July 23, 20232 yr I have the A2A Commanche in P3D5.4. I wonder is it worth the price to also get it in MSFS ? You who have both versions in what way is your experience different in MSFS compared to P3D5 with this plane ? Another question will it be compatible with MSFS 2024 ?
July 23, 20232 yr I'm not an expert on the model, but personally I think the MSFS Comanche flies at least as well as the P3D Comanche so combined with the improved visuals and world to fly in I think it's a no-brainer, As for MSFS 2024 we don't know enough about the new version to know exactly how a non-standard plane like the Comanche will work but the hope is that planes will work without too much effort.
July 23, 20232 yr I flew the Comanche quite a bit in P3D. The MSFS version is way better, no comparison really.

Yup... and per what A2A have already said over on their forums and updates, this is a new Accu-Sim with various enhancements over the previous incarnations (definitely not a direct port).

You who have both versions in what way is your experience different in MSFS compared to P3D5 with this plane ? Another question will it be compatible with MSFS 2024 ? For me it’s not at all about already having the same addon in another sim. a. MSFS is a quantum leap in immersion & world fidelity relative to any other sim. b. Accusim v2 is a re-write of v1, specifically improved for new tech, new computers, and the new simulator. it is, arguably, THE plane that MSFS has been waiting for, with the highest overall fidelity of anything else available. Though I have most of A2A’s lineup in P3D, I unhesitatingly bought it on day 1, and will continue to buy whatever they put out until eventually they’ve replaced all their P3D birds. basically, Accusim v2 in MSFS means I can finally (start to) move on from P3D, and even X-Plane.
July 23, 20232 yr There's something different about the feel of the MSFS Commanche. I can't compare anymore since I've deleted P3D.

July 23, 20232 yr Regardless of how good it was in P3D, planes in P3D always felt like flying a happy brick. MSFS versions feels much more direct and alive.

You who have both versions in what way is your experience different in MSFS compared to P3D5 with this plane ? Another question will it be compatible with MSFS 2024 ? 1/ I understand your point as money doesn’t grow on trees 😉. Difficult question though as I have not flown P3D for quite a while. And, of course, it depends of what you expect. I found the price reasonable for this level of quality and joy of flying her in lovely MSFS. YMMV. I’d say that it rejuvenates the experience of flying the Comanche that I flew a lot in P3Dv3. A whole new ball game. The sound suite is far better. You can hear , for instance a cylinder going rough. The feeling of flying, to be in a heavier-than-air pulling it self in the air, benefits greatly from the MSFS programming environment. The Comanche is exceptional in this department. On the other hand, the ESP P3D is… what it is. Dated. The internal combustion engine simulation is more refined. Not to be discarded as technical as there is a powerful fusional alchemy at play between the engine and FDE simulations. There is a great tablet. I find the inside cockpit day light more natural. I am aware that I am a bit vague but difficult to quantify. 2/ FS24 : as it is not out there, there is no tell. I would say that, according to what we know from the MSFS team (pinch of salt here), compatibility is highly probable and, if not, that A2A will do the necessary. Fs24 will not be released before the Summer of 2024, so you can do a couple of world tours in FS20 in waiting anyway.

As already said, MSFS2020 add-ons are likely to be compatible/easily made compatible, given what Asobo/MS has said. Additionally, Scott at A2A said this: Quote Also something we're looking forward to having is platform independence. If MSFS changes things on their end or new simulators want a Comanche, we can more easily make fixes or updates happen without having to go through the long and arduous process of deep systems and physics development.

My impression is that P3D is more unstable and gives me less performance than MSFS. But I still use it sometimes since I have some A2A planes for it (Cherokee, P40, Bonanza, T6, B17 and Comanche). Also has a lot of Orbx scenery for it. So I have not fully moved to MSFS.
