  • Special Server Maintenance

    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated Tom Clayton has offered to post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

A2A T-6 Texan Released!

I wish that A2A would sell the newer planes with Accusim not included,but as an option like before.
I can never afford paying 50$ and i want to have the T-6 so much.

Here are some screenshots from a couple early flights in SNJ-4 N7083C. Flying, and especially landing this thing, it makes me feel like I need a lot of practice. ; )

Very valid point Mike. At least it would open it up to those who would like the airplane but simply aren't head over heels about the "accu-sim" side.

Correct,Ed.
The last plane i was able to get years ago was the Spitfire,which i bought without Acusim.Some weeks later i got the Accusim for this plane,but i never felt happy with Accusim.Simply not my cup of tea.
But to have the plane is nice nonetheless.

We split the Accu-Sim packs from the start, years back for this reason, but there were downsides that started to crop up, including customer confusion. Lewis was also hounding us to make them a single installer from the continued customer support side of things. It was getting more difficult as we grew to keep supporting both Accu-Sim and non-Accu-Sim installs. When we got to the point where 90% of the customers were reaching for Accu-Sim, it was time to simplify the package mainly for supporting the customer. So far, the reliability has continued to rise. We now have almost a 100% reliability, and to give customers a seamless and trouble free experience is paramount. I wish we could have it both ways.

So do I. . . .it just seems to be the direction the hobby is headed. More demands for greater detail, system realism, longer development and production times equates to higher prices. I get it.

I understand your point,but what`s about an "Aircraft Factory" version,so that we others could get an affordable version of the T-6?

I see a FSX t-6 package. Is there going to be a t-6 p3d package or better a fsx/p3d package in the future?
Just to not rush my purchase and need to buy another thing in the future :encouragement:

EDIT: Sorry, ignore my post. Just saw the other packages in the shop.
 
Anyone who wants a less expensive T-6, don't forget Wozza's version with John Terrell's repaints and mdl work. These have done me proud for several years. They have a realistic start up sequence and look fantastic!

I have bought the A2A T-6 today and will learn to fly it when I have time. However that time may coincide with the time when I've retired and will only be able to spend maybe $20 a month on flight sim products, so I see both sides of the discussion.

Agree wholeheartedly with that Roger. While I bought the A2A model today and have taken it for a couple of spins.. I've also had Wozza's model out this evening. With John's mod's and paints.. I'll be keeping it alongside the A2A model:encouragement:

No hesitation for me, I planned the buy, I grew up with them, just a part off life, every air show in New Zealand has a Harvard connection been for a rides and course the historical side of it ... one off the big things is the Accusim package that really kicks in, I have my own books and manuals here to read and compare then course you have Hi Res Kermy Kam videos for extra instruction, I don't work as such, this Harvard/Texan was a must for me. :encouragement:
