Title: So im thinking of getting myself a DA-42 (advice needed)
Post by: Don_prince on July 02, 2016, 12:14:42 AM

What I have found so far:

http://www.eaglesoftdg.com/Layouts/da42.htm

http://www.alabeo.com/index.php?accion=product&correl=112

I am searching for more ones and looking to pick the best one.

Things that are not correct on the alabeo one:

TKS system broken, No weather radar, G1000 is outdated, autopilot not correct, ECU buttons not working correctly (Runup check not working) missing fuel pump unit, and some  other issues I forgot.

A tour, runthrough, and startup procedure of a real DA42:

Found an old vid on the eaglesoft one, seems a bit old but the current version may have been improved:

Got myself DTG Flight school. That will eventualy have the da42 in it, it was dirt cheap and the plane (heavily based on the alabeo one) will be improved. Next to that  it was down in the single digits and has the added bonus of teaching me stuff.
