Do any of the GPS/AP combos allow LNAV flight that follows the magenta line in a  dog  leg flight plan ?

A2A modeled  S tec two axis autopilot.  Basically it can follow magenta line from point A to point B

Take a look here

Flying Hours have an expiry of 5 years. As most of my A2A purchases were for FSX I have a grand total of $1 reduction 😐

Each time you go to a waypoint in your flight plan, switch the AP to heading mode, set heading to DT to the next waypoint, once aligned with the course line, switch back to high track mode, rinse and repeat. .

Thank you

I was hoping for Point A to point B to point C , where A, B & C aren't in a straight line😀

Is it compatible with FSRealistic?

You don't need it, thrust me! I'm not sure how many people flew PA24 IRL but I did. A2A is the best representation of it you can get in MSFS. FS realistic is good for planes like Carenado not A2A

Just a heads up ... Don't expect much! I had S tec 30. I had one installed in 182 I used to owned (IRL) I barely used it except for very loooong crosscountries LOL

Anyone using PMS50 GTN and wanting WTT mode add this to your panel.cfg after [VCockpit09]:

 

[VCockpit10]
    size_mm=0,0
    pixel_size=0,0
    texture=$NONE
    background_color=42,42,40
    htmlgauge00=NavSystems/PMS50/PMS50_AP1.html, 0,0,0,0

[VCockpit11]
    size_mm=0,0
    pixel_size=0,0
    texture=$NONE
    background_color=42,42,40
    htmlgauge00=NavSystems/PMS50/PMS50_AP2.html, 0,0,0,0

 

Anyone who made this change can now revert it because there is now a WTT file for this aircraft available in the PMS50 site. It's better to use the external PMS50 file because the changes to the aircraft cfg files would probably get overwritten when there is a plane update and you would have to add the entries again.

What exactly does this do?

Read the manual section on he AP. It gives a good explanation of how to use it. Just a few paragraphs, nothing daunting.

Allows you to have the WTT extended features like holds, visual approaches, etc, which didn't exist with the Asobo default system before Working Title did their magic.

If you use the PMS50 GTN you should install the WTT files for all the aircraft you use it with from this page: https://pms50.com/msfs/aircrafts/  or you will be missing features.

As usual, comprehensive review by Into The Blue Simulations. Summary quotes: "Absolutely excellent ... Aircraft is something pretty special ... A cut above almost every other aircraft ... A2A have pushed the boundaries of what's possible in MSFS, really pushes forward in terms of realism"

Negatives (quotes, all fairly minor according to him) :
- # of downloads allowed from site
- livery selection limited so far
- inability to remove pilot model from aircraft, can remove copilot/passengers however
- no in-sim checklist (but tablet can be used), minor issues
- can't handle time acceleration that well with autopilot (not a major issue)

Positives (quotes) :
- texturing/visuals, labor of love
- systems depth, highly detailed and accurate, highly dynamic and organic
- gives you the closest feeling to owning/maintaining/flying aircraft without buying IRL
- handles very nicely, real joy to hand fly
- doesn't feel overly sensitive on the controls
- sounds general superb, highly comprehensive and immersive

My purchases for FSX and P3D (not FS9 though 😀) were credited to my account in bulk in 2018 after they set up their fidelity program. I redeemed them all today and got a nice discount. So there was maybe a glitch when you purchased the Comanche. Did you do it from the account ? I found the process a little confusing and had to do it twice (I get old).

I wish it was possible that A2A could provide Accu-sim modules for other aircraft.  'Oh, your Caranado flys like s"$$! .  Nevermind, you can purchase an Accusim module for it'.

They sort of did with Accu-Feel. Back in the P3D days I wouldn't fly GA without it. 

Had my first test flight last night, just a quick hop from KTNP to KAVX. Absolutely incredible, it feels so alive and the very first time in MSFS where I really felt like I had to concentrate on the landing. Planes in MSFS always tend to have this numb, safe and floaty feel but I was really paying attention here. The details, the sounds and even the little tow feature is so incredible well done. Brilliant work, A2A.
