Hello cats and dogs and humans too,

Managed to get a nice development update out for you chaps and chapet's. We have been working hard on multiple projects. Wanted to get this out sooner however as time went on we realised that a screenshot or two just wouldnt cut the mustard.

And so I am happy to present to you the A2A Simulations October 2010 update;

A2A Forum thread

Development video



Many thanks,
Lewis and the whole A2A Simulations Team
 
That's a documentary! Should be on the Discovery Channel :applause:

(and all done without the aid of music or cinematic effects - video makers take note - THIS is the kind of video that sells products!)
 
You guys produce the most amazing stuff, I'm definitely picking up all of those when they're released.
 
The F-104...now that IS Interesting for sure. F-104C with air refueling probe I hope. The "G" would be acceptable too...IF they can develop the LN3 INS to go with her.

TF-104G...mmmm...that would do it.
 
Nice video!

The Spitfire looks nice, however it is a real pity A2A didn't start with the upgrade of the Bf109. On the other hand, it is nice they use the Spitfire and Mustang as test beds so they can produce the perfect model once they will start to upgrade the Bf109.

A question: Will Accusim for the Spitfire be sold in a similar ways as the Accusim package for the B-17? In other owrds should you already have the WWII fighters Spit (upgraded to FSX) and buy the accusim (without the model) as add-on?

Cheers,
Huub
 
Excellent video. It is good to hear they about the projects. Looking forward to them.
 
All this looks amazing but I have one question. Why do they keep saying testbeds? Why are they using other planes and saying they are testbeds for other planes? Why dont you just use the P-51 or F-4 to develop the engines instead of the F-104 and Spitfire? Is this just lingo for you guys putting the spitfire and F-104 out too?

my guess ... p51 and f4 will sell better than the spit and f-104, so it makes sense to try new things on potentaly lesser selling aircraft in order to see how well it goes down with everyone, rather than doing it on a potential big seller and haveing people say "o dont it get, XYZ has been done and it spoils it", just a theroy :)

The Spit and F104 have far simpler 'systems' than the P-51 and F-4 therefore it is easier to get Accu-Sim working in those before moving the modules into the more complex aircraft. Don't forget A-S thus far has always been on air cooled engines this is new ground when you consider water cooling and jet propulsion.
 
I'll be glad to do a Blue Angel F-4J! Wow Lewis, youse huys have been busy. Lovely stuff you got in the works, checking wallet. :jump:
