Updates Coming!

Following the release of Prepar3D v3 we are working hard on updating our two Dukes and Lancair Legacy. All three are being updated for dual use in Prepar3D v2 and v3 including Flight1 GTN integration. The Turbine Duke V2 will be updated for easy installation into P3D v3 and the Piston Duke B60 and Legacy will also be revised for not only Prepar3D v2 and v3 but also updated to the same standard as our Turbine Duke V2, with enhanced sounds and an optional turbo-engined model for the Legacy.

We expect the Turbine Duke and Legacy updates will be available very soon (we are in the final testing stages). The Piston Duke V2 will also be updated in the near future to V2.5 including landing light options to address clickspot problems some users are having, plus full integration with GTN gauges, improved sounds, and installers for P3D v2 and v3.

Please do not email us about the above! We will make announcements here just as soon as the products are read to go. Thanks for your patience!

Most importantly, the Piston Duke will have GTN capability after this.

Sure like to see a "state of the art" update of their "Sai Marchetti 260".  Like me it's getting a little long in the tooth.

Thanks for the update Glenn, that's really good the hear! The piston Duke is my most flown aircraft to date in FSX. I never really warmed to the turbine Duke so much despite it's performance. I still haven't picked up the v2 of that.

It's great, as long as we don't have to buy it yet again. I've got V2 of both Dukes, but if he wants yet more money for V2.5 (and still no paint kit) then I'll pass unless it's only $5 or so.

There's a paintkit for the v2 piston on their site HERE. No turbine though unfortunately.

Yeah, I do have that one Scott. It's the turbine one I've been after. Doesn't seem like it's forthcoming and that plane is a bitch to paint without it. I must admit, I too prefer the piston model though. It definitely needs the GTN however. Thanks for the link Scott

[scottb]

How much difference is there between the piston and turbine texture sheets? Wondering if it's possible to use some of the paint kit of the piston for the turbine. I would have thought there would a good amount of overlap, unless they made a lot more changes to the model.

It works a bit Scott, but they have mapped a number of things differently (the wheels for example). It's a lot of work to the point where you're better off just modifying existing colours but sticking with the original design unfortunately. Good thought though.

Damn!  Yet another reason to get the GTN.  If it goes on sale, do let me know, won't you?

Oh but Fritz. It's ALWAYS on sale. The never take it off the market so it's always for sale. It's just a question of how much it costs . You do realize, "resistance is futile," eh?

I'm not sure if F1 has sales. They might I guess, but I've not seen them.
