You may not be aware of this, but Diamond never made a new-build 100 hp Katana. ALL 100-horse Katana's are factory-rebuilt refurbished and re-engined examples of the original 80-horse example.
Therefore the factory literature almost always details the 80hp example. IIRC a Supplemental, rather than separate, Type Approval certificate was issued for the DA20-100.
Perhaps this also explains things as I recall the manual of the examples I flew as being a `mish-mash` of 80- and 100- ?
Well i think you better go and read your books because according to wiki the Katana came out as the DA20-A1 Katana this was launched with the faithful 80 hp Rotax 912 engine
Right heres the interesting bit
It was also launched as a DA20-100 Katana it had the 100 HP rotax912s engine on board
so i think home work in order and if your really stuck heres the link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamond_DA20
all the best

I seem to be experiencing the same problem every time I use the Katana so far, namely that after a while (guessing 10-15 mins) I lose functionality of: Artifical horizon, GPS screen goes blank (but seems to have power), no longer able to transmit/receive on the radio and flaps become inoperative. It's almost as if these systems are no longer receiving power, but I do have the battery/gen switches ON and the volts remain within the green band on. After landing each time I have checked through the systems and have experiencd to reports of problems and I am also unable to restart the engines after having shut down. The only way I can return things to normal is to reload the aircraft in FSX.
I installed the package by right-clicking the install icon as selecting the administrator option, no problems experienced during installation. The installation was the default for the package.
All requests to allow gauges etc. to be allowed were done so in FSX during the intial use of the aircraft.
The aircraft was loaded from the menu system before launching into the game environment.
I performed the pre flight checks and dealt with any issues prior to starting-up and flying.
Other add-ons include Orbx Scenery, Ultimate Traffic 2, REX (including the weather engine), FSPassengers (not used at the time), EzDok and TrackIR 5.
Any suggestions as to what I am either doing wrong or what the problem(s) may be and preferably how to get this issue resolved.
Actually, I have just had a thought - I seem to remember having a very similar issue with the DO-27 with regards to the apparent loss of power (battery appears to be drained) very much as if the geneator is not actually working.
I hope this issue can be resolved as this is looking to be a very promiosing package. Any help very much appreciated.
Hi there
just a question if you open the workshop tab are any of the icons as in parts of the aircraft an orange colour when these issues occur?

I cannot get the ASI, Altimeter, or VSI to function. I did the complete pre-flight walk-around, and removed all flags and tie-towns, and even cleaned the aircraft, but to no avail. I even did an inspection, and nothing cropped up as being faulty. What am I doing wrong. i also have the same thing with the engine lurching to a halt, and the towbar spped problem.
Craig.
Hi Craig,
I have had issues with most of these that you have had i personally after finding these issues completely rebooted my pc and all but the towbar speed issue was resolved. I am running win 7 64bit and i must say after the reboot i was in awe of this little plane and ive tested a few . Mathijs if you need help on the towbar speed issues then
contact me but just one question will there be a paint kit released?
Good work guys love it

Thats fine but when some of us where promised houses and we offered good money for them because of being board members and where told yeah you can have 1 then it never materiealising . Any how when any board member or exboard member puts a bid in for a house and then gets told you cant have 1 that to me is favoritism and unfair i think everybody must be made to pay for them how has them and everybody regards as to weather you hate them or love them or even what position they hold should be inmaterial everybody should have an equal chance of owning a house or plot with out political interferance. You dont buy a new house in real life and ask the prime minister if you can have it do you well it appears to have happened here in the past.

