Digital dash screens, Gauges, Switches & a Monitor screen.
The airplane is fully modifiable! You can attach objects & prims to the plane. Texture maps are included for the fuselage, wings, tail and rudder. All interior textures are directly modifiable.
The BC Duke has an Automatic Landing system with a customizable notecard integrated into the HUD. You can either land at the 30+ airports listed in the HUD or add your own.
Once you choose your destination the plane will automatically descend to that airport. The system controls rate of descent and speed, you simply steer the plane left or right.
4 Fully automatic Take Off modes - Left / Straight long field & short field/ Right.
Built-in automated wind system.
Selectable wind direction HUD.
Independent rudder control for correcting yaw.
2 Flap modes, normal and fast sink rate.
Articulated flaps and nose gear.
To operate the wind system type "ww" (without parenthesis) in chat and then toggle the wind direction by typing "w" repeatedly until you find the wind direction you want. The wind direction is also shown in chat.
The plane will now fly as though there's a wind force on it. The wind system is active and changes force depending on the plane's orientation to the selected wind direction. If the wind is coming directly at the front of or the back of the plane there will be a change in speed. If the wind is coming towards the plane at a 45 degree angle there will be a moderate change in speed as well as a cross-wind/sideslipping effect. And if the wind is coming directly at the side of the plane there will be a maximum amount of cross-wind/sideslipping effect.
The force of the wind is also affected by the airplane's speed.
Altitude HUD. The plane will either automatically rotate and climb or descend and level to the altitude you choose.

Easy to fly and good looking
And packed with options and HUDs, and that all for a cost that's half of what you'd pay for other planes sometimes.. so yes, totally worth it in my honest opinion.
Just wished it came with more textures to choose from, but as it's modify, maybe at some time will get to it myself, or find a good texture for it which isn't this boring, sorry, but it is. But that's not the fault of the creator, it's just the typical style of it hehe
Very nice little twin engine.
Super easy to fly and modify to your liking, easy region crossings, easy manual landing and takeoff, this is a great little plane to break the monotony of flying the bigger jets but also more advanced than many smaller planes, I would say it's good for a new pilot to learn in and fun for more advanced pilots! A++
Perfect!!!!
Whenever I give my SeaXwind a break, I use this one :P Reminds me of the plane from Jurassic Park 3 haha I love it!
Great Plane full of options to suit most needs and pilot abilities. A well thought out aircraft.
I held off buying this plane until i had time to fly & review it properly. There are endless options for customising this plane to suit whatever type of need you have for a plane of this size.
Pros:
Excellent flight physics, with a great balance of realism & practicality for flying in SL.
Perfect size for a small to medium hangar and the interior is not ruined by un-necessary gimmicks like some other planes have with media screens & the like which just increase crossing problems.
Ability to re-texture is easy as the plane is mod so you can use the local texturing to align your textures before uploading them and save on wasted uploads of trial textures.
Endless additional systems such as wind effect & turbulence, automated systems for landing and take-off too many really to list but all add to the overall quality of this build and flight simulation.
LOD is perfect unlike some other makers who try to tell you to cure the LOD issue by raising your viewer levels to accomodate the lack of thought when they uploaded their models.
Cons:
No ability to resize to true scale 1:1.
Texture mapping is great for basic texturing but could do with being re-wrapped especially on the ailerons and the tail areas for more detailed texturing by creative texturers. This change would make this plane a leader in its size range in SL Aviation, not to say it isn't already up there with the best models.
Conclusion: Overall this plane is priced correctly for what you are getting, it has a great level of extras to keep the most demanding pilot happy with toys. Flight Sim realism is one of the top levels of planes in SL currently, and the ability to create add-ons is easily open for further customization from third party builders.
Very Great Plane. from Java. co-worked with Carly
This is my Replacement of EG's Cessna 421 Golden Eagle. with Newer BC Duke Aircraft from Java Mocha. I believe this Aircraft had most of New Features than Cessna 421 by EG one. and I've bought from Java because my Cessna 421 was accidented on the Cheerport Runway. and I've tried this Aircraft on Hollywood Airport yesterday. :)
Feel free to Comment to my review :)

Simply the best
Excellent handling and crossings and a nice model. Java has created another master piece that flies like a dream. His planes have become the standard for Unity Airlines. Excellent work.
