Why do you call the A2A Aerostar 600 a "vanity project"? As far as I am aware, A2A have modelled planes in the past that Scott Gentile actually owns and flies (the Comanche 250 being a prime example).

December 23, 20205 yr 6 hours ago, Christopher Low said: Why do you call the A2A Aerostar 600 a "vanity project"? Straight of the front page at A2A: ”The Accu-Sim Aerostar is also different in that it’s being designed largely for the purpose of training. A2A owner and developer Scott Gentile owns and operates Aerostar N122PC and wants his airplane “Accu-Simmed” for the specific purpose of becoming the safest pilot he can be.” Right, after explaining away the customers request for port overs. So, not what customers want, but what the boss wants. I’d say that at least a tad vain...
January 8, 20215 yr Soooo, when are we going to see this Waco! A radial bi plane will be great fun, if it is any good. I enjoy the Mooney much more than I thought I ever would enjoy a Carenado airplane.

I had the same aircraft for FSX and it was a joy to fly there as well.

January 8, 20215 yr Imagine two airshows near each other the same day. One has warbirds booming and zooming around golden age oldies. The other one has some Aerostars and maybe Moonies in the sky. I know which one I'm going to. And which ones I'm waiting on for MSFS. 5800X3D, RTX4070, 600 Watt, one or two 1440p 32" screens, 64 GB RAM, 4 TB PCle 3 NVMe, Warthog throttle, VKB NXT EVO stick, Honeycomb Alpha yoke, CH quad, 3 Logitech panels, 2 StreamDecks, Desktop Aviator Trim Panel.

I have enjoyed it alright, but it has tested my patience in other ways (CTDs, Scenery issues, odd aircraft behaviour)... but admittedly I am a man of short patience LOL.I agree, when people complain I am always saying it is in its infancy. I guess I am annoyed at the lack of a solid GA airplane for the Sim. Patiently waiting!
January 14, 20215 yr Just noticed that the WACO has appeared in the Marketplace.

January 14, 20215 yr Yep, it has been announced for the market place anyone tried it? On 12/16/2020 at 2:12 AM, leprechaunlive said: Surely they'll come in time. But they released 3 of them in a row, so i guess they also want to cater for the vintage guys 🙂 i think its a pretty smart move actually. Curious to know if it is actually modelled on a vintage 100 odd HP Kinner/Warner powered vintage one or have they modelled it on a new built Waco Classic YMF which has much more modern brakes and electronics and uses a modern Lycoming O-360 (presumably producing about 180 HP). The photos do look radial but I believe the 21st century ones have a cosmetic cowl that disguises the 4 cylinder Lycoming. If it is genuine vintage definitely will buy it but even if it is the modern one might get it anyway if there are no issues with it. Edited January 14, 20215 yr by Glenn Fitzpatrick

January 14, 20215 yr @sd_flyer Before MSFS it was the ONLY Carenado (Alabeo) product I flew... just magnificent over Maho. Do give us your initial impressions... we are WEAK creatures 🙂 C Best- Carl Avari-Cooper

January 14, 20215 yr I may just have to step up and provide a review myself lol, that big radial really intrigues me. I do notice it is cheaper than the Seminole or Mooney... I wonder if that relates to quality. Edited January 14, 20215 yr by jpe828
