FROOGLES HANGAR: TURBINE DUKE V2

[@swebsim5244]

It is so awesome that there are sort of scheduled videos now hahaha... It really makes me feel happy to watch your videos and to see them popping up on youtube more often in a week froogle... Big compliments, also for the great quality of your vids! It won't take long anymore before I have to Try to catch up with your videos hahah... Thanks mate!

[@frooglesim]

thankyou sir

[@swebsim5244]

frooglesim you are welcome... By the way, you might actually want to do a flight somewhere in the carribeans, with a landing on TNCM... There is a bigger island around 40 NM (if I remember correctly) from St Martin but seen as this is a fast aircraft you may want to take a look at the map surrounding Princess Juliana... Instalk the flytampa scenery of it and off you go, funny as well seen as you've been there a while ago! See what you can so with it...

[@danielbobbersmart3770]

Wow great plane there Froogle brill landing too cant wait to see you fly this again...

[@Dkentflyer]

Thankyou Froogle for sharing your thoughts on this amazing aircraft. I bought the duke B60v2 after seeing your review and just purchased this one to go into my hangar. Look forward to your in depth review

[@harleyblue999]

I think i should be buying this one looks and sounds awesome,thank you Froogle i will shortly be coming to the cape as my son has treated me to a day there while on my holiday in disney taking my wonderful grandchildren.

[@zk9058]

Fantastic first look....I'm loving my Duke Turbine V2 as well. It's worth mentioning that passenger cabin textures were also updated in V2 and look absolutely phenomenal. Maybe you can cover it in the in-depth review of this addon (which I look forward to watching soon). Keep up the great work!

[@StefanoBacchini]

Fantastic video Pete, I loved the aircraft. This one will definitely go on the "to-buy list". Cheers and thank you!

[@diogoreis1251]

That prop rotation animation looks so good(as well as everything else in this aircraft!)

[@mattd4616]

Great stuff Froogle, if it wasn't for you I wouldn't have known V2 of the turbine had been released. The Duke V2 is by far my favorite twin to fly in fact I've got close to 70 hours on that beauty. Looks like I'll be buying this beauty now, thanks for the heads up

[@frooglesim]

is a wonderful aircraft. glad you enjoyed the video

[@Lukeplanespotting]

Cant get over how smooth the prop animation is

[@MCP2002]

Excellent review, Froogle. Thanks for your time!

[@veltriix]

Man I love the PT-6 and when it starts up so awesome! And they really did a good job modelling the start, especially the sound!

[@heppler92]

Froogles Hangar....just awsome...same as the Duke V2 Really enjoying your Channel.

[@RemmyC4]

+Frooglesim Another great video. As for route... Vegas baby! Take some high rollers from VNY to KLAS. Keep it on PilotEdge. Love your PE videos.

[@jvs00051]

ANOTHER AWESOME VID FROOGLE :)) I'm gonna get this tonight to use w/ my P3D V3 and study up before I get on the throttles!

[@daniel_ellery]

Amazing stuff froogle. I like the new stuff coming out on your channel.

[@hayser8331]

Great video, bought the duke v2 on your recommendation. Probably the best aircraft I've owned for FSX.

[@amstevenson]

You mentioned a route from Athens to one of the Greek islands in a recent video. How about that for the in-depth video? I'd also be interested in a Hawaiian inter-island flight. Great video! Thanks Froogle!

[@williamalderson6677]

I have family in Orange County, CA and I fly into and out of SNA a lot from ORD. I have both the SNA scenery and the Duke...love 'em both! Not a real long flight but I like to fly from SNA to PSP and back every once and a while. My brother has homes in both Palm Springs and Orange County (Laguna Niguel) and he generally drives that distance. ;) Bill Alderson

[@FonzzyIn3D]

Loving the new show Froogle! Keep up the great work :)

[@frooglesim]

Thanks Fonzzy

[@stuartspeirs2892]

Nice video Pete, great looking aircraft and fsx setup oh and loving the new scheduling mate, many thanks. I'd love to see you fly from the recently released and absolutely awesome UK2000 Prestwick to Cumbernauld? I live in Kilmarnock and UK2000's Prestwick probably gets more traffic than the actual airport does. Cheers Pete

[@crarazy]

KDTW to 83D Detroit to St. Ignace, just across the Mackinac Bridge from Lower Peninsula in Michigan to Upper Peninsula. The Mackinac Bridge is larger than the Golden Gate.

