I did a few minutes ago. Much improved! Wouldn’t say it’s perfect, compared to other similar aircraft, but it’s stoppable, now.

Been flying for a longtime and can fly and land most of the planes. Just wanted to try the Diamond DA-40NG. One of the best planes to fly but such a shame you can’t land it with flaps set. Brakes don’t work. I guess it has something to do with higher RPM’s . Just tried landing but this time I used n…

So it might be finally fixed…anyone tried already? [image]

I wouldn’t say the brakes are really “fixed”. I mentioned this is another post, but DA40NG braking performance is severely affected by whether the flaps are still deployed at touchdown. This was the case before SU6, and still is the case after SU6. In my post-SU6 testing, with flaps retracted and to…

[image] ashlynmae5404: DA40NG braking performance is severely affected by whether the flaps are still deployed at touchdown. Interesting. I guess I haven’t been paying much attention, but I’ve never really tried this. I’ve kind of avoided the default DA40 and have been flying my COWS version…

Same here – I bought the COWS variant too, but obviously you can’t fly that in Career mode, which is 75% of my flying in MSFS2024. Here are the results of some landings I did a few hours ago. There are a couple outliers, but having flaps down definitely resulted in longer time to come to a complete…

Have you tried the TDI variant? I tested the brakes this morning and it seemed to work better. I didn’t time it just a rough feel. I noticed at altitude before landing the da40 will just float and not lose airspeed. But the TDI this morning seemed much improved with flaps down it bled off airspeed a…

I did try the TDI variant yesterday, just to compare, and it stopped as I expected. But, it was my first time flying the TDI, so I have no point of reference pre-SU6 to compare it to, nor do I even know if the same braking problem existed for the TDI pre-SU6. (With that said, the more modern NG is m…

The difference between the TDI and NG is the engine and avionics they share the same frame and general flight dynamics so they should be similarly weighted and have similar V speeds. The best view I have found for flight seeing is the JMB Aviation VL-3 it’s a bubble top two seater the diamond 20 is …

Well, after a few short approaches with/without flaps extended there is a definite correlation with stopping distances which is the reverse of what one would expect. Flaps extended, longer stopping distance. Flaps retracted, shorter stopping distance. I don’t own the DA-40TDI. But, something is …

The Simulator Bug: Why the Sim DA40 Floats Forever In default Asobo flight models, the DA40 behaves like a frictionless sailplane on approach due to two simulation flaws: A. Under-Modeled Negative Thrust / Windmilling Drag The Root Bug: The stock MSFS flight model engine under-calculates the dr…

DA40NG Brakes are almost non-existent in MSFS 2024
