Eaglesoft da42 update

This is such an easy aircraft to start that I was able to memorize the engine start procedures after the first startup. The Preflight Configuration Window allows you to remove all of the parked aircraft static items as part of the preflight procedure which adds to the realism. The first issue that I encountered was that my CH Throttle Quadrant controls were very sticky with this aircraft. I like smooth movement but this does not happen with this aircraft.

I did not have any issues with the rest of the preflight checklist and I like that even though the icing controls are not simulated, these along with gear warning test can be tested as part of the preflight. As mentioned earlier the engine start checklist is very easy to memorize. Throttle at idle, left engine switch on, left mouse click on the key to start the left engine and repeat this procedure for the right engine with a right mouse click to start this engine.

I do not know if this is how the real aircraft operates but when you start each engine the fuel control automatically moves to the full forward position, then during warm up adjust the fuel controls to the cross feed setting. Another issue that I have is that if I have the throttles at idle or less than RPM, the engines would stop. At least it is very easy to restart the engines. I did not have any issues with the rest of the startup procedures.

To taxi the Twin Star is also very easy, much easier than then most of my other twin engine aircraft, just steer with your nose wheel in the direction that you would like to go. The Diamond DA Twin Star does not have magnetos so there really is not a run-up procedure but I would increase the throttle as part of the before take-off checklist to see if there was any engine roughness even though this is not simulated.

This is a very nice aircraft to hand fly. Move the throttles to full for about 10 seconds and rotate at Vr, but I had to let the speed increase past the rotation speed because on my system rotating at this speed would cause the stall horn to sound. By letting the airspeed increase before rotating helped with this issue. I like to hand fly to the cruising altitude and I needed to trim continuously in order to maintain climb but I was able to trim for cruise without issue, just used small control movements.

The controls are very responsive when hand flying. The aircraft will now fly to your selected altitude and I love that the autopilot will level off smoothly at the proper altitude. The Twin Star cruises at a nice knots indicated; so this is a wonderful short to medium cross country flights. For descent I wanted to use the same autopilot procedure to descend to my desired altitude, but I could not get this to work. I had to disable the autopilot, enter the new altitude then power on the autopilot for descent.

The Twin Star slows down very nicely but I had to remember to start my approach well ahead of time so that I was at my final approach speed on time. One final note, the large MFD moving map allows me to easily see terrain features when VFR flying without a loaded flight plan and for recognizing these features on final approach into smaller airstrips.

The traffic warning sound message on the multi-function display is also very nice. I like that when you load the baggage during preflight, you can hear this door closing and the main canopy operational sound is also excellent.

All of the operable switches and dials are animated with appropriate sound effects. I do not know how the real Diamond Twin Star engines sound like but the simulated ones sound impressive.

It is nice that the tone changes when the main canopy or the baggage door is opened and closed. The engine vibration effects during startup are excellent and the stall horn is also very impressive sounding. I really like that the Mindstar G is easily installed into the virtual panel for a more realistic G simulation and flight planning. The Mindstar product also allows you to subscribe to a current navigation database service for the most realistic flight planning possible.

The only real complaint that I have with this aircraft is that the radio frequency fields are blank on the primary flight display when it is first powered on; you need to manually enter these frequencies for them to be displayed. This should not happen with a premium aircraft.

Luckily I will be using my Mindstar G equipped aircraft which display the navigation and communication frequencies correctly. The only other real issue that I had was that my throttle controls did not operate smoothly and if the RPM went to an idle setting, the engines would stop running. Lastly, the Eaglesoft G is a modified version of the default flight simulator G system without the manual flight planning capability and other realistic features.

The- re was an issue for a throttle also as it was configured improperly on my side. I previously used one axe on my controller for all engines.

It should be configured separately for each engine. This product is fantastic. It embellishes the treated area with castles, lighthouses, pylons, wind turbines. Ce produit est fantastique. C'est un autre monde! I can't say enough as to how great the sounds are with this add-on.
