Re: EDM 80 to show liters

+1 …but ONLY if it’s available on the real unit.

Re: Paint request thread?

That is indeed a beauty. I wonder when we’ll get the 260 upgrade from A2A 😏

Yes, you’re absolutely right. I should have thought longer before I answered - the walk around uses instrument views.

Re: Cockpit Camera View Suggestion

So far as I understand, the walk around views are actually cockpit views which is why you can stick your head through the windows.

Re: Feature Request. Open/Close door from outside

Not possible so far as I know - MSFS automatically puts you in the primary cockpit camera position. What I've done is set up the hat switch on my yoke to flick between the 'Instrument' views ... which includes the walkaround cameras. With two clicks I can be at the baggage loading view, from where I...

Re: Fuel Starvation Test

Superb demonstration! I was surprised just how quickly it shut down at 2500rpm ... and felt her paint too :wink:

Re: Carburetor heat control

I would be progressive in real life, so I'll bet it is in anything A2A produces :wink: My memory from many decades of simming (and enough RL hours to have soloed decades ago lol) is that you only ever pull it out fully - if you open it partially, any melted ice can freeze again further down the air ...

Re: Like saying hello to an old friend...

Yes, I couldn't agree more - like having your best pal/girlfriend/significant other back after a long absence 8)

Unfortunately, it's spoiled the enjoyment of all those other favourite aircraft in my hangar :shock:

Re: Minor observations

Flying a real C172R in real life for almost five years I never experienced a foggy canopy. You've probably also never experienced hypoxia, but they still model it. I've also never seen this kind of fogging in real life either. Vents closed up, OAT at 39° F, and a warm body just sitting there in ...

Re: Piper Comanche 250 Full Review

Excellent review! In fact, I'd go so far as to say this is the best aircraft review I've ever watched, bar none. Not perfect, a few errors and procedural oppsies, but nonetheless excellent viewing, jam packed full of information, acknowledging the system demands, and thankfully not the usual 'this a...

Re: SCREENSHOTS

Hello everyone! Picked up the Comanche yesterday and took alot of pictures. On one of them I decided to crop out the FSX background and put in a real background from my local airport. I think it turned out pretty cool. :) Credit for the repaint goes to Flieger-Marius! Excellent job! And I love that...

Re: Custom Interior: Download now available

I have to confess that I don't see the attraction that many seem to see in wood trim in aircraft. In a classic Jaguar, Yes, but (for me at least) not the fantastic Comanche. Each to their own, of course, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. However, I LOVE the seats and fabric trim here, so I'll be...

Re: SCREENSHOTS

Just a few shots to say Thank You to JanKees for this lovely N8125P retro green scheme. (Apologies for the quality of my pics - I reckon with the amount of jagged edges I need to up my antialiasing or something, but FSX is running sweetly and its only in screenies that I really notice them.) 1. Awai...

Re: Finished Repaints

Here's N8125P Happy flying, JanKees I'm going to be very happy flying N8125P - just the kind of retro texture I've been waiting for. She looks good in the sim, although I haven't taken her up for a blast yet. Later, I keep saying to myself, I have to eat first ... then I stare at it some more and a...
