!

Nah its not perfect. It's amazing but there is even more they could do. There is no walk around. No airframe failures. It doesn't simulate individual cylinder combustion/failure like the A2A Comanche. Really good never the less, I like BlackSquare planes.

@@s0cks1985 fair point

@@s0cks1985 But try to see it from the bright side. There may no individual cylinder failures - but there are 120 other possible failures ;) All other aircraft literally bore you to death with their simpleness (does this word even exist *gg) and every flight is always the same.... every flight is always the same.... every flight is always the same.... every flight is always the same going from A to B with nothing that really matters, nothing on the instrument panel to take care of, and nothing interesting will ever happen. Nothing. All systems redlined - and nothing will happen. Engine overheats - it just stays in the red area and nothing is going to happen for the next 99999 hours because no failures whatsoever are programed in the code lines. The Black Square planes are the complete opposite of that, if you set the failure rate high enough (maybe 512x for typical 30 minutes to one hour flights) you will end up with at least five or six failed systems. This can be everything from the lights on the instrument board failing to gear not going down or single radio stack panels failing. One time I heard a bang and the engine power went down to I think it was about 200hp or so - and the failure list (shown as an optional menu in that weather radar) showed an exploded turbo. One day a minute before landing the instrument panel lights failed and I had to use the flashlight to see the VOR directing to the airport for the last five minutes. Some day you will get fuel leaks and the imbalance of these tanks is really nasty especially when one of these is full and the other one empty after ten minutes, or the spark plugs are grounded and the engine power goes up and down. So many fascinating stuff going on there, so many awesome interesting things can happen when choosing Black Square. The best most exciting flights I ever had was always with the Black Square Bonanza or Baron. And soon another Black Square masterpiece will be welcomed in the hangar. By the way what happens if a single cylinder fails? Just loosing some engine power? I have never flown the Comanche.

@@juliashenandoah3965 There are a number of planes I fly in the sim that will have engine failures if you just keep it redlined. It's not just a BlackSquare feature. As for a cylinder failure on the Comanche. Loss of power. You can hear the engine running rough. And the cockpit instruments will shake (quite violently if you give it lots of throttle). I highly recommend it to you. Sounds like the sort of plane you would like. Lots to keep you busy mid flight, and plenty of failure options. Also it has a walk around and airframe failures.

@@juliashenandoah3965 Fly the Comanche. I literally did a walk around and was manipulating the Aileron and every time it into the down position it would squeak and pop. I was like wtf and kept moving it up and down messing with it and finally I heard a really loud bang and it stuck. The linkages literally froze and broke on the left aileron. Black square has a nice plane and I will probably buy it because I want a fast little twin GA. But the Comanche will always be my Go To for it's realism and modeling. You literally get Cylinder wear. I had an oil tube finally blow out and drain the oil which then caused the prop to run away because the prop governor didn't work and went full fine. Which then caused the engine to overspeed. Between the Lack of Oil and overspeed it destroyed itself. The A2A comanche also simulates water in the fuel tanks if you don't put the caps back on. It also will destroy its engine if you leave very dirty oil in it and let it sit. Like game closed with dirty acidic oil in it. It's quite remarkable actually.

You're right about that! I gave up on the King Air.

This happens with recording software.

They do work. It has a legacy autopilot system though so you use attitude pitch for vertical speed as opposed to setting a VS. It can be tricky if you don't know the system but once you figure it out, works like a charm

This is available from JustFlight.

On msfs or a 3rd party website?

​@@raseangainey5563it isn't on the marketplace yet. Only 3rd party sites

I think these are wildly cheap when you consider what you're getting. FSX addons used to be more expensive for a joke of a simulation compared to todays addons. I'm more than happy to help a one-man team create the addons of my dreams a few years ago.

Considering the dukes put the Comanche to shame in most regards... It's worth every penny

@@raymarshall6721 i think they are both good in their own right. i am glad that the bundle gives both planes at a discount

If you aren’t willing to pay for the depth offered, there are other cheaper (and worse) options on the market.. but this is a high end addon, which is not supposed to be cheap (and can’t be, due to how expensive it is to develop).

Then how do we explain the Fenix A320? Much cheaper and very realistic. Anyway, not looking for an argument here, the numbers speak for themselves

@@340ACP Just some balance, the devs aren't getting greedier. They are setting a price that is fair given the quality of the add-on. Not sure how the Fenix A320 is deemed much cheaper. It's not at all. The Duke, from the Just Flight website will be priced at £33.99/€42.95/$47.99. With a cheaper option available for those who want to pick up both aircraft by way of a bundle deal. Last time we looked the A320 was £49.99. Worth it I will say but obviously not much cheaper than the Duke. Hope that helps.

Or just get one version. I’m only getting the turbine version.

Not sure I need it having the Cessna 414. But.... I'll be getting one of them. Probably the piston one 😅

It says “full open” in the check list, which is common on regulated turbo pistons.

@@simonpick2690 yes, go full open and enjoy your flights. Also never care about the blue line.

@@simonpick2690 understanding airmanship is a different matter. Applying the throttle in that excessive rate induced slight overboost of engines and overspeed of propellers. This specific serial numbers of aircraft (newer engines) have takeoff power and max continuous map at 41.5, that sad you can fly it all day long at that power, but is that what you want to do? The same apply in this video to not carrying about Vmc or cyl. temps and leaving it cowls open the whole time. Pushing the plane from 3000ft/min to 1000ft/min in 1 second is a vomit situation, perhaps exceeding structural possibilities of the airframe.

@@simonpick2690 also reduced the power for climb after 7000ft... also to wrong numbers.

@@lukapretegiani3348lol, it’s a review, he is not showing a by the numbers flight, just showing the features of the aircraft.
