About Accusim and what it means to all of us

Writing as a complete aeronautics and technical boob, I love the B377 even though I am not a big fan of civil aircraft. To be able to study the operating of a particular aircraft in this depth is fascinating. I'll never be a master of this model, but it is a great deal of fun to use a model which lives up to what other sims only pretend to offer. The greater the detail the better. Since the Accusim facility is an add-on to the basic model, nobody gets burned. The casual user buys the basic product, and those who want more buy the Accusim addition. Couldn't be more fair.

In my opinion, your exactly the kind of 'aviation enthusiast' (sounds much better than an aeronautics and technical Boob, dont it?) that Accusim is aimed for,. Count me in that group also.
 
I think most of us, but not all of us will agree that we want to fly a plane that is as close to the real thing as possible. Even the subtle nuances of things such as the way a hydraulic pump operates, the sound of the APU, etc etc etc. This is why most of us sim. It is like walking into a musuem, only that we get to simulate flying it.
