You have to carrie mantance out before or after flight if needed. There Accusim aircraft just "feel" more like a "real" aircraft. They also need to me used right or they will blow up, cut out etc. As long as you use the aircraft as you should it does not do a lot but its there to bite you if you use it like a toy. I still remember that one day I ignored the engine running a little rough in my Comanche. I thought I had drained the fuel tanks and refilled them to get rid of water, but apparently not. On takeoff the engine cut out, I tried to restart the engine, and the impossible turn turned out to be impossible. I totalled my 2400 hour Comanche that day, decided to park it, and then I bought the A2A C182 with zero hours. Accusim is a completely immersive experience. ... Can barely wait to get a "fresh start" in the Comanche. Love that aircraft.

November 17, 20214 yr This is one of the best news we received lately, especially if you are a GA fan. A2A cant do bad planes. We are on a very good take off for 2022.

November 17, 20214 yr That's great. I wonder if that breakthorugh came from Asobo updating the SDK or from A2A finding a workaround. For transparency: I'm a community mentor at the BATC discord. However, I do not get paid for it in any way.

No, the reason I decided to park it after the crash was that I felt like I had failed, and it would be weird flying it again. It might sound strange, but the various parameters of the AccuSim experience really creates a unique aircraft. It changes with how you fly it, maintain it and so on. Mine had 2400 hours or so, and it flew differently than a brand spanking new one. So due to the uniqueness of it, I felt like I should park it and buy a new plane. Which I did. 😄 I would also only fly my A2A planes from the last airport I flew into. But now I'm really looking forward to the new Comanche for MSFS. It will be awesome.

Also, I suspect that they will bring, later on, a turboprop or a jet. A couple of years ago, they hinted about having worked on the Texan 2 and the T38 for the military. To which extent, it was not clear. They definitely have their T38 and TEX2 working with DoD (military here). | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |

I went through kinda the same thing and ended up purchasing a total of 3 copies of the Commanche 250 after crashing the original and then the two replacements. I couldn't afford to keep flying it until a friend helped clarify the EULA to me. "That's what" - She

I'd really like to know what a) the roadblock was, and b) what they did to solve it I thought about posting that question in the A2A thread over there but it's likely SG will post back and say they can't say... 😄 And now I think of the song/video for "Say Say Say" by Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson.
