Sadly, no mention of adding the VR setting like in the Comanche!

Do you mean the setting in the EFB? It's not needed, it's switching automatically now.

Yes under the Advanced Options in the Aerostar App on the EFB. It’s not the switching that’s the issue. It’s the plane buffeting that you clearly see in 2D, but not in VR. With the VR setting selected in the Comanche, you clearly see the plane buffeting in VR. It’s a major factor of immersion for the Comanch. It’s also present in the Aerostar in 2D, just not in VR. You don’t see buffeting while in VR. I would like to know why the feature wasn’t included.

i’m also wondering for a higher fidelity plane that can fly at higher altitudes why cabin pressurization controls weren’t added.

I'll note it down for checking, nobody reported that before.

Scott's Aerostar 600A was an unpressurized airframe (like all early Aerostars), so there are no pressurization controls.

Thank you for clarifying! Much appreciated! I love the plane. I had seen pictures of an Aerostar with the pressurization controls so was curious. Looking forward to your next plane!

I wonder why you asked? I can't remember A2A ever didn't model something that was in original counterpart!

A few of us were hoping for a 702P version...  the really fast variant with boots and pressurization.

Keywords really fast haha

I clearly stated why I asked. You assume I have owned and flown every product they have developed. My only experience with them is in MSFS so that would only be the Comanche. Honestly, not even sure why you posted this comment.

If anyone wants to play with the new Collins ANS-351 RNAV unit it's only installed if you use a single height GPS (KLN-90 or GNS430 as you can't seem to fit a GTN650/650XI without the corresponding 750) and while the principle is the same as the Bendix King KNS-80/81 seen in the Black Square Aircraft it's operation is quite different. (See pages 28-31 in the updated manual for the details)

Once you get it working though like previous versions it is very cool and integrates properly with the HSI, Flight Director and Autopilot.

I welcome their decision regarding a version for 2020 platform, it will be a day one purchase for me even if they release it early access like they did for 2024 version. A2A has never disappointed me with their product quality - top notch as always!

Basically it's modeled after Scott's airplane. Have you been following A2A a long time? There are videos of his Aerostar

And antiice boots retrofit

It will work with any single GPS unit but not dual GPS configurations, as it requires Collins VOR on the panel.

I'd love a couple of G5 units, PFI and HSI...

Ditto

I bought the Aerostar today.

I hope I won't be beaten with virtual sticks but for me, it's not a patch on the overall magic of the Comanche.  The textures look too sterile for my preferences and the sounds don't raise the hairs on my back like the Comanche does.   I also have audio drop outs every time I move to the external view (just for a second - like a 'pop').    I do appreciate it's only now at V1.0 and there may be further improvements.

One issue I found with the Century IV autopilot is that when I engage it, I get an unnatural pitch 'jerk' and pitch down moment, which is not seen with the real unit.   In the real unit, the pitch wheel 'moves' while the AP is OFF, so that it's always aligned with the aircraft's current attitude.   So when you engage AP, it's a smooth match between the current attitude and the held attitude.   There should be no pitch down or up movements when the AP is engaged.

Are others seeing this?    Maybe it's an issue on my end, as I appreciate the level of details A2A usually go to, and I'd be surprised that such an inaccuracy would be found with an AP in a A2A plane.
