thanks for the support chaps,
yes accu-sim is worth it if you are into that kind of thing.
The cub and the 377 are of course very different, the cub and P47 with accu-sim are different to the 377. The 377 has a higher work load, but once you get use to the basic checks its much easier to use, and satisfaction is rather good when you have made a sucessful flight. What is great is that ive noticed many people on our forum now are very proud when they have made 'there' aircraft last for many flight hours.
Accu-sim is great in that respect as it gives the aircraft character and means you can fly it as your aircraft, taking care of it and trying to get the best out of it without ruining the engines and airframe. Ive noticed a few people on our forum reset there accu-sim flight hours once they feel they are able to handle the aircraft and are past 'training'. So they reset everything back to 0 to begin the aircrafts 'career'.
Before you get the 377 Dave do a bit of reading up and watch a few vids to see if it would be your own cup of tea.
