I bought the A2A_J-3 many years ago. I've since added the C172 and AccuSim. I run FSX:SE.
I recently saw a video on the A2A channel from Sept 23, 2009 announcing "New Features" for the J-3 available in a patch. It includes a towing feature. I checked the Controls pop-up on mine and there is no towing feature. So apparently my version is before 2009.
Is the patch still available? I can't find any mention on this site. There's a P3D4 update available, but it probably isn't for the FSX version.
If not, is there any way to upgrade the J-3 without buying the new version? I'm not cheap. I just would rather put that money into the A2A_Comanche

Re: Piper J-3 Patch to add Towing
Hi Eric and welcome to the A2A forums.
If you already have the FSX version of the J-3 and 172 installed, it should just be a case of downloading and running the legacy Accu-Sim update from here to make sure you have the most recent features and fixes for both of these aircraft.
Thanks,
Nick

Re: Piper J-3 Patch to add Towing
Thanks for the quick reply, Nick. I ran the Updater. It updated the C172 with no problems, however, the Updater could not find the J-3. I reloaded the J-3 from the original installation exe dated 9/6/2009. It flies just fine like it did before, but the Updater still can't find it. It's installed in the same FSX:SE path as the C172. All the files have a 2009 date.
I pulled up the Controls pop-up for the J-3. In the lower right corner it says Accu-Sim N/A. I believe the Updater listed the Accu-Sim J-3. Is it possible it won't update a non-Accu-Sim version?
I would like to get this resolved, but I'm in no hurry whatsoever. I appreciate your help.

Re: Piper J-3 Patch to add Towing
Thanks, Lewis.
I purchased the J-3 several years ago on the company store, but I have no email records to back up where I might have purchased it. I've been inactive in flight simming for about 5 years and just now getting back into it.
Last month, I registered for a new account as I was unaware that I might have an A2A account already.
I purchased the Accu-Feel software and the C172 on the new store with the new account.
Anyway, I filled out the email information at the link you provided. Again, I'm in no hurry so give the people who run the store some slack

Hey Eric,
all sorted for you on the store, cub migrated across from the old store to the new one. You are all set to re-download. The FSX updater will still be required with the new install.
thanks,

Wow! That was fast and easy (for me). Thanks, Lewis, Nick and those tending the store.
Going to be busy this week. A rebuilt J-3 and a new A2A Cherokee
