Just over a week ago we released the Accu-Sim Comanche 250 for Microsoft Flight Simulator and in the days since, the team here at A2A have been overwhelmed by the positive response from our customers. We always thought we had something pretty special on our hands with Accu-Sim 2.0, and it’s been hugely rewarding to finally share this new technology with the community.

However, we haven’t been resting, and today we’re happy to release version 1.1 of the Comanche with the following list of improvements and fixes.

For this initial update, you will need to redownload the installer from your account on the A2A Simulations website. No need to uninstall the previous version as the installer will take care of this. And don’t worry, any accumulated airframe or engine hours won’t be lost.

  1. Added fix for torque spike that was causing very occasional aircraft ‘flips’
  2. Improved compatibility with third-party utilities including FSEconomy and OnAir
  3. Added message on installation to warn user if their EXE.xml file is corrupted