[@russellmcox]

I've made many flights from Orange County Airport (when it was called that) to Catalina Island. Its not a long flight but its a neat approach to the end of the runway, with the hump in the middle. I'd love to see it again. Maybe from there go out to Lake Elsinore.

[@Republic3D]

I'm really loving this aircraft as well. The only other RealAir plane I have is the Lancair Legacy, which is my favorite FSX GA aircraft... until now. :) The takeoff and climb performance of this thing is incredible.

[@x4457]

Froogle, take the Duke from John Wayne to Santa Barbara on PilotEdge! That should be fun!

[@atheosxgaming]

are touchscreen monitors an option for buttons and switches in something like this? instead of using a mouse. has that kind of thing been explored and tried yet?

[@stephenpew5379]

Loving the hanger videos froogle. Would love to see a Glasgow to Barra flight - beach landing is a lovely change!

[@stevenfavignano2632]

Was my favorite when I was on FSX. I have it on X-Plane, but it is not as good. Good job Pete.

[@michaelschmitt2911]

Hey Froogle...thougt you would come up with a Fully Loaded on this Aircraft soon...would love to see it!!! Keep up your great work!

[@ateh1]

I am going to have a look at v2 of the Turbine Duke. Thank you for the review ..

[@frooglesim]

You're welcome

[@rayhughes]

Yeah Froogle !! Just purchased this as an upgrade (had the Duke V2) myself and loving every minute of it. As for a Route - how about Vienna to Innsbruk I know it is only Hanger material but I think you forgot to turn the Generators on and full cowl flaps open for take off and landing

[@ryaanbeg]

Hi,i have watched your vids and i would like to know how you add new planes such as the klm and how you get altitiude callouts.thanks

[@MrMJDangler]

Awesome plane! You should do a flight from CYAM (Sault Ste. Marie, ON) to CYTZ (Billy Bishop Island Airport, Toronto, ON). That would be a beautiful flight, from the scenery over the norther channel of Manatoulin Island, to the bustling airspace around Toronto.

[@flapsfull5418]

I don't know if it's possible and you want to make this route, but it's my suggestion. LSGG-LOWI ( in "icy" conditions, but it's not necessary ).

[@missingno3391]

I too love the look of these types of beechcraft. My favorite is the default baron that comes with x plane.

[@WiiBlackOpsMan]

hey just found your channel a few mins ago. could you do that video you mentioned in your review of the F.L.Y 5 about beginners in simulation games and good entry level joysticks/flight sticks? im looking to get one and this video would help alot. i know that video was releced nearly a year ago now but still id love to see it.

[@FoodOfTheGods666]

Would love to see you fly this from PANC to PAWD. Quite the challenging route due to the mountains and cold temperatures, but a beautiful area and something a Duke should be able to manage.

[@MrLandster]

which of the twin engine GA aircraft you have covered would you recommend? im flying the A2A c182 a lot atm and want to get something thats modelled the the same level but a step up in terms of the airframe before going to the pmdg 777

[@atheosxgaming]

havent watched one of your videos in awhile. but this was enjoyable. cant wait for VR sets to be a viable option to really get the immersion levels cranking.

[@DJVitoRSantoS100]

Hey Froogle, what about the flights on Pilot Edge? Looking forward for your IFR flights and exams. As of the route, you could use this baby on those flights. Keep up the awesome work. Cheers from Brazil :)

[@andy4b767]

I noticed that in your first impressions the cockpit is kind of different. Does each livery have different configurations within the cockpit in terms of how buttons are and how instruments are displayed?

[@tangowally]

Very nice video. For suggested route: push the envelope stay in California and do heavy traffic departure and approach with Pilot Edge

[@TheRealFSXGuys]

EGNM (Leeds Bradford Intl) -> EGUY (RAF Wyton) both close to the two places I live and both lovely airports. Not a long flight but not short one either. I love that flight :)

[@mfdc-3]

Nice video, great looking plane. How about flying from Denver (KDEN) to Aspen (KASE).

[@arnonmoscona]

How about doing Monterey to lake Tahoe for the fully loaded video? Perfect match for this bird plus two great sceneries.

[@Mirandorl]

I always notice how nice the other aircraft that are sitting in the background look in these vids. In my P3D other aircraft seem to look a bit rubbish, like the models are low detail. Are there addons for that, anyone know?

