COWS Previews DA-40XLS for MSFS

COWS recently previewed its upcoming aircraft on their YouTube channel – the DA40-XLS. This marks the second aircraft they have developed, after the DA42.

The Austrian single-engine light aircraft is one of the most popular trainer aircraft, with over 2,200 DA40s produced. Based on the also successful DA20, Diamond Aircraft Industries designed a four-seat prototype, named DA40 Diamond Star. 

The COWS DA40 is based on the XLS version. Considered as a “deluxe” version, it features a G1000 glass cockpit with WAAS (Wide Area Augmentation System) capability, Garmin GDL69 datalink, and a TAS traffic alert system. 

Their rendition will feature custom-designed systems with interactive circuit breakers, EIS, and custom cylinder simulation. While the price and the release date for X-Plane 12 are still undisclosed, the developers have mentioned that they are targeting the release of FS20 and FS24 in early 2025. 

As always, Threshold will keep you updated with any news and updates about the COWS DA40-XLS!
