Accu-Feel:Core FSX Enhancement by A2A released

Felixthreeone said:
Wondering If someone can clue me in as to whether or not this product can co-exist with ezdok? I absolutely LOVE my ezdok, and have it set up custom in every plane in my hangar...what does this do, besides sound effects, that ezdok does not do? If it can genuinely add to my experience, then I might give it a whirl...

This is from A2A FAQ's on the Product

Does this conflict with programs that manipulate the camera, like EZDock?
We operate below the cameras and move the actual model. We currently do not access the cameras so there should not be a conflict. If we do access cameras in a future version, we will be sure to allow this feature to be enabled / disabled via the control panel to insure no conflicts

This is just too cool. I didn't realize it would save the configuration for each plane. I made my Bristol Blenheim all squeaky and creaky, but the Spirfire less so. And everybody gets loud tire screech sounds, because I love that! :icon_lol:

+1 hundred. The results are pure fun :icon_lol:
 
Ok, sooo, lets say I'm a developer and make flight models. Now lets say i've got accu-feel installed when i'm working on a flight model. How is it going to effect the flight model i'm working on? When the plane is released, what can people without accufeel expect??

Well..., if you are a smart developer you would remember that you have Accu-Feel installed and running. Then (IMO) you would turn it off and go about developing your work. The end-user, if they have Accu-Feel, can adjust settings to their liking. But those late nights at the keyboard has rendered many a smart developer into a tired and not-so smart developer. :sleep:

But what do I know? Ten minutes after buying the product I went and messed up my sign in data. Thought about a nap to day, oh well...:isadizzy:

Seems to me the obvious answer is, just turn Accu-Feel OFF and see for yourself.
It's not as though it were modifying the cfg or air files.

Or turn off/or uninstall Accu-Feel for the aircraft you are developing when doing the development.

It won't affect the 'flight model' one bit as all it does is read specific data from the .cfg file (and possibly the .air file) and then it uses those to change the way it's own sound and physics engines react to that data (or at least that's what I'm surmising from what I've been able to glean from the installed files and knowing the way Accu-sim works). From what I've discovered it appears that Accu-feel does not change the flight model as such it just adds extra sounds and physical changes to on-ground behaviour and adds pre-stall buffet shake which it computes from the stall data in the .cfg file. You do have sliders so that you can tweak the onset and degree of pre-stall buffet but they do not alter the original .cfg and .air files. Turn off Accu-feel and you are instantly back to the way things were before.

They can expect whatever you have programmed into your flight model.

Now, if you have Accu-feel installed and then build a flight model to take that into account then those without it may, possibly, see a difference but I doubt it. If in doubt build a flight model with Accu-feel off so that it's good for anyone and then Accu-feel should only enhance it.
 
Well, my question still has not been answered, even by what has been posted and what I have seen on the A2a site. Ezdok adds vibrations, bouncing, movement in the vc, turbulence effects, impact effects, etc...

...I am really wondering how this new addon, other than the sound effects, works with those particularly awesome effects in ezdok. Not the cameras. I am aware that the A2a product does not do anything camera related. But, Ezdok's effects are there regardless of the camera effects, and are quite good. I will more than likely pass on this product, as it seems to do everything that I already have in my sim, sans sound effects (which I am not sure are very realistic from what i have heard in the videos and such)...never heard my tires screech on contact in my real plane....at least, not from the cockpit...

AccuFeel does not in any way modify or alter your flight model.
It just produces sounds, and shaking, depending on the conditions. For example, AccuFeel will shake the VC when you are about to stall, but this stall is defined in your flight model only. It's just additionnal effects that are triggered by an external program in a smart way, nothing else. Your planes will behave just the same as before, you will just see and hear it better than ever :)
 
Just purchased Accu Feel and off to test in the P-51D. The video on the A2A site detailing the product was excellent.

Back form a test run. Fantastic addition to FSX. The enhanced realism gives all aircraft a new feel. It works on all default and 3rd party addon's. Wonderful job A2A. Thanks!!

Then with what you and Tako said, this is definitely going on my shopping list for the first of the month..
Thanks guys.. Much appreciated..

So far I've tried the KCFS Republic Seabee (land and water take-off and landings) and the feeling of realism that's coming from the wave motions, bouncing across the top of the water, is oh my god, so realistic.
Click to expand...

seeing that they are researching wave physics maybe your wave motions are actually coming from the Seabee or FSX itself?

anyways i bought the add-on, did a bit of a crooked approach on my Tecnam Sierra and loved the sound. and the brake squeal when stopping is a nice touch even if it may not be realistic for each aircraft but does increase the immersion factor.
 
So far we’re been getting a good response from the community. What we like most about this product is it can add to everyone’s aircraft, both freeware and payware. We also like the fact that the user can make things as they wish. We hope this opens up some new possibilities for everyone. If anyone has any wishes or wants to see what we’re working on now, they can post here at SOH and we have a dedicated In Development forum here:

Not working! I would post this on A2A but I can't recall my password. Core is installed correctly, I'm follwing the instructions, when I hit "alt" nothing happens. I've tried diffrent prop planes, nothing.........ideas? So far :-( but I'm sure it will be corrected soon!

When you hit alt, there is another menu option on the far right of the menu bar on top of the screen. It should say add ons and click on that. Hopefully that does the trick.
 
Mudmarine,

I assume you had to agree to load the dll's after you first installed Accu-Feel? If not, verify that you have the following in your [FSX] \ Modules folder:
- A2A_Feel.dll
- AccuFeelMenu.dll


Also, check that your C:\Users\[YOUR USER NAME]\Appdata\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX\dll.xmll file has two entries for the above dll's.

It was tested with EZDok. It has no effect on the software. You're EZDok and Accu-Feel will live in harmony. Really not much more to be said than that. I know, as I personally tested it.

...I am really wondering how this new addon, other than the sound effects, works with those particularly awesome effects in ezdok. Not the cameras.

It's a bit hard to explain, but they coexist just fine. You will get the rumbling effects from stalls and high speed dives while EZDok is enabled just fine.

(which I am not sure are very realistic from what i have heard in the videos and such)...never heard my tires screech on contact in my real plane....at least, not from the cockpit...

That is the beauty of the addon. You can adjust it as necessary quite easily and very intuitively to suit your particular needs. It was designed to be as streamline as possible.

First part: (check) they are there: A2A_Feel.dll and AccuFeelMenu.dll

Second part: Working on it......FSX/computer locked up after I loaded FSX and was attempting to ALT to the addon,,,,,,:-(
