LHC Diamond DA40 Released

BUG ALERTand fix....

Hey all,

I have discovered a bug, I am sorry to say.

I found that a missing file entry in the panel config file will cause sound not to work 'if' you do not have any of the latest LHC planes. People who download the Diamond as their first plane from LHC will have no cool interior sound effects and click sounds.

The fix is easy. A new panel config, dropped into your Diamonds 'panel' folder and Voila, 'crickie crickie' sounds....

Download the fix file here;


Sorry about that. I massively hate bugs.

The Diamond is being modified and will now be Build 1.01 with the fix carried out in it. Files will be dispersed to all vendors in the next 2 days.

Bill, this is just an FYI.

I downloaded and installed the 1.01 version from Flight1.
Install went fine, but when I selected the DA40 from the FSX aircraft menu, I got an never ending batch of error messages like I posted below, for each sound.

I went back to version 1.00, and everything is working fine, again, (as I already had your other aircraft installed, anyway). ;)

Well, I found the second bug, which I created when I fixed the first bug. So now both bugs are dead.

A new Panel.cfg file was created, the link to it is still good. The sound library on the Diamond was also improved and some mods to small files touched up so if you get a chance, please redownload it.

Sorry about that.

Looks awesome!

I am a huge fan of Diamond aircraft. Still remember my first flight in a brand spankin' new Katana back when they first came out. :)

Question, and not to nitpick, but is it just me or is the spinner a little too large?

Hello Ark,

We created the model from drawings. I had thought that myself and reduced the spinner a tad, 50% into the project. I then thought the panel was too tall and went into photos, put up photos semi transparent in Gmax and found the panel was dead on also. (If you look at photos of the height of the instrument panels in side views outside the plane, it goes 2/3rds to the cieling of the plane, very very high. Looks impossible to see over, but its not. Its in line with the pilots eyesight).

If you think it looks out of proportion and will always bother you, I highly suggest just getting one from another vendor that you feel looks right to you. Iris has a great XLS also. And... Its presently on sale at PCAviator on their weekly sale program. A very good deal and their glass panel system is awesome.

Nah, yours looks awesome. I'm sure you are correct about the proportions.
