[Lewis - A2A]

Hey guys,

Scott and Cody are featured on this weeks FS Podcast from FSBreak.

I'm a big fan of these podcasts, they give out some great info and are brilliant to listen to when at work or at home. I suggest if you like the first one you listen too then definatly listen to them all!

I really enjoy these podcasts and it was very exciting to hear the interview with Scott and Cody.

Great stuff - Thank you.

I would love to see a GA airplane with VOR and NDB instruments made by A2A, so I was intrigued with the talk of the possibility of a Beechcraft V-tail in the future.

I listened to the podcast.It was very interesting and great to hear their voices on there.
Quite a long interview I laid down on my couch and listened to it.

Man, I NEVER sound on tape like I sound like in my head.... Sheesh.

You read my mind. Someone asked me the other day what plane I'd like A2A to do next and I said Beechcraft Bonanza V-tail! I'm an A2A J3 fan. He's an A2A P-47 fan and wants an A2A GA, too. Think that'll be a sales leader. Many think the J3's too slow and aren't interested in flying Warbirds.

I agree, I have a feeling that A2A would get their name out to A LOT of new potential customers and make a highly successful sale if A2A made a new GA airplane (something larger and faster than the Cub, like the Beechcraft).

I know I would buy it in a heartbeat.

Thanks for the link to the interview Lewis. A great insight into flight sims and development, and above all A2A.
Superb stuff and very interesting. Plus I've never heard of FSBreak before.


One of the guys on there brought up a stealth fighter sim from Microprose from years back, and flying under and around radar sites to get to your target. Yes! I remember that so well. I miss that sim. Damn I feel old lol

[Lewis - A2A]

prolly asked this before but were abouts in suffolk are you?

Great interview on FSBreak.com!
I was very intrigued by the detailed information on the Accu-Sim Expansion Module.
These planes are given a 'soul' just like real planes have.
I love the amount of realism and detail A2A puts into their products.

And.. concerning the Bonaza V35 I say go for it. And don't forget the wingtips!

Oh man, the Bonanza is my favorite GA aircraft by far.

If you guys end up doing it, I would absolutely love to be on the beta team for it.

The only plane I want for FSX more than a nice Bonanza is a nice T-6!

Great interview, I really enjoyed getting inside your heads a bit.

One of the best things about the flight simulation hobby, IMHO, is the passion the developers bring to the table.

Kudos!

Great interview...I've been listening to the podcast since they begun and it's been hugely informative...I can definitely say it was nice to have Scott bring in a little of the combat sim flavor to the show. I can remember back to the old FS2 and it was the WWI combat mini-game that I kept going back to. In fact it was the Accusim P-47 and 'FSbreak' that got me largely back into flightsimX. Prior to that it mostly the CFS series so I'm still itching to shoot something down in FS...but from the looks of it that may happen too someday. Check out this link

Can't wait for the Accusim P-51!

Loved the interview. I used to do some programming back in the day and I found that there is a wide disparity of talent in the field. Most of the time when a programmer tells you something is impossible to do; the truth turns out to be that impossible is only true in about 10% of these cases. Scott has confirmed my bias. So in that vein I would like to ask about docking a float plane. Currently in FSX you either have the choice of turning off crash detection whereby the floats will pass through the dock, or you can have crash detection on and risk the possibility that, despite a speed of only a few knots, you come within a couple feet of the dock, set off a crash resulting in your flight ending. I would much prefer that the plane could actually bump into the dock. Do you think this is something that might be possible?

An A2A Beechcraft Bonanza V-Tail?

Let me put it this way: where can I prepay??!

Haven't listened to the interview yet. Will do tomorrow, but what I'm reading here definitely sounds promising.
