February 14, 201313 yr Hey guys, spotted on A2A's facebook page! Looking great A2A! Now guessing on the model lol. It is not an N...the landing lights are on the wing. Could be a P or Q (depending on engine), but looking at the door latch looks like a newer generation model such as an R or S. Older 172s had the old square latch Newer models have the longer retangular latch If we could get a screenshot of the under wing area, you can tell by the number of fuel sump points by the door. Old models just had the single fuel sump point per wing, new models have 5 sump points per wing if I recall.

February 14, 201313 yr My first thought was, "Who cares about a picture of the real airplane? Show us what the A2A version looks like!" Then, "Oh my...." I am SO ready for this one. Hook Larry Hookins Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of EarthAnd danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
February 14, 201313 yr Have to be honest, that looks like a render to me from an external program. Not to say it won't be nice looking, but perhaps not that nice (as the picture) looking once it gets in FSX. Eric Szczesniak
February 15, 201313 yr that looks like a render to me from an external program It may well be, considering it's the maintenance hangar. As long as the external views look good in screen shots, I'm happy, and there's no reason to think they won't. Hook Larry Hookins Oh!

February 15, 201313 yr Can't wait! Will be a great craft to fly over FTX Global in. Simmerhead - Making the virtual skies unsafe since 1987!
February 15, 201313 yr Considering the info above and the wheel covers used, I am willing to guess that A2A is going all out and making it a G1000 version, knowing A2A's FDE accuracy and attention to detail and graphics that easily match Carenado's best work, we can expect this 172 to be the NGX of the Flight Sim community.
February 15, 201313 yr Oh please no, not a G1000... Simmerhead - Making the virtual skies unsafe since 1987!
February 15, 201313 yr I'm hoping for steam gauges myself. Hook Larry Hookins Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of EarthAnd danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
February 15, 201313 yr +1 more for steam. Won't buy it if it's glass. i7 [email protected] | 32GB RAM | EVGA RTX 3080Ti | Maximus Hero VII | 512GB 860 Pro | 512GB 850 Pro | 256GB 840 Pro | 2TB 860 QVO | 1TB 870 EVO | Seagate 3TB Cloud | EVGA 1000 GQ | Win10 Pro | EK Custom water cooling.
February 15, 201313 yr Commercial Member I hope it's not a G1000! Though I am also waiting on the RealAir 172... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD Regards, Efrain RuizLiveDISPATCH @ http://www.livedispatch.org (CLOSED) ☹️
February 15, 201313 yr Author My guess is they would go with steam...that way they can pretty much use gauges they have already built, and easier crossover to their other GA projects...less development time, tho being a 'next gen' 172, it would give them a platform to try the G1000 later if they chose.
