It goes without saying that I will return to the Duke with a proper start-up video, a simplified written procedure, and a deeper dive through it’s systems. It’s a very well modelled aircraft.

Great sound quality from you Jonathan :)

That sound at the end is the mechanical gyros slowly spinning down after power is removed. It is pretty realistic for a steam gauge aircraft... they do spin down for quite a while.

How'd you assess its flying model? I've just started trying it and it seems quite hard to pitch, trim, yaw, etc. It's too stable and too unstable same time, hard to explain. I have experience flying SEP irl and I know it should not be easy , but I am not sure if it really should feel this way at twins of this size.

Are you using VR in this [excellent] video? If so which headset, please? ---> Ah, it seems you're using a headtracker; which one? Finally, have you tried this with VR? Thank you.

I'm using a Tobii Eye Tracker 5. I haven't tried it with VR.

I imagine a small army of people far more knowledgeable than me will endeavour to decide that in the comments of every video they can possibly comment on :)

Also if you have the Blackbird Cessna 310, it would be interesting to revisit that and compare.

I haven't seen one single video of a the B60 addon that shows proper runway centerline tracking on takeoffs. The aircraft wobbles all over the runway, indicating some serious flight model problems already. No thanks. It's pretty though.

Won't be an issue in SU15, they've completely revamped the ground physics. It's also tricky to get your rudders dialed in. I wouldn't not buy it on that account.

@@IslandSimPilot Sorry, heard that line before, promises Asobo will fix everything in the next SU release, lol. It shouldn't be an issue now. The name of the game is to hype a release to the max to garner initial sales, then make excuses as long as possible until demand inevitably wanes. Welcome to the world of MSFS addons.

@@FlightSimCFI Not this bad though. Other developers at least find ways to mitigate ground steering problems. Black Square, not so much.
