This plane (A2A Accusim) has really changed the game for me, - it seems so much more immersive than any other plane I've flown in FSX (haven't flown any other Accusims/COSs yet). I think the fact that you get immediate feedback on landing and have to take care of the gear makes you want to fly well. I let the copilot take care of the engines, which is probably realistic too, - my only regret is that I can't fly into some of the tiny airstrips featured in the VLC airfields packs, - at least at my skill level.

Doing a round trip of the country from Auckland by short hops and I'm in Nelson at the moment, having stopped at Hamilton, New Plymouth and Whanganui. Anyone know someone I can stay with in Greymouth? laugh.gif

I am Friggen Pleased another has payed for the ACCUSIM , The list off freeware paints by for starters 'Jan Kees Blomm' , Jan paints really bring the 'G' to life , yo buy the books and learn the history is a story in itself , Scupper .

17 it is , the Flying Fort outstrips anything in its own legend , as dated it made history , although out built by the 24 most wanted to fly the 17 , read the aircrew comments , they have the good points for both types .. But this A2A is payware gold

Yeah, - I plan to get some more paints before long, - liked your weathered-looking one.

Not bored of the four that came with it yet though, - specially the shiny ones... smile.gif
