Black Square Piston Duke

The Black Square Piston Duke for Microsoft Flight Simulator is a meticulously detailed simulation of the Beechcraft Duke B60, featuring both the standard and 'Grand Duke' performance package variants. This add-on is known for its highly realistic systems and advanced features, making it one of the most sophisticated general aviation aircraft available in the simulator.

Key features include a comprehensive 160-page manual that covers all aspects of flying the Duke, from system operations to performance tables and electrical schematics. The Piston Duke boasts over 130 potential failures, including engine damage, which can be managed through an in-cockpit EFB tablet interface. This tablet also allows for configuration of options, payload settings, and real-time visualizers for engines, electrical schematics, and environmental systems.

The aircraft includes 12 hot-swappable radio configurations, compatible with PMS50 GTN 650 and TDS GTNxi 650, enhancing navigational flexibility. The simulation also features advanced environmental control and pressurization systems, voltage-based light dimming, and realistic gyroscope physics. Additionally, it supports dynamic weather effects like St. Elmo’s Fire and static discharge, adding to the immersive experience.
