News! - Released - DA42 Twin Star (G1000) by Alabeo

 

This DA42 - Twin Star is another G1000 GPS twin-screen aircraft to be released in quick succession from Alabeo. This aircraft is also an interesting release because the Carenado G1000 system has had a bit of an upgrade and it feels far more responsive in not only loading in the data far more quickly, but it is far more efficient in flight and for usability.

This is a very nice light-twin aircraft that makes a great twin-engine trainer for your flight learning needs. The usual Carenado/Alabeo quality is also very much in vogue and so is the construction quality. Modern, light and powerful...  what more do you want.

Do owners of the previous version have to purchase this new and improved version? Or is there an update to the new features?

This is a first release of the Diamond DA-42 for Alabeo, I think you are mixing it up with Aerobask's DA-42? SD

This is the review that is linked for the Org store for this plane....but it's not much of a review. I get the feeling there is another review somewhere and that is just an update.

Nope, it is not a review but a news release...  The G1000 system by Alabeo has been just now updated to v3, so we are waiting for the update to be completed for the review. SD

Great plane...beautiful...

I am using XP 11

and the plane will not fly a flight plan...

Am working with Alabeo on a fix....a popular

on-line fix does not seem to work...failure 

of plane to fly flight plan is a bummer for me...

The DA 40, which I also purchased, will fly

a flight plan...

Hi Jan...I have the plane and i too had the problem...

I assume you have properly registered the plane

after purchase...

 

If memory serves me, there is a tool tab, accessible

on the left-hand side of the screen that has some Alabeo

settings...one of those is the culprit...like an open door or

something like that...

 

Hope this helps...

The date may be the clue? the DA42 from Alabeo is old in three years old, and it uses their own and now older G1000 system. This system has now been abandoned by Alabeo for this reason and they now use the G1000 Laminar Research version (the same as in the C172), but the aircraft has not yet had that upgrade? It wasn't a particularly good G1000 from the start? You could try setting up the full flightplan including the SID/STAR procedures in SimBrief and then importing in the completed flight plan into the G1000, it may work, it works that way with other limited FMS systems.

亲爱的开发者:您好,如果可以让用户进行绘画,我希望您可以向我发送一个类似于PSD的文档,以便玩家可以对绘画进行更改。如果你能告诉我如何制作它并提供帮助,我将不胜感激!

Text conversion: Dear Developer: Hi, if it is possible for the user to paint, I hope you can send me a PSD-like document so that the player can make changes to the painting. I would appreciate it if you could tell me how to make it and help!
