Back to FLIGHT TRAINING - A typical IFR Training Session in the COWS DA42 | Real Airline Pilot

[@coriscotupi]

What a nice FS model, surely the developers got it exactly right on this one. Great job on this video, showing off the model's qualities. And... even after flying the "heavy metal", you've obviously not lost the ability to hand-fly the little airplanes. That was fun to watch. I have great memories of Kiel. In the 90s I had acquaintances living there, so I visited the city and then went from there to a 5 thousand kilometer road trip of a lifetime. Best vacations ever. Cheers from Brasil.

Must say after buying and flying this aircraft this morning that it is immensely fun and rewarding plane to fly. As you said the trimming and its effect on the flight experience is wonderful, i really wish other aircraft (excepting A2A Comm) handled the same way. Being able to make the slightest inputs and trimming properly givers you a relaxing and enjoyable experience which elevates this aircraft even above the excellent standard it already is. I can honestly say that this is an invaluable addition to in the sim GA aircraft fleet. Congratz to the DEVs and thx for creating a wonderful aircraft for ppl such as myself to fly.

[@ianwilliams7740]

I can't believe someone is comparing this plane with the A2A Comanche! Oh my goodness ..... The Comanche has to be the best aircraft to hand fly in the simulator.

[@coriscotupi]

@@ianwilliams7740 *"The Comanche has to be the best aircraft to hand fly in the simulator"* Which doesn't make it beyond comparing with another pretty good FS2020 model. And to be fair, the OP compared the DA42 to *_"other aircraft (excepting A2A Comm)",_* so your point us actually kind of moot.

[@ysteineker7001]

12 hours to go.... Watching tutorial, there is a clickspot for testing both fadec between switches. In real you hold both switches. btw - Braathens pilots was encouraged to hand fly as much as possible during approach in nice weather, even if the fuel consumption increased.

[@peterlazuric5641]

WOW! What a great flight sim. I really enjoyed the right engine out and restart procedure. Also, the demonstration with the circuit breaker reset. The right crosswind landing was a lot of fun to watch. Looking forward to more of your flight sim videos on the DA 42 and thank you for sharing.

[@streettripler4751]

I have great memories of Kiel, I did my non-tidal competent crew sail training there in 1986.

[@larrysouthern5098]

Great airplane..

[@alexc8920]

Absolutely lovely airplane. I really enjoy flying this.

[@seattime4075]

Excellent video, I have been enjoying the Standard A62 with my DIY FFB stick, but this looks like something that I must get.

[@studentpilot284]

Nice throwback thanks Emi! I already miss the MEP flying from flight school especially the sound of the PA44 during takeoff but looking forward to the Boeing :)

[@cowsaero]

Thanks for flying!

[@mahendrasulistyo4044]

It's a beautiful aircraft, just installed it this morning. I have a question, I got an "I Like You" warning message on my PFD. May be I was wrong, but I think I read it correctly... Is that some kind of easther egg?

[@Richard_McDonald_Woods]

Wonderful ❣

[@NanookOblivion]

Hey Emi! This plane looks so good! It really does look like it handles very nicely even through the video! Also, have a safe flight!

[@rondon9897]

Lovely, Emi. i’ll be doing this shortly, once the old ATPL exams are out of the way 🤞

[@mikecoffee100]

lessons from a Real Pilot Thank You for taking the time

[@bagels377]

The sounds in this are incredible

[@gwalker3092]

Looks like a great plane. Will definitely fly this when out it’s clearly a challenge to learn the handling properly. They have produced a very impressive plane so gratz to them and another quality addition to the sim. Like the Reg 😂

[@geltiix2575]

Awesome ! By the way are you using sceneries ? The landscape looks awesome

[@OlivierTrading]

Gorgeous ! Thanks 😎

[@Fly737]

Experience the thrill of expanding your mind and skills! 🤩

[@onecharliemike6022]

It looks very sensative on the controls (or you had to much coffee). Very much like the FSR500.

[@joshuaspop8865]

I hope not. I think the flight model of the FSR500 ruins it, for me.

[@gregrudman8168]

The DA42 is quite sensitive in real life too. You have to be gentle on the controls.

