The Diamond DA40

Austrian built and coming with four seats, the Diamond DA40 has been commonly used for quite some time now. It’s built entire from composite materials, and uses a single engine. It’s mainly used in both Austria and Canada, and is one of the main product brands that the Diamond Aircraft Industries provides its users with. It’s got skill, charisma and style in abundance and is one of the best FS add-on that you can find.

These cost roughly $340,000 to make each in real life, and stand as stunning light aircraft. The first model was commissioned in 1997, and it’s based on the DA20 aircraft that came before it. Its tricycle landing gear gives it balance and safety when it touches down after taking off, and its main feature is the speed and efficiency of which it can handle the air and the sky.

It’s widely recognized as one of the safest planes in the sky by some margin, with a fatal accident rate of just 0.35/100,000 hours. Considering that some of the most popular rivals like the Cirrus SR20 comes with a rate of 1.6/100,000 hours, you can bank on the Diamond DA40 staying high up on the safety steaks for some time yet.

Features

One of the most striking features that you can find when using simulation software is just how close to the real thing they can get. This virtual representation of the Diamond DA40 covers a huge array of the aspects that make the plane so wonderful in the first place. The models come with Vision Microsystems VM 1000 Engine Instruments. This gives you the real feel of the engine monitoring systems used within the actual plane.

The Diamond DA40 is well recognized for the striking shine that it gives off in the air. The materials used to build and color the plane reflect the light very well, and this recreation captures that absolutely perfectly.  Superb material shines and reflections. The gages have also been fitted in to include the reflections, so that you get the closest experience you can.

The view from inside the 3D cockpit is better than ever, with a realistic panel in front of you. Should you choose to fly with the side-view, or use it regularly, then you will notice the popped view that you receive. This lets you see everything as clearly as you can in the real thing, which is recognized for the clear view from the pilot’s area.

The little details have been included, too. With extras like blade shines and window scratches added to make the plane as close to the real thing as possible, the high-quality textures used on the models stretch the games graphical prowess to the limit. Every spoiler and add-on thought of has been included in the design of this remake of the popular Diamond DA40.

Should you want to create your own design, then you can. You get a free blank model that comes completely bare to allow you to add the colors, style and spoilers that fit your own ambitions and ideas. With the physics of the plane just right, as well as a balance and realism in the behavior of the plane itself, you can get the real experience. It will be just like you owned the real thing!

When you download this package, you get a variety of extra reference material and guides for understanding the real mechanics of the plane. Authenticity is so important when using simulation software, and with this you will get everything including the normal and emergency procedure PDFs that you need to fully understand how to manage the plan to a reference PDF for further reading. Everything you need to learn how to successfully fly one of these planes within both FSX and P3D is included in the package.
