Flying the DA20 in real life I can state that Asobo simulated the DA20 very well, including very realistic flying characteristics.

@jcorstjens  Hi, since you fly the DA20 in real life.. can you comment on the DA40 in MSFS?  I find that the RPM is always in the yellow and I cannot find any way to adjust it, other than pulling the throttle way back.. 😉

Hi Bert,

First of all you can adjust RPM with the right hand throttle lever independant of manifold setting, On the other hand the maniifold pressure readout allways indicates a too high pressure, so you indeed need to pull the throttle back more than shown in the POH. Otherwise the feel of the the DA20 really comes close to the real plane.

In the DA40, I only see one throttle lever..  Is the DA20 different?

That bit is correct and normal - aileron into the wind to correct the tendency to tip when taxi-ing.

15 knots is a moderate approaching strong wind.in real life.

Is it normal to have full aileron deflection and still tip over?

Never taken a 152 out in a 15 knot crosswind but it does seem unlikely.  Was it gusting ?

Bert, Indeed it is different.

The DA20 has 2 levers, left hand for throttle, right hand for RPM