[@onecharliemike6022]

I'm sure it is. However, some of the controls in certain aircraft have the characteristics of flying a paper airplane in MSFS.@@gregrudman8168

[@Geelke0495]

Thank you so much for another amazing video! Just curious if you are planning to come over to FS Weekend in Lelystad this year? Would love to meet you there!

[@gianlucamurella7492]

I had lot of happy hours flying remarkable DA62 x improvement mod by mrtommymxr. Now we have the chance to fly this DA42. Instant buy for me.

[@tra757200]

When I need to "get away from it all", eliminate all distractions and hand fly the pattern for hours, at whatever airport suits me that day, in my 757. Unfortunately, that is XP12, but I will use the 777 when it comes to MSFS. I can see this twin being fun to hand fly in the mountains. Have you done an engine out, stall, into a flat spin? Curious how realistic that is.

[@DownTheRabbit-Hole]

Unfortunately msfs doesn't seem to get ground handling, ground effect, weathervaning. Hope to see improvement in fs 2024. As author said, the trim and air handling is very nice.

[@rohitshastry2007]

Really Cool Video!!

[@Fly737]

Awesome!

[@DownTheRabbit-Hole]

Might as well do IFR training in IFR conditions. After all, it is a sim. No offense. Turbulence, hand flying, in IFR, is definitely a challenge.

[@pdeswardt]

How did you get the camera shake effect on touchdown? Fsrealistic?

[@A330Driver]

FSRealistic indeed!

[@johnbarnes7421]

Struggling with this aircraft because it does not work with my Brunner yoke. Does anyone have a workaround?

[@A330Driver]

I haven't heared of any such problems - but I do recommend to join their discord and ask for help there.

[@DownTheRabbit-Hole]

Hoping that Boeing goes to "active" center sticks like Diamond Aircraft. Yokes always in the way of Glass cockpits, which are here to stay.

[@mannyrivera6990]

The real IFR training sits when those two massive digital screens go dead and the only things you have to rely on are those 4 analog gauges on the top !!! 😒😒

[@philippehendrickx1109]

That’s definitely part of it. I notice that quite a lot of pilots who learned to fly in glass cockpit aircraft lack thorough basic nav skills. ( map reading, VOR, NDB nav,…)!

[@bagels377]

@@philippehendrickx1109that’s why I’m happy my flight school incorporated both g1000 and basic 6pack training during my instrument rating. I enjoy the glass cockpit flying but can still fly holds and ils to mins with basic needles.

[@eaglethedigger]

How do you do a rate one turn in the da 42 with the Garmin 1000? Any turn rate indications there? Can't find them 😅

[@DownTheRabbit-Hole]

For MEL training XP 12 Aerobask DA42 is still better, imo. The failures system, OEI procedures. ILS practice to mins with RVR and accurate ceilings and better rabbit. Etc FAA approved BATD.

[@DownTheRabbit-Hole]

Probably the best ga aircraft for msfs, but that bar is pretty low. A fair comparison between XP Aerobask DA42 and this one would be nice. I fly both. Very competitive. I still give the win to Aerobask due to handling and flight model, particularly ground handling waaay overdone and sensitive. Too much rudder authority.

[@majoraviatior1611]

Nah the A2a Comanche is the best

[@ilarikousa1500]

What sceneries?

[@Dave-nh7lq]

When is this releasing?

[@A330Driver]

Tomorrow

[@CMBelite-FR]

tommorow around 4AM UTC

[@DownTheRabbit-Hole]

Weathervaning on ground is way to much for skinny tail aircraft like this. Probably msfs fault. Constant caution light is beyond annoying. Needs EFB with some settings options, for example real time volume adjustment of tracks. Etc.

[@Kreemerz]

I thought this was gonna be training, given your video title. You started out way too fast.... which tells me you're not interested in actually teaching more than getting this done. Have to give thumbs down.

[@coriscotupi]

I for one thought the video ("Back to FLIGHT TRAINING") was perfect, showing a typical multi-engine training flight. He didn't say it was going to be a tutorial.

[@ysteineker7001]
