brett 2,284 Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 Nicely done Martin, the Duke just keeps getting better. Link to post Share on other sites
MartinW 0 Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 What can I say, in my opinion it's RealAir's best release yet. Iv'e been too busy this week showing tons of people round my house to fly it much. Hoping to get some flying in at the weekend if the viewings calm down. May get the Flight1 GTN 750 for it.

brett 2,284 Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Perfect gauge for that aircraft, have fun. Link to post Share on other sites
needles 1,010 Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Nice review Martin. Perhaps it's time to start looking at RealAir for a change. Cheers. Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Coffee 2,030 Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Looks amazing. Def going onto my shopping list. I have gotten used to Turboprop lag, even though I don't much like it, the power they produce is worth the hassles. re: cockpit lighting, I have Flysimware's Cessna 402 for FSX that uses dimmer switches for instruments and panel lights, operated by mouse scroll wheel, Extremely useful and appreciated touches IMO. Excellent review. Cheers. Link to post Share on other sites
MartinW 0 Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 Nice review Martin. Perhaps it's time to start looking at RealAir for a change. Cheers. I would highly recommend RealAir, and as Mutley will tell you I'm a fussy devil. I tend to complain about things most don't give a damn about. I have the B60 V2 and the Lancair, as well as the turbine V2 as well now of course. All awesome add-on's and very addictive. Flight dynamics are top-notch and systems modelling too. The thing that impresses me about Rob and Shaun is their dedication. Rob was telling me a while back about the customisation, re-coding and hundreds of hours of tweaking they did. Impressive for a mere two man team. Link to post Share on other sites

Excellent review. Cheers. There are quite a few add-on's now with adjustable cockpit lighting. PMDG for example. Yes, this was my only "minor" criticism. The panel was a bit darker than I would have liked at night. may be just my setup. No big deal, I'm being ultra fussy as usual, but a method to adjusting the panel lighting to suit individual requirements would be good. Link to post Share on other sites
donnybalonny 46 Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Realair has been a top develloper since ages. Their fs2002 Siai Marchettti was a milestone in AC, the fs2004 and fsx versions just got better. The Scout was my favorite and still is an absolute top bush plane. After buying that one, I stopped liking other publishers AC. Unfortunately they produce few AC and what they make now is not really my cup of tea. I´m into other kind of AC. I´ve never liked the looks of the Duke, but reviews like this one makes me think. Maybe i should change my likings. Link to post Share on other sites

wain 879 Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Great review Martin, you swung it, I bought both Fsx & P3D versions yesterday. Love Realair products, I have Legacy and SF260as well as old v1 Duke. Had issue with install but Rob was brilliant, emailing me 4 times in 1.5 hours to sort it, top dog company, will always recommend... wayne Link to post Share on other sites
MartinW 0 Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 And don't forget Wayne, RealAir is just a two man team. Imagine how much blood sweat and tears is required by a mere two man team to produce such a nice add-on. Link to post Share on other sites
