    Robin DR400-140B "Dauphin" - Image 1

    Description

    Robin DR400-140B "Dauphin", complete aircraft for MSFS2024, no other add-on required.

    V1.0 december 2024

    Installation: extract RAR archive and drag "aircraft-dr400-140b" into your Community folder

     

    This model is based on original MSFS2020 Asobo DR400/100 "cadet", but was adapted with a new flight model tuned to match the performances of the 140B version, fitted with a 160 hp Lycoming O-320 D2A engine and a Sensenich 74 DM6 S5-2-64 propeller.

    Other specific features:

    - Airspeed indicator in kt

    - Tachometer green arc 2'000 - 2'700 rpm

    - Light intensity dimmed to enable realistic night VFR operation without dazzling

    - Own livery to represent typical look of a 80's era model. The model remains compatible with other so far published DR400 liveries.

     

    Speed references:

    Rotation speed Vr 55 kt - flaps 1

    Best climb angle speed Vx 70 kt - flaps 1 

    Best climb rate speed Vy 80kt - no flaps

    Cruise speed 110 kt

    Manoeuver speed Va 116 kt

    Max operational speed Vno 140 kt

    Never exceed speed Vne 166 kt

    Max speed with extended flaps Vfe (beginning of white arc) 92 kt

    Max speed to extend full flaps 80kt

    Glide speed 80 kt without flaps / 70 kt flaps 1

    Stall speed Vs1 54 kt

    Stall speed in landing configuration Vs0 47 kt

     

    Misc.

    Empty weight 580 kg

    Max take-off weight MTOW 1'000 kg

    Fuel capacity 110 liters AVGAS, 100 liters usable

    Average fuel consumption 33 l/h

    Autonomy 3 hours

     

    Known limitations:

    Since the base model is legacy from MSFS2020, pilot isn't yet visible in external views,  rear seats aren't visually featured and the canopy won't open.

    Pilot is spawned in front of aircraft engine, however with the aircraft in his back.

    Pre-flight visit is feasible, however without interaction. SHIFT + C default key makes you climb into the cockpit

    MSFS 2024 seems to limit pilot weight to 90 kg, no idea why.

    Aircraft statistics and model description are not displayed in selection menu.

    Robin DR400-140B « Dauphin », avion complet pour MSFS2024, aucun autre add-on n'est nécessaire.

    V1.0 décembre 2024

    Installation : extraire le fichier RAR puis déplacer le dossier "aircraft-dr400-140b" dans votre répertoire Community.

     

    Ce modèle est basé sur le DR400/100 « cadet » original d'Asobo, mais a été adapté avec un nouveau modèle de vol ajusté pour correspondre aux performances de la version 140B, équipée d'un moteur Lycoming O-320 D2A de 160 ch et d'une hélice Sensenich 74 DM6 S5-2-64.

    Autres caractéristiques spécifiques :

    - Indicateur de vitesse en kt

    - Arc vert du tachymètre 2'000 - 2'700 rpm

    - Intensité lumineuse des éclairages de bord réduite pour permettre des vols VFR de nuit réalistes sans éblouissement.

    - Livrée spécifique pour représenter le look typique d'un modèle des années 80. Le modèle reste compatible avec les autres livrées de DR400 publiées à ce jour.

     


    Vitesses de référence :

    Vitesse de rotation Vr 55 kt - volets 1

    Vitesse de meilleur angle de montée Vx 70 kt - volets 1 

    Vitesse de meilleur taux de montée Vy 80kt - lisse

    Vitesse de croisière 110 kt

    Vitesse de manœuvre Va 116 kt

    Vitesse opérationnelle maximale Vno 140 kt

    Vitesse maximale à ne jamais dépasser Vne 166 kt

    Vitesse maximale volets sortis Vfe (début de l'arc blanc) 92 kt

    Vitesse de plané 80 kt lisse / 70 kt avec 1 cran de volets

    Vitesse maximale pour sortir les pleins volets 80 kt

    Vitesse de décrochage Vs1 54 kt

    Vitesse de décrochage en configuration d'atterrissage Vs0 47 kt

     


    Divers

    Poids à vide 580 kg

    Poids maximum au décollage MTOW 1'000 kg

    Capacité de carburant 110 litres AVGAS, 100 litres utilisables

    Consommation moyenne 33 l/h

    Autonomie 3 heures

     


    Limites connues :

    Comme le modèle de base est hérité de MSFS2020, le pilote n'est pas encore visible dans les vues extérieures, les sièges arrière ne sont pas représentés visuellement et la verrière est fixe.

    Le pilote apparaît devant le moteur de l'avion, mais avec l'avion dans son dos.

    La visite pré-vol est possible, toutefois sans interaction. La combinaison par défaut SHIFT + C vous fait grimper dans le cockpit.

    Il semble que MSFS 2020 limite le poids du pilote à 90 kg, aucune idée pourquoi

    Les statistiques de l'avion et ses caractéristiques ne s'affichent pas dans le menu de sélection.

    Sehr realistisches Fluggefühl und mit der Optik fühlt man sich richtig heimisch :)

    I wish you would have added the EFB / tablet, to give the aircraft some navigation capability. Without it, it's just too similar to the default Robin.

    c'est un reel plaisir que de voler avec cet avion ; merci

    For some reason, I can't get the engine to start. Have followed the checklist and the standard asobo D400 starts without problems using the same procedure

    bonjour, moi aussi je n'arrive pas a faire le demarrage moteur. Est ce qu'il y a une solution ? Merci

    I would clarify that in msfs2024 the 140b variant must be selected from the Change Aircraft menu. Wasn't immediately obvious to me. Thank you for this mod btw, seems like it's a step up from the default plane!

    Like my real world Dauphin, absolutely amazing, thank you. Question about the neutral elevator trim. In my DR40 it's 4.0, where is the neutral point here?

    Would love to have it as an actual 4 Seater.
