Accu-Feel:Core FSX Enhancement by A2A released

Reluctantly purchased it yesterday, based on all the hoopla on this site and numerous others. As a long time ezdok user, I couldn't for the life of me figure out what on earth the big deal was. Once I was assured there would be no conflicts between ezdok's effects and accu-feel's, I decided to get it.

................................................................WOW.....................................................................

.....It blends seamlessly with ezdok, and adds even more immersion than I thought it possibly could. The tire screeches are a bit loud at default levels, and the brake noise is a bit too tinny....but overall, this is one outstanding addon, well worth the low price...heck, they could have charged more for it and it would have been worth it.

The combination of TrackIR, ezdok, and now accu-feel has really made it a sim. Nice job, A2A!
 
The gimmick idea is interesting, might be an idea to add in a few easter eggs :icon_twi:

Thanks for the kind words, we will be adding some new sounds and carrying on development so if the tinnie brakes dont work for an aircraft you personally use you will be able to change it via the slider. Currently using the sliders you can still make a change in sounds, however from feedback we will see about making it more pronouced, from the tinny to the strong. Also look at a few more specific sounds at the end of the sliders for the tubeliner crowd. Keep an eye on our feel development forum to see whats being said by the community and what we are currently looking into.

thanks,
Lewis
 
Thanks, Lewis. On that note, it would be interesting to hear touchdown sounds that are a bit more of a 'thud' in certain aircraft...i.e. fighters and larger GA stuff...

...Overall, the product is very good. Only can get better from here...
 
A nice one indeed. Sad thing here is to learn what the other addon developers have left undone with their planes. Sounds are crucial part of the immersion.
 
I just finished testing it in some of my favourite aircraft. First the Carenado C152, which is the only aircraft I can say that I know how it behaves in real. I liked the effect but I just increased the "bag of bolts" effect and reduced the shock absorption. It made a difference and now it feels like the tired Club trainers. Then I tried the Razbam T-2 and A-7 and the Iris T-2 and loved how these great planes became even better. One of the best purchases for FSX.
 
Hey Roger, you'll be glad to know that while the wind noise portion doesn't totally support open cockpit airplanes 'yet', you can still get wind noise in your old GAS Wacos. I tried it out on the Waco ASO...just had to modify the aircraft.cfg to give it more exits...then I just 'open' the extra door...keep it open and i get great wind noise.
 
Oh I'm so late... totally missed this thread & chanced upon the app yesterday, so bought it immediately & tried it out on the Carenado A36. WOW! Works with Track IR, what a great app. Love the configurable nature. Yet another "must have".
One suggestion (maybe impractical) - when you open the door you get the wind noise (also when the engines off :p) - but the draft would cause the door to slam - any way to replicate that?

I'd love to join in the fanfare for this, but it simply doesn't generate any sounds despite apparently installing OK and providing the control interface. :banghead: Totally frustrating.
 
I jumped out of a perfectly good airplane once. Ok, twice. I can verify that when the door is opened, it gets really loud. It was a C-180 type, and the door swung upwards, so that when opened it was flat against the underside of the wing. It was still loud. I was the first guy out, and was sitting on the floor where the right seat would be (no seats in the plane except the pilot's) with my head, at thigh level, a couple of inches from the pilot's legs. That the pilot was a very attractive young lady in shorts affected concentration wee bit, but still remember the amazing wind noise that occurred when the door was opened. :)

I need more squeaky wheels, creaks, groans, and such for my DHC-6 Twin Otters. I remember flying in the back of those up in Maine, and I'm looking forward to the updates to this fun product!
 
jetstream try landing in a small ga aircraft like a cessna 172 and see if you hear more tire squeal and vibration going down the landing strip.

same here: a nice control interface without any effect to my planes (XP 32, SP2, FSX Acceleration):isadizzy:

Take a look at the FAQ here:
http://www.a2asimulations.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=89&t=28627

I would be sure to run both the online directx installer and simconnect installer. If that doesn't work, there could be an unknown conflict in your XML.DLL. You can get this info in the FAQ, and also post in the tech support forum if you are in need of more help.

We have over 99.75% up and running, but there are always these odd weird conflicts on a handful of systems. We are all still full on helping anyone who is having trouble.

Olaf, thanks for the suggestion, I've tried all sorts of aircraft including the default Cessna at a default airfield and nothing.

Scott, been and done all of that, and the particular support thread is turning cold at A2A, I realise this is not turning out to be easy to resolve, but after a few posts with information posted and no comment about it, I'm not feeling confident that it will be.
 
jetstream check your documents for a A2A folder inside that folder you will find a fsx foldser with the aircraft that you have flown using accufeel. The next thing I would check is if you were using vista or windows 7 did you turn off your uac .
 
Jetstreamsky,

If you would like, we could try handling this over the phone and remote to your PC?

If so, just PM me and we can coordinate.

Scott.
 
I was at the point of facing up to reinstalling FSX and I tried one more test flight. I set the accu-feel sliders to their max noisiness and flew again and whilst idling the engine I thought I could hear something subtle. I went to the FSX sound settings and put all sliders to 50%, which didn't really do much, yet when I selected Q (Sound Off) I found this kills only the MS sounds and now I could more easily hear a hint of other sounds which turned out to be from Accu-Feel. However these were only barely audible and only for tyre squeal and wind rush when diving at VNE. Door opening presented an initial hint of sound then went quiet as did cabin rattling, however braking produced no sound at all.

I went to something heavier and chose the Aerosoft Twotter, this time again with Q sound off, I got a little short squeek for brakes.

Now having heard working effects, it had to be something outside of Accu-feel and started going through the sound card settings, initially not finding much significant, however upon opening up the volume mixer function I found there was a separate slider for FSX, not just devices, but for a program, not seen that before. Anyway that slider was at only 25% of the value that the speaker volume was set to, so i moved it up and Hey Presto! Accu-Feel sounds WORK :jump:, well all except for drag from flaps, but that's probably needing more tweaking from me, overall I think I have resolved it, I'm a much happier bunny now. :icon_lol: :guinness:
 
I like it. Except....

For three flights now, I keep telling my crew-chief that my F-15E's brakes are squeaking. He hasn't fixed it yet.

He probably thinks of you like this:

I might give this one a try some day, even though I´m not the usual payware guy. These days I mainly fly the Accusimmed B-17 (Thought 3 years about getting this one), which won´t get much out of Accu-Feel anyway. But I think this seems like a great addon that gives FSX a lot of atmosphere that has been missed till now. And the price is only fair in my opinion!

:icon29: To A2A!
