What is The Point of the A2A Comanche 250 in Microsoft Flight Simulator? 

What's the point? I don't understand the title. I guess I missed the point.

Your passion about this plane shows, who else would put out a video with such a rotten cold? I liked A2A planes in FSX and bought this Comanche 250 on release, I am not disappointed and no buyers remorse here, unlike with some other planes. This, in my opinion makes MSFS2020 more like the simulator I was hoping for on release and I feel you're right that there will be patches for the damage etc. I am also looking forward to seeing what the livery artists can do with it. Thanks for the video.

It's why I was waiting for 3 years for A2A to release this plane. Put simply, it's the feeling of ownership vs. "let's fly whatever, it has 0 consequences if I fly it poorly." I guess that group of simmers who want to feel like they own their plane is a minority, I dunno. And as a student pilot, I like having to keep good habits sharp, the walkarounds are super important, checking fuel, super important, checking oil quantity and quality, uber important. Run-ups, NEVER SKIP, it really helps make me feel like I'm keeping myself sharp, avoid bad habits for real while I save up to fly again.

Persistance is a big thing for me. I been flying the 172SP since that was my favorite GA in place of X-Plane REP mod. I love how this plane keeps everything, it warms up with the heater as your away from the game. I’m really hoping they do the same with the charger because I’m not really liking the “instant charge” I like things having to take time to get done. Also loving the fact that we don’t have to RESTART THE WHOLE FLIGHT to repair it. That’s a big one too.

I deployed the flaps on the final approach to the runway once. I was flying around Spain just role-playing i just bought an used plane. Suddenly i noticed something wasn't working as intended. The behaviour of the plane with full flaps deployed was weird, like they didn't drop at all. Once landed, i switched to external view. To my surprise, one flap was fully deployed while the other one wasn't. If you set your wear rate to x5 or x10 in the tablet, the chances of things breaking increases.

I had a weird nostalgic feeling and searched for A2A yesterday, saw a youtube about this, thought it was a work in progress, found out it was out, bought it sight unseen, now still waiting for msfs to reinstall. That's how much I love accusim. The passion and passion is the word, behind A2A is and was like no other in the industry. Enough to get me back into simming when nothing else could. I'm buzzing rn and can't wait to dive in.

I almost ran 40 hours in my Comanche and it was a fantastic experience so far. I started to travel along the U.S. West Coast South to North from San Diego. In the moment I stay in Portland Oregon and I had a few surprises. First the internal oil pump died and I had to figure out what caused the trouble. Using the checklist for emergencies could have helped finding it out faster. Almost crashed until in the last moment I saw fuel pressure was down. The other thing to always keep in the back of your head is Carburetor icing. Watch the Manifold Pressure regularly and as soon as it drops without changing anying pull the handle full. Lets see how long i can fly this plane until something critical happens.

The big gap between THIS plane and other MSFS plane is that this one has a real soul 😀 Learn, study, listen and treat her well and she will give you back with hundreds even thousands hours of smooth travel.

I loved Comanche in FSX/P3D, I purchased Cherokee, Comanche, C172, C182 and T-6 = all P3D AccuSim aircrafts. I will buy it soon for MSFS as Im back to FS, but for me it is not systems, but how it looks and sounds. Everything in MSFS works same from damage model as it worked in P3D/FSX, I never used those features and will not in MSFS. If there was some stuff "broken" I do not mind, just repair everything, If I remember correctly I finally turned off those features. Was mad from Airfoilabs C172 in X-Plane when I switched from P3D, they added similar functionality with update and enforce it, no chance to disable it and you was forced to update as it was fixing some major bugs. So it really matter what you want and expect from flight sim. For me it is great fun, just sit in plane, even with engines running ready to flight at runway, watch same scenery, do not mind any rules.. I will bet with you that is majority of flight sim users. Then there are geeks which will appreciate AccuSim features, but it is nothing new, old school simmers know what A2A doing.

l’ve got 50 plus hours on my “world trip” Comanche, new when l started. It’s lovely to take care of it, like it is MY plane. everything feels so realisti cthat l started imagining scratches that l might hve done after a rough lnding in Ethiopia, or a sticker l’d love to put on the cowl… Looove MY Comanche! ❤

This plane and all planes are great from A2A , the storage, maintenance required of ownership and taking care of it. I bought them all in fsx, and will follow with msfs. Would not be without them, and put them in front of any.

Bang on review. 👍

I got recommended this plane by a friend, best thing I bought in MSFS

This was an instabuy, I don't fly anything else now, before it was my Piper Arrow (Just Flight) my only gripe is they didn't add in a co-pilot function. Luckily the autopilot is sound, but I miss my copilot taking over

This add-on is incredible.

i would definitely like to see some structural damage when deploying the flaps at that speed. hopefully they respond to that. does it produce different coloured exhaust based on engine health? i’d love that added as well if not. anyway, get well soon!

Funny, as much as I love DCS and Falcon 4 bms 4.37. I never wanted to fly privately.. You have a very nice setup.. Those sir, are red x items and shouldn't be allowed to take off, roflmao.. The realism is fantastic!!

Get yourself a trackball mouse and keep it on your knee somehow (kneeboard, strap, etc. I used a sort of velcro.) I have one on my right knee and looking around is so much easier.

if i get the chance, i might spend some time around vne and see if i can cause some structural damage.

Yeah a great aircraft! I have a question… it’s not in the manual. What are remarks? The yellow, blue and white light. It turns on sometimes but idk what it is

Can someone help me understand something? When I land and go around, sometimes, the manifold pressure just can't go above 10 inHg. A minute or two later, the engine just wants to shut down. The max manifold goes down and I have to land/turn off. I don't think I've done any damage to the plane, and think that maybe it's something else.

I think the point is to treat it like a study sim. I think its great.

The music in the beginning while you were talking was not a good experience imo

Oh yes, the A2A are known for this level of simulation!

Love your video, but could really do without the music in your intro, very distracting!!!

Mate that music… please this is a flight simulator channel and video, we want to hear you talk about flight simming. We really don’t care for any music, if we want music we’ll put that on later man. It’s really disturbing.

It’s a good aircraft, but it’s still lacking in real feel when flying and especially landing, although in saying that, I think the lack of feel is an MSFS thing, and not so much the aircraft. Go jump in XP11 and fly the SF260 for a few circuits in a light crosswind and then you will understand exactly what I mean.

While I love A2A, If I were to buy the Comanche, It would be the 3rd time I buy this airframe! For someone who has never had a Accu-Sim A2A airframe then yeah I am sure they would find this attractive. Not my case as I´ve had the FSX and P3D version. I think A2A missed a good opportunity to Introduce a NEW airframe for all to enjoy! I wont get Into how much I spent In add-ons for FSX, then came along P3D(x64 bit), and again spent a lot on add-ons for that. This time around I have become very conservative with what add-ons I buy for MSFS2020, otherwise this becomes a money drain real fast, and let´s not speak about X-Plane! 🙃 Also prices have become very accessible, I mean you can get a study level 737 from PMDG for 65 bucks, or now the recent Just Flight Folkker! So what´s the point of spending the same money again?

Nothing unique about how this Comanche flies ? Lol you've got no clue what you're talking about I'm afraid. How this flies is exactly what sets it apart from anything else in MSFS. Not only how it flies but also how it behaves on the ground. The whole physics simulation is externally done and nothing else comes close. Persistence is just one layer of realism you get with this product.

Why complying so much? I have being buying A2A Since FSX so what?

turn the darn music off

I stopped the vid after 2 minutes. Take some medicine, get well and then make a video

Get rid of that music!
