Description

Note: The FS20 file system is very fragile. Mods can interfere with each other very easily. Please double, triple check your community folder before posting. 99% of problems have been fixed simply by removing some other old mod. Please delete the whole DA40NGX folder before updating.

This mod aims to improve the default DA40 in as many aspects as possible.