[@HankGamingTV]

great stuff Froogle!! KEEP IT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@vaughnbrenda8228]

How does it compare to the Carenado King Air? They are very similar or does the Duke have more complex system modeling?

[@deepredson]

Many Gracias to you. Great sounds!

[@danequartel8101]

Froogle. Is it possible for you to do a tutorial setting up TrackIR and Ezdok?

[@stevesumner9988]

I hope you see this. I used to have this aircraft when I had FSX, now I am flying P3Dv.4, and I don't have a backup of the download file. And now that Realairsimulations is gone, in your opinion, without divulging anything you shouldn't, which would get you into trouble, what would you recommend for P3Dv4? Appreciate your knowledge of aviation. Thaks S. Sumner

[@georgebeorn159]

Take the Duke V2 to Juneau. That was very cool.

[@NavyGuy2OO7]

Love the Turbine Duke and the Legacy V2s, I'm waiting on the B60 to get released for Prepar3D V3, I have FSX boxed and SE but lately I fly P3d more then anything.

[@NikalusK]

I love watching your videos! Be awesome to have an amazing sim experience like this however I'm not sure my computer could handle it Lol.

[@ChrisP286]

What about a flight from Biggin to a french airfield in the Pas-de-Calais or in Normandy somewhere, VFR?

[@John-sl3gb]

I personally use this route for my "shakedown" flights in Twins and Turbines, both airports are beautifully covered by either FSDreamTeam and LatinVFR. Its KFLL -> KEYW or in reverse if you want to showcase an ILS approach as KEYW does not have an ILS just a VOR/DME. The entire route of KFLL -> KEYW that I use is based on real flight plans: KFLL FIPID FOBIS KAINS GRITT FAMIN WEVER DVALL STING CHETS ATNAW BUSBY KEYW

[@fintraveler]

Ft. Lauderdale to St.Barts for the route?

[@dpc111]

Ok, here in 2021. Man I wish we could have this in MSFS. Miss those guys.

Are you also using Accu-feel in this video?

[@jako4178]

You should take it from EKKA-ESMS (Karup, Denmark to Malmö/Sturup, Sweden). Great video!

[@folcaljet00]

Froogle, I love the channel! Why not show off the beautiful Sierra Nevada mountains and fly KRNO (Reno) to KSMF (Sacramento)? It's short sweet and beautiful.

[@richardschwartz8348]

I'd like to learn to fly the Turbine Duke as I may buy one later in the year. I've got over 1000 hours in multi piston but zero hours in turbines. I'm not a gamer and would like to learn to fly the plane, make approaches, etc. Could you please recommend a flight sim? From what I gather, the two are FSX and P3D. Thanks.

[@briancrawley9555]

Sumburgh to Glasgow would be nice :) Love the look of this one, just going to buy it now :)

[@jeffpuha8187]

Hi. Can you please tell me which livery you need to use in order to get the gorgeous burl wood veneer cockpit panels? Thanks very much.

[@frooglesim]

+Jeff Puha The same as the one in the video?

[@jeffpuha8187]

+frooglesim No. The one in your video doesn't have the burl-wood panels. The one I'm talking about has the burl-wood around the instruments and around the clocks on the yokes. It also has tan leather seats. I've seen it in a couple of other KZbin videos about the plane. It's not a big deal. I'm sure I'll find out when I buy the plane. I was just curious because it looks so beautiful, and I won't be getting the plane for a few weeks.Thanks.

[@kiwiaz100]

+Jeff Puha its the standard livery HK-4628-G

[@jeffpuha8187]

Aaron Roberts Oh. Ok. Thanks a lot Aaron. Does RealAir give you a paint kit with this plane?

[@paulus474]

Wondering how you get such good frame rates and visual quality. Would be nice if you could do a video on your settings and tweaks (for example, do you use nVidea Inspector, etc. etc.)?!

[@frooglesim]

That's my secret sauce. If I do a video on it today, 58 muppets tomorrow turn up with identical FSX videos. They can figure out their own tricks ;)

[@erikkuppens5927]

nice flight, beauty aircraft. Fly it into monument valley !!

[@ProNerdChannel]

First! =D Nice vid Froogle! :) I am going to get this aircraft, looks pretty nice! Thanks for sharing with us.

[@frooglesim]

You're very welcome

[@cullenmac1]

Albequerque N.M. to Telluride Co. Is a fairly short scenic flight for the duke. Telluride is at about 9,500 asl.

