A2A Comanche has been released!

Dropped the hammer on seeing this thread.. WELL WORTH IT TO ALL!!! Outstanding product A2A, once again a Home Run!

Now, please bring in the T-6... 🙏

From what I have seen looks a fantastic product.

Great plane. As it currently stands, no way to use it with OnAir, FSEconomy or similar tools, unfortunately.

AH2, APLch2 do not register engine start. I suspect NF4 will not either. Basically my understanding because accusim module run outside there is no MSFS variable that trigger engine start signal for those apps. Anyone knows for around? Perhaps some default key combination?

Very happy to read all the positive reviews of this first A2A aircraft for MSFS. But the Comanche just isn't my cup of tea so I'll add my voice to those clamouring for the C172 next.

And, the interface to associate those profiles with the various aircraft is not practical at all... You change plane and have to go to the CONTROLS menu and manually choose, for each of the controllers, the correct profile 😕

Would be great if they could adopt XP12's controller menu associations where you can create various profiles like in MFS and then associate them with each of the aircraft they belong to and then whenever you pull the aircraft the profiles will come with it ...

SonicViz Aircraft Manager can handle the profiles part.  I can select a controls profile for an airplane and once I do that, it always loads that profile when the airplane is loaded.   This is off-topic as to the Comanche, but I thought I'd give you a heads up.

Why not?

Essential functions modeled outside of the sim. The Apps don’t detect the engine start.
 

Perhaps someone finds a workaround soon.

Read my post above. I believe because A2A uses accusim third party tracking  apps don't register engine start and so can't track the flight. Saying this, I have tested Air Hauler and Pilot's Life ch2. Unfortunately. both don't register engine start. However, they can track movement of Piper, but useless because flight can neve be initiated

Yep. There will be a solution soon. It's just like GSX when GSX was released. There were a lot of issues. But over time, solutions were found, and GSX itself improved to handle stuff it couldn't when it was released. Just report this to the A2A folks in the A2A forum and I'm sure they'll start thinking of a solution for this soon.

I was thinking prior to the release of the Comanche, I probably wouldn't purchase it, because I had flown the Comanche in P3D for years, so I would be seeing nothing new. I just watched the Dream of Wings YouTube review of it, and saw that many features were added that were not in the P3D version, so I am going to buy it when I get home. Looks like a blast to fly. 

[abrams_tank 7,425]

Heh, A2A website can't deal with the traffic (I got this pic from the MSFS Discord channel😞

I'm gonna guess that A2A will make a lot of money from the Comanche.

I can see A2A prioritizing MSFS for the next several years. Once they make that sweet MSFS money, they always come back  🤣🤣🤣.

It's amazing how we can feel the weight of this aircraft, I'm loving it. The elevator trim is a little too sensitive though. Well done guys!

There are trim sensitivity sliders in the tablet Controls / Advanced Options.

Weight and balance is almost everything to an airplane and is a large part of this aerodynamics engine.

And would you look at that, the beautiful yet simple simulation of putting on a headset to mute the sounds that I've missed from P3D. My God a lot of addon plane makers need to take notice.

This plane really looks great. They seem to have done a great job with many details.
