The secret airplane in development

[Piper_EEWL]

Sounds great Scott. I’m glad your trip was successful!

Happy flying

It sounds like some interesting times ahead.

In the meantime, the Bonanza is still getting great attention from our beta team. They are holding our feet to the fire as usual.

Do you think they will thumb-up the first set of preliminary screenshots soon?

The Bo cockpit is looking better every day, so screens are getting closer, yes.

Scott.

Did somebody say "great Scott"?



Sorry, but very curious what all is up! And another vote for the Texan II.

Scott.

Fantastic news, looking forward to it. Also congratulations on expanding your company well beyond it's 'Flight sim hobbyist' roots into the professional flight training realm. Quite a jump from the Shockwave days eh?

Cheers,
TJ

Hi.
The new mystry aircraft will most likly have a NEW TURBINE ENGINE hence the updated accu sim physics after reading PC Pilot today.
regards alan.

Just bought a digital copy of issue n°116 on their website, turbine it is

Outstanding!

Okay, then would it be a turbofan, turbojet, turboprop, or other? Regardless... interesting times ahead!

As a sidenote, there is a line that catches my attention in the capture above.

This is a very difficult question to answer because our plans are in constant motion. In this world, it's the flexible company that survives and thrives and no the static uni-directional approach of the past that succeeds. So we are very careful to not speak publicly about our existing plans until a product is in beta testing, because until that point, even we don't know if it will make it to the market.

Thumbs-up from me! Yet, there is a hint of a limitation of this approach above. It is the sheer complexity of the aircraft that are up in the food chain these days, especially where we get into...continuous combustion engines.

So far Accu-Sim has thrived on building up bottom-up, creating the Accu-sim and building up on it. When the complexity runs up, however, the problem becomes that of commitment. Sourcing the info, modeling it, testing it and validating the results becomes a long, long process in what comes to very complex aircraft. Years long. A2A's pace of study, to me, suggests a proper study level sim, building bottom-up. Hopping in between products that seem viable seems like either filtering the study level depth relatively shallow, or wasting unnecessary resources to the projects that never mature.

The Accu-sim twin was all but announced several years back in forum discussions. I have an impression of that pending any development news or any actual announcement were put on hold for not being ready for this as of yet kind of reason, but wanting to proceed with further single on the GA lineup. Which seem sensible in the context of bottom-up approach.

Is there a risk that unexpected opportunities will distort the bottom-up based foundation, in developing the new simulations from top-down approach instead, a long-time follower might ask. Are we shedding yet another product line some time in the future, with different depth-of-simulation target?

Hmm...there are five flying T-33s in Texas...

[n421nj]

Very interesting stuff. An A2A jet would be amazing.

[Dogsbody55]

An Accusim jet would be great, so it now appears that earlier projects might now go ahead. But can we get the Bonanza finished and released first, please?


Cheers,

On the assumption that we know it is turbine of some sort and based on stalling speed from previous videos and that it has to be a 2 seater as slot of people have surmised it is possibly a t33. So I thought this might be a good read for anyone interested in t33s. Great article by Barry Schiff, includes a video too.
