Mathijs Kok has posted the feature list to the upcoming Diamond DA20-100 'Katana' 4X in the Aerosoft Forums.
Realistic
- Wear and damage can encounter and will be stored. Fluids will be used and the aircraft can get dirty. Maintenance and services are available. Flight hours and landings will be counted and special features unlocked.
Simple
- No wear and damage will be simulated. Aircraft stays clean. Flight hours and landings are not locked. No special features.
Instructor
