[Light bugs]

I have got an issue with some cockpit lights and dome lights:

- Turning on dome lights when elec master is off loads the lit texture but there is no spill light

- When elec master is off instrument and flood lights are off, but when elec master is on, then the instrument and flood lights are on(without touching the knobs)

- Flap indicator lights(T/O and LDG) are lit when flaps are down and elec master is off(might be expected behaviour idk)

- Seems like all G1000 buttons that have lights illuminate when elec master is off

 

I'll also add that oil temp etc does not seem to be fully implemented but I would be surprised if that was not known already, but I also don't know the expected behaviour for this.

Hey there Martini!

Thank you for the feedback. We have plans for significant updates in the very near future. As you said "it can only get better after release!" Flaring on landing in the DA40 is a little tricky, make sure your trim is set more upward than you would usually think, as the ground effect will want to drag you downward. Rudder control is something I am looking to fix in the next update as I have heard other comments regarding it. 

-As far as the engine master guard, I know that some come with it and some don't.

-Rudder clipping into fuselage is an easy fix (should be)

-Key in the hole is one I want to add

-The missing label on the joystick was an oopsie

-Nose wheel does have a strut and connections

-Circuit breakers are planned to actually function and overall, the textures will be improved

-ECU is somewhat functional now, but will get done in near future updates

-All sounds are recorded directly from the real plane

 

We hope to better your experience soon 🙂

Hi, yeah flaring is tricky but I think I got the technique in, very excited to see what the new version's are gonna bring to this aircraft and hoping the rudder issue will be fixed soon🙂

Do you know if a paint kit will be released at some point?

[Issue with rudder and flaring etc]

I am having some issues with flaring and rudder controll on the ground, I have also added some stuff I don't like about the aircraft and would like to see changed,
keep in mind this is me going crazy, and some stuff on this list might be aircraft/operator specific, I am sure future versions are gonna be much better as it can only get better after release!

3D Modeling Issues:
- Engine master should have a guard
- Rudder is clipping into fuselage
- Would be nice to see a key in the key hole this should be very easy to do
- Flight control stick's look too small and is incorrectly modelled and have missing labels
- Tie downs are looking weird because they are not tied to anything on the ground or on the aircraft
- Nose wheel 3d modell look wonky there is nothing connecting the wheel/wheel fairing to the strut
- Circuit breakers are missing an edge on the top, this makes them look weird

Systems/Flightmodel Issues:
- ECU TEST has a clickspot and is animated but does nothing
- Electric Master Start should be jumping back to on when releasing
- Emergency horizon guard does not make a sound and clickspot is wonky again it seems like this witch does nothing
- Would be nice to see at least a basic implementation of ELT and pitot heat
- Naming is weird aircraft root folder says its a da40 so does it in xplane would like too see this changed to da40ng(Could cause confusion if I owned a da40)

Texture rant:
- Textures are mediocre at best, all the rivets etc are there but I feel like its too clean though I know its usually a pretty clean aircraft
- Missing labels in cockpit more specifically on the left side by the canopy

Sounds rant:
- Some of the sounds sound off especially the Lights switches sound like there is a third detend of some kind, same for the fuel switch

What I actually need help with:
- Rudder has too much authority on takeoff especially during low speed
- Aircraft does not want to flare resulting in hard landings
- Rudder is too sensitive when landing making sure I am in a ditch everytime after landing
