Possibility of Comanche 400?

[Cessna781]

Just saw the run-up video of the Comanche 400 and can already sense the passion Scott has for the extra cylinders. What are the chances of getting a Comanche 400 for FSX/P3D? Maybe even an addon to the Comanche 250? I love the cockpit on the 400 and find that my biggest peeve on the current 250.

Anyways thanks for the video!

According to Scott the 400 shares little in common with the usual Comanche's and is basically a whole new airframe. Larger vertical tail, various structural enhancements, and the cockpit layout is different from the 250 we currently have. So would be an all new model. Scott talked about the 400 in this thread: http://a2asimulations.com/forum/viewtop ... 00#p459739 . He never said they would or wouldn't do it though, so will just have to see what the future holds.

"I hope you enjoyed that. I certainly did." Yep. Me 3. Love that sound and the sense of power imparted by the movie. Any time you feel like doing an Accusim Comanche 400, I'll be a day 1 buyer. Your Comanche 250 is easily my favourite FSX plane.


Cheers, and thanks for the video.

I'd like to see them do a Comanche 180 myself.

Wow! Love that sound. I'll take 2 please.

Anything they produce will sell as long as it continues in the line of greatness they have already established. I'd buy one also

I love my A2A Pipers and have spent many enjoyable hours in them, and will spend many more. But the Comanche 400 is something of a hot rod or muscle car with wings, if you will. For that reason alone, it's worth doing in Accusim form. I've watched the video a few times and still enjoy it. Please post more videos of this plane, Scott, as it's story with you unfolds.

Possibility yes, but not on the cards right now. Main priority for releases is the P3Dv4 conversion of current P3D fleet and work is already underway for re-releasing of our warbirds etc for the new P3Dv4 platform.

Lewis you win the quote of the day award. I figured the warbirds haven't even had the dust brushed off of them yet as you guys have been re-issuing installers and such for the 172 trying out new stuff. This has to be the best thing I have read all day.

aaaand the Accusim Beaver...

Who cares about A2A... This one is confirmed by the community

Indeed it is. Especially now that the new Beaver-addon on the market is deemed to be a good, but not excellent, rendition of the iconic plane. I was worried it might be just good enough for an Accusim Beaver to be overkill, but I'm absolutely sure that A2A would own the market if they made their version.

Glad to see that this one is a possibility, and I quite understand your priorities re P3D V4 right now, and hopefully your first twin. But given the differences between the Comanche 250 and 400, a 400 would be quite instructional. Sim pilots would get a greater understanding of the weight and trim differences, and I imagine the stall characteristics are very different. Also, this plane flies higher than any of the present GA offerings, so an oxygen bottle could be simulated as has been asked for many times. Maybe one day???

I agree. A 400 with an oxygen bottle simulation would be a great addition to the fleet.

I'd figure, if tuned to nice, smooth lean-of-peak cruise, this airplane would pull some respectable airspeeds at around 8000...11000 ft doing wide-open and bringing back the prop. The A2A 250 starts to lose the best of its performance on economy cruise at those heights, in it, I prefer ~6000 or so. I myself seldom find any need to go higher than that. If trying wide-open cruise in 400 at 6000 ft, I'd expect it to start loosing some less rigid parts along the way...