Hi Matt may i ask a question are you running some kind of weather engine rex or something simlar?
the reason for this question is that squarkwin pulls the weather from the internet and sets it accordingly if you run another weather engine it may be conflicting it is advised to switch off weather engines and let squarkwin do the weather for you .
hope this helps
regards
Craig

@Ole, I tried again with the new client and was unable to connect. Probably I do need to open the three ports, but that is just not possible for me to do.
I need a secure environment to work in and I can not allow a client for a game to jeapordize the security of all machines in my network. It is this excact same reason that stopped me using gamespy.
So I will just enjoy the community off line and be active in the forums.
Ps.: I think the drop in framerates was due to both ASX and squawkwin trying to control the weather. Disabling one or the other seemed to cure the problem - although I did not do proper testing due to the connection problem.
So: last post concerning this issue from me. In my unique situation Squawkwin is not working, in other situations it is probably doing a fine job.
That's life.
Ok sorry been away guys right heres my 2 pence worth lol,
Kasper please come and find me on teamspeak i will try and do my up most to help you in ts i am just username Craig with an sa after it i cant be there 24/7 but i will try as hard as i can to be around to help .
With reading the forum about the online server debates i would like to put the view in like this and see if you agree.
As we have said people fly Vatsim Ivao etc people will always fly them and thats no bad thing but why should the big players in online servers have everything going thats not fair in my opinion.
The reason as already be said is because VAE is simple its a community which dont just host Andras Field there are virtual airlines there and flyins planned for the future they really make you feel at home and nothing is to hard work to help people .VAE is that approachable that its like asking your partner to dinner it really is.
The other reason that i can see is we do have a growing community of simmers who have either been badly treated online experienced the rough end of gamespy or simply are a bit scared as i think most of us where about the whole online flying thing. Well we are in the process of making the events forum into a joint events and online forum any issues can be posted in there and i will deal with them as i have before but also i will be posting like a dummies guide to online flying there which there is 1 out there already i did bet you didnt see it !! This is to help people come and try online flying again in a safe no hassle environment to help the community grow and thats what we believe VAE provides a safe no lots of procedures fun place to realise the true magic we all know as online flying. When i get the go ahead in the forum we will get it running ok
best wishes
Craig

Gentlemen
I have moved this post into the closed area, and I have a few comments.
Craig. Please maintain a very civil tone when adressing others in the public forum.
Vaff. Thanks for putting your TS server up as backup - however you should have asked one of the guys at VAE - Craig is the obvious one, about the nature of the problem. They could have told you what Craigh now posted instead. I have never seen TS down, and I have actually happened, accidently, to witness the VAE gues deal with a hacking attempt - and I was impressed with the swiftness and professionalism they put into it.
And putting up different solutions to online servers, and online communication, will only confuse a majority of people who are unsure of how to engage in this online adventure that Andras Field is starting up. I see many posts from people who feel very very uncertain about the whole thing - for whom online flying is a first. We want to keep things as simple as we possible can.
So lets keep the fact that VAE stands for all official handling of online services in Andras Field. This be both the online server and the communications part via Teamspeak. Noone can prevent people from using their own solutions, VATSIM, IVAO, private TS servers, and FSX native online services, but not in these forums - again, this is to prevent unsure newcomers from thinking this is much too overwhelming, and leave.
Thanks.
my appologies

Hi!
Just downloaded Andras. Nice! Trying for the fisrt time to connect to Teamspeak but can't find the adress to Andras community. Could anyone please help a beginner with a short how to do?
Bsve1
Yep please go to www.virtual-aviation.org register as this is our online partner and then once you become registered click on server info tab at the top click the teamspeak tab and all the info is there for you

Craig

With all due respect Fredrik this is not your concern as online manager it is my job and i can assure you that VAE only goes down for a few mins then the back up server for teamspeak kicks in we have multiple back up so this reall isnt nessicery

