...to rethink their position on "Flying Tigers". I have this mean looking P40 that just needs to go out and blow something up and shoot down a few planes. A2A you know it is time to do this . You have got to give us something to shoot at.

Please

There happens to be a shortage of Japanese warbirds flying around that contain their original engines, and with A2A moving into the jet age with the Lockheed F-104 Starfighter and McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II, I'd say there's a very unlikely chance that we would see an Accusim German or Japanese fighter. Personally, I don't think I'd buy a Japanese warbird or a German one, the latter more likely, but its just so much investment. What I'd expect to happen, if such products were made, is that the applicable aircraft would be made by a developer that is using Accusim under license; Scott has mentioned this approach is feasible, and I'm certain its the way that perhaps some of these non-allied planes will come about, with the in-house warbirds perhaps being 'the show', so to speak.

i'd think they'd rather have the funding and manpower rather than a petition :lol:

Alright, let's do it like this: We buy the sim before it is developed. Funding solved. Lewis will have to work overtime and at night. Manpower problem solved.

Do I have to do all the thinking here?

Well, you can always take a Texan and paint it white. But if you want to shoot it down, you need Grumman F-14 first 8)

I painted these CH FW-190A-9s in fictional basic IJ colors just to see what they would look like. The FW shares a lot of similarities to Japanese fighter design, especially when looking at it from the front. Lol maybe the new Flugwerk FW-190Ns might make resonable stand-ins for KI-84s or KI-100s in any future WWII movies.

An Accusimmed Zero or 109 would be awesome, but I know there are already a lot of great projects on the plate so axis aicraft probably pretty low on the list. People might find German cockpits itimidating, but I have found them to be very logical and more intuitive than their western counterparts of the period.

The WoP2 Zero is still a nice plane. It's not available anymore. However, if A2A were to post it as a free download on their favorite website of choice, it would be a nice gesture and good PR and advertising. IRIS has been uploading lots of their older planes lately. I never knew much about them till I downloaded a couple. Just sayin...

Please, don't forget about the AccuSim-junkies from Germany. Personally, I'd love to see an accusimmed 109 or 190 or even a Dornier 17. Heck, I'd even buy a WW1 Fokker if it has A2A written on it. :twisted:

Thats true.

I think in the meantime there are a lot of german customers of A2A accusim getting more and more. Not least because of good assessment by german FS forum participants in the major forums at germany. :D

I am one of the proud accusim customers telling my technical expierience and about my accusim world tours to get users aware of "true" simulation in all detail as accusim provides :D

With this new Accu-feel release we might be able to have our cake and eat it too. For example, I really like the CH BF-108 Taifun. It would have to be my favorite non A2A Accusim plane. Now soon I will get to add accufeel to it and it will be as close to an accusimmed BF-108 as we can get.

To be honest, the Jaggyroad films on YouTube made me become an A2A customer, even before I had bought my copy of FSX. In fact, I bought FSX because of A2A. So Scott, Mr. Gates owes you and the guys behind Jaggyroad one huge pint of beer. :twisted:

The Accu-Feel add-on really is a landmark product. The entire FSX community is going to get a taste of Accu-sim like a dog eating peanut butter. A2A's customer base is about to skyrocket.
