The DA40 took the DA20's general concept into a larger cabin. Its low wing, fixed tricycle undercarriage and extensive canopy glazing give it a distinctive appearance. Production has taken place in Austria and Canada, with several engine and equipment developments.
Petrol-engined and diesel-family DA40s differ in engine management and cockpit equipment. The simulator products identify their represented model.

Familiar fine handling, with a qualified verdict on the diesel
Whiteman approached the Austro-powered DA40 NG with experience of the original prototype and earlier production versions. Flying G-SUEO with its regular demonstration pilot, Mark, he appreciated the simple power control and comfortable seating, although mastering the Garmin displays would require more study. Initial acceleration was strong, but the departure did not deliver the improvement he had hoped for. Retracting the flaps brought a noticeable reduction in the modest early climb.
Once established, the familiar appeal returned: light, well-coordinated controls, a useful mechanical trimwheel and excellent visibility made formation flying and general manoeuvring a pleasure. The aeroplane required continuing right-pedal pressure, which Mark suspected might reflect that particular aircraft's rigging; Whiteman did not establish it as a fleet characteristic. His final assessment remained mixed. He admired the DA40's handling and recognised the diesel's potential economy, while wishing its takeoff and initial climb felt more convincing.
A trainer that rewards coordination and planning
Turner evaluated the DA40 as a prospective training aircraft and found plenty to keep a student engaged. Its low seating position and broad view made the runway feel close, while the initial takeoff required deliberate directional control. In the air, he found the stick easy to adopt and the controls light without becoming vague. Once properly trimmed, the aircraft held its attitude well, but its clean airframe demanded anticipation when levelling off or preparing to descend.
An overcast formed beneath the demonstration flight, so the return included an IFR clearance and vectors to an ILS. That gave Turner a practical opportunity to explore the workload of an instrument approach before breaking into visual conditions for landing. He finished the flight smiling and considered the Diamond a promising trainer for future professional pilots. His praise included the demands it placed on rudder coordination and energy management, alongside reservations about ground ventilation, storage space and the attention required during transition.
Dinner at Santa Paula changes a traditional pilot’s mind
Lee wanted to experience the DA40 XLS on an ordinary outing, so he joined distributor demonstration pilot Robert Stewart for a trip from Long Beach to Santa Paula. The wraparound view immediately impressed him, and he welcomed the manual trimwheel after initially fumbling with electric trim. Climbing out toward the coast, he began to appreciate how much of the surrounding landscape was visible from ahead of the wing.
The journey combined low-speed handling demonstrations, music through the headsets and a look at the Garmin synthetic-vision display before an arrival among Santa Paula's classic aircraft. Lee had expected to dislike a modern composite aeroplane, but found that the technology left plenty of opportunity to enjoy hand-flying. Returning to Long Beach, he was reluctant to walk away.

Diamond DA40 NG
Free + ProMSFS 2024MSFS 2020
The DA40 took the DA20's general concept into a larger cabin. Its low wing, fixed tricycle undercarriage and extensive canopy glazing give it a distinctive appearance. Production has taken place in Austria and Canada, with several engine and equipment developments.
The factory starting point selects Diamond DA40 NG across MSFS 2024, MSFS 2020.
Mechanical linkage motivates airspeed-sensitive stick resistance. Spring resistance builds with the selected airspeed response. A separate aerodynamic term adds speed-dependent control load.
The DA40 elevator tab supplies pitch pressure relief, unlike the DA20’s spring-preload system. Valid trim provides the configured pressure relief. Autopilot following is enabled for supported control references.
Esta revisão específica ainda não está habilitada para instalação pública.
Controls and trim
The DA40’s elevator and ailerons use pushrods, with cables operating the rudder. A Bowden cable drives the elevator trim tab, and electric flaps select their named positions. Lycoming XLS and diesel NG versions retain different propulsion and cockpit equipment.
