O Great Diamond Star, you are missing to me... 

I really like what is happening to you at 12:59, as it happened to me as well. I was too optimist on my first flight with her and went full forward too fast. This bad girl had way more torque than any other flying tin cans I ever flew before and she went left immediately at the time I released the brakes! Fat and impulsive, but joyful once in cruise.

She also was pretty particular for the fact that she had a precise max landing mass, about 1090 kg if I'm remembering well, while her max take-off mass was about 60 kg more. Funny in case of an emergency return right after departure.

Alas, I don't know anything about the use of the G1000, our whole fleet was still configured with a majority of analogical instruments (excepted the engine's ones)

 

Have you tried an add-on to fly on the NG variant?  To me her 170 hp turbo-diesel was much better to fly with than the 180 hp O-360.

 

Edit:

About your speed questions on the Steam page, the rotation was somewhat universal, at 59 kt, and V2 at 60 kt (under 1000 kg) or 66 kt (at MTOW).

Alas, there is no universal V1 speed as you have to determine it yourself, based on the runway length available at the field, local weather, take-off mass, performances and configuration of your aircraft.

Landing speed also was depending of the mass, and flaps configuration, but here are some data available in my flight manual: 

     - 71 kt at the MLW

     - 67 kt (1092 kg, theoretically the max mass the gears will support during a landing, but it was still more than possible to land at a higher mass, simply by making a good flare and soft touching)

     - 63 kt (1000 kg)

     - 58 kt (850 kg)

In any case, it was still better to consider your approach around 65 kt if under 1000 kg, just for a bit more safety in case of high wind bursts.

Also, she was a bit heavy and not such a good glider despite her high wingspan, so to touch smoothly the best was to keep the throttle at 15% at the time of the flare, then to lover it once you touched the runway.

 

 

Edit 2:

If your are interested I could send you the official flight manual of the DA40NG. It's a 2010 version, but you will find all the data you are looking for easily.

I also have the one for the DA40-180 with the gas-oil engine, but it's a French edited version (still, all the abbreviations and "codes" are universal)

The glass displays have it's own GPS. Something I found on youtube : (go to the start of video for the whole introduction, I thought you only had problems with operating the NAV/GPS plans)

also, FSW looks slow on the controls XD

you see that the intro scrren has an arrow in it pointing at a boutton.press that boutton and it should turn on
