The ICON A5

Featured Replies

Somebody already did. Here's the link:http://www.simviatio...m&ID=61&page=23I have not tried it.There's another one that might be more recent here:http://www.fs-freewa...-sport-aircraftAgain, I have not tried it.It might be downloadable here at AVSIM but I can't remember my file library credentials. Maybe somebody can do a search?
Thanks again. The A5 from the second link is better than the first one.An easy but fun plane to fly.

The cockpit does look like the dashboard of a car.
There's a button on the center of the yoke so you can toot your horn when passing another A5.Oh, and when banking beyond 5º the nav light on the down wing starts to blink.Chers,- jahman.

A great plane for Microsoft to include with Flight. How many people have flown one in the real world to know how accurate the Microsoft flight dynamics are?

Probably nobody. It is not yet a production aircraft. I think they are rolling off the first production aircraft near the end of this year.

Also there is no HSI / attitude indicator, no turn cordinator, and of course no IFR with this aircraft.
I discovered this last night after I flew into a fog bank... it didn't go over so well.

I predict the RL plane and the simulator will share the same fate.failure

I am sure gazillions of men think the same, me included.It is enough to read you tube and facebook comments to be sure that both will sink before borning.I agree 100%

Next up: The ICON B5 Flying Snow-Mobile!Cheers,- jahman.

+1 that thing is futuristic and ugly looking.. Just what the gamers want. A Cessna 172 (a real training aircraft for a real sim) doesnt look as cool.

Needs missiles and NOS boost.
