Yes agree 100%. From my part I always try to stay sharp and hand-fly it whenever workload is low. Yes 73 is the same, but it needs plenty of aileron into the wind, more than other ac I have flow (including 73 classics)
In our company below FL250 we are allowed to hand fly. Anyway back on topic!
All seems absolutely awesome now that I installed everything, however AP didnât seem to work at all 
-
I use a custom livery thatâs compatible and I updated the G1000 mod to its latest version
-
Wanted to input some AP parameters while on the ground but the only one that seemed to work is setting the altitude, nothing else worked
Could be on my part again, but any help would be appreciated
(I should be SERIOUSLY ashamed of myself, I merely forgot about the AV master button, and thatâs why you donât do checklists by heart, everyone)
Hold up. What do you mean âborrowedâ?
Hi! Just wanted to ask two questions.
-
Is it possible to set the default âcold & darkâ state for the fuel selectors to ON? Usually these wouldnât be placed OFF except for an abnormal/emergency procedure.
-
During the ECU test, are you able to add both (L or R) ECU A&B FAIL cautions to illuminate simultaneously as they do IRL when you perform the test? (At least in the DA40 and DA42)
I know this is nitpicking, sorry!
I do absolutely love the mod!
Not to drag this on to infinity ⊠I did not to mean to imply because someone flies a tube liner for a living he canât possibly know how to land a GA aircraft. But it also by no means is a sure thing that someone with a few thousand hours flying a Boeing or Airbus is really good at flying manually.
Much of it depends on the career path, personal exposure and especially with crosswinds practiceâŠpractice and once again practice.
In the sim however there is another component that does is often overlooked. The feel you have in the real airplane from both the movement of the aircraft itself as well as thee feedback from your inputs doesnât exist in the sim in the same way or at all. And especially with this version of the sim the control settings make a big difference how well you get along with a particular aircraft in more challenging weather.
The main point was that for me the DA62 can be landed safely and on centerline with winds even in excess of the POH limit without having to resort to loading the nose wheel or any other moves that one would unlikely do in the real airplane.
And I repeat that at 25 knots crosswind after landing (or takeoff) at around 65 knots IAS the rudder does not have enough authority. After further testing I start to believe itâs not a nosewheel problem but rather the rudder efficiency at low speeds. If you show me in a video where you are able to roll-out with the above mentioned winds, than I will start to think that my sim is broken. Yes, you can use differential braking, but that is not the point.
And it is not my ability or lack of skills, I donât think I need to send my aviation cv.
On a side note, on xplane I worked on several airplanes and they now fly just like the POH numbers. That included Vmca, eng out performances, real Cl and Cd values. Unfortunately I have no experience on FS2020 so I can give only my input and feedback to improve it, considering it is already a magnificent mod. But to doubt my flying skills on a simulator with my real flying experience I think its not polite.
@MrTommymxr
Do you know if there is an issue with the âKinetic Assistâ utility permanently breaking MSFS mods that use FADEC? I saw a warning on the WT CJ4 page and that might explain why I still canât use the throttle in DA40, DA62 or CJ4 mods.
If there is an issue, can the damage caused by it be reversed in anyway?
âBorrowedâ - That was a very friendly shout out to those you learned some of your tweaks from or helped you debug it.
(In your OP, you mentioned: Thanks for the help: Nishmaster, Tim, Birdy,Uwajimaya, Jonasbeaver, FettFS, BilingualHarp7 and others)
So I am thanking them too. Iâve done a bunch of plane mods and scenery gateway airports in the x-plane world, so I know itâs a community we all learn from and add value to each othersâ work often for just a thank you.

No. Whatâs that?
Their comments are about 1 page down here:
These forums are full of folks who claim to have stacks full of logbooks. I donât know you from Adam, so if I was impolite I apologize. That was not my intention.
In most cases when an aircraft that works for most folks just fine suddenly is ânot measuring upâ for one or two individuals the problem is not with the aircraft but often something as simple as control settings (wich is not so simple in MSFS)

Two questions about this aircraft/mod:
Noticed how the acceleration is very slow. The aircraft barely moves the first couple of seconds even with full power. Maybe this is realistic for this aircraft?
Also noticed how the initial seating position is a bit off compared to when not using the mod. With the mod, I always have to adjust the position left and forward. Someone suggested in another thread I can adjust this in cameras.cfg. Havenât tried that yet. Maybe someone in here already came up with the correct values?

Yes, itâs caused by a bug that affects all prop/turbo prop planes with 2 (or more) engines. âCoincidenceâ is that @MrTommymxr was who worked out the issue and found the root cause - and as Iâve understood it may be corrected soon. Check âStatic thrust bug âŠâ topic

Camera was intentionally moved by the author. You donât need to adjust config files manually, youâve the option in game to set and save camera positions for each aircraft for all the cockpit camera modes. Bind some buttons and you can set it whereever you want.

Many thanks for that info!
I know I can define my own camera views. However, since I do all my flying in VR, I donât really need different camera views since I simply move my head as I would have IRL.
Thatâs why I would like to change the default position so I donât have to readjust my position every time I start a new flight.
Would you happen to know for what reason the author of the mod changed the default position to be off in the way it is currently?
I mean you can SAVE any camera position to be your default using binded keys in game. You can save new positions for each camera (like VFR view, Landing view, IFR view, etc.)
This function is not bound to any keys by default so check keyboard configuration in game and choose âallâ to see every key binding and look into Camera settings.
You will find something like âReset VFR viewâ and âSave VFR viewâ or similar. Bind a key or key combination for these functions and choose whatever position youâd like for default and save it with your binding.
Next time your saved positions will be your default camera positions. You donât need to change them for every flight.
As @Szepy2235 said, the poor acceleration is due to a bug that @MrTommymxr found.
You could help out by voting on this:
Ah, so much to learn with this new simulator!
Will try what you suggest and see if I can figure out how to get it working.
Thanks again!

Iâm not so polite.
@Blusopra, I think it is quite acceptable to ask about someoneâs credentials in a forum. We know that there are people who pose as pilots, and we know there are real pilots. When someone expresses a âknowledgeabeâ opinion based on being a real pilot, then if a good amount of real pilots disagree with that opinion, itâs either a simple difference of opinion or maybe that person does not have the knowledge and experience they claim.
Whatâs wrong with asking for more information about background qualifications? Most pilots I know â and those on this forum â are hardly shy or secretive about their experience. Most donât brag about it or go, âYouâre wrong and Iâm right because Iâm a pilot.â But if asked why they have a certain opinion, if itâs from real life knowledge and experience, they will wear you out with details and other real pilots will jump in and confirm or debate.
I think that if you are a real pilot and take a strong, minority opinion, you should go right ahead but be prepared for animated debate and questions about your credentials and why you have such an opinion. If you are offended by pilots who donât agree with your position and go so far as to wonder about your background and experience â why does this offend you?
Real pilots have to learn very technical stuff to get their license, and they are questioned and challenged constantly. They have had to constantly prove themselves with check rides and simulator sessions their entire career. Why the sudden sensitivity?
