I am very impressed and by this airplane. However, for me it’s too complex. This includes all the startup procedures, no Simbrief support and it seems not possible to import flight plans via Microsoft Flightplanner. I better wait for the Dukes for MSFS2024 later this year.
You can fly the Dukes right now in MSFS2024. I mean, no problem if you’re gonna wait for the '24 native version but the 20 version works great in MSFS2024 right now, just in case you don’t know that and don’t want to wait.

Well it was designed to be as accurate as possible, which in the early 80’s they didn’t have the GPS we do today or even 15 years ago. So importing a Simbrief which may use GPS waypoints wouldn’t work anyway. Same with the Microsoft flight planner, if we could select an option to not use GPS in flight planning that might work.
Have you watched any of the streams from youtubers who have gotten the plane early? There have been a few with Nick the developer. But the one I watched today from V1 simulation, flying from the Bahamas to Miami shows him entering a flight plan and it wasn’t much work at all.
All that said it does have a Garmin G430 in it if you prefer GPS flying
