Another twin, but this one could be a 414 killer.

It was mentioned in the dev update and the Store Pages for the planes have now been updated with links to the full manuals.

Looks like the system visualiser pages of the Tablet will go quite some way beyond what we see in the A2A Comanche.

Yea, I think it is pretty likely these will basically permanently hanger my 414 and 310. It is amazing how quickly the depth and quality of aircraft are advancing in MSFS.

So true! I haven’t touched those since the BS range started to release. Those are pretty much the only GA I fly nowadays: Caravan-King Air-Bonanza-TBM.

Does the autopilot have LNAV?

I mean, it has NAV mode.  As the plane allows for use of a few different avioncs and gps, yes, the plane can follow the track or radial from the gps

Because they have a peronal experience with it? Because it's more challenging when it comes to mountain flying? Because the piston physics is more authentic than the turbine simulation (yet)??

 

I enjoy flying piston aircraft as much as I do turbine aircraft but I probably fly piston a bit more often.

Love that piston engine sound and the instant throttle response.

I flew both Duke versions a lot in P3D and loved them. Big fan of Black Square so can't wait for the release.

For me at least, because it'll a different but hopefully equally well-modelled experience to flying the Turbine version.

(Plus there's supposed to be a substantial discount for buying both aircraft as a pack so it really is a no-brainer 😉 )
