Thanks for the heads-up. Nice plugin. Another way to do quickly check the HG" equivalent is to go into X-Plane's weather settings and switch the QNH units setting between hPa and HG". X-Plane shows the current QNH converted to whatever unit is selected. I guess the pilots of this aeroplane must have some kind of conversion table to hand?

OK, thanks, I didn't know that before.

Hi Goran, I'll repeat what I said on another thread: simply brilliant aircraft. THANKS! Here's a minor suggestion: can you place a marker in the Kollsman window so we can more accurately choose the correct altimeter setting. Also, is there a simple way to have the altimeter display hectopascals instead of Hg"? Aussie and European pilots may well prefer the hPa subscale since our forecasts don't use Hg" Cheers Rich

I did notice the change in performance on the change of surface e.g. sluggish acceleration on dirt. I just found it was not possible to steer. I could see the nose-wheel and rudder moving but there was no change in direction. I know you said you'd fixed it but just for information anyway, I disabled the Chase View deluxe plugin and also checked the nosewheel in normal outside views. It was still above the ground. Could that explain the lack of steering control in my case, or is the appearance of the wheel simply cosmetic and X-plane treats the wheel as if it was actually on the ground. In any case it might well be fixed now with your changes to the nosewheel. Again, thanks for the Duchess. It really is a work of art.

Hi Goran, Thanks for a brilliant a/c. I did my CIR in a Duchess with RQAC in Archerfield. Lovely bird to fly. Since you were asking for feedback, I would also like to comment on the Duchess' ground handling. I have the feeling that she skids and slides very easily, even with slow to moderate taxi-speeds. Above a certain speed, steering becomes almost impossible, like being on ice despite the ground being dry. I also have the floating nose-wheel issue (and am using Chase View deluxe) so I'm not sure if that could be the problem. I have tried with rudder pedals and flying mouse only as well. Could this have something to do with the "roughness" setting for the asphalt and dirt at YMUL in Voz' scenery or is there a friction setting for tires in planemaker. I am not an aircraft / scenery developer so I might well be talking nonsense. If everyone else is getting normal ground handling then it must be a problem here. Cheers! EDIT: sorry, posted to the wrong forum. This was supposed to go into Tech support. My aplogies.
