Today we're taking a first (pre-release) look at the Diamond DA-50 developed by Skyward Simulations, and being released soon by Orbx. I take it for a flight from Kern Valley in eastern California, and put it through it's paces. Lovely aircraft with a few rough edges, but already very good.
The DA-50 is available from Orbx here:

I like Diamond as an enthusiast, but that pillar in one's field of view has got to be one of the most baffling decisions Diamond has ever made.

@magneticmonopole Месяц назад

Totally agree. Idk if its ok in real life, but it blocks the field of view too much in the sim.

@zombieapocalipse2020 Месяц назад

Yeah thats why i dont fly it

@major3336 Месяц назад

The instructions are correct regarding the strobes lol. Since the aircraft doesn’t have a “rotating beacon,” the strobes are used for letting people know you are about to start the engine. I even see Cirrus SRs do it. Other than that, you are correct. If you have a rotating beacon, you’d turn that on, then turn strobes, and landing lights, on once you are getting on the run way.

@NoticalMyles Месяц назад

It's cool to see the Diamond DA-50 come to MSFS - thanks for the review! Will definitely keep an eye on this addon.

@donaldholman9070 Месяц назад

In real life the D50 is one of the best modern, single engine ga air craft to day! I would. Love to have one in msfs. The one i have in xplane 12 is fantastic.

@AV8R_1 Месяц назад

Man! I've been hoping the DA50 would eventually make it to the sim since FSX!

@rogerrees9845 Месяц назад

Another great presentation...From the front it looks surprisingly like a BFF.108 ! Thank you for all your hard work...Roger...Pembrokeshire..

@lazo5784 Месяц назад

Boris Audio Sounds did the soundstage for this.

@845SiM Месяц назад

Have a guy on my friend list who has been flying this about for a few weeks. Could never find what plane it was until i saw this.

@GumperVanLier Месяц назад

What a surprise. Didn't know anyone was developing this model for MSFS. My favorite plane at the moment is COWS DA-42 so you are right, lots of competition with similar planes and models. The DA-42 is so good that I no longer fly the 40 or 62. The visibility hurts this plane although it looks great. I fly outside the plane a lot so I guess it doesn't matter to me. Love how you stall planes. Thanks for first take of this plane.

@donnieweston3249 Месяц назад

300 hp turbo jet a fuel Continental CD-300 engine, very nice

@pythosdegothos6181 Месяц назад

Appears to be a single engine DA-62. Nice looking machine.

@ImpendingJoker Месяц назад

Strobes/Anti-Collision lights are turned on before engine start to warn people in the area that you are about to put power to the aircraft. The position lights don't flash so they don't draw the same attention to the danger.

@Xdonald331 Месяц назад

I’ve been waiting for this! Definitely the ultimate single GA airplane!

@AlienTermite Месяц назад

Not a huge fan of the cockpit visibility in the DA50. Same with the DA62…

@sivoltage Месяц назад

yep thats a big put off.

@HaraldLabout Месяц назад

Indeed, terrible cockpit view

@AlienTermite Месяц назад

Otherwise they are both great aircraft!

@jazzyjeff001 Месяц назад

Great Video.

@Gemthermakleingk Месяц назад

i think the shades flickering was beacuse of the propeller in front… or maybe i missed what you saw. I love your airplane reviews, saw the bronco and now this one and you do it amazing!

@MyFabian94 27 дней назад

1. The FADEC revs up for Engine Braking, and allows for a steeper descent. 2. Nobody ever had a soft first Landing in any Diamond type. These Airframes are built primarily for efficiency at the cost of low speed control authority with Flaps and Gear down. It catches everybody out, especially with a forward CoG with only two occupants. 3. It competes with the Bonanza and is better in every single way. The Market for Single Engine 4+2 Seaters is very underserved.

@diacidos Месяц назад

06:50 you can use strobes to indicate you have a engine running, when you don´t have beacon lights!

@kylemccartney1831 Месяц назад

If I remember correctly, someone told me the strobe lights also count as the anti-collision lights. They said it just needs to be a flashing light.

