Accu-FeelV2 Air, Land & Sea is out

Accu-feel question

Having just set up a computer that is finally able to run FSX OK, I'm just beginning to add stuff to it. I am very interested in A2A's cub. As well as the Accu-FeelV2. Question is........would I need the cub plus accusim for it, or would the Accu-Feelv2 be almost the same thing?

It's just my guess, but I think if you buy the Cub w/accusim, technically you wouldn't need Accu-feel. . . .but having said that, Accu-feel works with all your aircraft, where the accusim module is modeled specific only for the aircraft it's made for.

Thanks for the reply......I got the difference, I was just wondering how close the accu feel would come to being equal to accusim in the cub. If it would be worth the extra twenty bucks to buy the accusim for the cub or could I get "nearly" the same thing by getting the accu-feel (which I want anyway). I guess a better way to ask, is does accu-feel work with the a2a cub and to what extent does it compare to the cub with accusim.

Accusim gives you the passenger with her vocal contributions and the maintenance intervals. I am not sure whether the tie-downs and cold start options are in the basic Cub or not.
 
Any users out there with real floatplane experience that can comment on the veracity of getting on and off the step and high speed water dyanmics?

I think the water dynamics of AF2 are much improved. I don't have floatplane experience, so can't comment, but I suspect the sim is still quite a bit off from RW dynamics. Probably won't ever get that close, but the experience is way more believable than it used to be.

Back on topic, Accu-sim does a LOT more than Accu-feel, particularly in terms of engine and flight physics. Accu-feel is great because it adds so much to all planes, but Accu-sim, for the planes that have it, is a much more comprehensive package. The Cub Accu-sim package adds realism to systems such as engine wear, for instance, that Accu-feel doesn't provide.
 
Surely A2A would not release a relatively inexpensive generic add-on if it offered anywhere near the accu-sim experience of their more expensive aircraft.
I'm enjoying accu-feel v2, but still saving for the accu-sim Cub package. :wiggle:
 
Well Accufeel gives you just about all the sonic environment of Accusim, as far as I can tell.
And in my opinion that is the most important part. I remember the first time I opened the canopy of the WoP P-47 and got the woosh of air, that's an immersion improvement I couldn't come back from.
All my other models felt sad in comparison and when it came out Accufeel really brought them back to life.

I reckon Accufeel makes FSX a much better simulator, thank you A2A! :icon29::icon29::icon29:

Accu-Feel's tag line is 'bring a hint of accu-sim to your hanger' and this is pretty much exactly it. It brings a tiny hint of a full accu-sim package to your hanger. When it comes to accu-sim aircraft the amount of benefit you will get from Accu-feel will depend upon the age of the Accu-sim aircraft, for example some of the older ones might benefit from some of the sounds and physics of the feel program. Overall though the Accusim packs upgrade all sorts from engines to systems flight physics and of course are tailored to a particular aircraft from hundreds of hours spent with the aircraft, test flying it etc.

What I was thinking too, just wanted independent confirmation. Thanks
 
I Love this new version. Very cool.

But, I'm confused about something:

How does Accu-feel affect real world weather being enabled, with “download winds aloft” also enabled?

For example, if I’m flying with real weather enabled, and I have the global turbulence slider at 0, will that eliminate any turbulence that might otherwise have occurred if I didn’t have Accu-feel installed, with real weather enabled? Or does the 0 zero setting simply not affect default FS behaivor? If that’s the case, than a setting of 100 would substantially increase the effects of turbulence, as compared to somebody who doesn’t have Accu-feel installed, correct?

Same question (I think) for the turbulence section at the lower left side of the interface. With the gusts slider at zero, does that mean “FSX default gust effects” or “override FSX’s gust effects and make them ‘no effect’”?

Paul,
Accu-Feel turbulence is a wind enhancer. The sliders only affect Accu-Feel turbulence.

The sliders for CHOPS and GUSTS are Accu-Feel effects.

Hi Scott, one other question, about the "history of wind", as it were.

Did the enhanced wind effects begin with version 1.1? Now that I have v2.0 installed I can't go back and look at the interface for version 1.1 to verify this one way or the other.
