A good buy

Today I bought Carenados DA-62 and I wanted to share my impressions with this plane

Departing Montserrat

Approaching Guadeloupe, Le Raizet Airport by Taxi2Gate. I made a mop for this airport, available on my flightsim page.

This is plane is just state of the art. Could fly it out of the box without reading a manual. Ok, I fly flightsims for some years but it really works well. And its a beauty.

A couple of years ago I wanted this aircraft and was advised that the Vertx DA-62 was the one to go for. So I did and haven’t been disappointed. It has VNAV capability which I’m not sure the Carenado has.

That allows you to enter altitude restrictions in your plan an the a/p will start the descent at the relevant time. You can even adjust the descent profile which defaults at 1.7° but I change it to 3°.

It needs some Registry entries to install it in v5 but otherwise works fine. The author sadly lost his wife which knocked the stuffing out of him. No support but it’s very stable so support here should be fine.

Good reviews here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7HBOA9OYEc

Maybe not for the OP but for anyone else considering the DA62.

My intention for the thread was not a comparison between the two models, but to show how great the sim and the planes for it are. Just something positive to share, not to compare different products.

I was well aware of the Vertx product, but after reading the threads here about the problems to install it in v5 and some problems in operation, I decided against it, on impulse and I'm not dissappointed.

That’s fair enough. I only mentioned it in case you were unaware of it.
