CONFIGURATION

DA20-100 ‘Katana’ 4X Manual

Global texture resolution

should be set to

Very high

to get

sharp and detailled textures,
especially in the virtual cockpit.

Advanced animations

need to

be enabled for skin animations
and special effects.

Enable automixture

has to be

untagged as the Katana features
a carburetor simulation.

Many systems of the

Diamond DA20-100 ‘Katana’ 4x

were implemented

beyond the possibilities of FSX. So there are some keyboard shortcuts that
won’t work on the Katana. For example CTRL+E for autostarting the engine
or SHIFT+M to turn on battery power.
