how awesome!!!!! Thanks for checking out the video !!!

I fly the 42.

It's not a small cockpit at all. It's very comfortable for a person 6 feet 2 inches tall like myself. It's as comfortable as a " cockpit " of a small SUV and more comfortable than 90 % of general aviation airplanes. And people actually complain about the size of the cockpit when playing a video game ? That's new to me 😁

It's a wonderful plane to fly for sure. A perfect GA flying machine. As for the trim - it does change a little when flaps and gears are dropped - if the autopilot is engaded - the computer will actually adjust the trim for you ( you can see the trim wheel moving forward).

@@MarekMarciniak Ah, for some reason I would have sworn you were already hand-flying before the gear came down.

😁😁

thank you !

it's just the impression. It's actually very good.

DFW, Love, and Alliance (freight) plus all the small fields and executive airports like Addison.

mainly for approach plates and to act as a backup. I also find Foreflight easier to use than Garmin when it comes to finding all sort of information like FBO' s info, fuel prices, airport advisories etc Thanks for watching.

You use them for takeoff and landings. Simply for redundancy incase engine driven pump fails.

I'm in the process of flying my DA62 in MSFS around the coastlines of the world. So far I'm in SW Africa and it's been my favorite airframe to fly in the simulator.

yes it is ! Very busy over there.

DA62 controls the prop pitch automatically. You only have 2 levers that let you set the % of load 0 - 100 %. The prop and mixture controls levers don't exist in a DA62. FADEC system takes care of that for you.

@@MarekMarciniak How nice is that, thought perhaps they had not correctly modeled it in the sim, thanks for replying Marek.

@@MarekMarciniak Hey Marek, I hate to bother you again but is there a cheat sheet for the % power settings on this beast? Not as simple as looking at the rpms like on the cessna. Trying to figure out where I should be sitting in slow flight in the pattern, on a 3 deg descent clean, with 10 deg flaps and in full landing config. Things happen so quickly with this AC hard to understand how to control it especially being a sim with so little feedback other than instruments, engines don't really tell me a lot by sound alone with the % power changing on it's own, cheers.

I would normally go to 40 % of power at FAF, that power setting will give you a nice, stable approach at around 110 kts and flaps in approach position, Then , at around 200 feet I will put flaps landing , decrease the power to slow down to about 90 kts over the numbers.

@@MarekMarciniak Thanks Marek, you must get a lot of messages from us flight sim people as your plane is included in MS FS2020, good of you to reply!

Thank you ! Gopro 6 1080, 60 FPS

@@MarekMarciniak 👍🏼

it's there if you want to use it

@@MarekMarciniak Thanks for the reply, in all the Videos i have seen with Diamond aircraft i never saw anyone pull up the check lists on screen through the Garmin system. It's good to know it is there.

@@randuxy Yes, its just a little awkward to use it, you have to keep scrolling through it which can be a bit annoying. It's much easier to use a traditional paper checklist.

​@@MarekMarciniak Ahh ok, so it not as User friendly as other aircraft's setup, that is probably why i have never seen it. Thanks for all the info.

yes, there is

@@MarekMarciniak OK. What kind of autopilot is it? It just keeps your plane flying or you can also follow a course with the GPS?

@@bernardmillet3903 you can do both, the AP can also fly an approach.

@@MarekMarciniak Great! Thanks for ur answer!

it's the only place for the mount I have and in general for Diamond.
