BACK IN TIME - Let's fly a 1980's DUKE THE ORIGINAL WAY | Real Airline Pilot

[@A330Driver]

I know you guys want a video of the Turbine Duke. So do I. Unfortunately I got my copy of the Dukes only a day before I went onto a 7 day trip flying and thus simply had limited time. I meant to create a Turbine Duke video, but wanted to create it last after the two other Dukes so that I would have the most experience with the plane by the time I start recording something as things are going really fast in the Turbine version due to the huge power of the engines. I started recording it, was halfway through the flight - and then had a power outage at home. I didn't have the time to record another one so it'll have to wait until I'm back home again towards the end of next week. Sorry guys.

[@Jannik_Stein]

unfortunate, but hopefully we can fly this thing ourselves even sooner than that.

41:40 open press air temp switches (above the red ones) to give more hot air from engines for the cabin

[@gardvol]

Awesome! One of the best tutorials you can find on KZbin. This Duke is simply "breathtaking"... a true masterpiece.

Always big fun flying steam gauge equipped aircraft. I learned to fly in the 80’s and even though I fly G1000 equipped aircraft in RL from time to time, I never got used to the glass cockpit and I’ll go for a classic 6 pack aircraft whenever I can. Even for IFR flying. I must be getting old 😅 Kudos to Black square for this beautiful aircraft!

[@juliashenandoah3965]

No you are not getting old - you have a common sense of STYLE and design! ;) Because these ugly smartphone screens in cockpits that look like all gauges removed and glued an iPad to the cockpit instrument panel instead look and feel all the same. Airplanes equipped with it (no matter if it´s a C172 or a King Air) all literally get the same boring look and feel inside. Airplanes have nothing unique and personal anymore when equipped with these uniform glass screens. Imagine a world where all cars from small hatchback to SUV to super sports car all getting their speedometer and other indicators and instruments ripped out, and afterwards getting a smartphone glued to the dashboard with an ugly year 2000-operating system speedometer app running....... No one is doing that atrocity with cars! :D So why is this enforced so hard with all airplanes?

Brings back retro sim-memories… I learned radio-nav from a licensed IFR private pilot in 1989-90, using (yes, laugh now…) FS-II from SubLogic on an Atari ST… 🥸 I know, that sim was really rudimentary, but actually enough to grasp the very idea of VORs, ADF or NDB - even ILS. Progressing through sims until MSFS 2020 I still imagine my “instructor’s” (actually studio musician colleague) calm voice as my… PM, let’s say. As basic as it was, still a profound intro to IFR to me - Which is also why I highly appreciate Emi’s modern day efforts in sharing everything he does. Humble thanks…!

[@Grumps730]

I really do enjoy your detailed videos mate. There is no missing the fact that you do have a voracious appetite for All things dealing with aviation. Kudos to you man, even though you are a real world commercial airline pilot, with time consuming schedules, you still do find the time to share with us, the flight sim community. Thank you Emi😊

[@A330Driver]

Thank you so much! That’s really appreciated!

[@AlexdAviator]

15:36 love the video, especially because i’m from milan but just a reminder that the accident happened in linate, not in bergamo.

[@A330Driver]

Did I say Bergamo? Meant Linate of course!

[@AlexdAviator]

@@A330Driver ahaha, no worries man, love your content, i have to compliment you on the a320 guide, it has helped me a lot. can’t wait for the next part

[@AlexdAviator]

did’t realise you just dropped that video, great timing lol

[@Glider324]

Thank you for going retro. This is exactly one of the use cases I wanted to explore in the duke as a good contrast to hi-tech jetways nav.

[@Th1235]

I bought the MSFS 2020 only for those two/three aircraft. I still use the good old FSX, and I also fly in XP11 and I have many, many aircraft in DCS that I really enjoy. But I didn't wanted to mess around with a fourth flight sim. But this/those aircraft have finally won me over. As a true aviation enthusiast there is simply no way around those aircraft and the entire "experience package" that comes with them. I can't wait to fly this proper prop 70's style, just like you did in this vid :)

[@A330Driver]

I‘m sure you will love it! It’s a style of flying of a past age that only just became accessible in our sim thanks to Black Square and one that really makes you feel like you’ve accomplished something when you get it right.

[@garysmith5256]

Literally a time machine. Takes me back to flying with my dad in his Mooney 231 Turbo, another late 70s-early 80s hotrod. Also with then state of the art KNS 81. Navigation was a very different animal in those days before GPS. Greatly appreciate your use of less than ideal weather, as most video evaluators just set ideal conditions. The one thing that flight simulators so luxuriously allow us to bypass is the need for proper judgement... IFR ratings and navigation equipment notwithstanding, I doubt that we'd have chosen to fly in those conditions if given the choice. Takeoff with GA aircraft in thise days srraight into the IFR soup when icing is down there inside the first 10000 feet is just rolling the dice. Thanks for the great review!!!

