I'm struggling with one thing I think and maybe it's my misunderstanding of the DA-50. The reverse thrust I've noticed on flare initiates when I flare and go to flight idle. I'm aware the ground idle function is simulated with reverse thrust, but I keep finding myself accidentally engaging the reverse thrust in the flare since I can't gauge where that detent is other than the sounds. Anyone else have thoughts on that?

Errrr does the DA50 have Reverse or Beta????  I didn't think so......I might be wrong.

Suppose to be turbocharged continental CD-300 equipped with FADEC where power lever has  flight idle and ground idle detents.

It doesn’t that I know of but I think they’re using it to simulate ground idle conditions. It’s weird

From what I gather you when you touch down power lever should be at flight idle. Ground idle only for taxi.

Yeah, for some reason mine goes all the way back to ground idle even when in flight. It should stop… not sure how to adjust this.

From the outside maybe. The view from the inside is severely hampered by the pillar. A very odd design choice.  

Yea its awful, I guess its a great IFR training platform but that view!

Imagine looking for traffic in the circuit

The Skyward DA50 really is an excellent addon! Especially at this incredibly low price. I have also uploaded a first repaint for it

I ended picking this up (once I saw Tim was making a paint haha).  It's got Boris sounds and it's just a nice little plane.  It's not the finest quality ever but looking at the price it's cheaper than a Carenado and just as good 

Version for MSFS2024 realesed. Everything working like a breeze. Nice aircraft.

Slight issue, I can't see any pilots from the outside view. A shame cause it looks beautiful in the air.

I bought the Skyward Simulations DA-50 RG and on my 49" monitor it is all A pillars with a tiny little round hole to see out the front! It is IMPOSSIBLE to return anything you buy in MSFS. I wish I could return this DA-50RG. I LOVE Diamond aircraft but on MSFS you cannot see out the front of them. They are only good for IFR. Sucks... I emailed the skyward support contact in the MSFS details for the DA-50RG and the email came back undeliverable.