[@pires4641]

No full mixture on takeoff/landing?

[@Mr66D]

Michael Pires Indeed the turbine Duke operates with the condition levers at low idle for all stages of flight, this is correct and in accordance with the manual

[@TheKillermops]

forgot the condition levers :P (I know it's the Hangar) Very nice Video as allways Froogle! Wish i had a machine like your new beast :P

[@ChrisP286]

Froogle, I know it's expensive, but I would love to see an in depth review with this, with the Flight1 GTN 750 as well, with an IFR flight. I am thinking about buying both the aircraft and the GPS, it would be nice to see a video on it!

[@AShadowboxsFSX]

I have the Duke V2, now you've got me seriously considering buying the Turbine Duke V2 as well. My wallet can't handle this Froogle! haha And for the route, I'd love to see you mix things up a bit. How about from the big island of Hawaii to Honolulu

[@frooglesim]

Someone else already pleaded with me to start looking at free add-ons ;)

[@joshbjerke]

+1 for that route. Then froogle can test the climb performance of those turbine engines with some warm pacific air.

[@Supaoscar51]

I don't know if you would at all know a fix for this, but Facetracknoir (Free alternative to trackir) doesn't work with FSX SE :( Do you know of any ways to get around this?

[@Supaoscar51]

Dw, Found a fix!!! D:\Steam\steamapps\common\FSX\SDK\Core Utilities Kit\SimConnect SDK\LegacyInterfaces\FSX-RTM. Install the setup in this file for anyone wondering!

[@TonyHarrisonPhotography]

Nice flight, and great looking aircraft. Was the landing with full flap or partial? The external replay didn't show that much displacement on the flap (maybe it just doesn't have a large range). Anyway, nice one - thanks for putting it together

[@frooglesim]

flaps set to approach, not full

[@woodleyj99iscool]

Also what are you using for head movement?

[@frooglesim]

Track IR

[@halbi1234]

I just bought Rex soft clouds. Do you still recommend getting Rex 4 texture direct?

[@frooglesim]

yes

[@halbi1234]

Okay thanks. Btw, they should give you money for making people buy their products :D

[@ceesderstelden6199]

Love youre new series! Maybe you should go to st Maarten st barth and Saba and fly three small hops for youre next video :)

[@atomicflyer68]

Froogle on the PT-6 engine the lag disappears above 70% N1. Which is where most condition levers are at high or flight idle. I noticed you left yours at low idle, have you tried flying it a high idle?

[@frooglesim]

not yet no

[@atomicflyer68]

frooglesim I work on PT-6s amlost every day in Vero Beach. We had two of the Rocket Engineering Turbine Dukes come in last year and they are very impressive royalturbine.com/

[@frooglesim]

very cool

[@flozigo97]

How about Vienna to Graz or somthing else in Austria?

[@jellybertdelattiba7603]

J bought it few weeks ago, added the F1 GTN 750 on it and ... Picked it up around Paris, flew a bit around with it and j'm now heading back to the Seattle area via Iceland ( Aerosoft ), Greenland (Nuuk FSDG ) etc ... Did the way down to the Alpes ( Where j live ! ) with the beautifull A2A PA24 Commanche. These are effectivly great planes to fly ... Sorry, to sim !

[@BenedictRaikes]

Great Video For the route you should do Sumburgh EGPB in the Shetland Islands (orbx has awesome scenery for Sumburgh) to Aberdeen EGPD or Edinburgh EGPH. Alternatively you could fly out to Bergen

[@markpeters4096]

Very nice plane, might have to be on my wishlist. How about a flight from Auckland (NZAA) to Christchurch(NZCH) in New Zealand??

[@Adam47150]

I know you posted this video a few days ago, but I suggest a short route of Bowman Field in Louisville KY to Evansville Regional Airport in Evansville IN.

[@biiokemisten]

So smooth head movements you're getting, so i have to ask, are you using any special TIR profile? TY

[@frooglesim]

Just the default "smooth" profile

[@biiokemisten]

frooglesim much appreciated

[@garrettscott8886]

when are you going to do more vids of this plane?

[@frooglesim]

+Garrett Scott Soon

[@garrettscott8886]

+frooglesim awesome. I just bought it and its a freaken nice aircraft. upgraded from a2a 172. wish the Duke had some of the features that a2a gives their planes though.

