A2A Accu-Sim Skylane 18...WOW!!!

Usually, I am not a big fan of GA aircraft, but this is one impressive piece of work. Working on FDE's for various aircraft I know what goes into producing a first rate profile and A2A has some pretty advanced modeling and physics going on.
Very impressive. I think I might just pick this one up when it comes out.
 
this is a bush plane - a real good bush plane..the only thing missing is another wing, and a round motor..

In a perfect world, A2A would be able to acquire the source code from Javis of the N3N and finish it off by accusimming the bejeebers out of it

now THAT would be something.
 
'Oh another boring Cessna'...A plane is fun or boring depending on how or where you operate it. You can make any plane 'exciting' by flying them in exciting and challenging environments. For example, go to Telluride, CO in the late summer during marginal VFR thunderstorm season, load up the Cherokee to MGTOW....Have Fun!!:biggrin-new: The Cherokee becomes boring when you try to fly it on trips better suited to a Baron or something. Likewise, the 182 will be quite fun when trying to plunk it down in some backwoods airstrips.

thats called the difference betweeng going somewhere and getting somewhere I think
 
... I'm just glad that with the 182, we won't have to use the slew key anymore!

Really A2A?

The biggest thing I might be hopeful about, would be that their future core-updates might actually fix the wide array of associated problems with the warbird experience, that were caused after the numerous 172 updates.

Fingers crossed...

true that. the latest core-updates touches a handful of aspects of the Razorback, it continuously updates nearly all the warbirds. And thank you for the great Vaught F4 Goodyear Race Pack Joseph. :very_drunk:

Me too,

And an accusimmed Lancaster BI/BIII, Halifax, Sterling, Ju88, He111, He177, Spitfire MkVb, IXc, XIV, XVI but since A2A turned to GA aircraft Warbirds seem to be forgotten.

:frown-new:
 
Pardon my ignorance, but what makes this a "bush plane"? I was always under the impression that "bush" meant "off airport" and that meant "taildragger"? Ala the C185?

I will definitely get this plane when it comes out, just curious about the "bush" designation?

I have seen many different configurations of "bush" planes...yes the taildragger lends itself to shorter landings and take-offs, but a tricycle geared airplane can be used for off airport uses quite well....I've even seen a "Tundra" Diamond DA-40.

High wing and lots of power to weight ratio for short take-off and climb-out. Power to get you where you are going in mountainous terrain. Just to mention a few great attributes...I flew one of these in Guatemala delivering medical supplies a long while back. Some of places you had to land were downright SCARY!!! The video gives a good idea why the 182 was a sweetheart bush plane.

Yeah there are quite a few bush planes with 'Trike' config...Kodiak, Twin Otter, Cessna 206/207/208, FU24, AAC Angel...etc. The Cessna 182 was essentially just a Trike version of the Cessna 180, in fact if you see some early 182s with Texas Taildragger conversions, you couldn't tell the difference apart from looking at the serial plate lol.

That would actually be a good question, if you had the money and wanted a 'new'(low time airframe/engine) bush plane...Would you buy something like a T182T, give it a Texas Taildragger conversion, add Tundras and so on. I think that would be a pretty slick little bush plane lol.
