A2A Simulations pilot, flight simmer and owner Scott Gentile takes you on the walk around in the Accu-sim Comanche 250 for Microsoft Flight Simulator. A2A Simulations Website; a2asimulations.com/ A2A Community Discord; / discord
This is unbeatable, to have an actual pilot share his knowledge in video and his software engineering skills to build a simulated aircraft from the ground up.
Just bought the Comanche on the Marketplace for Xbox. I've got to say, your video and the plane really takes me back to my first flight instructor taking me around an old Piper Warrior in 1978. What a wonderful feeling after all these years.
Great video - can always learn a few little tips that I hadn't realized from these videos. So interesting the subtleties, with the flap ever so slightly more worn. Will be very interesting if we get an operation/cost/repair model to it - showing the costs to fix, and a time factor as an option to fix them. Scott mentioned this might be part of something in the future - excited to have what we have now and intrigued to imagine what could be on the horizon. Great time to be an A2A customer.
Wonderful sim, You're not just enjoying flying it, but you learn from it, and the best part you care about it as well by maintaining it and inspecting it. Beautiful work you did for this Airplane A2A Simulations, You set the bar high.
I JUST Have to mention! I have owned and certainly have enjoyed A2A's product in the past (spitfire ring any bells)? Microsoft simulators, and those where certainly fantastic back then! Now? This realism is certainly peaking my interest once again. and A2A will NEVER let me go from flight simulators anymore :P (Beautiful Job on the A2A Commanche here scott and team, and i Love it so much)! Never again will i let Scott do my walkaround for me because, i just know he will spoil my day on purpose haha But, he IS perhaps THE most serious of safety when it comes to flying? I feel it already! Many thanks A2A 😁
This was the video that convinced me to buy this airplane. This is exactly what I was missing: an airplane with a soul and personality. You have to get to know it and understand it. Absolutely wonderful
Now I know what to look out for when testing the flaps ... which means there are only 999 other impending failure symptoms still to discover by myself! ;) Great to see the natural oil dilution in action. Those small details are so well thought out. I'd love to see dirt & grime build up over time, especially as a symptom of neglect, but who knows what's still in there to be discovered.
A2A is simply killing it. I've never flown any other aircraft since I bought the Comanche. Outstanding work! I thought fuel draining was only to make the workaround feel real and sometimes skipped it. Why no one told me the water in tanks is simulated? xD
A2A planes are so good that I still buy and use them a lot in P3D. The MSFS Comanche is a jewel. Thank's a lot. This plane is a game changer like no other one.
This is a great add on for MSFS. Had several A2A aircraft back in my FSX days and loved them. I “bought” an aircraft at auction and on a flight from NC to FL developed a major vibration and RPM fluctuation. Was able to divert to Savannah where “the mechanic” identified a bad cylinder. It was such a realistic experience (except for the $$$) that I was actually nervous trying to make it to SAV. Absolutely my favorite GA light aircraft, and that’s saying a lot from a DC-3 fan. 😂 Thanks very much for your work on this add on!
I just bought the plane yesterday, looked through the pdf manual and thought, is there a tutorial pdf? Then I find this youtube video and it blows me away. The fact that it does Microsoft Flaps simulator during the walkaround is just so cool!
Like back in the day .. these videos were always very cool and always sold me, I ended up buying literally every A2A add-on for FSX. Hope you guys port over some of the others like the Cub and P-51. 👍
I bought this the moment it released. I had it for both FSX and P3D, and it wasn't even a matter of debate that I would buy it again. It's worth every cent but, be warned, you'll never fly any of your other GA aircraft again. haha
I've just bought this and the level of detail is astounding. To be honest I wasn't sure all the extra stuff would be for me (more of a strap in and fly sort of simmer) but I'm really getting into the details and doing the walkaround in a nice airfield with nice scenery and AI aircraft buzzing around behind me really brings out the feeling of being in a real living environment. Then, the way the engine reacts in different temperatures, conditions, throttle settings, feels so real and alive. I've never flown a sim aircraft in this league before. I'd love you to do a bush plane next. Until then, I'll be seeing what kind of tiny strips I can get the Comanche into
I'm in awe, I thought I was doing well just following the checklists but you've built in so much more to be discovered ! The most impressive thing though is how you can load the Comanche right up and still be able to completely fill the tanks. I didn't buy this in P3D (one of the few A2A planes I never got) because it looked like just an old GA plane and I had your 182 and the Doctor killer to scratch the GA itch - given that I had a bunch of your warbirds that doesn't make sense in hindsight, I think I missed out ...
