LHC- Diamond DA-40

I bought this airplane a while back in a pack from PC Aviator. http://www.pcaviator.com/store/product.php?productid=19990&cat=0&page=1

It is a great package from a designer who's models (freeware and payware) have brought me a lot of enjoyment. It usually lists for $62.47, but sometimes, you can catch it on the 50% off sale at PC Aviator like I did. So I got those planes for $32.97, and used that as justification to also get

LHC CLASSIC ULTRA PACK
"This is a complete package of 4 professional, high resolution, extreme detail addon aircraft packages from the Golden Age of American Aviation History. 1.)Pasped Skylark from the 1930's, 2 seat sport aircraft featuring STOL performance. 2.)Fairchild 24R and 24W Variants with float plane versions, radial and inline Ranger engines. 3.)Piper Super Pacer 4 Pack featuring; Taildragger original, Bush, Float and Tri-Pacer Variants. 4.)Wittman Tailwind Mini Homebuilt featuring 3 versions; WT-8, WT-10, and Tri-Cycle WT-10 Variants"

regularly $49.97 for $24.97, so for the price of two payware planes, you get nine planes, I think 16 models, and none of em suck. Check it out.

Anyways, here's the DA40. I like this aircraft for a daily driver. Its reasonably fast, has great visibility, great fuel burn and is a great GA airplane for FSX.

Screens shot at Josef "Joey" Rotter's "Joe's Outpost" Scenery, which is available at a lot of freeware sites, but I don't think here at SimV. It also has lots of IS3 added objects by yours truly to turn it into a busier farm/granary/mill/orchard/ranch/marina/fishery/campground/cabins/FBO with an A&P on duty. I mean who doesn't want a place like that? ONce again, I should've taken the thermals out for the screens, but I didn't. I'll post some more screens from the other LHC planes in the coming days.

Turn around, taxi out to the threshold for runups and t/o checklist

Everything is in the green and I went ahead and entered the runway heading and a 2000' bug in the AP

Same shot, but zoomed all the way out so you can see more of the VC

Add power, line up as I roll on, add more power, and she comes right off

Climb out to bug. Uncouple AP heading to hand fly heading.

Once I hit the bug and didn't need the climb power I pulled her back to 25/25 and she'll do 140-145kts true on 90PPH. Not too shabby.

Taking back the last notch of flaps so she'll settle. Full flaps she wants to float a little with just one occupant.
