@Christopher Low and @Paul K if you guys are gonna turn your steak into shoe leather anyway, I hope you're not buying expensive cuts like Rib Eye! 😆

Just when I thought I was fluent in English... Looks like I still have a lot to learn, can't make sense of this barbecue stuff! A tad frustrating as I suppose it's meant to be funny. Sorry, no steak for me, I am a fish guy! There you go, I hope I spoilt your sauce now.

As for this airplane, too bad it has glass instruments, I had in mind to buy my first A2A plane, but no thanks, no GA with glass cockpit for me, I will have to wait for the next one.

The glass comes later. See @St Mawgan shots above as this is what the initial release will look like. And your English is exceptional. It's the local cultural stuff that's creating the mystery.

Both seafood and glass are also good in my book. Surf and turf anyone? Now I am hungry...

I just don't want my steak to go 'Moo' when I shove a fork in it. 😉

Can't wait for this release. Sounds like it is getting closer. I do love the older gauges, but choice is best.

I've heard of the $100 hamburger, but you folks are taking it to another level with all this fancy food. 😀

I kind of like my FSW Legacy. I'm not sure I need another one.

I, too, really like the FSW.

But I took the Aerostar out for a ride this weekend, and it was as wonderful an A2A experience as ever.

So, I’m certainly willing to “risk” the cost of a single dinner on an A2A product as I doubt it’ll be worse than the FSW.

And even if it’s only As Good…well, there are plenty of guys who buy every single variant of an airliner from the same developer just to fly IRL liveries on IRL routes. 🤷‍♂️

These two being from different devs with significantly different simulation architectures should give us far more differentiation than a 736 vs a 739.

And for me, these types of small, nimble and fast aircraft are my favorites. There’s only a couple other airframes I might prefer - like the Turbulence turboprop-powered Legacy, or A2A’s own P-51 Civilian Mustang.

So I’ve absolutely no hesitation about having two of these in the collection. 😁👍

I would only have steak well done. That is probably heresy in most circles, but I don't care.

Well done for me too. I don't want to see any evidence that my dinner once lived and wandered around without a care in the world.

The risk with Well Done is that it’s “just this side” of too dry and too chewy. Therefore too easy to ruin a fine meal. IMHO, of course 😎

I will stick with the mixed steam/glass cockpit as seen on other A2A screenshots.

I prefer steam for the simple reason that it’s easier to read and manipulate in-sim (at least for me).

Not to worry, good sir!

A2A usually produce ONLY steam gauge addons (hence my faux outrage at this unprecedented Full Glass option).

I’ll be spending most of my trips with nothing more than the above and the sim default GPS. 😎👍

I'll buy anything A2A makes. Even if another dev makes the same plane, there's pretty much zero doubt in my mind that A2A's will be better.

I don't think that is necessarily true any more. When Black Square release their Aero Commander I will probably uninstall the Aerostar which gets very little time from me. Very different aircraft I know, but the Aero Commander will most likely push the Aerostar out of my hanger for good. I feel the same about the Comanche which is obviously great, but somehow always gets overlooked when I go to the hanger. I just never really feel the urge to fly it like I do other aircraft of that type.

The only A2A I am actually looking forward to is the 172.

I'm willing to accept a full glass A2A Legacy as long as we can still point and laugh at people who want glass in their Comanche and Aerostar.

Can you say what it is that you're not so keen on in the Aerostar ?

Personally I LOVE the modelling that A2A has achieved but the real world plane just seems to be a collection of bad ideas (mild hyperbole) ;)
