I've reached out in a number of different places with these issues, and Alabeo seems to have abandoned the DA40 series without fixing some things.

No response from Alabeo.

Has this series simply been abandoned? 

I am currently working on my ATPL and am quite new in the world of simulators, so sorry in advance if some of my questions appear silly 😉

I would like to train at home using the plane I'm flying with but I have a few issues and I am seeking for help 🙂

I installed P3D V4 Academic and bought the DA40 from Carenado (which the same as Alabeo's right ?)

But I don't manage to make a few things work : 

- The DME is not working (no display at all, no functionnal switches) : I read that we can use the 172RG's instead (by modifying the panel.cfg) but I don't own this one. Is there another way ?

- The ADF is not controllable : the display is ok and I can switch between both frequencies but I cannot modify the frequencies. 

- The GNS 430 are not working either (a few buttons are working but I also can't modify the frequencies nor use the approachs and other infos)

For this last one, I saw that we can buy the GNS430/530 from RealityXP but is it mandatory ? Do we have to buy it or it is only for advanced functions ? 

Thank you very much,

I got both of these, DA 40 and recently bought GTN 750, so I was thinking were omeone able to put GTN 750 into VC maybe?

I suck at panel configuration, so i was thinking it maybe fit in place where original GPS sits?

Help is apreciated.

Thank you

But you have to own alabeo 172Rg and have it installed.

Open alabeo 172rg panel.cfg :  search and copy "GAUGE_172_DME!Radio_KN62A_DME". just this text not the gauge number or coordenates.

open alabeo DA-40 panel cfg: on Vcockpito2 replace gauge01.

so you must read" gauge01=GAUGE_172_DME!Radio_KN62A_DME," do not change other thing or coordenates.

done!

save and enjoy.

I just wanted to do one simple flight with my DA 40 after some time, but engine RPM dropped to idle and power lever stopped responding. Temperature on 2500 ft where it happened was -8,7, scattered clouds, but I had heat turned on and cabin heat too . I honestly did not expect that to happen . I also did not found alternate air source as is suggested in emergency procedures. I could use some explanation here.

Edit: I just remebered that it is injection system. SO here is additiona data , heating was on pitot and both handles, fuel pump was on 2400 rpm in cruise and about 25 power. I am positive that low air temp caused this, but it is weird since my A2A Cherokee flew normaly in -30 degrees celsius in alaska.

Thank you

if needed I can try to get some data maybe.

data for altitude where my engine started ildling:

temp -8,7 dew point -11,3 alt 2350 humidity 81,4

can someone do this for me please??

Many thanks John

Or this?

If you prefer #2, PM me.

Thank You 

I fly a DA40 - can anyone else who does comment on the accuracy/feel of the flight model?

Also, the one I fly has a GNS530/430 stack. I own the RealityXP set, and though I might not be able to get it into the panel, does anyone know of any issues using in in undocked windows?

thanks,

Andrew

Why on earth don't they just give bliksimpie a call and ask him to do their GPSs?

Rant over.

Oh, not quite. What is it with developers branding stuff? Orbx do it at the drop of a hat, A2A do it (remove the yoke and there's an A2A logo underneath and Alabeo have stuck their name on top of the joystick! The point I'm trying to make is, we KNOW what scenery or aircraft we're flying/over don't we?

Rant properly over.

may be you've come across the same issues. Why is the engine a 6cyl engine? AFAIK a IO 360 M1A  / A4M (4 cyl, inj.) is used (or a Cenurion Diesel)? 

What I am also missing: the typical hiccup the DA40 gets when it is leaned and you throttle forward.
