DA40NG QUESTIONS

[Aglos]

Hi

Does this aircraft have  G1000 Synthetic Vision and maintenance module like the sr22?

Thank you 

[Coop]

Hi Aglos,

Regarding SVS, it does not. We may add it in the future, but right now that system isn't the most stable for X-Plane 12.

Regarding Maintenance, that is not featured but mainly due to the differences between the SR22. SR22s are common for owner-operator situations, as such maintenance is a huge part of the ownership experience. With the DA40NG, this aircraft is more designed to mimic the typical experience found with that aircraft -- rentals and flight training. We focused on the components that are most relevant for those situations.

Ok I understand thank you for your quick response, I always like the idea that if I do things wrong there can be consequences, that's why I like the maintenance modules.

Does this plane only have elevator trim?

Yes, only elevator trim.

Is there an Apple Silicon Version available? I can activate and fly the plane only in Rosetta mode...

Right now X-Aviation activation with Gizmo requires Rosetta mode.

Hi @Coop,

Could you please specify a bit more the additions to the default G1000? Are for instance checklists included as in the SR22? Is there a dedicated engine page?

Thanks

Best, Claus

I think, not only the activation requires Rosetta, also the plugins included with the aircraft itself require Rosetta, and that’s the bigger problem. If i only had to activate Rosetta while activating the plane an could fly after that without it, that would be nice. Because Rosetta costs about 10-15 fps on my side!

Are there plans to release a Apple Silicon compatible version of the aircraft and if yes, what’s the planned release date?

It's in the works, and we'll definitely let you know when it happens!

Unfortunately none of these is currently available in the DA40

Are there any news on this? It's quite a year since you mentioned the native Apple Silicon Support is "in the works". Almost all other manufacturers of airplanes for X-Plane now support Apple Silicon natively.

Nope, you haven't missed any news yet!
