A lot going on behind the scene is for the professional training market at the moment, but we do have some new consumer side updates coming for everyone here 8) 8)

That would be great Lewis. It’s getting a bit quite again here.

Very quiet in here. I once joked that I might die before I get my big radial warbird. It could happen. :mrgreen: Seven pages of website update comments makes me sad...

My personal favorite Accusim plane would be the SR22T. Generally I would like to see something modern in the GA line.

Hi,
It is a secret airplane in development, that is why it is quiet. Have you heard of a loud secret? :mrgreen:

Well, it is kind of fun to daydream about the possibilities, isn't it? Keeps us thinking we have something (presumably) great to look forward to.

Let’s just hope it’s not so secret it can never get released...

@Lewis, is it possible that whatever plane(s) you are building for the professional training market will make it to the consumer side? Presumably the commercial efforts are being paid for by the commercial entities, but will contracts allow retail sales of these same aircraft? Or, on the down side, would A2A efforts on such planes exclude A2A from ever offering those airplanes?

I think I know what one is and it would be one I would be very interested in getting and bet it would be very popular.

Unfortunately the commercial works are not easily releasable, as consumer software is very different. Even from the get go at having an installer and manual all the way to the simulation itself.

An example is the Spitfire IX which has systems and flight models in place but it designed for the spitfire cockpit, so there is no cockpit and no full consumer external model, as it all plugs into the very specific actual spitfire cockpit that Richard and AirTech managed to build using actual spitfire parts.

We will be looking to release to public what we can but it is a project in itself to create a consumer product out of the commercial work.

thanks,

This is all a bit pathetic. If you are still in the game of making P3D product then commit to something rather than all this smoke and mirrors nonsense. We had so much bull served by Scott a year ago and nothing yet to show for it. It seems to me the business is seeking its income elsewhere and so should we. X-Plane is on a deal with Orbx and I am off. Your product development was slow as it was, but now your resources are elsewhere it has become a joke. Shoot me down if you must but a bit of honest customer feedback is overdue here.

What is it that you seek? A2A like the vast majority of add-on developers keeps their plans close to their chest until they are very certain that a release is imminent.

Are you seeking a specific type and release date to be published? Maybe they aren't ready to do so yet. In the meantime, they continue to provide excellent support and regular updates and sometimes even new features with these free updates for their existing line of products.
