A2A Development update October 2010

This is just my guess.. From the video though it "appears" that the Spitfire is done, and may possibly be in Alpha (or even Beta) testing... The next closest would seem to be the F-104 they showed (but they did not show the VC, or Accu-sim features so may have just been recently ported into the sim?), but that would be my candidate for second.. The P-51 exterior is not textured (but that is somewhat of a simple task), and it will share some of the Spitfire's Accu-sim as they mentioned, so that would be my third guess.. The F-4 (sadly) appears to be last in this line-up as they didn't show anything of it... As far as timelines go anything is possible. The Spitfire looked pretty good to go to me. Especially with those backfire effects. They make it extremely hard to pass over planes. Even ones I don't want :icon_lol:. I always like getting the latest one just to see what all I can break, and what is new. Then I wind up falling in love with it (like the J-3 Cub). Time will tell though, but hopefully the P-51/F-4 are not as far off as I think.
 
really looking foward to all of these releases. I hope A2A can apply lessons learned from the Merlin Engine dynamics to the Allison when they eventually get to the P-40 :jump:
 
hey guys,

thanks for all the great feedback on the dev update. Just to answer one question before bed, the Spit is in Beta and has been now for about 2 weeks. Things are progressing well thanks to the beta team (best in business IMO), and its looking like we are going to have quite an aircraft at the end of it :ernae:
 
I didn't think Rob's Spitfire would EVER have any serious competition.

Guess i'll end up with two Spit hangers eh...?
 
Lewis, I have bought almost all A2A products now, so I can only be happy with this update. One question: some time ago you released a movie about the take-off preparations of the P-51D. As I understood, it was said that there would be more movies to follow, about flying the plane. Have they been released?
 
They haven't released any other videos than this so far. I think Scott and team are to busy having fun with their Spitfire while it is testing (as is deserved). I imagine there will probably be an update after the Thanksgiving holiday (I think he is in the US anyway). I imagine the Spit will be our X-mas present from A2A and they will be working hard to get it through testing with a proper shakedown before then. The more I watch the video the more I think I am going to have another Cub moment, and purchase it just to see how different Accu-sim is. Is why I need to stop coming for daily updates. They make good products. Is hard to resist. :ernae:
 
More like impossible to resist, Accusim is taking FSX into a realm we couldn't even dream of! I will be making room in my hanger for the whole range :jump:
 
:jawdrop:

Man, I can believe the awesome work you guys do! I cant wait! My Christmas list just grew longer.....
