NEWS! - Aerobask updates Diamond DA-62 to X-Plane 12

 

 

They have been busy over at Aerobask. Already they have developed for current X-Plane 12 compliance has been the Diamond DA-50RG and just lately the Viperjet. Now here is the Twin-Diesel engined Diamond DA-62, a cracker of an aircraft that now has the X-Plane 12 features as well . The original X-Plane 11 review is here; Aircraft Review : Diamond DA-62 by Aerobask

 

The Diamond DA62 is a five- to seven-seat, twin-engine light aircraft produced by Diamond Aircraft Industries and was first announced in March 2012.

 

After the success of the Diamond DA-50, it was soon morphed into the DA-62 which kept the larger fuselage of the DA-50, but added the Twin-Engined design of the DA-42, and comes also with the more powerful Austro Engine E4 (marketed as the AE 300) which is a liquid-cooled, inline, four-cylinder, four-stroke, diesel piston aircraft engine of which the DA-62 has the 180hp AE330 version.

 

This is still Beta patch version, not a full X-Plane 12 aircraft file. So changes can still happen as can you find bugs in the new simulator beta run.
