What a great day in the 172
What a great day in the 172
I spent almost all day flying the A2A Trainer C-172 all over South Florida and between Atlanta and Chattanooga. The programing that went into this aircraft is mind boggling, from the preflight, to running the battery down if you forget to prime the engine with fuel, to fouling the plugs if you idle too long with the mixture rich and the 100LL fuel which I have done in real life. The end of the day, I fly it up to Pahookee, where I used to fly when I lived in South Florida, and went to tie the aircraft down and I couldn't get the control lock to work. Finally discovered that you had to push the yoke forward so the hole lines up and the lock will go in place.....This aircraft is better than sliced bread.

Re: What a great day in the 172
Hi bobsk8
Just want to tell you that I myself have been spending the last half year (yes 1/2 year) of learning allmost everything about the small C172 to manage to fly the plane "by the book".
I have both the P51 civilian together with the rest of the GA from A2A.
But I have not yet moved them even out of my hangar....
With these wonderful airplanes from A2A, you have to actually learn them from the bottom to understand how much joy they can bring back to us as simming pilots.
If you dont learn them from inside to out, from the ground to high up in the air, they will just give you a lots of unwanted problems back, just like the real airplane
Have fun everyone.
Steinar.

Re: What a great day in the 172
AHA! I never did figure that out! I've been having too many issues between Saitek non-cooperation, and actually finding time to fly, to ever investigate that. I try to park "accurately" like I would in real life, and I NEVER managed to put that darn thing back in. It's been lounging in the pocket as long as I've owned this aircraft.bobsk8 wrote:I Finally discovered that you had to push the yoke forward so the hole lines up and the lock will go in place.....

Re: What a great day in the 172
Now Lewis you of all people should know the only time a pilot sim or real life every stops learning is when he or she dies. You guys did a fantastic job on this airplane.
