Yeah, i do a lot of flights in Diamond aircraft around Japan but i hate the DA-62 and its dumb design, i love the aircraft but it its restricting. This aircraft looks and sounds amazing but yeah its restricting.
Your reviews are great. Also some issues you have on switches and systems is calming to watch, because these are issues we all have. And we can observe you problem solving or just doing the walkaround 😊 Your speed of speaking is also suitable for those not having english as mother tongue. Your thinking and handling is straight, and your piloting skills are great. Very sympathetic! A relief and a contrast to those youtube simmers hasting through the switches, and showing off their knowledge, which sometimes is more of a buzzword session. Hang on !
I am but human! Switches are hard, and i don't want to give false impressions based on too much experience. If its hard for me, it will be hard for you etc.
I was hoping to see AvAngel's review on this one! I'd been wanting a modern piston, so I picked this one up and it hit the spot. Looking forward to seeing more from this dev - hopefully they take your advice on the textures. Thanks for the review!
I flew the Asobo DA 62 a bunch so I've metabolized the pillar in the face issue but I'm patiently waiting for the COWS DA 42 to come to the Xbox. Twin engines are sexier to me, alas.
Diamond: So what if the view out the front of the aircraft was like a TIe Fighter, but with a huge panel in the way too? AvAngel: *ANGY FACE* -- Plane looks great though. NGL.
I want to like Diamond aircraft but I just can’t stand to fly them because the visibility is terrible. The DA-62 is even worse with the huge engines blocking the side views and the ridiculously low pillar in your face. Thanks for another great video!
Thanks for your excellent review miss Angel :) I agree that the pillar is an obstruction, and it's going to annoy the hell out of me in VR. Which is why i'm probably going to have to skip this one. Sorry Skyward peeps!
If that is you in the aircraft you are far from being ugly. You are definitely a good looking girl (I'm 95, so you are a girl!). I hope the avatar is freely available.
"not terrible at all. I've seen far worse" still sounds rather underwhelming. From the rest of your review I would tend to characterise this plane as actually well done without any major vices apart from the textures that won't make the pixel-peepers happy. Especially considering the low price, good sound, excellent interior and the fact that it's the first plane by Skyward, I would actually call this a very good product.
Like the Tecnam P2010, also this airplane seems based on an excellent 3D model avalaible in online stores for about 180 dollars. How good will be the flight model? There are more and more MSFS developers using those stores. The first one was the kitfox Speedster. This is tge reason for the low price. No development cost for 3D model and texturing, Asobo G1000 ....
The Return of AvAngel with another Excellent Review!
Hm. I always liked the way Diamond Aircraft looked, externally, but holy cow, that interior visibility is just a crime. It's like being a tank driver!
exactly the same as in the DA62 we all know. I'll probably do a camera mod changing the seating position so the view is better.

Diamond loves them a good pillar to block your view. 🤣🤣🤣

Glad I could help!
Fantastic review, we had one of these visit our FBO last week. Looked amazing! Keep up the great work 😁
Enjoyed the review but like you, I don’t like Diamond aircraft looks. That A pillar is a pain! Thanx Av 😁
Great review, thank you! And yes, that pillar is ridiculously huge!
I'd love to own it but the pillar makes it a no go for this guy! Sorry Mr. Developer😮

Another interesting presentation....Great little aircraft....Thank you...Roger..Pembrokeshire

You missed the springs on rudder pedals don't move going left and right, to be fixed bug. One part goes through other rudder pedal part.
I did not notice that! thanks.
Might have missed it in your video, but how accurate is the flight model of this addon (vs the real thing)? Do you have any info on that?
Im afraid I don’t know but it feels reasonably on point for type
Throttle IDLE on startup! It's not an Avgas plane.
//42 made an avatar of you, AvAngel. Is that really you?
Uh, this is gotfriends avatar, i don't think //42 did! But it is me sadly.
@@AvAngel you’re right, it was gotfriend. Please don’t say that.
Where do you get the cat?
Gotfriends Best Friends pack :)
@@AvAngel thank you
Feels like you were ‘sat’ too far back which exaggerates the pillar.
tis the default spot it gives you.
If that is you in the aircraft you are far from being ugly. You are definitely a good looking girl (I'm 95, so you are a girl!). I hope the avatar is freely available.
It is from Gotfriends :) and you are too kind.
@@AvAngel You are now downloaded and installed as my favourite pilot. x
:)
Zhou are setting to far back. Adjust your view
This is the standard view of the aircraft. I can adjust it, but the default view point should be the correct one. I review aircraft where that is set

PilotQ8 beat you to the first look
It's not a competition. I don't claim to have the first review, its just 'a first look' an initial one. It's what I do.

It’s certainly not bad, no major vices beyond exterior textures and the reflection
@@AvAngel Fixed now in V1.1!

Developers have used these resources for decades whether for parts or whole models across many games, not that unusual
@@AvAngel Did not realized before! Now I am retired and have free time for studying Blender...
The Tecnam is far less sophisticated visually. Especially the texturing of the interior is horrible.
