A2A AND Flysimware Lancair Legacy!

[ryanbatc]

I'm shocked there's no mention of these two companies doing the beautiful Lancair Legacy yet!

FSW had announced first via discord but plot twist was that A2A is also doing one lol!

A2A will do the normally aspirated version that Scott owns.

FSW will do that along with some glass and analog versions, including a turbocharged version and Reno Racer versions down the road. FSW is working directly with the owner of N321TF (interesting story about the owners who both worked for NASA - just google the tail number for info).

Basically it's the best of both worlds... more variants with probably slightly less flight model/systems for FSW and the usual in depth right down to individual cylinders with the A2A!

Not normally my sort of aircraft, but the lure of A2A's Accusim is almost irresistible. I passed on the Aerostar, but will certainly get the Legacy.

That's a beautiful and fast (my kind of aircraft) airplane. I think it was Orbx who produced one in the past. I remember owning it. I like the A2A analog cockpit.

I'm with ya, for props, I don't like "iPad airplanes". Steam gauges all the way!

I'm ABSOLUTELY going to get the A2A Legacy when it releases. Like John, I like things that go FAST...(both in real life and in the sim!).

I have the Lancair Legacy for FSX by RealAir and really enjoy it!. Really looking forward to the A2A version. Hope it is compatible with MSFS 2020.

Be interesting to see what happens with the two most high-end developers creating versions of the same plane, particularly when people over on the official MSFS forums have been whining that A2A chose a "niche" airplane.

I'll definitely be going A2A. I'd want Garmin avionics in a real plane, but in the sim having two dozen Garmin planes with identical avionics is boring. And FSW's pricing is so insanely P3D-level high that I don't even consider their stuff unless it's on sale. (I don't own the FS2024 version of the Lear because the upgrade price is more than I paid for almost all of my brand new planes.)

Thanks for creating the topic about these models !!
But I thought FSW would only model the glass cockpit variant ? Did I misunderstand ?
