Shares the same autopilot as the Cherokee. I believe thats a "hands on" unit so a bit of work and maintenance needed there

The Cherokee is my favorite so far. I'll get the Comanche immediately.

I would also recommend the C182 over the C172.

 

Somehow, the a2a C172 did not turn out as well as either the Cherokee or C182 IMHO..

On what basis Bert?

To me,  the controls never felt right,  and the airplane lacks the personality that both

the Cherokee and C182 offer.

 

Maybe that is true to life, but I have uninstalled my copy.

It is true to life - the 172 has all the character of a whitewashed wall, but that's how it has become the best selling aircraft in history. But agree with Bert, once you have the 182, the 172 gets parked in the hangar. It's not its fault, nor A2A's ! 

The 172 was my first A2A aircraft  purchase, and while I was initially very taken with the A2A feature set, the more I flew it, the more wrong it felt, at least on my setup, and from my admittedly limited real world experience with the plane - but I took another chance on the their 182, and I am quite pleased with it (YMMV), though I am more of a RealAir fan, truth be told...

This exactly

 

I've got a little 172 time but mostly Cherokee time

Interesting - I was just considering this as I'm in 172s again. Good heads up.

Andrew don't let me and Bert dissuade you though hehe... A2A is a good company - worth supporting.

The 'blandness' of the 172 is a real life thing, not A2A. I have about 200hrs in Skyhawks, I actually preferred the older generation 172s with funky beat up interiors, they had character tho.  Cessna's new line (Piper's too) all have a sterile feel to them.  THat being said, some talented painters have created some wonderful vintage interiors for both the A2A C172 C182.  

 

This Comanche is going to be tops tho, so many beautiful 50s-60s schemes to be painted, I know I have said it alot, but it really does have the feel of sitting in a vintage muscle car.

Oh, their stuff looks awesome for sure. I just tend to buy what I fly...

 

As long as it flies fairly close to RW, it's fine... two RW 172s aren't going to fly exactly the same, either...

 

[but I fly a Warrior more... ]

You can have mine - not sure if it is though

A2A updater would find another isp/pc pretty fast though.

I wish they'd do the 400hp version!!!

Indeed! Compare that to another certain developer with a Cessna 406 in the works, of which the modelling seems well underway. And then they post on their Facebookpage if anyone knows someone with access to a 406... :rolleyes:

I wish them luck with that been around avation my entire life and have never even heard of the 406.
