And an eternity is two or three years after you passed 70 (71yo here).Buffy Foster wrote: ↑20 Aug 2020, 14:00 As eager as I am to have my nice A2A planes in MSFS, I'll wait till A2A is ready to release the best possible ones, not just quick ports in legacy mode.
Besides, flying the default planes for awhile will make me appreciate the A2A ones even more when they come out.
A2A is the only designer of warbirds, nay of excellent warbirds. To put it bluntly I’d rather have my beloved T6 or 51 sooner with the legacy architecture than never with the new architecture.
GA : to see Carenado releasing a Skylane now when there was nothing closer than the Aerostar on the A2A radar screen was frustrating for an old customer like me ( currently 8 aircraft plus a couple of them before FSX). I’d say that the A2A Comanche or 182 even with the legacy architecture would be better.
I know that the Aerostar will be a great aircraft but honestly we need a couple of A2A « oldies » to wait for her. I am selfishly glad to hear A2A say they look into it now.
And thanks to @harryvoyager for raising the issue,
One thing to remember, Carenado releasing their 182 most likely has an extremely small fraction of code compared to a well simulated A2A model aircraft. They are essentially re-skinned default airplanes. A2A will release something once they have had time to make sure that all of the kinks can be worked out and release a quality product. One thing to remember is that the guys at A2A have worked for years to build the reputation that they have now of being the absolute top shelf General Aviation aircraft on the market. They would not want to tarnish that reputation at all by trying to "hurry to market" with something that is below their regular standards. Patience is well worth it in scenarios like this.
