FS20 file system is very fragile. Mods can interfere with eachother very easily. Please double, tripple check your community folder before posting. 99% of problems have been fixed simply by removing some other old mod. Also please delete the whole DA62X folder before updating.
Before posting, please read the incluced PDF, check the FAQ and Changelog!!
This mod aims to improve the default DA62 in as many aspects as possible.Also included is a PDF with a quick rundown of the added systems (G1000, FADEC and Anti-Ice) Further information can be found in the AFM
Key Features
Powerplant changes
FADEC
The FADEC controls manifold pressure, injected fuel quantity and propeller speed according to the desired engine power preselected with the power lever. The RPM will follow the RPM set curve. (Further details in the included PDF)
- Accurate engine performance in relation to pressure altitude and temperature
- Accurate fuel flows
- More accurate Oil/Coolant temperature and pressure behaviour
- More realistic startup behaviour
- Fixed Fuel Pumps (no fuel flow increase)
- Progressive Engine damage (disabled by default)
- Added oil and fuel starvation when flying inverted.
Compatible with WT G1000 Nxi
- Fixed Load, RPM indications
- Added systems and fuel page with funtional fuel totaliser (G1000 mod)
- Correct Engine and Ammeter indication behaviour
- Added Aux tank fuel indication
- CAS messages added for Engine, Anti ice, Gear, Failures and other systems.
Flightmodel
- More accurate Cruise speeds and climb rates
- Smoother less twitchy control compared to default
- Improved Cl table and stall characteristics
- Increased adverse yaw
- Increased flap lift and drag
- Increased gear drag
- Tighter turn radius on the ground and differential braking
- More accurate sitting attitude and suspension (rear wheels clip slightly)
Systems
- Custom Anti-Ice system with modes, endurance and weight (Check PDF for more info)
- Redone electrical system
- Functional Ice-Light
- Functional windshield defrost (always on)
- ECU Tests, functional ECU voters and feathering
- Simulated fuel/gearbox temperature
- Lower standby instrument brightness for night flying (linked to G1000)
- Standalone standby instruments
- Improved autopilot PIDs with correct lateral and vertical limitation
Statsaving
- Everythring from fuel levels, flaps lights, switches, frequencies are saved between flights. This can be enabled if desired (PDF)
Visuals
- Brighter taxi and landing lights (Uwa's lighting mod is already integrated and must be removed!)
- Improved Internal cockpit lighting and ambience
- Brighter Nav lights and LED strobes
- Added white Navlight
- Added metal leading edge and MT logo to static prop
Other
- Fuel totaliser can be reset by pressing the oxygen guage
- Added Debugging CAS messages to help figuring out mod compatibility (FAQ)

**SOLVED***NAV1/NAV2 is broken in G1000NXi since SU10
The Problem was: State saving and engine damage
I modified the DA62_INTERIOR.xml as mentioned in the PDF
--> this i causing my mentioned problem
Am I the only one with a broken Navigation?
The NAV1/NAV2 in G1000NXi says "0.00" --> I can't set any frequency
it only works when I remove the DA62X -Mod

I encountered a weird issue trying to take off from a 12000ft airport. Upon starting the engines, idle throttle gave me about 25% torque and RPM was above 1200, the plane immediately started rolling and it was hard to taxi without slamming the brakes. Something is off on high altitude, I expected the exact oposite, low torque and difficulty on taking off.

Hi is it possible to bind a key for the ECU with spadnext or in the sim,
had a look in binding.txt but nothing showing up in sim or spad with them bindings regards alan

Hi, I've mapped all possible Keys via spad.next including ECU-TEST and ECU Switches

Hi mrtommymxr,
thank you for this excellent DA62 improvement!
Would it be possible to add a clickspot for the emergency gear handle? I remember there once was one, though not at the right place. Please see screenshot in User Gallery (may take 48h until approved by admins).
Thank you very much!
Cheers
Martin

As i am using the old 3d model, the handle is not clickable, its part of the whole cockpit model.
katanapilot1977 8 day(s) ago
I see, but maybe it could be realized in a similar way like the ALTERNATE AIR clickarea on the right side of the console? Placing the clickarea over the handle on the left side of the centre console.
mrtommymxr 8 day(s) ago
This was done done before but removed it because it was pressed alot accidentally

Perhaps, it would have been a better idea that the Diamond DA62X Improvement Project was listed as its own aircraft in the menu rather than overwriting the default aircraft. After all, this aircraft does have the X factor (DA62X).

Really love your Mod ... many thanks! Just found minor glitch, when flying with increased frame rate the engines start wildly going up and down 😊

Thanks MrTommy for your continued outstanding work to this exquisite mod.
Sonosusto
As usual, thank you so much for modding this plane. With Navigraph and the pms50 750 makes it even better.
ponny2oo2 9 day(s) ago
How you add the pms50 750 to this?

Having issues with CTD now updated to SU10. First CTD was when starting flight then it would CTD while loading MSFS. Removed this mod and no CTD can use the default DA62 no problem (apart from after using this mod there is no way I want to fly the default DA62 :-p)
Maciek 12 day(s) ago
I confirm. The mod has a conflict with SU 10

Amazing mod. One problem though: My game (SU10 Beta) crashes to the desktop when I moved DA62X_Statesaving.xml and DA62X_EngineDamage.xml to 'Disabled modules' folder.
AviatorCSnet 13 day(s) ago
I can confirm. After installing the SU10 public release today, with the DA62X_Statesaving.xml in the Disabled modules folder, a CTD occurred before getting to the Welcome screen. Removing just the DA62X folder from the Community folder cured that. Re-adding it again with the DA62X_Statesaving.xml still in the Disabled modules folder, a CTD occurred before getting to the Welcome screen. Moving the DA62X_Statesaving.xml out of the Disabled modules and back to its original folder, the sim loads normally to the Welcome screen

Amazing Mod, Thanks! And I found a bug, RST fuel and GAL REM doesn't work, Maybe something blocked it?

Will start by saying thank you for the amazing work, 5 stars.
I have recently encountered a strange behaviour.
How's that?!
mrtommymxr 20 day(s) ago
i added fuel sloshing to the mod. perhaps a messed something up. ill take a look
Just tested this, no anomalys, both engines responded identically when feeding off the same tank
moun 20 day(s) ago
Thanks for the response. That happened to me in the megalopolis bush trip (latest WU) that might have something to do with it. Will try in a normal flight. Thank you!

Hello, using your latest mod in the beta 10 I note that the rocker switches on the overhead that control the pilot and copilot overhead lights do not work. I read somewhere that Asobo had modified some of the mouse actions and perhaps that is why nothing I do with the mouse can move those switches. The copilot light is on all the time. I am in VR but it is the same on the flat screen. Otherwise I love the mod!
dbarnea
First of all thank you for this hard work, plane is amazing.
I'm hitting a weird problem lately. As soon as I turn the battery on, right ENG on fire and I can do nothing to change that. Fuel is cut off, I didn't even get to the point of starting it. Any clue ?

Hi and thanks for your work!
Please can you make the control stick grabbable with VR controllers? This was added to all Asobo aircraft in Sim Update 7 (Nov 21) including the DA62, but it doesn't seem to have carried over to the modded version. I would love to fly your modded version using just the VR controllers. Thank you!

Great mod BUT.... the flight director causes the aircraft to bob up and down on auto pilot when in altitude hold mode. This causes the aircraft to bob at 10 feet up and down at every instance. I could imagine anyone riding in the aircraft vomiting very violently. Is this intended or a glitch?
