I just started flying in MSFS. After getting through the training modules I jumped into the single-engine Bonanza G36 with the G1000 NXi. There are so many planes to choose from, and this video leads me to believe the DA62X should be my next plane, as it seems very similar to the G36 (fairly simple controls, glass cockpit, performance metrics about the same.) In the real world I'd need a lot more hours before transitioning to a two engine plane, but in MSFS it's probably not a big deal. Of course learning to use the G1000 well is the biggest challenge. Good video, nice channel, subscribed.
Yeah, I think this is a beautiful plane with many nice features but I disagree with the video that it has great visibility. As you mention, that curved pillar really is a terrible blind spot for touring around as well as the huge engines. Even the lowly Cessna-172 is much better for visibility.
Recently got to sit in one and the pilot is a friend of my dad who offered to take us up for a flight. Apparently they have engine issues from flight schools who use them.
Great video. What landing technique were you using? It wasn't ILS, but you still had a glide slope (GS) tape. I also heard an audio warning about vertical track. I enjoy landing with ILS and RNAV, but I would love to replicate what you did.
Really nice video and review of the plane. I particularly agree with the visibility aspect! Not always the best out of a twinkie. Haven't tried this plane yet in the sim, I am going to have a go!
Good morning, Nice and clear review about the DA 62, I personally like the Twin Otter a bit more because of its somewhat complex controls and that fascinates me. Speaking of the Garmin NXI 1000, I haven't heard anything since late last year regarding Updates, are they still improving the NXi? Thank you for your reply and review. With kind regards Jack from the Netherlands and good luck with our wonderful hobby.
@@toribarron5700 That would be very nice, good morning Tori from the Netherlands. I had the idea that it would indeed be further developed because there were still a number of options that remained open. Nice to hear that Microsoft will probably take over when it comes to continuity. Thanks for your answer and good luck with this beautiful hobby! Kind Recards, Jack.
@@jackwoud, oh no. I got confused. The NXI is different from the Working Title version which is the one I believe will be made the default MSFS Garmin once out of free beta. I am sorry for my confusion. In any case, the default Garmin will be better soon. And the NXI is still great. Greetings from Salt Lake City, Utah… where it may be too late for me to be tweeting about such nuanced things! Enjoy your day, Tori
I installed the mod but in the aircraft selection page it just shows a DA62 it doesn't say mod or improvement or anything how would I know that the mod is installed
Me: "Let me look up why I should buy a Diamond DA62..." This video: "Hello everyone, and welcome to VFR... Me: "I'M SOLD! VICTOR, ORDER ME THE DAMN PLANE AT ONCE!!"
@VFR Simulations I probably will buy my DA62 thru you guys eventually. I just have to wait until a few investments take off. Shouldn't be more than a year or so... Quick question tho...I heard that the DA50 has the options of a pressurized cabin as well as a ballistic parachute. Then I read where Diamond scrapped those ideas. Would it still be an option for a pressurized cabin and ballistic parachute if I coaxed Diamond to continue those options if they are no longer planning to have those options available? Or are they still available to customers?
Took it for a spin for the first time a couple weeks ago and I was really surprised at how versatile and easy it was to fly. Really underrated imo!
I always found it interesting that the Centurion engine(s) in the DA62 is based off of an engine that originally was installed in a Mercedes.

DA-62 came before (certified 2016) the DA-50. The DA-50 was recently certified, end of 2020. Also the DA-62 has 7 seats and the DA-50 has 5 seats.
Not flown this plane much, the pillar for the wind screen on the left is a huge blind spot. Might give this another go though. Great video.

When starting engines remember to let glow annunciation to go away first before starting. Otherwise great review of the plane 👍🏾

The Garmin is still getting tweaked but it seems stable now. Rumored to be added to the sim officially with the next System Update but we shall see.

Okay, clear and thanks for your response.

Great airplane but for some reason the ECU ynow that auto run up thing doesn't work for me and some weird red warnings pop up on the glass cocpit PFD
hello for some reason i can not refuel the aircraft before loading the flight i am stuck with no fuel
" A pretty cool airport in Downtown Cleveland, LOL. Of all the things I think about that city... "Cool" isn't one of them :D
Any video on the weather radar?
Nice job
Someone please help! When I turn on electric master, the avionics don't turn on. I have to actually hit avionics master to get a picture.
That may be the case in newer updates, will check it out if I get a chance
@@VFRSimulations thank you. Issue still persists.
I get esp off displayed on the PFD, any ideas?
nice review ! What livery is this?
Da-62 Multipack on Flightsim.to flightsim.to/file/4983/da62-multipack

Come to us for sensible consumer advice!

Wait - is the DA62, 1 million or 2 million USD?
It's a little over $1 million.
I do fly it every once and a while. I find it too modern and easy to fly
It's nice to have something that a flight simulator novice can get their feet wet in. There's no mixture or propeller pitch control
nah
