Since the release of Microsoft Flight Simulator, many have wondered when A2A Simulations would enter the platform with their line-up of aircraft. We have known for a while that they have been hard at work with their Comanche 250 for the platform, but they have remained mostly tight-lipped. However, we now know that the aircraft is in the hands of beta testers.
Scott Gentile from A2A Simulations confirmed on their forums that the beta testers are firmly now in place putting the aircraft through its paces. He said, “though beta testing has been underway for a bit, we’re still busy working around the clock adding some exciting new features, so the beta process will still take some time to complete.”
When putting together this short forum post, Scott said that he was struggling to find the words to best describe how the plane is coming along. Instead, he opted to use a quote from one of the testers. This is what user guenseli had to say:
“WHAT HAVE YOU DONE???
Seriously guys, you teleported me into virtual reality directly into that Comanche!
The textures, the vibrations, the sound, this thing is alive!
The tablet is outstanding! These animations are incredible. It’s like having a virtual virtual engine in a virtual tablet. Crazy.
I’m really glad to have another A2A beta after these many … decades? (feels so!) Thank you!
However, I have to start from scratch to learn this engine.”
No release targets were mentioned, but it’s great to see the plane coming along nicely. Scott promises that more information about what to expect will come before the Comanche 250 for Microsoft Flight Simulator is released.
