Hi All

Well I just brought this even though I did not like the demo but wanted to support the developer because has lots of potential and I love this plane, after a couple of flights its not bad actually, few things I noted have not flown a real duchess for many years but recall a few things

1.) could do with some optimising really belts my 8700K 1080Ti but acceptable
2.) Pitch controls are very twitchy and difficult to balance
3.) Seems a little overpowered from my memory of the real plane
4.) Magnetos are very difficult to move with mouse and its really hit and miss when checking mags before takeoff
5.) Could not get the right engine to start had to use the utility and started straight away, will keep testing(Got it started once thus far)
6.) Very squirrely on the take off, not as stable directionally as one would expect from counter rotating props such as the duchess, could my rudder pedals but all other aircraft seem fine, its a real balancing act to keeps this thing straight until lift off


other than that I really love it and it brings back some great memories, a few more patches and this will be awesome

Regards
Wayne

Cheers martyn, the main reason i brought this was because of your excellent attitude and support, you gave me confidence the duchess can only get better and not be neglect ware like some developers
