Thanks for answer ! Ah yes, I didn't look under "Adv. Buttons" . Thought that's just for "buttons" and "toe brakes" belongs to "axis" ?... Well, I will give it a try... To climb over the clouds and avoid storm and icy conditions ... Well that was my idea ! But when I reached about 2500ft (inside the clouds) , I got -6C° outside and my Beech Duchess felt "heavy" ,loosing airspeed and started to drop the nose . So I decided to descend for sea level (about -1 to +1 C°) . It was a "thrilling" flight for some minutes , but your Duchess could master the problems very well. The rest of the flight was just normal business with an absolutely safe touchdown on the 25 at Port Hardy (just by the way : no problems with the brakes). I love your Beech Duchess ~ marvellous aircraft design for x-plane ! And I really like your 2D/3D cockpit design; one of the best I have seen until now in x-plane for a GA aircrafts... Maybe you could bring a TurboTwin on the market: B200 or 350 ; C441 or a Piper Cheyenne ? Best Regards Thomas

Hhmm, I was looking for joystick settings (Windows and x-plane) , but I didn't find them (no settings for regular or max pressure under both menus) . Could you specify where to find those settings ? Just by the way: Today I was flying from Qualicum Beach (CAT4) to Port Hardy (CYZT) with the Duchess. Because of really nasty Weather conditions ( snow/rain, low clouds and icy conditions) I had to fly between 500 and 700 ft ( so I had to take the long way around the hills ). Once I was near to a crash ,because of ice on the plane ! It's true, that the Beech Duchess has no epuipment against ice on wings and body ? And for the first minutes it was a problem to bring the RPM to 2700 ; it stopped by 2550 RPM - is that correct ( I use v1.1 ) Best Regards Thomas

Thanks for the fast answer ! Well, good that I didn't play with the adjustments in plane-maker until now ... I will try your advice with the settings for joysticks . Best Regards Thomas

Dear Sir / Madame, I bought your wonderful Beech Duchess for x-plane 9.62 First of all, thank you for that excellent aircraft (the first one , I am really satisfied with in x-plane ~ think to buy some other aircrafts of x-aviation). I have a question ,nobody could aswer in the forums ... I just want to "tweak" /adjust the brake force, because my SAITEK Rudder System makes some trouble (already with FSX the same ). When I taxi to the rwy and press the toe brakes (full pressure) ,it needs some time until I "feel" that the plane is slowing down to a stop. It sems that I cannot adjust the brake force with the toe brake; on/off fact = full brake force or no brake force (is that true in x-plane v9.62 ?) Same test with using the parkbrake: it's much faster ! I don't know where to adjust the brake force ... Maybe in plane-maker ! But where ? - landing gear friction coefficient ??? I don't know ... Maybe you are able to help me ? Thanks and Best Regards Thomas Fischer (simpilot1267)
