OOOMMMGGG Now is Jan could make us some paints ...

I watched the 28min video on it.  Amazing.  These guys left nothing out.  I am looking forward to flying it soon.  They really set the bar when it comes to payware. 

Now if I could just get them to build a helicopter or six......

What can I say.
Something like "Fantastic, as expected" would be a good summary of my feelings so far

I'm not sure since I never had a payware budget( ) but I think accu-sim aircraft are quite FPS friendly.

Well, i just payed $24.99 for this ac downloaded!
Every install is aborted, telling me i dont have the ac and the accu?!
What is going on?

And Daube, you're right about some issues on sounds. I've had a sound folder in on the p-47 and kept getting run time errors r6025. When removed it, no problems. 

They are selling me this
Accu-sim for the Wings of Power 3 P-51.

Then the install tells me i dont have the
Accu-sim for the Wings of Power 3 P-51

Do you read my lips. I call this cheating.
What would you call it?

At the bottom of the WoPIII Mustang purchase page, you have two checkboxes:
- one to include the Accusim in a bundle (and you save 5 dollars on the total price)
- one to tell if you already had the previous version of the Mustang (you save 8 dollars if you can prove that you had the WoP2 Mustang)

So basically, and since I didn't have any of the WoP2 aircrafts (I buy ONLY Accusimed planes from A2A), I just had to tick the Accusim checkbox and proceed to the checkout. Total was something like 50 dollars I believe...

It's an ADDON to the Old P-51

So I go away for a couple of days and then they release it!!! Ah just my luck.

I'll be purchasing sometime soon!

Happy flying

.... This makes the WoP2 P-51, into an actual P-51.  Gauges are better, sounds are from the real thing, and flight dynamics are translated from a real P-51 into the FS one.  The Aircraft systems are like the real P-51, meaning you can't firewall the throttle all the time or the engine blows up

Accusim is a gift from god.  I've flown many payware aircraft that are said by many to be as real as it gets, including PMDG, Real Air, Level-D, etc., and I'm going to say it, but I think A2A has them all out-done in bringing me the most realistic flight simming experience yet through Accusim. 

I mean, it's absolutely mind-blowing what it can do.  The torque from starting piston engine really rocks the aircraft along, and the vibrations when the engine is fouling or running rough totally brings on a new level of immersion.  The hydraulic systems behave so realistically that it almost feels that fluid is actually running through the lines inside the aircraft.  If you're flying a Merlin, the engine actually complains to you when it stops sucking in oil after you roll your plane inverted for so many seconds.  The struggles of starting the engine in cold weather, and the strain you can put onto the starter if you leave it running for too long.  A lot of this stuff I didn't even know was possible to do in a flight sim.

For $25, Accusim is a golden investment that is easily worth more than what you put out. 

You have no idea how much you will LOVE it, trust me

One advise from my side: keep the manual for learning the "additionnal" details. If you want to get comfortable with the aircraft but have no knowledge about it yet, then you should start with watching the videos that A2A has produced. They are the greatest tutorials ever.

In fact, I think I have never read any manual for any of my Accusim planes. The presentation/preview videos were always efficient enough to teach me how to start and use a plane.

These videos exist for almost all of the Accusim planes. They trully are a great source of knowledge. If you are curious, I advise you to take a look to the videos that they made for the Spitfire, especially the one that explains the various existing prop types (yes, for the Spitfire you can actually choose the kind of prop that you want to use: wooden fix prop, two-speeds metal prop, contant-speed metal prop). The explanations are really well made and almost "easy" to understand.

It took me two or three times to really understand everything, but once I got it, I was really happy to finally know how these propeelers are really working. Playing with the Spitfire was even more interesting afterwards. On the Spitfire Mk.I, you can choose between a wooden prop and the two-speeds variable pitch prop. On the Spitfire Mk.II, you can choose between the wooden one and the constant speed one. I've been making quite a old of experiments. Also, the sound of this Spitfire was quite enjoyable.

Anyways, I'm really curious to read your first feedbacks when you will finally get the Mustang installed. Keep in mind the installation order:
- first you must install the WoP3 Mustang.
- then you can install the Accusim extention for the WoP3 Mustang
- and finally you have to install the Accusim core update 1.3.1 that can be downloaded from the A2A forums.

Always launch the installs by right-clicking and selecting "run as an administrator", for safety.

If you have questions, don't hesitate to ask.

Carefull with your RPMs, your engine won't last long if you keep them so high

Holy..
This video shows a hole lot more

Well Daube, this one
"and finally you have to install the Accusim core update 1.3.1 that can be downloaded from the A2A forums."
really messed things up.
Now, i cant start the engine, even keep it going from another ac!? AND i'm not able to delete that update!
Do i have to start all over?

This is just what i've been telling others here. Be aware of the default flight!!
My default is a cessna running at take off (i have no others).
When i go from the cessna till p-51, the engine just shuts down and i'm not not able to get anything running again!
I can go to any other ac and start it up, but when going back, some smoke and then nothing.
I do not wish to have a p-51 at default, i wish to be able to start it up, when i want to fly it. That update, imo, was not what i wanted.
So can i uninstall that update, or do i have to start install the a2a 51 again?

Oh yes. I could start that monster up before the core install!

Bass wrote on Jun 5^th, 2012 at 11:48am:


Delete the "dat" file for the P-51 and try it again after restarting FSX.
The update most likely changed the dat file format and trying to fly
the P-51 with the old dat file won't work. Or it is possible that the dat
file became corrupted at some point.

Thank you Gypsy.
I did that, and now i can start the monster again. Dont know what happend!

Jetprop.
Yes. As you can see in other treads, i always recommend others to make backups, and i certently do it myself.

Daube.
I have printed a hole book out on that p-51 and i can asure you, only a few can beat me telling how things work! And i love that book.

Next problem. Sorry.

I downloaded Enchantress.zip to see if there is some improvements on the textures. But i cant find the ac.
Did all what the readme tells. Checked aircraft.cfg. Put everything into the right place, but no ac!
What could be the problem?

For information, the Accusim Core Update 1.4 is now available for download from the A2A forums.
This patch will impact all the latest Accusim aircrafts: the Spitfire, the P-40 and the P-51. It brings some corrections for the bugs that were found in the Core Update 1.3.1. It also brings some improvements and some additionnal features on the Spit and the P-40, like the sounds of the hot metal ticks when you switch the engine off, or the possibility to remove the pilot when the aircraft is parked.

You just need to install it on top. This time, the flight hours of your planes will be kept  (previous core updates were setting all of your planes to 0 hours, totally new).

Argh, I have not launched my sim since a few weeks ! I'm starting to miss the Mustang. Probably next flight will be a long haul, I want to play with those external tanks... but first, I must get rid of this OnePiece addiction that prevents me from launching anything but a video player on my computer