As a primarily airliner enthusiast, I have to say the Comanche is my absolute favourite studyware aircraft, the realism is something else. I’m in awe of what you have achieved. Keep up the brilliant work 🙌🏻
Words can not describe how much I love this aircraft and at one time long ago my dad and I and an instructor were on a Comanche where the radios were in the middle. Woow good memorires. PS my fav livery is the one with the green stripes
Love it, as a comanche owner myself, you guys have captured what this bird really feels and sounds like exceptionally. I too get a kick out of the tip tank popping noise. When I first got my Comanche, I thought something was wrong
I love your passion for this Scott. You are like a little kid at times with your excitement regarding this one of a kind virtual aircraft you have created which is awesome! You haven't just created a great product, but a living, breathing, virtual machine for those of us who want such realism in a simulation.
Such a fun walkaround. Be amazing if we could someday open up the fairing and physically inspect things. Such as using a compression gauge and even "mailing" off an oil sample to a lab for analysis of engine wear. But we always think of feature creep bloat to add to anything :D, the Comanche is my favorite GA plane and fantastic job.
I’ve had way more than $49 worth of fun since I bought this 3 weeks ago 😊😊😊..study level to me..all the tuning/monitoring capabilities and fidelity is so worth $49.
Awesome explanation. And it’s so cool to hear Scott’s excitement in the video. Since I got the Comanche it’s been my single go to plane. No flight is like the other. Amazing work.
Thank you so much for doing this thorough walk-around. I wondered what was the point of checking the fuel and you answered that question. I've gained more respect for using other parts of the tablet while walking around. Great work with this product. I'm learning a lot.
Enjoy this one then 😀 Because i have known their product from an earlier Microsoft FS platfom. They are really expanding now. Rest assured also, this will NOT be my last neither on MSFS neither, if they continue on their current trajectory :)
What a glorious creation this is, it moves through the air unlike any other aircraft in the sim. Its a joy to hand fly and a dream to land. £50 for this addon is a serious bargain when you look at entertainment value (in hours) vs cost
I bought this aircraft the day it was released for MSFS, and I’ve flown nothing since. It’s a masterpiece - hands down the finest aircraft in the sim. Every time I fly I learn something new, and I eagerly await new videos popping up on RU-vid. Thanks for this software, Scott !!
Since the release of MSFS 2020 I only flew airliners because GA planes looked so boring and simplistic... Since I bought the p24 I stopped flying anything else... Amazing job guys
This is nuts!!! I just bought a 1959 Comanche 250 and will DEFINITELY be getting this to do some Winter "flying". Such an amazing passion project for you it seems. When I get it and start playing with it, is there a way to provide feedback/questions?
It would be really nice if you had showed how a bad prop looks like and what one can expect to find in the air intake that shouldn't be there. And the wheels, do they change visually when they are worn out? In that case it would have been nice to see that. But perhaps that would spoil the fun? 🙂
It's so much fun to fly the plane. We have been waiting for it for so long and every flight is a dream 😍. There is really nothing here that I am missing, just perfect. Your tutorial videos are great and I like listening to your voice. Thank you for the hard and precise work.👌 Many greetings from Germany 👋🙂
A2a am in love with this aircraft a truly masterpiece, but am wondering when it will be capable with my cockpit and my airmanager gauges and my simionic gauges , then it will be a dream came true 🎉
My ipad airmanager rpm guage and my airspeed indicator doesn’t read the accurate values from the comanche 😢 Am not really expert in lvar and how to use it
I hope there will be a repair option where you are able to repair are part without the need of a full inspection. If you have to click inspect before all other problems are immediately revealed. This kill the emersion. A second option would be at least 3 settings for repairing speed. Real time, faster and immediately. So that you are really punished if you treat the aircraft badly. And a not-allowed-repairing-in-air option.
Congratulations, great work! how do you put water in tanks?sorry, my english is basic and I didn't understand very well when and how water appears in tanks 🙂
A quick question. At 1.10 min. you detected a defect in the flaps and then also detected this defect in the tablet and repaired it. Is this defect always displayed in the tablet, regardless of whether you check the flaps manually or not? It would be great if the defect could only be found and repaired once it has been found using the manual check.
how to add water to the fuel system? Using some developer tools? Do we also have the opportunity to simulate faults and events from the tablet like this? Im flying this plane almost half of the year and never experience water in tanks. Same with the bird nest
Need to check the forums, after the last update, everything clickable in the walk arounds is hyper clicking, makes it impossible to move control surfaces properly. Maybe theres a work around or something I can adjust?
@@ShockwaveProd Thanks for answering! I normally use a gamepad for throttle and pitch/yaw and my quest 2 controllers for flicking switches/turning dials etc. This product looks absolutely stunning and I shall purchase it soon! Thanks again.
We're not sure. Currently where seeing the entire community experience failures like in real life and when it happens people are truly caught off guard. This is real emergency reaction experience. If we made it be able to happen any time, it would take this excitement out. Maybe someday. @@machnumber
