Hello,
Exterior model is very nice, interior is nice but the textures could be better.
Elevator in the model is working in reverse and EGT gauge is not working.
I hear that patch exists to fix all of these, but it is nowhere to be found because the manufacturer no longer exists (WS Simulations).
If you have 1.2 (or any other) patch to this aircraft, please contact petri.simolin@gmail.com (I have also written to several other forums and tried to get the patch from somewhere).
Retailers only provide the 1.0 version with broken gauges, if you know otherwise, please let me know, I would be happy to purchase this twice just to get the patch!
I have to update my previous review. The latest build 1.2 is a HUGE improvement. Textures are better, flight modelling better in fact this is now a very enjoyable light aircraft to take VFR flying. The VC is realy well rendered now and the reflections in the cockpit give a feeling of real quality. Frames are pretty good but not as optimized as Carenado. Still, considering the good value, I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys low and slow.
I beg to differ. Yes, it's not the convincing release, but it is the ONLY ultralight in FSX that doesn't eat more framerates than one of the heavy irons. For a leisure flight out of one of the more scenic locations in FSX this is a good buy.
Low price and sadly low quality. Poor textures and the model is of freeware quality in my honest opinion. So sound file at all is provided, the product uses the standard C172 sounds aliased. flight dynamics are too twitchy which the real DA-20 is not, despite being a light aircraft. This add-on is nowhere near the league of the Aerosoft Digital Aviation Katana DA20.
