A2A Simulations has just released a couple of updates for multiple aircraft in their product range. The Accu-Sim P-51 Mustang has been updated for both the Civilian and Military versions. The biggest update is for the Accu-Sim Bonanza 35, which saw a comprehensive list of changes.
New additions with the Bonanza update includes the pilot’s operating handbook as a clickspot in the cockpit, a new deviation card for the magnetic compass, and function to the aircraft configuration tool to specify which unit has NAV/COM1 status for dual GPS configurations. Other improvements include the animation on some of the gauges, various bleed-through instances and a whole lot more.
To update either aircraft, you will simply need to click on your Windows Start icon, find the folder “A2A Simulations” and then find the relevant aircraft and click on ‘Check for Updates’. The installer will take care of the rest.
If you’re to learn more about the update, you can head to the official forums.
We recently made a video review of the A2A Bonanza, so be sure to check it out. If you want to buy either, you can head to the A2A Store right now.
