v1.6.2 Of The Accu-Sim Comanche 250 for MSFS Is Now Available

Post by Nick - A2A »

Hi all,

Just a small update to v1.6.2 today. Recommended if you want to fly with an accurate weight for that furry companion you sometimes take for a ride on the front seat, or if you plan to get the new livery pack (which we've created following many requests from Xboxers) from the Marketplace.

To install version 1.6.2, please click the "Comanche Check for Updates" shortcut in the "A2A Simulations" folder in the Windows start menu. If you prefer, you can also redownload the installer from your account on our store, or from wherever you purchased the Comanche.

Updated Thurs August 8th, 2024

Version 1.6.2 Changes
  1. Fixed to/from flags in GPS OBS mode.
  2. Fixed small area of protruding mesh when stabilator tips fitted.
  3. Updated tail number font logic for compatibility with livery pack.
  4. Reduced minimum selectable passenger weight to 10 lbs/5 kg to allow for dogs or cats!

Updated Sat June 1st, 2024

We're excited to release the v1.6.1 update for the Accu-Sim Comanche 250 which adds the option to fit the excellent 'falcon71' KLN 90B GPS. When this option is selected, an AK-950 remote annunciator is also installed below the VSI. You'll need to install the KLN package (it's free) before it can be selected using the tablet. You can find out more and download it here: https://github.com/falcon71/kln90b. If you already have the KLN installed, please make sure you update to at least v1.3 of the package.

The KLN 90B is nicely suited to the Comanche and has some nifty features for sim use like direct keyboard entry in cursor mode. Please note that it won't work if you have the additional "pms50-gtn750wtt-aircraft-a2a-pa24" folder in your Community directory for the PMS GTN 750. If you do have this folder present, please delete it from your community folder as native WTT mode for the PMS GTN 750 is now included with v1.6.1.
