No squat switches for me, thanks!

At least it looks like no one was watching. Wasn't even warmed up enough to taxi yet.

Leave it to me to come up with the real world analogy :-))

I'd be willing to bet the farm that anyone who got into learning to fly real airplanes after going through an Accusim experience using our airplanes in the sim and making a few of these wheels up landings would be ten steps ahead of someone else who missed these experiences in the sim as that relates to the chance of making a gear up landing in a real airplane down the line.

Just one more potential advantage of learning about flying through A2A.

Yeah, doing that is almost as embarrassing as "unplanned lithobraking".
unplanned lithobraking= landing and forgetting to put down the gear. :oops:
Orville's law: when the altitude of the ground at your current location exceeds the altitude of your aircraft, you have most assuredly crashed.

FSX is all about entertainment right? A word of warning to our users. DO NOT LEARN TO FLY WITH A2A. What ever next? :roll:
