rcmarple Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 Gamechanger. So much innovation and new stuff here and a total surprise - brilliant! A real breath of fresh air and a landmark release no doubt. We'll be saying "remember when Airfoillabs released their 172" for the next decade. Off to check my oil...

Guest Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 I don't often giggle with delight, but seeing all the nice touches in the intro videos turned me into a little kid again! Bought it straight away and can't wait to try it out. I almost went back to FSX so that I could fly A2A's aircraft and now it looks like I won't have to. I had no idea this was even under development! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
