I'll be exactly the same in MSFS. For me, there's just something more visceral about GA Piston over GA Turbo prop. I prefer the piston version of any varient. Eg... I'd love FS Reborn to do a piston PA46 version of their M500. If speed and climb rate aren't factors, the piston Duke will have a lot going for it, alongside the turbine. 🙂 Bill 😎 FS2024 • PMDG 738, 777F & 777-200LR • Fenix A319, A320, A321 • TFDi MD-11 • AS/ToLiss A346 • iFly 737 MAX8 • Ini A340 • AS CRJ v2 • Ini A300 Premium • FSS 727F • FFX HJET, Visionjet and P180 2024 • A2A Comanche 2024 & Aerostar • All BLACKSQUARE aircraft • COWS DA40 & DA42 • FSW C24R Sierra & C414 TrackIR • BeyondATC • PMS GTN Payware • RealTurb • Axis & Ohs • FS Realistic Pro 9800X3D • RTX 3080 • 64GB DDR5-6000 NPPL licence holder in the UK

VNE is 198 kias in the turbine. Probably cruise 220-240 ktas in the piston. VNO is around 200 kias - so you're not usually going to exceed that except in smooth air.

March 15, 20242 yr I just can't wait for both! I love the power of the turbine but the piston is just a different type of piloting experience with a bit more engine management...I really like them both. And yes, I will be doing a max performance static takeoff in the turbine with zero load as my first takeoff lol! I remember that from P3D days...a rocket! The piston also remains near and dear to my heart. What is remarkable is how small the airplane is for the power bolted on to the wings in both cases. I know they haven't even released but I am secretly hoping for a jetstream 31 to be coming next from black square...something in the light commuter range. I loved what PMDG did back in the day with it but think blacksquare could really take it further. Also, just in case any one is listening...I am a fan of the ERJ 135-145 series. Not as complex as fly by wire but still so great...I know there is the 170/190 series but they are a different gen. Either way, my cc is ready for the piston and turbine from day 1!

March 15, 20242 yr I luv'd the RealAir Duke but now am trying to simulate being an owner in real life so I'm only allotted one expensive HJET. sp
