    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

Thx, it looks really nice (as many in the MSFS environment) and looks like they back very slowly to "the game" but they'll back, however its again old plane from FSX and P3D time and now we will see it in MSFS. Personally, I would appreciate the new content more, not old chops in new breading :very_drunk:. Of course, it will be a must-have for me, but I don't know if it will taste the same as the new cutlet.

For the most part I agree, I don't really have much interest in developers just porting their old catalogue to the new sim (even though I understand why they do it) but they have communicated why they chose the Comanche.

Quote is from November 2021
I just wanted to say that as of yesterday, thanks to our brilliant Michal Krawczyk and Mark Smith, we appear to be out of the woods with Accu-Sim and MSFS2020. It goes to show that there is almost nothing you can’t do if you put your mind to it and don’t give up.


Today for the first time, I took off and performed a bunch of maneuvers in the air, came back with a nice flare and landed in an all-new Accu-Sim Comanche 250. All major road blocks are cleared.


So now that we have this Comanche 250 in place we can properly plan for MSFS development. Keep in mind that being brand new tech, systems and physics, it will take longer for this first airplane, which is why we chose the Comanche 250 since we know it so well. But once this airplane is out the Accu-Sim production line will be in place, so to speak.

I hope we get some new aircraft from them as well as our old favourites. My expectations are more GA stuff, but there is still a part of me that is hopeful they will go back and finish their F104/Phantom/T33 or we get consumer versions of their Texan II and T38.
 
Probably like most - they want to learn a new SDK (and perhaps I would do it myself), hence the old choices, but I hope that they will also go for new aircraft models that have not left the simulator hangar so far, somethng like in Wing42 or FlyingIron company.
 
Way back before MSFS2020 appeared, A2A mentioned a new B-17 for P3D, and I wonder if that will now be developed for MSFS instead. While at Cosford in 2019, I asked Scott whether they could also do a demilitarized civilian version, and he didn't dismiss the idea. Obviously, given their exacting standards, it would be some way off in the future.
 
probably very unlikely to occur - but I would really love to have the XB-17 at last in a flight sim

Anything A2A is exciting. Anything B-17 sounds wonderful. A modernized A2A B-17 (or even just the FSX one with Accusim in the FS2020 world) would be glorious. Let's see what time will bring.
 
I love A2A stuff; I wrote about their very first product when I was still doing flight sim coverage for paper magazines!

But between Carenado and Just Flight my hangar has more single-engine Pipers than I really need right now. So glad to see they're getting practice and are ready to bring over some of their other stuff. I can't imagine the B377 is at the top of the list, but it'd be super-cool to see that eventually.
