A2A Accu-Sim Skylane 18 Minute First Look

Here is an 18 minute first look at the soon to be released, Accu-Sim powered Cessna 182 Skylane, from A2A Simulations.

[@jcldano]

I'm new to flying a 182. I fly an older 182M. I used this sim over the last week to practice managing mix/prop/throttle settings for climb out, descent, pattern work. It matches up extremely well to actual flight, and has done exactly what I needed to make for a perfect practice session just yesterday in my plane. Well done!

[@necromental]

I've got to say A2A, the respect you give these vehicles is truly impressive. It's not obsession, it's just supreme accuracy and understanding. Well done team!

[@ArJuna22]

I bought my A2A C182T Skylane Almost a year ago. I have a bunch of the best aircraft from Milviz, PMDG, A2A, Majestic, and others. The C182T is my favorite. A few months back I flew this baby from Venezuela to Homer Alaska. I swear it felt like I really made the trip. I was able to trim this baby out at 13,000ft and sip fuel for up to 1050nm on some flights with some fuel to spare. My scariest flight was from Ft. Lauderdale across the Gulf of Mexico to Austin, TX. I ran into thunderstorms over the middle of the Gulf using real time Active Sky weather and clouds. Those thunderheads rose far above 13,000 feet and if I got near one it would toss me around like a rag doll and a couple times flipped me over. I had to regain altitude and zigzag carefully between the worst of the storm clouds being careful not to run out of fuel doing so. I finally cleared the storm just before seeing the coast of Louisiana. I had sweaty palms at this point. All that dodging of storms forced me to land in Houston to refuel. The entire flight was spectacular. It would have been a much easier flight in almost any other aircraft, but the realism and challenge of this plane was just so much fun. The only issue I have with their sadly very rude and cocky support people on their forums. Not with me, but I've seen them treat other customers extremely poorly, and when it turned out the customer had been right the entire time forcing A2A to create a fix for the issue they were not man enough to apologize and instead continued to try and find ways of blaming the customer. It is for this reason I have not purchased another A2A aircraft to this day. I will keep checking back to see if they ever apologize to this man and until they do I will not spend another cent on an A2A product. I don't even know the guy they treated so poorly, but I was absolutely amazed that anyone would treat anyone so badly, especially a paying customer that turned out being right after taking a beating by these "experts". BTW, A2A. This was a long thread over the P51 Mustang installation program errors. That's the next plane I will buy from you when you publicly apologize to this man. There are four other A2A aircraft I want as well. You guys need to swallow your pride and man up.

[@Andrei5656]

When Scott speaks it's so soothing =) The passion right there, my friends !

[@sol3cito33]

An A2A Cessna 172 and/or 182T with G1000 glass cockpit would be a dream to come true...

[@estoniaman]

+Zsolt Monostori True

[@lampexxl8599]

No, glass cockpit doesn' t look as good as analogue gauges.

[@thefelipelacerda]

true that

[@sunsetarts]

I'll take steam gauges over the glass cockpit any day. The 172 I learned to fly in, was steam gauges, and I guess I'm just too old fashioned. Now I just wish I could transfer the paint job of N1826G, over to the 172. I like green planes.

[@AlexsFlyingClub]

This will be another very nice aircraft addon. Thank you for your work, A2A!

[@nathangray2825]

I was very close to asking for the Carenado 182 for Christmas but after seeing this no way!

[@flyingdutchman700]

Hi Scott. Is there anybody out there in the Sim world still having a shadow of a doubt that A2A sim makes the best outstanding Fs add-ons in the world. Well yeah, probably the simmers that have never tried one. You guys really rock the sim world. Keep it going. * From a thankful simmer.

[@FSAUDIOGUY]

Nice! Looking forward to it A2A! These guys do great work. What a very talented team of designers! WOW!

[@jaimeskiebel]

I am beside myself with excitement! This is THE plane I've been waiting for! Thank you, thank you, thank you!! BTW, you hit the nail on the head with the tow bar. Excellent!

[@beijingpete]

Superb. I look forward to FS2020 versions of your wonderful Accu-Sim aircraft.

[@45631063]

Excellent video of the constructor of the site a2asimulations and of his whole team; Thank you for all this detailed information on the models of cessna.

[@scottellis5645]

Whoever picks the tunes for your videos, has really great tastes! :P Can't wait to get the Skylane up..!

[@death3443]

Cant wait, i allways feel like a little kid on christmas day when i hear that you guys make a new aircraft. Thanks Scott and A2A Team :)

[@45631063]

excellent presentation of the cessna 182 skylane .thank you very much:

[@miamiole]

I still haven't been able to watch this thing completely, your voice soothes me to sleep.

[@signmanbob3834]

I'm sold. Outstanding video. I have the 172 and the Cherokee to hold me until this Skylane is finished, but just looking at what you have in the video, it appears that this just may be a pre-Christmas release. Which would be nice.

[@finsent0]

Thank you so much guys for developing this aircraft! I like your view on the kind of developments. Step by step upgrading your aircraft to a higher level of pilots knowledge. Staying with the basics of flying, but still producing modern aircraft. I look forward to fly it guys.

[@joespeed1952]

Scott, Happy 3 year anniversary from flying 6182F to test the physics. Three years! Wow!

[@MrFsxgeek]

I'm really looking forward to this aircraft. Although I may not receive a pilots license in real life, your aircraft definitely make me feel as if I did, in addition to the amazing physics on your aircraft, you guy really do put quite the effort into creating something that looks just as nice as it flies. Plus, with that wonderful voice from Scott, it just makes the product that much better. :)

[@MrFsxgamer]

That's simply amazing!!! Thank you so much for this handsome Aircrafts!!

