The A2A Simulations Community

Hi, I'm a big fan of A2A and have several planes. As a matter of fact I only fly those planes in the Prepar3d version of Flight Sim. The 172 is much more realistic than any of the stock aircraft in FS. I'm actually waiting for some addon aircraft to be released before I get the new Flight Sim 2020, ...

Hi, While flying the A2A 172 I noticed my mixture knob was not fully in using the CH Flight Sim Yoke. No problem with the mouse, just the throttle on the yoke. I went into control calibration and the Rx axis shows full defletion (o-255). I calibrate, but when I return to the sim the knob is fully in...

Hi, I'm a big fan of A2A and have the Cessna 172, Cherokee 180, and Cessna 182 Skylane for Prepar3d. I'm also thinking of getting the new Flightsim 2020 but I'd hate to give up my A2A planes. Any chance there will be versions of these three planes for FS 2020? Thanks

Hi, A few days ago I saved a scenario with the C 172 in a cold and dark state in Prepar3d ver. 4. When I opened it to fly the plane I noticed my Payload/Fuel window (Shift 4) was at the bottom center of the screen and extremely small at about 1 1/2 in. X 1 1/2 in. square in size. I tried right click...

Problem solved! Turns out the black area was supposed to be there. It was part of the walk around checklist that filled in only when the proper selection was made. I'm not familiar with how the window system works so I never noticed the black area that was the unopened area. It was only visible when...

Hi Lewis, Thanks for the help. I have Prepar3D version 4 and a two monitor setup with my main flying monitor and a second that I only use for displaying other windows such as those with the Cessna 172 in order to save space on the main screen. As long as I keep the windows docked on the main screen,...

Hi, When I first opened the Preflight Window Shift 8, it was fine. I right-clicked it to choose undock so I could move it to another monitor and about half of the windows area turned all black. The Preflight window was all there but a large attached black area became part of the whole window. I trie...

Hi,
Is there a Gyro winding down sound in the 172? If there is I can't seem to hear it. Just curious. Thanks.

Hi, I love the C172 and am in the process of getting better with the KAP 140 autopilot. Is there any way to have the A/P on with some features enabled and to still be able to turn with the yoke? It seems the only choices are no turns while in Roll mode or using the Heading bug to make turns in Headi...

Thanks for the quick reply.
I did try to open the window on the main monitor. The only way I was able to re-open the window was to reload the plane. Thanks

Hi, I am flying the C172 on a new system with a main 27 in monitor and a smaller 18 in one that I use mainly to move smaller windows to such as the walk around checklist to save room on the main flying screen. While opening the walk around checklist window (Shift-8), it quickly flickered on and disa...

Thanks for the help, guys.
Installation was a breeze and flawless. Tom
