COWS DA42 Released!

Glad you like it. Alot of effort was put into polishing the plane.
Engine damage, and statesaving have been available since release and failures for a few months now.

For me it’s up there with the Fenix as far as can’t stay away from. But you know my love for your products already!

Oh! I must be a better pilot than I thought then! (EDIT: Maybe not, they are OFF as default. Switched it all on now so we will see!).

How can we check the current status of the health? All on the EIS page?

BTW, your website still says:

which I maybe incorrectly understood as ALL those things to come, not just the “random failures” part?

Also, this shortcut for the Airplane Flight Manual:

Which is DOA:

BUT is this the correct one?

If there is anything else, our discord is the best way to get in touch.

Ooh cool you’re making an update for the DA40? That’s great, I love your mod. Looking forward to the update. Are you considering using the new ground physics features?

We’re making a whole new da40 to the sim.
The DA40-XLS with the 180hp Lycoming IO360.

Can’t wait to start showing it off.

What about updates to the DA42 to give it all the features of native MSFS 2024 aircraft, like walkaround interaction, Asobo EFB, new LOD, wipers texture, etc. Will current owners of the 2020 version get that with an update (and when), or will it be a new plane later on?

To be determined.

Looking forward to DA40 - is that going to be on both sims 2020 & 2024?

Yes. The DA40 will be built on FS20 tech and work for both.
Evey future plane will be fs24 only.

Okay thanks - That’s fine, I’ll be moving to 2024 version but not on release, after some time once all of the addons are over to 2024 version


Define “all”? :slight_smile:
Might never happen!! “Most” on week 1 would be enough to jump?

Nope - I don’t think I’ll be moving this year any time soon either. For 2024 version I’ll first need a new PC - which I won’t be able to get until some time early next year. Perhaps then.

DA40 wen?!?!? :cat2:

I agree in absolutelly everything.

Just wanted to say that this plane is, by far, the best GA plane for MSFS to date!!!

The level of detail, the graphics, the FM, the systems, even the wings flex and shake like in no other GA plane
everything is TOP NOTCH!!

Awesome work!!, thanks!

Don’t get me wrong I really enjoy this aircraft also but I feel that “by far” is a stretch. Do you not have the A2A Comanche and / or Black Square aircraft? Of course you’re entitled to your own opinion and if that’s it then so be it.

It is by far, one of the best :wink:

This is one of the top threads on this forum, by far.

And the DA42 is probably the best Diamond aircraft for MSFS. But unfortunately it doesn’t hover like a MV-22, or go Mach 2 like an F-22, so need to knock half a star for those issues.