About the values
The gains are normalized profile settings. They describe the chosen effect balance; hand force depends on the device and its output limits. IAS references are tuning values rather than operating limits. Physical acceptance of this revision remains pending.
Master gain & control system
Master gain85%
A escala final de saída aplicada a tudo que o modelo produz, antes do teto do dispositivo.
Mais: tudo (mola, cargas, efeitos) fica mais forte junto.
Menos: tudo amacia junto.
Por que aqui: Scales overall profile strength while preserving effect balance, subject to device and output limits.
Forces
Spring strength80%
A força base de centragem que puxa o manche de volta ao centro. Todas as outras forças se empilham sobre ela. Baixa demais e o manche parece frouxo em voo normal; alta demais e ele briga com sua mão e mascara os sinais menores por cima.
Mais: uma centragem mais firme que resiste mais à mão.
Menos: um manche mais mole que depende só da carga aerodinâmica.
Por que aqui: Mechanical linkage motivates airspeed-sensitive stick resistance. The baseline spring is 0.8. Its low-speed blend reaches baseline strength at 67 KIAS.

Uma pequena zona neutra ao redor do centro onde a mola fica quieta, para que movimentos mínimos em repouso não trepidem. Mais larga é mais calma porém mais solta; mais estreita é mais precisa mas pode tremer no centro.
Mais: um centro mais calmo porém mais solto, com mais folga.
Menos: um centro mais apertado que pode tremer em repouso.
Por que aqui: Sets travel around the centre before the baseline spring resists. Smaller values engage it sooner.
Overall aerodynamic load70%
Uma escala mestra sobre as duas cargas sustentadas de eixo, aplicada antes do balanço independente delas. Os perfis normalmente a deixam quieta e ajustam as duas cargas de eixo.
Mais: os dois eixos carregam mais forte.
Menos: os dois eixos aliviam juntos.
Por que aqui: The aerodynamic-load gain is 0.7 with an indicated-speed reference of 125 KIAS. This supplies speed-dependent loading alongside the spring.
Spring engagement full67 kt
A velocidade em que a mola atinge força plena. Entre o início e este ponto, a centragem endurece progressivamente à medida que o fluxo de ar cresce sobre os comandos.
Por que aqui: Sets the IAS where the low-speed blend reaches baseline strength; high-speed stiffening also uses it.
Centre firmness vs speed15%
Quanto a própria centragem endurece com a velocidade, além das cargas de deflexão. Zero mantém a sensação de centro constante; mais faz o manche centrar mais duro em cruzeiro e mais solto no circuito.
Mais: um centro que endurece nitidamente com a velocidade.
Menos: uma sensação de centro constante em qualquer velocidade.
Por que aqui: The high-speed spring-stiffening gain is 0.15. It strengthens the permitted spring response above 67 KIAS, with the squared-speed ratio capped at 5.
Centre stiffening cap5
O limite superior do endurecimento de centro pela velocidade, para que voos muito rápidos não tensionem a mola sem freio.
Mais: mais endurecimento total permitido em alta velocidade.
Menos: o endurecimento corta antes.
Por que aqui: Limits the squared airspeed ratio used for high-speed spring stiffening; it is not a device-force cap.
Aileron load85%
A carga sustentada de rolagem da deflexão dos ailerons e da velocidade, balanceada independentemente da arfagem. Junto com a carga do profundor define a razão de harmonia de comandos de que falam as resenhas.
Mais: esforços de rolagem mais pesados.
Menos: ailerons mais leves e vivos.
Por que aqui: Roll and pitch aerodynamic scales are 0.85 and 1, respectively. They set the aerodynamic axis balance. No custom spring-travel curve is enabled.
Elevator load100%
A carga sustentada de arfagem da deflexão do profundor e da velocidade, balanceada independentemente da rolagem. É a alavanca principal por trás do peso de arfagem de um tipo. Não toca aileron, mola, compensador nem forças de buffet.