[@bobmarino350]

Yep, that’s how we used to do it. Thanks for the memories!

[@gwalker3092]

Respect to aviators of the past but thank you for inventing gps 😂. Looking forward getting the dukes and thx for the video

[@A330Driver]

Haha, when you get more familiar with this way of navigation it actually becomes quite easy, but sure enough nothing beats a good GPS. Well, nothing but jamming and spoofing equipment 😂

[@hefy2jefy]

Excellent thank you, my kind of flying! You can use a "hidden" mouse point between thr two cowl flap switches to operate both togther.

[@GWAIHIRKV]

What a great flight and instructional video. Thank you.

[@cowtung7355]

Thank you for more video for this plane, and good video for us to learn how fly this great machine

[@A330Driver]

You’re welcome!

[@bigbasspic]

Die Dukes, Flightcontrol-Checks und du seid noch nicht so richtig gute Freunde 😂 Besides, wie immer ein klasse Video, danke!

[@Metzlx]

I loved this video, i like a little bit of conventional IFR flying

[@kurohone]

I might buy this plane just to have that sound play while I sleep. It's fantastically soothing.

[@A330Driver]

Hahaha, well it would certainly be worth it 😂

[@dolf1010]

Great turbo charger sound , feel back in time of old navigation . With the super constellation from Just Flight in MSFS X .

[@A330Driver]

Do you mean the one from Red Wing? Always had an eye on it but never got around to try it.

Emi, watching fly duke makes me hate you just a bit lol! Just kidding, great video, and I can’t wait to get my hands on this plane!

[@yams900]

Danke ! Wasn't meant to buy when available...think I really need this aircraft :)

It’s certainly a lovely aircraft, I’m sure you will have lots of fun with it!

@@A330Driver when it’s going to be released?

[@flywithju]

Great Video ,Thank you very much! Is the kns81 capable of flying rnav-1 operations?

[@A330Driver]

I don't think it is.

[@flywithju]

@thats bad so is it not Even capable of flying rnav arrivals? Some Airports for example lelystad are not Even approachable with this system. Not so cool…

[@A330Driver]

@ It's 1980's tech, back then RNAV arrivals basically didn't exist.

[@kiekiek]

Are you gonna cover the Beyond ATC add on that released yesterday in early access. Curious about that one.

[@DanielZerem]

This might be for me as I do not know how to use those Garmin devices. I struggle to find and manuals or videos that explains them in depth.

[@A330Driver]

I certainly find the Garmins easier to use, but I'll put them on the list for a tutorial at some point in the future. Flying old school style really has its very own charme though.

[@DanielZerem]

@@A330Driver Much appreciated as at the moment I stay away from any plane with Garmin units as I just dont understand them due the lack of any documentation.

[@ArrRoh]

How’s the elevator sensitivity? I’ve got the Milviz 310 and the sensitivity on that elevator is unflyable, even with deadzones, shallower curves, null zones etc I really love this aircraft but worried about that. Is it similar to the TBM850? I’ve got that and it’s awesome in terms of elevator handling

[@A330Driver]

I'd say it's similar to the TBM, yes. Not quite the same in terms of handling of course, but similar in terms of how well it can be flown. It's well controlable and the controls themselves are well balanced. I think you will be happy with it.

[@ArrRoh]

@@A330Driver thank you as always 🙏🏽

[@Th1235]

Die Navigation mit dem KNS 81 ist praktisch eine Art "Bullseye Navigation" und würde somit auch mit Punkten die nicht Teil von offiziellen V-Airways sind funktionieren. Ist das korrekt? Man braucht nur ein VOR mit DME. Das Problem ist nur, dass Punkte, die nicht direkt auf einem Radial liegen, mit abnehmender Entfernung vom "Bullsey" immer schwerer zu bestimmen wären. PS: Kann man da tatsächlich dezimal Grad, angeben?. Das würde die Bestimmung eines Punktes abseits eines Radials offensichtlich zehnmal genauer machen. Minute 54:34 hat die Frage geklärt.

[@MojaveHigh]

I really hope Black Square decides to risk it and release the Dukes before SU15; the regular SU15 delays are going to give "imminent" a new meaning of 3-4 weeks.

[@FlameBot]

Hope they improve the other black square planes as well like the analog caravan or king air. They never reached v1.0 😢

[@BigJohnson911]

Still waiting for "Imminent Release PMDG 777" video from you.

Nice video, curious what size monitor are you using?

[@A330Driver]

Hi, I'm using a 42" monitor.

[@mikeburkett4014]

How do I active license for the duke

[@BenAnderson48]

The Duke looks a bit more roomy than I originally thought- would you say it's bigger or the same size as a TBM or M500?

[@A330Driver]

I'd say it's bigger. But in simulators it's always hard to judge. For instance the 737 looks really huge in VR in MSFS, much bigger than it really is.
