TurboNormalized G58 Baron could be a natural evolution of the Turbo Bonanza. 😜

Except there is a huge bug on the Asobo G58 : the mixture lever has zero effect on EGT, and so it's impossible to fly Lean of Peak. Not a good candidate for an improvement mod when the basics of it are just not there.

We all do ! 🙂

That is great news Rob, I still think the flight model needs a lot of work on twin, single engine characteristics are way off IMO (I dont have any time in the DA62 and I haven't flown a light twin in over 20 years, but I still remember my first flight on the twin where the instructor demonstrated losing an engine on climb out, holly smokes haha. Failing one engine on the FS2020 model is very mild, not much yaw effect, cant remember being able to feather the prop, etc. etc.)

Hi John,

Actually the DA62 engines are not far apart and single engined performance doesn't require that much yaw correction. I think the high aspect ratio wings also help. The biggest challenge is the autopilot and the very poor/sluggish take off roll which is way below what it should be. The task is to raise the initial acceleration without also making climb and cruise too high.

I'm very much looking forward to this! The current community mod for the DA62 on the flightsimulator forum is a work in progress, and the FADEC implementation requires using F2 and F3 to control the engine power. I will gladly donate for a more polished implementation. 

After a lot of experimentation, I have concluded that the FADEC on this aircraft is not possible to get working with the current core tools, at least not in a way that uses conventional controls and levers. I am aware of the MOD that uses F2 and F3 keys and that's a very innovative step, but I don't think I want to do that. There are many important issues to fix in the DA62, like a/p, sluggish take off, general handling, ground handling, matching cruise and climb speeds to precise POH values and all sorts of other things.

I can look at Fadec later if and when Asobo address the core coding, but for now it is not working in the way that seems natural.

Thank you!   The 1st few times I flew this nice machine I kept going to external view to see if there was an anchor dragging behind me on takeoff!

Once she airborne she's nice, but could surely use some of your magic!

Took her a very nice flight to see default scenery that is as good (if not better) than what I paid for in previous sims. 🙂

Indeed Steve. I kept checking to see if my parking brakes were still on!

Hooray !

Can't you get Sean on board for this? Seems hes got experience on the Da62 🙂 (i havent been folowing if you guys are on good terms or not so sorry if thats a delicate subject :)) 

Id even pay for whatever you guys are able to give us 🙂

Tweaking an aircraft for P3d is entirely different. The Vertx DA62 was brilliant. There is zero possibility of working with Sean.

I agree! I have something to ask, but I won't because I know is probably too personal.

My apologies, It's hard for me to mentally separate you and Sean.

That's one heck of a nice livery on that DA62.  Where can I find it???  Thanks.  Dennis

You think? Do you have an extra one? 😬😳

Sorry, I don't have whatever it is you've got. 😏

Every one please, please donate to Rob for his efforts.

Ron, if you get the performance specs right on the mark, a faster cruise speed is fine with me. 😜😲😉

Ray

After looking at endless spec sheets, POHs, videos, reviews, articles,  it's clear there are differing figures and that's probably because some quote speeds and climb assuming 100% power, but Diamond says 5 minutes maximum, and their figures are conservative based on either 90% or at the most 95% power. That five or ten percent makes a big difference to both climb and top cruise speed, hence the 'net is full of clashing specs.

Forgive him Robert, he's got an ailment. 😄
