Thank You Alan for the great news,but I'm a little out of touch,What is "PFPX?

Thank You 

 

PFPX = Professional Flight Planner X - an ultimate all-in-one (or nearly so) package for tubeliners from the developers of TOPCAT.  Long anticipated - maybe longer than the T7.  More here. 

 

 

Video 1 of 3 posted by A2A team.

 

I have to say I'm floored by the video... and I thought I had at least a rough idea what to expect. 

Saw title and said, its a silly 172, what'd they make that for.

 

After watching video, rather impressed.

 

Nice additions. At first thought some seem a bit frivolous to simply fly from A to B. But many out there like procedures and this certainly gets one more involved with that.

Cheers Alan,Thank You.

A2A and "frivolous" really should not be in the same sentence..

 

Sorry to sound petulant but they make the most feature rich, realistic and accurate (non-modern tubeliner) aircraft in existence for FSX

Where's the video?

I'm glad to see they included a engine heater... This was a huge problem for me in northern MN with their Civ mustang.

Scott's a master salesman. I don't even like warbirds, but his promo vids for the P-51 got me so pumped it was an instant buy! lol With this Cessna its no different, Im actually more excited about it now than the T7 from watching the vid. Just brillant!

Can't wait for this one! Should be fantasia, ashamed to say its my first A2A product.

That's fantastic not fantasia. Wish I knew how to edit in this new tapatalk update.

WOW!

 

I'm blown away by the detail. It's SO realistic. I had "zero" desire to get a 172. I have too many hours in a real 172SP.

 

Now, after watching the video, I can't wait for it to be released.

 

Thanks A2A!

Because I have the pmdg 737 and CS 707 so now and because of this video Im purchasing the 172 before the T777

 

This will be a dream with a map and VFR over ORBX, cant wait!

A2A's cranky engines are awesome.  It is great to finally have realistically starting engines in FSX...not the silly click the starter button once routine.  It is hard enough to get a big V-12 or Radial to start when it doesn't want to, but even an IO-360 can be cranky, especially a warm engine on a warm day at a high elevation airport.  Fuel injected engines will crank and crank and crank and crank, and eventually start, don't give it too much fuel otherwise it will flood and you will crank forever LOL.   I assume it will also have the realistic procedure for FI engines of starting with the mixture at cutoff, once engine fires, then mixture to rich.

 

Cheers

I always love Scott's videos.

how about the bit where the 172 will continue in real time whilst your computer is TURNED OFF. So if you turned on the battery and you turn off the pc for longer than the charge available it will be flat on start up!

As amazing as this looks (and as big an A2A fan as I am)... I feel like I ought to give a head-nod to Marcel Felde for the Aerosoft/4X Katana, which for the past three years has offered GA fliers walkarounds, wear and tear, maintenance requirements and ownership decisions like oil grade.  The A2A 172 looks more detailed and more refined - not surprising in view of the fact that it's more recent, it's the creation of a bigger development team and, let's face it, it has that A2A touch... but some credit ought to go to Marcel for an earlier (and quite good) point of entry into a similar experience.  And he's a one-man shop, which counts for something.

 

With that out of the way, I've got to go pour chemical foam into my wallet to put out the credit card-related fire that started there this afternoon when the first A2A Skyhawk video went up...

Tell me about it.  I've got a hangar full of A2A Accu-Sim fighters thanks to the June sale, and I don't even like flying warbirds.  It's been a tremendous educational experience and I'm still convinced that all three of them, in different ways, are trying to kill me.

 

Now the Cub has been an ongoing love affair, and the same goes for the B-17 (it's a nice stable stately thing).  Looks like the 172 is going to be the next member of my regular, non-homicidal fleet.
