This will be an optional paid update ($14.99) for existing Comanche owners. More details will be shared in the coming days and weeks.

 

✈️ Accu-Sim Aerostar 600: Update 1.0.3 Now in Beta

 

The Aerostar 1.0.3 update is currently in beta testing and brings a substantial changelog with numerous fixes and small improvements. It also restores visible passengers (optional via the tablet) for those who want a populated cabin!

 

Some highlights from the changelog coming soon:

- Added visible passengers on all seats (note: copilot visibility is controlled through MSFS settings)

- Hydraulic failures were happening too often. Fixed.

- Tightened cabin, improved ground physics sounds

- Fixed external sound crackling when zooming the camera

- New brake squeal sounds

- New starter physics

- Updated starter sounds

 

We’ll post a release announcement once released along with the full changelog so keep your eyes peeled to our socials and website/forums.

 

Huge thanks to the community for the reports, feedback, and continued support you help shape every update. Clear skies and have a smashing weekend!

I've got the Comanche so will definitely be upgrading, looking forward to it.

Great news!  Yeah, will definitely pay the extra cash for a 2024 native version of the Comanche.

Very welcome news! 

Great! I wasn't expecting a native MSFS 2024 Comanche. Looking forward to it.

Same! This is a fun surprise.

Excellent news … looking forward to it’s release.

Fantastic news!

I will definitely get the 2024 Comanche, but I personally much prefer the separate tablet, that we have at present with the Comanche, versus the A2A tablet that is built into the MSFS EFB that we have in the Aerostar.    The A2A tablet pages are smaller and apparantly lower resolution when integrated into the MSFS EFB, compared to when presented in the (larger) A2A tablet.   Not a showstopper though!

Very pleased the GPSS module is coming!  At last, the dastardly STEC-30 will become a little more functional! 😄

Great news about the Aerostar too.   If they really have fixed the audio problems in external view this may greatly change my view of that model.

Sounds like a GREAT update for the Comanche. Happy to throw a few shekels to A2A in exchange.

Absolutely.  15 USD is like nothing nowadays.  I can barely get out of McDonald's for much less than 15, and that's just me!

Unless your currency has devalued over 50% against the dollar on the last 2 years🥲

Whether you live in one of those countries where even those fifteen dollars is equivalent to two weeks' wages, at Avsim we always forget that there are many different realities 🙂

As we're on the subject, $14.99 is £11.23, which will buy me either an A2A Comanche update, or 2.5 pints in the Warwick Arms in Norwich this evening. I think I can stretch to both.

For me, it is more the principle than the cost. 
If people are doing significantly extra work, then like you, I don't mind paying a reasonable fee for it, but I do wonder how they justify the cost when the plane is perfectly flyable in 24 already.

Customer Support when moving from 20 to 24 seems to be a lot better with say, Just Flight, doesn't it, and not just because they don't charge for the 'upgrade' fee.
