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 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 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)
- Engines will overheat and catch fire if pushed too hard
- 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
- Cruise speeds and climb rates more closely match AFM numbers
- 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)
- Added ice flutter
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 limitations
- Garmin ESP (beta). Hold Gear/fire test for 3 seconds to toggle
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
- I Recommend these liveries from BilingualHarp7. They are specifically made to be compatible with the DA62X
Other
- Fuel totaliser can be reset by pressing the oxygen guage
- Added Debugging CAS messages to help figuring out mod compatibility (FAQ)
Todo:
- *Add/fix feathering animations (im not capable of this). Props may turn slowly when feathered
- VMC and spin behavior (when tail stalling is added)
Thanks for the help <3:

Currently the NXi is locked to “Lean” and “System” pages, where it should be “System” and “Fuel” for the diamonds. I am obviously aware of this. Whenever it’s possible to change this, it will be done. Fuel totaliser from them will also be used later
While you are here, could you please upvote this bug and raise awareness.
Thank you

I'm getting a "BLINKING MSG", where the CAS msg are located, on my MFD . I says, "PROP AXIS Check FAQ Flightsim.to". What is it and how can I get rid of it?. I already have the G1000 NXi and is working fine. Thanks,.

Having issues with navigation, the GPS is disabled and i have enable it by going to the onboard FPL and engage next waypoint

Working great.
Can I get directions on how to tweak the files so that the plane starts cold&dark with alternators and fuel OFF? I know it has been asked multiple times and you don't want to do it but can I at least know which file to change? I tried a few and it didn't work lol

For some reason the throttle control is hit or miss, while giving it full throttle the engines rev up but the dials dont seem to follow until you decrease throttle again and then inrease to full throttlebut otherwise everything seems ok
Greazer
Does it have a minimums callout? not included with WT NXI ? or ?

Thank you very much for your dedicated work on this great mod.

I'm trying to set up my TCA controls to control the master switch fuel pumps and fuel controls, starters etc. Do you know what they car called within SpadNext

Hello,
The Propellers does not feather when you put the Engine master in off position during flight.... is this normal? In real aircraft, they feather... on MSFS they just stop
And if you put the switch on again, the engine starts itself, even at very low IAS, in reality you need to push the start button with speeds below 100 IAS
mrtommymxr 7 day(s) ago
There is no feather animation as this is an asobo default model.
IIRC the AFM says 90 knots for windmilling restart. I need to check.

For some reason this mod is not working well with the Discus 2c mod v1.1 that was just released. When I have the discus mod in my community folder it causes the DA62 to overheat instantly (smoke blowing out of the engine, red warning messages all over the G1000). Removing the Discus or downgrading to v1.0 of the Discus causes the DA62 to behave normally.
Anyway, just wanted to give you a heads-up, easy workaround to move the Discus out of the comm folder when flying the DA62.

because you triggered the emergency gear extension.

I have a strange issue with AP suddenly turning itself on from time to time especially after a freeze or some degraded performance.
Also nav lights and flashing lights can't be turned off, they start on and rest like that no matter what I do with the switches. Is it something I am missing?
NEILCM
I really want to us my TCA throttle to control the engine starts etc, Is that possible?

Mod no longer works for me even when it is the only mod in community folder.The last version before this one worked fine. When aircraft spawns on runway left engine stalled and it gives incompatiable cfg, msg

AdamskiNZ 21 day(s) ago
Same for me. Left engine starts OK, but right engine won't start. Then left engine cuts out after a minute or so.
UPDATE: Apologies .. it is indeed a mod conflict after all. I used the Tools in Addon Linker to find the culprit (Asobo DA-62 Better Cockpit Lights). It has a systems.cfg clash. Keep up the good work!!!!

What am i to do about this?

Hi,
I have a question, I've flown about 10/15 hours with the mod now and it's going really well. However on my last two flights I have had strange performance issues with the engines.
After a while the engine just seems to degrade, quite rapidly even. I'm purposefully not pushing them further than 80% and all figures are in the green. Pitot heat is on.
However the engine loses like 1 point of power every so many minutes. And the right engine a bit faster than the left. I.e. I'm currently flying for 27 min and the left engine is at 63 power and the right is at 49. The RPM is 2190 for both.
It's currently -11 out and I have anti-ice enabled, but both on and without anti-ice I see this behaviour. Is this modelled on purpose for something or did I discover a bug?
Thanks!
p.s I'm on the Update 7 public beta.
boudasar 24 day(s) ago
I experienced the same issue and believe it may be related to fuel temp. It happened to me at FL200 with OAT-25c (fuel temp -11c when I noticed power loss). While descending to FL100, fuel temp rose and engine power recovered to 80%. Power loss was more significant on right engine.
Did another flight with OAT -13c at FL200, fuel temp -7c and no engine power loss.
mrtommymxr 24 day(s) ago
check the changelog. you will see what has changed
Ircghost 23 day(s) ago
I have read the changelog, could you be a tad less cryptic please?
I don't see anything in the changelog that might explain that at i.e. starting from 7000 feet (is that high according to your changelog?) there will be assymetrical massive power loss..
CaptEEEE 23 day(s) ago
I'm rather lost too on how to adapt to this new system. The plane flies comletely differently compared to how it used to. The engine seems to go from 0% load to 100% very quickly with just a slightly throttle movement. If this is more realistic to the actual plane, I'm all for it, just gonna take some adjustments on my part. But whew I'm finding approaches a lot harder compared to how it used to fly.

Air filter icing
mrtommymxr 23 day(s) ago
What do you mean from 0 to 100 instantly?
CaptEEEE 22 day(s) ago
I'm a dummy . I just recently re-installed windows and FS and used an alternate drive for FS.. so I had two community folders. Turns out I was flying the default DA62.. that's why it felt so weird. Sorry! Thanks for the great work on this, it's my fav!
boudasar 21 day(s) ago
In case you have not figured it out yet. The loss of engine power is due to icing. Activate alternate air (left pedal on copilot side) and you will recover power.
CaptEEEE 21 day(s) ago
I can see the alternate air handle like you mention, but there seems to be no way to select it to activate it. Is there a trick?
boudasar 21 day(s) ago
clicking on the copilot left pedal will activate.
Ircghost 21 day(s) ago
Is there a way to de-ice that? As de-icing on Max doesn't seem to clear it.
i didn't know I had to use alternative air to recover power, i'll try that next time.

THANKYOU MrTommy !!!!....Had older Liveries Installed & Replaced them with the NEW Ones Via Link Here. The Engines werent Starting Correctly,...BUT Everything is Fine Now !!! Incredibly Successful Effort you Made To THIS Aircraft is Noteworthy To Say the Least !! Thankyou Again !! 5 *stars !!

Pitot and Stall heat.... I'm assuming the error I'm getting is because my PITOT heat is on while I'm sitting still and it's overheating? I've always just turned them on during start up, but I see you added this in the last update so I'm assuming I'm doing something wrong?
Great mod BTW. Absolutely love this plane now.

I could not use it, i keep getting FEDEC error in red warning and engine wont start. and the altittude and baro display is all white blank

Please could you update your github repo please? I can then use this in MSFS Community Downloader which helps me keep track of github hosted mods and updates. Thank you
