FS2020 - Flying the Diamond DA62

In this video, we take a look at starting, taxiing, takeoff, navigation and landing in the Diamond DA62 twin engine aircraft. Checklist is available at www.diamondaircraft.com/filea... .

This plane is a joy to fly.

I normally dont enjoy much of the commentary of Flight Sim videos, but you my friend were enjoyable to listen too!!

One thing you didn't mention is how the fuel system works. You have your main tanks and aux tanks. The aux tanks do not feed to the engine, they feed to the main tanks but they don't do that automatically. You need to use the "aux fuel pumps" just behind the fuel selector valve to get the fuel to move from the aux to the main. When you do it you can actually look at your fuel gauges and see it slowly raising.

[@GizmoMaltese]

Thanks. I'm pretty new to this. I'm not sure why you need to turn on fuel pumps. And when would you use the auxiliary tanks?

[@chris.a.1]

@@GizmoMaltese You want to engage the aux pumps (the two switches behind the fuel levers under the pilot's right armrest) once the main tanks are

[@r_bnubs3357]

@@GizmoMaltese You use the Aux tanks to just carry more fuel. The wing of these planes is very flexible so they couldn't just use a typical wing length single tank, they had to split them up so the wing could bend without damaging the fuel tanks.

You don't have to hold the starter button down. You should be waiting for the GLOW warning to dissappear and the Temps to come in line then simply press the button once, do not hold it in.

Bro... I was just looking for a da62 tutorial and you've uploaded not even 24hrs ago. Keep it up

[@ouilsen2]

Lookin' pretty good 😁 . I love these videos.

[@kingsuperbus4617]

great video!

[@JDSleeper]

The Baron remains my favorite twin. It's fast, powerful, and has a great rate of climb.

[@bucketheadTodd]

Would like to see you take Pilot2ATC through its paces. I just downloaded the trial, and I’m super impressed. I think getting your thoughts on the product would be very informative.

[@rulingmoss5599]

As a beginner I love this plane.

[@68at97]

its so easy to fly

[@maximpikalev9538]

oh boy can't wait to fly this baby when i get my new joystick!

[@tfisher]

Great job. Really useful and well done. Note that the checklist link you provided does not work. Can you update it? Thanks for producing this!

[@Lysdestic]

Have you looked into the Working Title Garmin mod(s) at all? They are a vast improvement on the stock Garmin in the game!

[@tbmdd]

Please do a tutorial for the Boeing 787 and auto pilot tutorial for it as well

[@ted363636]

So how does anti icing work? Do you need to switch this red button? When I fly through clouds, my plane gets full of ice and turning deice to high or max doesn't change it.

[@el737rs]

at 14:42 - this is not Don, it's Ob. Don is south from there :P

[@rackum44]

Is there a knob to adjust the lighting on the g1000/avionics in this plane on mine flying at night It's way too bright to where you can't even read the compass

[@OmobabaAtikoti]

Sweet

[@Duke49th]

Amazing. I thought something is wrong with me. But you really sit so far left and odd that it feels like flying sideways on landing, same with Taxi...feels like driving sideways.

[@amb7247]

What if at the top it says like Airport USDD -> TIME. How you change TIME to the destination airport?

[@fishbustin7926]

Can the Garmin homesafe/autoland system be incorporated into this aircraft?

[@whiskeydelta4073]

Does somebody know what does that red "alternate" de-icing switch do?

[@MrTommymxr]

since when are "voters" french?
Also id recommend the DA62X mod, alot more detailed on the systems side. (not biased)

[@saleasylum]

Where is the headlights button? You never say. I can't find it.

[@SHFT101]

How do you manage to turn so tightly on the runway? It feels like I'm driving a ferry

[@roadcyclist1]

For turning right: right rudder + right brake at the same time.

[@PeterMaddison2483]

I can't stop climbing, how do I level off?

[@Anonymousjoe64]

Hello, When I am flying in FS I find that when using heading mode the plane constantly banks right and struggles to maintain the selected heading, any idea why? Thanks!

[@roadcyclist1]

User error.

[@TheRealCFF]

@9:40 why don’t you turn on your taxi lights?

[@shapiro5000]

Seems quite underpowered on the ground but not so in the air.

[@wormyboot]

Within the first minute, you are wearing what appears to be a headlamp. Is that a mod or something?

[@Sasan]

It's the Flashlight and that's integrated. Search and set your keybind within the control options.

[@wormyboot]

@@Sasan thanks!

[@botsareeverywhere]

My PFD keep going off, I don’t know wtf the deal is

[@andie_pants]

Man... I'm not a real pilot so I'm not totally concerned about 100% true-to-life flight physics. I paid $30 for a third-party DA-62 for X-Plane 11, and the stock MSFS model looks way better.

[@andie_pants]

My G1000's PFD doesn't even have those cool runway graphics.

[@roadcyclist1]

Why are you playing X-Plane is the real question here. What did you expect...everything in X-Plane looks like crap.

[@andie_pants]

@@roadcyclist1 I have a potato computer. It won't run MSFS.

[@TheRealCFF]

@5:20 No, you have two power levers, one for each engine.

[@eXebeno]

my thoughts exactly lol

[@onthemarkdetailing8916]

Anyone would know why ap will not follow the flight path when I try to make a flight?

[@tacnav4465]

I had that a lot, until I realised you have to manually fly the aircraft quite near the pink line and in the correct direction, before it will lock on. Clue is 'GPS' in white means selected but not locked on, 'GPS' green means it has locked on.

[@eXebeno]

have it selected to nav mode

[@PeterMaddison2483]

404 for the checklist.

[@JenniferinIllinois]

Worries about using the weather radar on the ground yet chops up the dude with the pushback tug. LOL!!!!!

[@SauloMogi]

im facing issues with my ap, is not loading

Great but wish you'd don't it in the day time!

[@cmurphy3748]

Lots of “not worrying, too too much”.