@einherz Месяц назад

one more cool toy, but i more need lancair:)

@naijapilotxmax6006 Месяц назад

a beast in real life

@graeabarth2227 Месяц назад

Enjoyed the review as usual but this isn’t an aircraft I’d go for. I like GA aircraft with good visibility and a more ‘retro’ feel. I’m one of your fans that likes the stall tests btw 😁

@elpiloto100 Месяц назад

Interesting that the inboard flaps are split flaps, where the upper surface does not deflect with the flap. Looks a little odd that it's only the inboard portion.

@xINTENSORx Месяц назад

I've been waiting for this aircraft, The stall characteristics are nothing like the real thing ,this need work. but over all very happy to finley see this coming This will be $16.42 USD

@tropichydra7190 Месяц назад

Holy I need this!!!

@DEFkon001 Месяц назад

does it have the flip out FMS keypad in the center console arm rest? It's pretty easy to overlook if you don't know it's there since it flips away.

@BPond7 Месяц назад

As others have mentioned, the poor forward visibility kills it for me. It would otherwise be a plane I’d be interested in purchasing.

@s0cks1985 Месяц назад

It's a shame it has a similar A-pillar to the DA-62. It's obstructive to your view in the sim. Looks and sounds really good tho.

@ImpendingJoker Месяц назад

This plane kinda reminds me of the YO-3 Quiet Star.

@antonioiozzi291 Месяц назад

The DA50 is a very interesting aircrsft. Never heard that someone was developing it. Top!

@saminaneen Месяц назад

@antonioiozzi291, THERE is already a DA50, for MSFS 2020, for FREE, don't waste YOUR money.

@magneticmonopole Месяц назад

@@saminaneen I don't think there's ever a freeware version of DA50 in MSFS. Can you share the link, please?

@marekpaul6110 Месяц назад

Does the ECS test work ? On the DA-42 it's a mandatory test. Pitot heat and stall warn heat should also be turned on.

@FUNSTICK1 Месяц назад

Yes ,,,,,,Thank you Orbx I have been waiting for this plane Diamond are market leaders. And thank you skyward simulations for your hard work.

@sergivan08 Месяц назад

Cockpit visibility is so bad on upper tier Diamond planes. I don't get it

@DEFkon001 Месяц назад

I think it's a byproduct of the gullwing doors and their faraday caged cockpits or whatever they call it. Basically they build the cabin to be sealed off, fire proofed and reinforced so that in the event of a crash the airframe crumples around or sheers off to give the people a higher chance of survival. I think some of their unused concepts had the cabins being able to eject from the airframe with chutes and flotation ability so that it acted as a lifeboat if it bailed over water. :P

@340ACP Месяц назад

Horrible visibility makes it very unpleasant to fly. But some will still enjoy it, it does look good

@archiemiddlefell4356 Месяц назад

Looks alright, but doesn't look as good as the aerobask DA50 in x-plane

@joshuaspop8865 20 дней назад

I’m struggling with the climb rate. I have to climb at around 90 kts to get 1000 VS. That’s at 92% power. That’s awful slow. That’s at around 75% MTOW.

@kermitreturnz Месяц назад

How do you get the drone cam to not jump about and go slow?

@jonbeckett Месяц назад

Turn it's speed down :)

@petrolekh Месяц назад

So the G1000 is the stock version developed by Working Title?

@laurence1654 Месяц назад

Until you closed the door I was quite interested but with the door closed, what an awful view!

@anjinsanx44 Месяц назад

Make for xplane!!!!!

@saminaneen Месяц назад

Did THEY, pay for that PAYWARE scenery too?

@jonbeckett Месяц назад

It's freeware scenery. Kern Valley is available from flightsim.to.

@saminaneen Месяц назад

YOU hit, the trees, at time frame 26:01, YOU should have flown, in from the opposite runway, redo again, and do better.

@saminaneen Месяц назад

I notice YOU deleted my REAL comment, when I told the TRUTH, about YOU, but left, my other comments. I as well as millions, of other people, are used to YOUR censorship, and non-transparency.
