COWS DA40-XLS Incoming

Featured Replies

WOW, what an aircraft!

Feeling of flying, sounds, control response - all top of the range.  Together with the fantastic lighting and terrain of 2024, this is an amazing aircraft.

  • The COWS DA40-XLS is the best general aviation simulation I have ever tested, whether in terms of flight model, ground handling, sounds, or graphics. It's flawless. Kudos to the developers!

  • Did anyone catch the YT channel Fly from Homes's review? In short the reviewer is a CFI who does instructing on type (also airline F/O) and had this to say about the COWS DA40 XLS on his channel.

Sounds good! How about the free castoring nosewheel? Is that properly modelled?

Also, can you install both in MSFS and MSFS 2024?

I only have 2024.  I have switched nosewheel steering on until I get some rudder pedals with brakes.

It is the BEST feeling aircraft I have ever flown in any flightsim, it is superb!

Yes.  It worked fine last night with ver 1.0.0.  Today after installing update for steam gauges, when selecting FP to import spinning circle goes round and round.  After 15-20 seconds if you click FP again, it seems to be loaded, but then reports a timeout importing initial fix and FP is borked. I’ve never seen anything like this before.  Trying to find out if it’s me or the DA40.

It happened to me once in a while with DA42. I don't think it's patch related it just  intermittent issue. It could be due to Asobo

Better than their DA42? (which I have and is really good IMHO)

Wouldn't say better but it definitely feels very different to fly so worth having for sure.

I have the DA42 which is great, but I think they stepped up a notch with the DA40.  Only a couple of circuits in it so far.

Thanks. Did the reinstall, no joy.  Will check again tomorrow to see if it resolves.

So when G1000 simbrief import hangs it still creates flight plan with departure and arrival.  I would try yo regenerate  simbrief flight again see if different import goes ok

I don't think reinstall will help I had the same issue with Asobo aircraft. I believe it's G1000 problem now on Cows tab

I will do just that.  A different FP.  Great idea, I already have regened the original:

KHIO Scapo Krieg Sondr KSEA/34C (ILS) -Original 

I think I will go to KRNO instead!

EDIT:  That did the trick.  New FP to KRNO loads no problem
