Wow just wow, from flying Piper Archer III and today finally beeing able to test out the Diamond DA-40-NG. I do not want to go back to Archer, im sorry Piper. First it felt very strange going from the usual "stick" to use a "joystick" instead but you got pretty used to it quite fast, and from never flying a G1000 machine WOW! All the instruments in one screen, just amazing what an overview you get. I simply can not praise this aircraft enough. So I realy hope OFK upgrades their existing DA-40!
Here's a link to the official Diamond homepage klick

Not being a pilot, I don't really know what the differences between a stick and joystick are. I do know flying is awesome :]
ReplyDeleteThe old stick is kinda more like the stearing wheel in a car. The joystick is the same as you see on fighterjets and so on.
ReplyDeleteJust checked out that plane on their website, it's certainly a fine piece of machinery. but you wont catch me flying it! :P
ReplyDeleteim always scared of flight, and more in a small carrier, yet i love it in games, is it customary to fly with parachute XD?
ReplyDeleteIt is not customary to fly with parachute xD. Altho some new airplane have a parachute built in to the frame.
