After flying the WoP 3 P47 for three straight months and now that it is out, I took the big old 377 up last night. When you get away from a project for a period of time and later step back in, you see things more objectively. During development it's always about what is wrong, what needs fixing, completing, etc. Now I see it not for all it isn't, but for all it is. I can see even more today why so many love this Stratocruiser. The sound of the engines in all the various settings is fantastic. The paint, systems, etc.
It's wonderful that are gorgeous girl (yes, sorry, she is mighty pretty to these eyes) has so many fans. On behalf of our flagship, we all thank everyone for making this release so magical.

Re: Boy, I have to say...
I just can say that I have the same feeilings after some week of flying the P47.
Cool, that I'm not alone

Re: Boy, I have to say...
Same with me. I have enjoyed flying both but it is great to get back to the B377.

Stratocruiser is the Accu-Sim's Mother, she will always be unique in that way. You guys at A2A have chosen the best aircraft ever for the 1st Accu-Sim package.
Thanks for making the simulation NOW as real as it gets! Though all my other airplanes now are boring, no challenge lol

(still waiting news about the second Wings of Silver product, any update on that? as little it could be )

Re: Boy, I have to say...
We now have the best combination. When my time is limited {most of the time!}, I hop in the P-47. If I can dedicate a couple or hours, the 377 is my choice. Fantastic product, the detail is unmatched.

Re: Boy, I have to say...
They are both such big, bad machines in their class. I enjoy the sheer size and feel of them, high altitude performance, etc. It was something after flying the P47, to then have four r4360's.

Re: Boy, I have to say...
There is nothing like the big radial's. I hope you guy's consider doing a turbocompound r-3350 airplane[ DC-7 or Connie ].
Re: Boy, I have to say...
The DC-7 would be good. How about the Martin Mars ? or even a Grumman Albatross or a PBY ?
Re: Boy, I have to say...
We've already had a large long distance 4 engine beast... We've just been presented with a single engined monster...
Time for a sweet twin. DC-3 would be my choice as it's ubiquitous, still current in places and one of the landmarks of aviation history. Failing that, a DH Mosquito would do.

Re: Boy, I have to say...
Oh no, twin engines have been done by these guys before. Something "new" and exciting: the Ford Trimotor!
Re: Boy, I have to say...
Oh boy, DC-3 or Ford Tri-motor, hard to choose
But I second for the Ford! Though DC-3 was my first choice

Re: Boy, I have to say...
Oooooh... Hadn't thought of trimotors. In which case I'd sooner see the Junkers-52.

Re: Boy, I have to say...
I would have to agree that thanks to A2A almost every other aircraft I have is exceptionally boring. Nothing really compares to the 377 or P47 as far as personality and pilot work load goes. I either fly those 2 aircraft or my MD-11. For me flying something without the procedures/realistic failures just isn't fun anymore. So keep up the good work, and glad you could find new life in an old project.

Re: Boy, I have to say...
Your aircrafts are all fantastic!!!
I even say, you don't have to wait for reviews or opinions of other virtual-pilots.
Any aircraft that A2A produces you can buy without regreting it...!
I'm one of the biggest DC3-Fans, so please the next A2A Aircraft has to be the DC3!!!
An if not, then please the Junkers 52, it is really a quality product of my home country!

Re: Boy, I have to say...
Ford Tri-Motor was really a pretty boring airplane. Low, slow and clunky. It would be good for about two hours of enjoyment, that 's it. Got to ride in a real one in 1979.
An FSX version of the B-25 with acu-sim would be great! And I like the idea of a Super Connie, one of the world's all time most beautiful aircraft.
