MSFS - Choosing a trainer: Diamond DA40

In this video we go over the DA40 and some of its quirks as a primary trainer.

Love the DA40NG in MSFS. Currently doing an around the world flight (real weather and time). Flying it along with the DA62 for over water and cold climate flights. Thanks for the review.

How's the world trip going? I'm doing it in the DA62 and just passed 100 hours flight time so far and loving it. Great planes and a pleasure to fly the diamond family.

I am just new to the world, can you advise, whay aircraft to choose, cessna 172 g1000 or to go with da40 ? So confused

[@Blxz]

@@othmanal-ghamdi9340 choose whichever one you like. Try them all out until you find one that you like. I prefer general aviation but some people prefer big airliners. Whatever works for you.

Nice vid..I'm going for my PPL and the two schools I've narrowed it down to basically one uses DA40NG's and the other the classic C172. Can't decide which way I want to go so this helps

[@LiveLNXgaming]

just a note, this is a great aircraft but it is worth just putting the breaking to a keyboard key or something. If you have pedals with toe breaks thats the best solution, but if not just map it to 2 keys and be done with it.

I don't think the FADEC is actually properly modelled in the default version of this. There's an improvement mod that models it as well as improving other aspects of this though over on the old dot to website along with another mod for the DA62 that does the same. Very much recommended if you fly this or the 62

[@volkerjansen3901]

Thank you, I really appreciate these videos! The one thing that really gets on my nerves in this plane is the prop RPM going into the red with higher power settings. Shouldn't the FADEC handle this? We are now at SU8 with MSFS, and I assume this problem still persists ...

It seems like a lot of the planes in this video series aren't behaving as you would expect. From doing a bit of research, it seems like the recommendation is to install community made add-ons to make each of the planes more realistic. It would be interesting to see how this affects your evaluation of each of the planes.

Good video! I fly the diamond 40 XLS and I wish someone would make an XLS for Microsoft flight simulator. The NG is very good especially with the realism mod but it would be great to be able to practice mixture management and leaning in the simulator. The NG has just a simple power lever and no controls for the propeller or mixture. Has anyone heard of an XLS in the works? I know there are several 4P3D and explain

You damaged your right wing because your wingtip bumped ground with that range🙂 Please call FAA to report this ground incident

I have a question for you All of us that support your channel and comment and you never comment back or like anybody's comments I don't understand you! And if you think you're doing us a favor by making tutorial videos remember there are thousands of tutorial videos on KZbin I do like your content but I don't like how you don't interact with your subscribers

[@mikedelta1441]

I found the video very informative. Maybe you should appreciate that.

[@rackum44]

@@mikedelta1441 yeah I do and been supporting his channel for many years,and have asked many questions but he never once replied. That's the least he can do for the support and likes I give him every video to help him. So maybe you should consider that!

[@poguri27]

KZbin comments sections can really wear on someone's well-being and he's doing his health a great service by acting as if they don't exist.

[@rackum44]

@@poguri27 well then you shouldn't have a channel and get money for it. Part of having a channel is to interact and answering your supporters questions. All the bad comments you just overlook and appreciate your fans that are supporting you