[@GreyMatter2006]

Munich to Innsbruck, this would be the perfect aircraft for getting around that valley

[@spitfire125]

is this available on the steam edition

[@Kalabenos]

How about a flight across New Zealand?

[@golfguyw5]

Great video Froogle. Really look forward to your reviews, especially on GA aircraft. How about a flight from KHND to the relatively new Orbx Palm Springs airport KSPS? Just about the right distance for a review video.

[@colingreenall2779]

Looks great Froogle, have you not tried the best aircraft for X-plane, the absolutely wonderful Saab 340A. caravancol

[@afpwebworks]

For the route - if you have ORBX New Zealand South Island, there are LOTS of fantastic places to fly amongst the mountains, and New Zealand is small enough you wont have 5 hour flights. I suggest Christchurch NZCH to Queenstown NZQN or maybe Nelson NZNS to Mount Cook NZMC. Nelson is at sea level - a small port, and Mount Cook is at the foot of NZ's tallest mountain. AMAZING scenery with ORBX.

[@totoritko]

Just FYI, after takeoff, you should back off the props to the center position in the upper green band (for that engine it should be around 1900 rpm) - this should happen as part of the "climb power" setting and certainly throughout your downwind. The reason for having props full fwd for takeoff is to make the maximum possible power output available in case of single engine failure. Power, as you know, is a product of rpm and torque. Turbine engines produce a fixed amount of power at a given power lever setting, so by taking the props up to their maximum rpm setting, you can take the power up to the torque limit of the machinery. After takeoff, though, you should back off the props to their "happy place" in the middle of the green band, since you don't need all that power range anymore (sufficient altitude and hence, time, to address issues). Then, on final, again slam props full fwd to make the maximum power range available in case of go-around or an emergency. Didn't notice if this plane had an auto-feather system, but you'd treat that similarly (i.e. arm auto-feather close to the ground where seconds count).

[@Randarino]

Great video, as usual, Froogle. It is hard to watch this video and not get my credit card out.

[@Msfs2024HD]

I agree with the brakes, they are way too sensitive so you have to be gentle with them. Nice video

[@frooglesim]

Yeah thought that was a little weird.

[@jackrobinson6866]

frooglesim Could you apply some settings in FSUIPC where there is a slope on the brakes, so they're not as hard?

[@Msfs2024HD]

i tried that but it doesnt seem to make any difference Ok I think I found a fix for the toe brakes. In the aircraft.cfg I changed the toe_brakes_scale = 0.25 //0.65 from 0.65 and its a lot better now

[@goodboid]

Froogle, do a VFR flight in British Columbia. Say from Squamish to one of those airports besides a lake. Or ORBX has some great scenery for that part of the world, especially Stewart Aerodrome. Maybe do a quick flight to Ketchikan International from Stewart.

[@Pe11ePD]

Nice stuff! But I'm confused how in the world you managed to get 60fps all the time, especially on final? There is NO system that can handle 60fps with all addons (detailed airport, AI, detailed plane...).

[@frooglesim]

maybe one day I'll do a video on how I make videos. until then it remains Froogles secret sauce

[@Dennree99]

Lol maybe he has sim speed set to 0.5 and then renders the video at 2x speed.

[@frooglesim]

H171001 LOL!!Yup my secret is out - I record and then play back and painstakingly go through frame by frame putting the mouse pointer in by hand for clicking stuff

[@Dennree99]

frooglesim I knew it! Joke's aside, seems like you have one of the best sim setups in the world, apparently. Keep it up!

[@alibabkebBiggins8406]

I'm not sure if it's a bug, FSX was running at 120 fps last night. I wase awsomely surprised!

[@TW19567]

San Diego to Santa Barbara is my route suggestion

[@foxtrotsim8054]

Go from Redding Muni. KRDD --> Monterey KMRY, I did it a few days ago and it if beautiful, you take off and fly over fields, then over cities as you pass the bay, and San Fran is in the distance, then you fly along the coast and take it into Monterey from over the ocean. 45min -> 1hr.20 depending on the plane you take.

[@MrDomP]

Hi Froogle :) What's the top speed of this new version? Great video by the way , I have the last version of this duke and it's my favourite GA Aircraft Regards Dom

[@n0soc]

Fly from Bern to Sion, both Siwtzerland. You can make most of the power, since you'll be needinging to overfly large mountains and get a look at some glaciers on the route. Time estimate: 30 min. with this baby.
