A2A Spitfire out!

Sorry, but it has to be asked.... How does it compare to the Realair Spitfire which is simply stunning? Obviously, without taking into account accusim.

A serious problem ordering. I've gone in and out of A2A's site trying to reduce the number of orders for the spitfire. Each time going in my order is increased and the method suggested to reduce the items to download does not work. The instruction to change the number of orders is to highlight the number, change it and press a button to accept the change. When I key the change on the highlighted number, nothing happens. My order is in excess of $280 now. Rats. Hope for an early fix else I won't submit an order.

I had a similar problem on first try.
I was on the Spit product page, checked the Accusim checkbox, then added to cart.
When I went to checkout, I found two items in the shopping list:
- the Spit alone
- the Spit bundled with Accusim
Total was 78 dollars or something like that.

I deleted both item from the list using the button with the arrow I think. It worked. I went back on the product list, added again to cart, and found the bundle Spit+Accusim correctly selected on the shopping list, total 50 dollars.

I haven't got the A2A one yet, but I would imagine it would simply be the comparison of a high quality plane made now vs a high quality plane made a few years ago and the general improvements in modelling/texturing/detail...etc in such time.
 
Serious problem ordering the spitfire. The first attempt ordered too many items for lack of
my understanding the interface. The method suggested for changing the number of items did not
work. The suggested method was to highlight the number of items, change the number and press
a button to accept the change. Problem is when a new number is keyed, it does not change.
After several attempts going into my account the number of items has increased, to where I
would be charged for several spitfires amounting to over $280. I've sent an email to A2A
hoping for a fix. Won't submit an order until my account, cart, can be corrected. Puzzled!
 
Jim,

If you click on the trash can on the right, it doesn't remove the item? Oh also, have your email here. We can coorespond however you wish.

I'm loving it! First flight (Bundy to Hervey bay) went without a glitch, though you have to be careful on the ground...

It's a superb addon, as expected !
But I really hate those gauges without red zones ! :blind:
For the first time with an A2A plane, I'll have to read the manual to find what are the limits of the engine :/

What can I say... Spiffing!!!

First time out - I'll have to overheat the engine, limp back to base, then read the manual :salute: Brilliant work A2A - thank you!

What happened to the paint pack? I don't see it...



This is FAR better than the Realair spitfire. There's absolutely no comparison.

Still trying to sort out a CTD/error message on my end. Have never experienced that before - right after selecting a variant and entering back into the menu screen, a CTD message appears before the aircraft's textures load.

I have the same error. I clicked yes to install directX, but it says my installed version is up to date, so it skipped the install.
Any ideas?
My PC and FSX install are quite fresh, about 2 months old now. (windows XP SP3 still)

Cheers, Rob

Thanks for that tip. That works. Will try to d/l tomorrow. I've had a bad time with some sites sending emails but not receiving them, even in trash folders. Wish me luck.