Mais: esforços sustentados de arfagem mais pesados em velocidade.
Menos: um profundor mais leve, com menos músculo para segurar.
Por que aqui: Scales pitch aerodynamic loading; pitch spring travel and trim responses are separate settings.
Max output force55%
Um teto sobre cada força estável de arfagem ou rolagem antes de chegar ao dispositivo, protegendo contra pancadas ou saturação do hardware em manobras fortes.
Mais: picos de força estável mais altos antes do corte.
Menos: um teto mais suave; manobras duras achatam antes.
Por que aqui: Caps directed-force output. Native spring effects and device limits remain separate.
Airspeed blendingTrue
Ativa a janela de engate da mola em baixa velocidade (nós de início/pleno acima). Desligado, a mola é constante em todas as velocidades.
Por que aqui: Allows baseline spring strength to rise with indicated airspeed where the control law permits it.
Low-speed spring floor50%
Quanto da mola sobrevive parado, antes que a velocidade possa gerar força aerodinâmica. Um piso alto mantém o manche estacionado firme; um piso baixo dá a sensação solta, de cabos com folga, de um avião leve estacionado.
Mais: um manche mais firme estacionado e no táxi.
Menos: um manche mole estacionado que só desperta com velocidade.
Por que aqui: Sets low-speed spring strength as a fraction of baseline when blending is enabled. One keeps full strength.
Spring engagement start15 kt
A velocidade em que a mola começa a subir do piso de baixa velocidade rumo à força plena: os comandos "ganhando vida" na corrida de decolagem.
Por que aqui: Sets the IAS where the low-speed spring blend starts rising. This is a feel threshold, not a flight limit.
Velocidade de ajuste de força125
A velocidade indicada em que a carga aerodinâmica atinge seu nível pleno de projeto. Ela ancora toda a curva de carga à faixa real de velocidades do avião: um 172 carrega por volta de 110 nós, um jato bem depois.
Mais: as cargas chegam mais tarde; o manche fica leve até mais velocidade.
Menos: as cargas chegam antes e o cruzeiro pesa mais.
Por que aqui: Sets the IAS reference for aerodynamic loading. It is an estimate, not published cruise TAS or a flight limit.
Trim
Trim relief (elevator)30%
Com que força o compensador de profundor alivia o esforço de arfagem mantido e desloca onde o manche assenta. Em 100 %, um avião bem compensado não precisa de pressão mantida: o fluxo de trabalho de compensar-a-carga do voo real.
Mais: o compensador tira mais esforço mantido; em 100 %, todo compensado o anula.
Menos: você segue segurando esforço mesmo compensado.
Por que aqui: The DA40 elevator tab supplies pitch pressure relief, unlike the DA20’s spring-preload system. Pitch authority 0.3 provides load relief and permitted centre movement; roll authority is 0.

O mesmo alívio para o compensador de rolagem. A maioria dos tipos de aviação geral não tem compensador de aileron real, então isto fica em zero; tipos com compensador de rolagem recebem um valor correspondente.
Mais: o compensador de rolagem tira mais esforço mantido.
Menos: o compensador de rolagem faz menos.
Por que aqui: Scales supported roll-trim relief and permitted centre movement. Zero removes roll response.
Effect gains · Ground
Runway rumble38%
Vibração de rolagem no solo pela velocidade das rodas e tipo de superfície: asfalto, grama ou cascalho sob o trem.
Mais: uma textura de superfície mais forte no manche.
Menos: um táxi mais liso.
Por que aqui: Sets rolling texture strength, modified by speed, surface and undercarriage configuration.
Gear bumps25%
Solavancos curtos e discretos de juntas de dilatação, sulcos e superfície irregular, pontuando o ronco contínuo.
Mais: solavancos mais nítidos de juntas e sulcos.
Menos: detalhes de solo mais suaves.
Por que aqui: Sets gear-bump texture during ground motion, separate from touchdown impact.
Effect gains · Airframe
Stick shaker50%
O zumbido dedicado do stick shaker de estol, disparado pelo próprio sistema de aviso do avião. Só tipos com shaker real recebem valor; o resto confia no buffet aerodinâmico e na buzina.
Mais: um shaker mais duro.
Menos: um shaker mais discreto.
Por que aqui: Sets triggered shaker strength; inactive while the shaker feature is disabled.
Stall buffet50%
Sacudida da célula ao se aproximar do estol e enquanto o aviso soa: quão alto esta asa anuncia que está infeliz. Tipos de quebra seca recebem buffet modesto e deixam a buzina levar o aviso.
Mais: um tremor pré-estol mais forte.
Menos: uma asa mais discreta; a buzina leva o aviso.
Por que aqui: Sets stall-buffet strength. Zero removes the cue without changing simulator stalls or warnings.
Mach buffet0%
Buffet transônico ao se aproximar do limite de Mach. Significativo para jatos perto de MMO, zero para pistões e turboélices que nunca chegam lá.
Mais: um buffet transônico mais forte perto do limite de Mach.
Menos: um voo mais liso em Mach alto.
Por que aqui: Sets high-Mach buffet strength; onset and full-strength thresholds are separate.
Flap buffet28%
Vibração de baixa frequência da célula com flapes estendidos no fluxo, na janela de velocidade em que eles realmente trabalham o ar.
Mais: um voo mais áspero com flapes trabalhando.
Menos: flapes de aproximação mais suaves.
Por que aqui: Sets flap buffet at the configured position and speed gates. Flap movement texture is separate.
Gear buffet0%
Tamborilar da célula pelo trem retrátil pendurado na corrente de ar. Zero para tipos de trem fixo, onde a célula nunca muda de forma.
Mais: mais tamborilar com o trem embaixo.
Menos: um voo com trem embaixo mais limpo.
Por que aqui: Sets gear aerodynamic buffet; movement and ground-contact cues are separate.
Effect gains · Engine, mechanical & drag
Touchdown thump65%
O golpe único quando as rodas tocam a pista, escalado pela razão de descida: um pouso macio sussurra, uma chegada firme bate.
Mais: um golpe mais duro no toque.
Menos: chegadas mais suaves.
Por que aqui: Sets landing-impact strength; landing telemetry and response shape determine the pulse.
Reverse rumble0%
Vibração na corrida enquanto o reverso ou as hélices em beta trabalham. Zero para tipos sem reverso.
Mais: uma corrida mais áspera sob reverso.
Menos: um reverso mais discreto.
Por que aqui: Sets reverse-thrust vibration with valid reverser and engine conditions. Zero removes the cue.
Engine rumble16%
Vibração contínua do grupo motopropulsor seguindo a rotação entre marcha lenta e potência máxima, o lembrete sempre presente de que algo queima combustível lá na frente.
Mais: mais motor no manche.
Menos: um motor mais discreto.
Por que aqui: Sets estimated engine vibration using configured telemetry and response, not measured cockpit vibration.
Flap motion12%
Vibração contínua apenas enquanto o simulador informa as superfícies de flape realmente em movimento. Segue o movimento e as falhas reais do atuador, não um cronômetro estimado.
Mais: mais vibração com os flapes em movimento.
Menos: cursos de flape mais discretos.
Por que aqui: Sets texture from observed flap movement; a command without movement does not establish the cue.
Autopilot follow
AP follow authority10%
Quanto os comandos do piloto automático podem mover fisicamente o manche. Mantido minúsculo no MSFS, onde um eixo movido pode ser lido de volta como entrada do piloto; zero desativa o seguimento por completo.
Mais: o piloto automático move seu manche visivelmente mais.
Menos: um seguimento quase imperceptível.
Por que aqui: Sets admitted AP-follow gain, not a percentage of travel. Runtime ownership and input limits still apply.
