Very nice!

Absolutely.  Instant buy for me too. 

It looked really good on A330 Driver's video - even though he failed to understand the castoring nosewheel / no nosewheel steering and was adamant that all Diamond aircraft have a digital trim display on the panel, when in fact it's the total opposite;  all Diamond aircraft use a large, old style trim wheel (and indicator) in the centre, behind the throttle! 

Looks a very high quality aircraft 😎

- It's now shown on the Orbx store, with the price and "buy now" but when you click it, it says "product not found" !

Not on my ORBX Central it's not. If you go to Add to Cart you get 'Product not found'

It will release at 0400 UTC according to COWS.

Is this going to be available somewhere besides ORBX?

COWS, the new studio behind a new Diamond DA42 add-on for MSFS, has announced their virtual rendition of the popular twin GA trainer will be available from February 10.

The plane, which is being developed by a team of flight school students who fly the plane in the real world, will release for Microsoft Flight Simulator in just under 2 weeks with Orbx as the studio’s distributor.

Additionally, the team confirmed that not only will customers be getting the -VI variant, but also the more popular -TDI variant, which is used widely around the world by flight schools preparing students for their MPL rating. The team has also confirmed to FSElite that the plane will be coming to Xbox users through the MSFS Marketplace, although a release date for console has not yet been confirmed.

 

Sounds like it will make it to the Marketplace eventually.

Yep, I drew from the holster a little too quickly.   I saw "add to cart" and the price had been added to the sales page and thought it was out.  Until I hit buy now and also got the product not found message.

Not long to wait though if it's out at 0600 UTC.

Apparently it was moved to 0400 UTC or 11 PM EST, 8 PM PST today.

Where in the video is that?

In my eyes it's an incredible machine that I've been waiting for for a very long time.I've watched few years ago all of YouTuber "jaunty17"'s videos dozens of times... You can imagine my enthusiasm to make the same trips.
