The A2A B-17G with Accu-Sim has been released

[Gypsy Baron]

A2A just released the Accu-Sim package for their WOP2 B-17G yesterday.

Here are a couple of screenshots. The FLAK effects are created by an addon
package that I uploaded to Sim-Outhouse yesterday as well.

Thanks Dave. I forgot there was a special payware section since I usually only read the CB and CNB forums

No prob Amigo

I loved the WoP B-17 but I'm not sure I could go for the Accu-Sim version. Nice to have the option though and you don't have to go for Accu-Sim which suits me. Keep it simple

Actually, with the ability to hand off the mundane things like the intercoolers, props, and cowl flap management to the Co-Pilot, it's really a breeze to fly since all you have to do is manipulate the yoke, pedals, and throttles. In addition to that, Scott has produced another great set of "how to" videos that made my first flight a breeze. Put 1.4 hours on it without a single issue but a little plug fouling from idling too long before shutting down and forgetting to scavenge the engines. Had I done that I think it would have been as perfect as could be.

I think they've done a great job of giving you the realism of AccuSim while understanding that you're just one person.

What does it sound like?
Does it fart and bang when warm? Do all the bits and bobs make real sounds?
Does the canopy fog at altitude without heating? Do you pass out with lack of oxygen?
Do you get 360 degree enviroment sound?
Does it sound sweet :-)

I have the p47 and it does all that and more. Wondering if the B17 is the same, or a compromise.
After all the model has been out quite a while. I'm wondering whether some compromises were made?
I have the B17 without accusim and it's okay but nothing `special`, not as special as the 47 IMHO.
Still looks nice in Sally B colours though.

how do you think it'll fly above 5,ooo feet...?

DogTail - Haven't tested it all, but your answer is yes on all counts. The AccuSim engine for the B-17 is a follow-on to that of the P-47, so it has all of the features present on the P-47 (where applicable) and then some.

Joe - I think it'll fly fine above the "lazy" altitudes that they typically fly today at. The pictures and reports I've read say that on a light load it easily achieves 20,000 feet and you do have to pay attention to the oxygen or your crew will let you know. Dunno if you black out yet, but on the P-47, if you don't turn on the oxygen, you'll pass out.

great , now I have a better Idea of the problem
it's the radar the wacked.

Got this yesterday. Rather nice







They've done a good job with the virtual crew so it doesn't overload the single pilot.

Just a shame it's not a Lancaster
