When COWS GO FLYING - Study Level Diamond DA-42 REVIEW | Real Airline Pilot 

"I'm German, I need to complain about something..." Classic Emmanuel.

The touchpoint for testing both ECUs is in the middle of both buttons (to run both tests at the same time)

I love how WT's G1000 is good enough for 3rd parties to make planes like this with it. The attention to detail looks awesome! I like how the screens dim as you engage the starter motor. Also, that taxi speed was FAST. My instructor would have white knuckles if I taxiied that quickly. The speed may also contribute to your loss of steering control. If the DA-42's nosewheel steering is similar to the Warriors I fly, then it would be pretty ineffective at higher speeds. Like, I know if I need to make a quick exit on rollout in a Warrior, I usually need some differential braking to make the turn. I'm happy to see realistic taxi physics in this sim.

I love how you bring as many real life procedures into the sim as possible. That "transponder off" really cracked me up and reminded me of the times I used it 😂

This is so cool. Its such an interesting looking aircraft. I see these a lot flying over my house quite regularly here in Scotland. Looking forward to flying this one actually! A fantastic preview and in depth look as always 😁

Thanks for flying and for your feedback

Maaaan this looks so cool. I got my CMEL and MEI in a twin comanche but instructed in some 42s. I fly big bois now but always have fond memories of this bird.

nice flying ! Thank you!

I’m German I gotta complain about something😂

Ah, this takes me back! I did my ME/IR in a DA42 at EGBE back in 2008. Good and bad memories 😂.

Having done my MEP, CPL and IR in this aircraft, I can tell you it’s incredibly accurate. The taxiing is notoriously difficult and having to fully deflect one rudder pedal to maintain the centre line is not uncommon. 100% getting this!

I love the Diamond aircraft! Been flying them in xplane forever. I am looking forward to this. I hope it is really good.

Great video. Thanx.

Looks great ! 🎉 Maybe you could also test the new Tecnam P-2006T ANALOG....

Having flown a DA-40 I can tell you it's an incredibly stable aircraft. On my checkout flight, I literally struggled to stall it. I absolutely love flying Diamonds.

got my multi in a da42 so ill pick this up on day 1. Haven't flown one in almost 2 years so this'll be fun to fly.

Omg I heard about this story with the gear warning alarm !! I've got my mep test on the 42 next week !!

Too bad that you were recovering so quickly when you did the power off stall test. I was really curious if this has the same stall characteristics as the DA40. The awesome thing about the wing design is, that the nose won't drop and you won't spin when you keep the back pressure on the stick. But did you notice how the rain in the distance is actually bending more because it is windy? When there is less wind it will not be as curved. What an amazing detail to simulate.

Ty very much for that video. I still have the aerobask DA42 in XPlane, but this one here seems to represent another level. The sounds, flight model - real pilots approved. Cool! Only thing, another G1000 aircraft…. The vfr map - navigraph as well? I don‘t have a subscription yet.

Great review as usual. I think I will buy this one.

Glad you enjoy the plane Crosswind behaviour has been improved since the version you got and ill take a look at the dont sink warnings.

I really enjoyed watching this video and looking forward to your future videos on it. You mentioned something about systems. Also, I wonder if you could give us some multi engine training on it like engine out and emergency decent. Another thing that I would like to ask have you checked X-Plane 12 Cessna 172ng digital flight sim? It is supposed to be study level. It's pretty cool.

Really enjoyed this and have been looking forward to adding this to my collection. Wish the interior was all black. Interestingly both engines come from the Mercedes A Class! Visibility is ridiculous! Keep up the great content!

amazing modeling and texture work. They should release it now

Micke Lang has some amazing VLOGs about these Diamonds, awesome ferry flights

thanks I like your videos full of information

Did my CPL IR on this bad boy, such a good trainer aircraft

Great video. A nice VFR flight as well not just an review.

nice, I trained in this machine in my student time

Going to get my MEI in a DA42, this came at a really good time.

I really enjoy the default DA62 despite its obvious limitations so when I saw this was coming out a few months back I got a bit excited, i can't deny. Will be a day 1 purchase for me and I really hope COWS continue and build a DA62 to the same quality and study level.

Could you maybe do a setup tour? Would be very interesting.

I like the “inverted approach” test. If you can make it down to minimums, you know she’s a dandy aircraft. The PMDG 737 can do it, although it isn’t exactly a walk in the park.

Great review. I'm in

Looks good, nice details, I like the scenery too. Is it default or East Frisian Islands by Stairport or something else?

What is your opinion on the sound set?

I just had a thought... If the P 38 lightning had a child this would be the result.. Put a 40 mm gun and and a two sidewinders and you're all set!!

I would love to see wingflex on this DA42.

my dream plane!

What airfield was you using for your flight test I don’t know whether I missed you saying

Seher schön flugzeug mein freund!, und seher gute präsentation! @A330 driver

The plane looks excellent. I hope they'll bring it to the marketplace and Xbox eventually.

Can you do a complete vfr tutorial series which you would fly in vatsim with such aircraft like this

Hmm, no interface for loading, settings, maintenance? Like a tablet or something.

gonna watch it this evening after work but i woud like to know if its at least a high fidelity aircraft ?

Definitely a nice model but I did prefer the PA44 for the MEP. More rewarding to fly imo.

How does this compare with the aerobaak version for xplane?

I know the DA62 is a different aircraft, more power, more pax and so on. My question is, is this DA42 much better compared to the default DA62 regarding flight dynamic?

51:25 You did not just make this joke 😂

8 wish I knew if it would accept a flight plan from msfs ..without paying navigraph😊

Its gonna sell on what platforms? Only marketplace?

Questions: 1 Where and when can we get this? 2 IRL, are the back doors lockable? (child-lock)

Glass cockpit I love for flying IFR IRL since I always want the best awareness and safety for me and my loved ones, but for flight simming its boring me to death.

Do we know what price it'll be when released?

I fly this plane everyday irl. It does look very realistic

When does this release?

Hello, i love it ! thank's for you vidéo. Date for update?

Seems very nice. Would this compare pretty closely to the Piper Seminole IRL? If so then I guess this would be up against the Carenado Seminole. Do you have thoughts on which add-on you'd chose of the two? MSFS already comes with the DA-62 so this feels quite similar, but I guess this is smaller, and has more features modelled, whereas the sim doesn't have any Pipers at all.

as a Hungarian I have to say , I don't like another glass panel but I did like this video and watched the whole thing just the same.

"stall ht fail" is same logic as pitot - the heater, not stall indicator. you can found the stuff that turning that thing on. so that light warning about doesn't heater was turned on for that thing... i remember that from other model, have no idea about real aircraft:)... that's strange, because after got some speed that w-light go out:) one of models modeling that thing wrong lol

Any reason why they didn’t model the 42s engine page ?

I’m buying this when it’s available. From what I’m seeing, the flight model is fantastic and that’s what I like. I can live without gimmicks if the sounds, visuals and flight model are great. For example, the FSR500 has all the gimmicks and visuals, but I think the flight model is just awful. Hits the numbers, but doesn’t fly well at all.

Hi Emanuel! Can you make a "how to fly traffic pattern with an A320 and prepare the MCDU for it" Video? I would be happy :D

I wish I knew if the ap worked.

2 days left.....

You're german?

When will people possible to purchase this aircraft? Who is the developer? Thank you very much

10:45 holy shit fuck glass cockpits

hmmm... developing a plane to support your own skills while learning to fly doesnt help when you finish it after you got your license :)

Diamond took everything about the DA62 and made it better. Wait, they took the DA42 and made everything worse.