Hey Gang,
Just to confirm, the aerobatic event is scheduled for this saturday 14th Aug, from 7-10 European time, 6-9 UK time.
You can do one of three things:-
1) Just turn up, watch, have some fun and fly some circuits if you want after the competition
2) Be a competitor. Feel free to fly a plane of your choice and do some aerobatics over Andras Field and be judged as part of the competition. Entrants, please could you register by putting your name here in this thread
3) Do aerobatics but ask not to be judged on them, if you do not want to be an official contestant.
Again, I stress this is open to everyone, no obligation to fly. Free entry to the server. It is all very friendly and informal! Everyone is welcome!
The aerobatics competition will be judged by a couple of judges to be confirmed (not me, as I am going to be helping out on the ground). Craig Hobson, our online Manager is a confirmed judge at this time.
Now for the exciting part, the winner will receive, a free download copy of the newly released Addictive Sims Pitts Special (it received the Avsim gold star and was rated alongside PMDG and RealAir for quality). As the winner you will receive this aircraft absolutely free for both FS2004 and FSX!
See you Saturday!
Fantastic yep it will be good and yes expect the online manager to really show you how not to do it lol just kidding . May i make a surgestion that all competitors login to the server and taxi over to the military compound thats the hanger area oppersite the apron the other side of the runway and spectators login and stay put on the aprons this way we dont have to fight through the traffic to get the competitors airborne as it will take some coordination
well just a thought

Darem just a thought why not send vae an email asking to be affiliated then your airline is on the official server for andras field makes sense just a thought

Welcome to my a Dummies guide to online flying,
Yes designed as is the series of books,it my way of helping you members of Andras Field to take the plunge and go and join us online. It really isnt that scary unfortunatly i am at the moment not going to talk about how we connect as we can do that as we go along and myself and a very dedicated management team at Vae will help you and hold your hand in the set up proccess until you are ok with using the software.
This guide will give you the do's and dont's we expect whilst flying online at Andras Field and also on the server these rules aren't set in stone but we would like people to use them as it will make everybodies online experience easy and fun and hopfully will stop any problems. It is also designed to show newbies to online flying that it really isnt that scary and help you realise exactly what you are missing out on.
ok here are the Do's
Teamspeak
we run teamspeak 2 client set up guide on the vae website, We use ts for radio contact and also meeting new members and generally having a good time you dont have it get it you are so missing out on a great community AF enhances that so dont be on your own login and talk to people .
There are several rooms in ts three main ones for this guide are Andras Field Unicom , Long haul and enroute these are for now the unicom channels if you are in or around Andras Field then you should be in the Andras Field Unicom room. for general chit chat then thats what the relaxation room is for.
Unicom room how to use
Ok so your logged into the server and you notice theres people flying next open up ts and go to the andras field unicom channel in there this bit is VERY IMPORTANT tell andras field pilots what your intentions are so like this we are at the ramp and want to taxi to rw 27 we say it like this Andras Field traffic type (say your aircraft) cessna G-CJVA ( you must say your tail number) taxiing and holding short rw 27 .
Yes it really is that easy so fully for me it would be Andras Field traffic type cessna 172 G-CJVA taxying and holding short rw27 anounce all movements if a plane announces on finals and your holding short please wait for them please every movement announce with your tail number not your username when its busy its easier.
really is that easy.
If you are along way from andras field then use the other unicom the same as explained.
on the server
ok please make sure that you spawn on a gate or ramp not a runway its really off putting when on short finals to see a plane pop up in my 747 that would cause me to go around so please take notice of this
How easy is that so come on what you scared of!!
ok now for the Dont's
dont spawn on runways it doesnt happen in real world so it shouldn't happen in flight sim
dont talk all over each other in unicom if its busy then please wait your turn to speak you wont be held up for may more mins by the time you do your runups it will be your turn.
ok thats it the main emfassis on online is have FUN and really you people who havent plucked up the courage to go online then you really are missing out on a great community . I have brought people online and now they have realised how much more fun it is to talk to people and enjoy flying together there really is nothing to be scared of.
If you are a little mic shy then pleas spawn at a gate online and sit and listen until you feel happy about having a go thats how i learnt many years ago
p.s noone will shout at you if you mess the calls up
ok that raps up the do's and dont's so what you waiting for!!
regards
Craig

and don't forget the Addictive Simulations Pitts, which has just been reviewed by Avsim in the last week or so as one of the best ever aircraft in FS!
www.addictive.it/pitts
Of which i have been given the task of showing it to you via preccomp display
isnt that right Jane

Yep Ole is right they are all seperate servers to be a member of 1 doesnt mean you have to be a member of all servers if you dont want to be
