Sante Sottile Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Join us in welcoming the COWS team and their amazing new DA-42 aircraft for Microsoft Flight Simulator, now available exclusively on Orbx! Grab your copy here: https://orbxdirect.com/product/cows-da42-msfs Grab the free livery pack here: https://orbxdirect.com/product/cows-da42-liveries Visual Model: The DA42 Series sets our benchmark of a high-fidelity visual model. Recreated through thousands of reference photos and scans from a local DA42, every bolt is accounted for during the production of the 3D and texturing. Combined with the power of MSFS’ rendering engine, the plane looks gorgeous at every angle. Light-baked photorealistic reflections and ray-traced shadows & lighting textures Faithful exterior model matched with hundreds of pictures at various angles Intricate Interior model featuring moderate and heavy wear The interior features two options of black panel/standard grey furnishings Subtle and photorealistic photo-overlays for incredible lifelike textures All placards sourced and positioned from Diamond maintenance manuals Exterior features realistic moderate to heavy dirt/wear, matching reference DA42 Fiberglass scratching TKS leaks Flight Model: Tried and tested directly by DA42 students and flight instructors, the flight model faithfully replicates the real aircraft's performance in all stages of flight, including single-engine maneuvers and engine performance. You’ll feel like flying a real DA42 straight from the computer. Accurate Performance and handling with over 1500 hours of testing from DA42 pilots, students, and instructors Custom flight control animations showing respective trim forces and variable elevator backstop Tiny bump when dropping the gear and deceleration on the touchdown Airframe shakes during ground power runs Systems: Crafted for unparalleled immersion, the DA42 Series’ cockpit comes equipped with a suite of custom systems that covers all of the aircraft’s functions across the board - you’d feel right at home the moment you load the aircraft in the simulator. Accurate electrical system with circuit breakers and custom alternator voltage simulation Custom standby flight instrumentation Deice system with weight and functional stall heat Custom gear hydraulic system simulation with state saving and gravity emergency extension Custom lighting that warms up and responds to system voltage Custom Yaw damper and multiple fixes to native Asobo systems Engine damage, state saving, and random failures (to come later) Sounds: The DA42 Series delivers a head-filling sonic experience to your ears. With audio sourced from various real-world training activities, hear the impressive dynamic sounds of the engine, wind, and ground roll commanding your attention. Then listen to the effect of the sounds based on propellor pitch, fuel flow, and speeds from the decisions you make in the cockpit. Developed from the creator of sounds for FBW A32NX, FlightFX vision jet and other projects. The sound simulation follows systems, e.g. hydraulic actuator Dynamic engine, wind, and ground roll sounds Engine sounds differ depending on prop pitch, fuel flow, and speed Dynamic wind sounds, howling sounds in slips and drag noises with gear and flaps Sounds sourced from first-party sources, local DA42 Headset simulation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
