Today we're taking a look at the COWS Diamond DA-42 TDS from Orbx, and taking it for a short flight from Gold Coast to Southport in Microsoft Flight Simulator.
Huge thanks to Orbx for reaching out with the opportunity to take a look at the DA-42, and the opportunity to share it with you!

p.s. apologies for calling it the "TDI" here and there - too many aircraft! lol

Been flying this for a few hours and it’s really very good. It’s very rewarding to fly and clearly a lot of work has been put into this especially the trimming which is very good enabling relaxing flight. It’s not hard to fly as you would expect but still requires some care and thought. Great addition to sim for sure, thx for video

@robertpelland5649 4 месяца назад

With the amount of time and effort you have shown in the past, don't be surprised if the trade comes to you with this type of offering. You deserve much more.

@stefanblackadder5236 4 месяца назад

The views from the cockpit are a big improvement for this one. I think this variant has the turbo charged diesel engines which is why they sound like they’re coming apart 😂

This is what happens when professionals take on the job. The 3D model, sounds, systems, textures are all at a high level. And all this for a small price.

Thanks for the video. Definitely gonna get my hands on this airplane. Im a big fan of all Diamond aircraft. Hope the DA50 will also make its way in to the sim :D

@DinoBroers 4 месяца назад

I also hope for a study level DA50! „got friends“ used to work on it but sadly cancelled the project 😢

@matts7653 4 месяца назад

When starting, you have to wait for the “R/L GLOW” caution to disappear. Just FYI, love the videos🤟🏼

@ysteineker7001 4 месяца назад

It is developed by DA42 instructors for personal training. That is why you do not find tablet or fancy stuff. Focus on flight model and system.. Some says it is on par with A2A flight model. On start you should wait until glow warning extinguish. Yes - it diesel, but it runs on standard jetA1 fuel .

@MALCFWATT 4 месяца назад

I think FSLTL may have detected you crossed the stop bar and hence the liner was waiting for you to go. Anyway great video as always Jonathan and fantastic aircraft.

@multiversos1 4 месяца назад

Most of the flight schools in Spain/Europe are using this model. Along with the DA22 single engine. Your review is definitely influencing my buy at the moment. Along with the Fenix looks like it stands out from the crowd. I love the modern avionics too. Cheers!

I enjoyed flying this around Switzerland. Took off and landed at 4 different airports. Great fun but there are some bugs. Would not let me use the Nav button for some reason...

It's hardly early as I just bought said aircraft an hour before this vid aired. Anyway awesome content as usual Jonathan. I watched Twotonemurphy livestream a couple of weeks ago and he cut an engine, put nose down and restarted engine via windmilling it very much is study level as the devs are learning to fly this plane and wanted something to learn in on the ground.

@jonbeckett 4 месяца назад

Yep - it would appear the cogs within Orbx took quite some time to turn :) Still happy they thought of me to help get the word out :)

@volkerjansen3901 4 месяца назад

Great video, as always! Cannot say I like the sound of this airplane, but as it is done by Boris Audioworks and they had access to the real plane, it is probably authentic. The plane looks wonderful, but it seems there is not much to do except pointing it in the right direction. Wonderful when you are a real world pilot, but in the sim I prefer a plane that is maybe a tiny bit more challenging. Probably will get the COWS DA-42 anyway, just to support the devs who really put a lot of passion into the project.

@I_Evo 4 месяца назад

The sounds might well be the authentic ones, seems to me it's the way they've been spliced/looped together that is the problem here. Hopefully an easy and quick fix, as I'm sure it will put off some potential purchasers.

@tclayton2k 4 месяца назад

Stall and pitot heat overheat very easily on the ground unless it's extremely cold. I generally wait until I'm off the ground to flip that switch.

@jonbeckett 4 месяца назад

Good to know. I've been told 2 minutes in the past - but I guess it varies from plane to plane.

@hunterdownunder 4 месяца назад

Southport Airport is a private airport and only for single engine aircraft. The only twin that has been allowed there is the Cessna 337 Skymaster.

Thanks for the video and I found that this "first look" to be very interesting. From what you demonstrated I think that I am going to buy this. One thing though, I wonder if the circuit breakers operative.

@jonbeckett 4 месяца назад

I believe many of them are, yes.

@MrTommymxr 4 месяца назад

The gear can be dropped all the way to VNE. If you are high you can always deploy them and pull the engines to idle

@joshuaspop8865 4 месяца назад

I wish more developers would put more effort into a fantastic flight model instead of gimmicks. I’d put this flight model just a half step below the Comanche.

On the Microsoft forum, some folks have complained about not having the option for a visible copilot. But I see one in yours. What are they missing?

No idea - I've had the opposite in the past :)

Is it better to uninstall the Working Title G1000NXI update in MSFS before installing this?

@elpiloto100 4 месяца назад

How does this compare to the default DA-62 that's available? Just wondering if it's worth spending the $$$

@jonbeckett 4 месяца назад

It's very similar. Visibility is a LOT better.

How can I get views like yours? With the camera moving around the aircraft so smoothly like yours?

It's the drone camera. If you plug an xbox controller in they are pre-configured to control the drone camera.

@laurence1654 4 месяца назад

Looks great but I hate the roof. It seems to be the only area where the curve is noticeably made up of straight lines. Also looks completely untextured?

@hotshot4512 4 месяца назад

Not sure what you mean by straight lines, and also it's a white airplane. It will look like that. There aren't any rivets, it's composite, all you see is reflective material.

@laurence1654 4 месяца назад

@@hotshot4512 From the inside, I mean. The curves are generally well done apart from the roof viewed from inside the cockpit where the curve is clearly made up of straight lines.
