Black Square Turbine Duke

The Black Square Turbine Duke for Microsoft Flight Simulator is an advanced and highly detailed simulation of the Beechcraft Duke B60 with turbine engines. This add-on includes over 130 possible system failures, making it one of the most technically complex aircraft available for the simulator. The failures can be triggered randomly, scheduled, or performance-based, adding a significant level of realism and challenge for users.

The aircraft features a new tablet interface that allows pilots to configure options, manage payload settings, and monitor real-time visualizations of engines, electrical schematics, and environmental systems. This interface also facilitates managing failures and simulating persistent wear and maintenance needs. The Turbine Duke includes twelve hot-swappable radio configurations, covering a range of navigation systems from different eras, and supports modern avionics like the Garmin GTN 750.

The Turbine Duke’s flight dynamics are meticulously modeled to match the real-world aircraft's performance, with detailed simulations of turboprop engine behaviors, including hot starts, compressor stalls, and fuel control failures. The cockpit is primarily analog, augmented with modern radio navigation equipment, offering an immersive and realistic IFR flying experience. The aircraft also features a fully simulated environmental control and pressurization system, realistic soundscapes developed in collaboration with Boris Audio Works, and detailed 3D gauges based on real-world units. Overall, the Black Square Turbine Duke is designed for pilots seeking a deep, realistic, and challenging flight simulation experience.
