The Engine Clusters for the Black Square (BKSQ) Duke Piston B60 and B60 Grand are now completed. The package not only includes the Manifold Pressure, RPM, Fuel Flow, Oil Pressure, Oil Temperature and Cylinder Temperature Gauges in full format,
but it also comes with an Extended OTP version that integrates the left and right OTPs plus the Fuel Quantity Indicators for either the B60 or B60 Grand together.
Low Fuel Indicators, resembling the ones on the Duke Turbine, are also implemented. Continue reading

548: RDA Update Looks Cool in the Cockpit
Radar Altimeter (RDA) is an avionic device that is used to measure the distance (or the Above Ground Level (AGL) altitude) between an aircraft and the terrain presently beneath it. 
The Duke B60 and Duke Turbine from RealAir Simulations are both equipped with a piece of the instrument in their cockpits.
After an AGL altitude is selected, the DH (Decision Height) indicator of the RDA on the Duke B60 or Duke Turbine will lit up when the aircraft is within 100 feet below the set point, and turn off when the 100 feet range is passed. The corresponding FIP Duke Shared RDA I developed for the two aircraft was designed and programmed in this manner.
However, a new user, Ken, wrote to me recently saying that the DH indicator on the real RDA doesn’t react this way. Continue reading
498: RealAir Duke Gauges R2 Update
The FIP Gauges for Duke B60 and Duke Turbine from RealAir Simulations have been updated to version 
R2, which includes new gauges (such as a new Engine 4 in the Turbine set as shown on the right) besides fixes and optimizations.
In addition, the updated gauges are now Logitech drivers compatible.
Exisitng users should have received notification emails containing download links in their mailboxes by now. Should any user not receiving the update, feel free to contact me by email or via Comment of this post.
350: Duke Gauges Updated
Just created a dual-needles Integrated Oil Gauges for the B60. Surely not a big deal but it at least eliminates 1 device from the original 14 FIP counts.
In addition, Aileron, Elevator and Rudder Trim Wheels and Flaps Indicators are also added to the Vertical Speed gauge as planned.
Existing users will receive Continue reading
349: Duke B60 Engine Gauges Released
Despite little interest received, I just created the engine set for the RealAir Duke B60, which 
totals five gauges, including the Manifold Pressure Indicator, Tachometer, Fuel Flow Indicator and two Integrated Oil Pressure, Oil Temperature & CHT Temperature Indicators, so as to complete the aircraft’s cockpit development.
Since I don’t have 14 FIPs either, Continue reading
346: For B60 Users’ Eyes Only
There are a few inquiries asking if I will do the engine gauges for the RealAir Duke B60, in particular.
“How many simmers would have 14 FIPs to accommodate the full B60 set in their system?” is really a question. Therefore, the priority of them is very low on my project development list.
Anyway, here’s the artwork of the engine gauges for those who are interested. They may (most likely, should) come one day.

342: RealAir Duke V2 Gauges Second Release
Following the un-announced Vertical Speed Indicator (VSI), the remaining Altimeter (ALT), Radio Altitude Indicator (RDA), Radio Magnetic Indicator (RMI) and VOR2 with GlideSlope Indicator (VOR2) for the Duke B60 & Turbine were completed earlier than expected.
However, the Airspeed Indicator (ASI) for the Duke B60 version is still under development. But it should be ready soon. (Done)
Actually, except a few, Continue reading
341: First 4 Gauges for RealAir Duke V2
The project for the RealAir Duke Turbine V2 gauges have been started for nearly a month. At present, the Airspeed Indicator (ASI), Attitude Indicator (ATI), Horizontal Situation Indicator (HSI) and Turn Coordinator (TCR) are now ready, in which the latter three share the same gauges on the Duke B60 as well.
Similar to the last B58 Baron/Carenado project, Continue reading