[@sirfragsalot87]

Guys you are awesome. I love you for doing the Skylane! :) Can't wait to fly the beauty.

[@oracle427]

An awesome addition to the fleet and I can't wait to try it out. Now I can perfect by tow bar skills without pulling a muscle as an added bonus!

[@mylousjakes9702]

You are the best of highlites!

[@VlassaTudor]

I've buyed this plane last week. I'm impressed. To all the guys from A2A, you deserve big respect. Amazing Product. I also fly Cessna Skyhawk in real life.

[@LotteStarck]

... Also interesting aspects of 2 versus 3 propellers!

[@FlyWithTrevor]

My, oh my... absolutely amazing. I just picked up my HP endorsement and this will be the perfect airplane to put that knowledge to use in the sim. Can't wait!

[@hilgert100]

I ever wanted a so nice 182 Skylane in my Hangar :D nice Accusim. You do the best Job in flightsim Add ons :)

[@adamdougherty216]

Looks like another fantastic product, can't wait for some warbirds next.

[@aneltoro0894]

I hope to see you guys and the quality soon in MSFS 2020

[@afiwubh4go9aiosugb]

Amazing attention to detail! i jut bought the Skylane and the 172 :D

[@MrDuessel]

WOW! Looking forward to take this bird to the upcoming new region of ORBX - Norway....!

[@wokkus5610]

6:36 Huh, I didn’t know that pulling the prop lever back makes a Skype notification sound. That’s interesting :)

[@ipdjbt]

Beautiful!

[@45631063]

thank you very much pour ce cessna skyhawk 182 super! félicitations.

[@fuzzy_bear]

It's great that you guys are focussing so much on light GA. I love my Carenado planes but if you ever did a C185 "bush" variant...I'll start throwing my money at you now. I have the cub, stratocruiser and the 172 and they're all great I just hope you guys dig a little deeper into the rough and rugged... Oh what I'd give for an accusim DHC-2

[@durkadirka]

Cant wait for this!!!

[@fabiobonoldi2394]

Fantastic!!!! Congrats A2A!!!!

[@samv9416]

Thnx A2A you have made dreams come true

[@twhdvm]

Professionally produced video, guys. I hope you guys can partner with Mindstar and offer a G1000 panel option in the future.

[@connorAv8]

Beautiful

[@belgeode]

Wow. I do not mind saying it, but you guys' stuff blows the pants off of Carenado! I am usually one to mod my aircraft to get them just the way I want it, but it is looking more and more like no mods will be necessary to this sucker. Well, truth be told I will likely mod the pilot texture. I generally like my pilot to look like ME, and let's face it... no one makes aircraft with black pilots. Hee hee. I am planning on buying this aircraft within the next couple of weeks! I think you have sold me here.

[@Kev376]

BelGeode why would you mention the C word in this Holy bastion of air awesomeness.

[@ellonysman]

BelGeode ya, some black people would be good...it would give the aircraft some “soul!”🤗

[@1compaqedr8]

Excellent points. Would be cool to personalize the pilots color, body shape, etc!

[@1compaqedr8]

@@ellonysman You're really out of touch to make a comment like that.

[@Matmamtmamtmamtmamtm]

Loving it!

[@classicosdaaviacao3923]

A2A Cessna T210 this will be my dream personally i like the classics.

[@geemailMossman]

Lovely stuff

[@45631063]

Excellent video the presentation very detailed and it is superb! Thank you for all those informations ! congratulations and thank you very much.

[@sunsetarts]

I went a bit backwards. I bought this plane first, (in fact it was my first ever payware plane,) and got used to it, and then later I bought the 172, (cause it can get in and out of places the 182 probably shouldn't,) and I have to admit, the 182 sort of spoiled me. I miss the tow feature when I fly the 172, and I had gotten used to the variable pitch prop. Still, it's fun to mix it up now and again. Some days I'll spend an hour or two with the 182, and then spend another hour with the 172. Of course, once in a while I have to spend some time with my Milviz Bell 407 just to remind myself I can still fly helicopter's too.

[@judetan1549]

Mind blown!

[@cessna182turbo]

yayayayayayayayayyayayayay so freaking excited

[@gothops154]

So exciting!! Any plans for a glass cockpit though?

[@Fly747X]

Nice!

[@NeonsStyleHD]

LOL Scott, the only person who does a better job that you at selling your products is Chris Roberts from Star Citizen; but wow it's close. Love the new plane. A little disappointed it wasn't something a little more meatier, however this will fit nicely in my hangar. Can't wait for the release. :)

[@I_stole_your_Sandwich]

Awesome. Hopefully we don't have to wait too long.

[@ZazaBoeing747]

I can smell perfection, once again! Can't wait to its launch and more modern avionics development!! Shut up and take my money!

[@carterbyers6172]

will there be an amphibious version? i wished the c172 had it but if this one does i might get it instead of the 172

[@ellonysman]

Carter Byers bravo, my question too! Must have floats option

[@georgewhitworth9742]

Well, it seems they don't have access to a float version to accurately model, so someone will have to provide such a plane in order for them to model

[@Mirandorl]

This man loves planes. I love it when he does his "This is not just any engine cowling... this is Marks and Spencers engine cowling" voice: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e3mpfHhshamSbLc

[@luer0211]

Great work!!!!!! I would love to see a G1000 update *hint *hint :P

[@hunterfagan6272]

Holy shit, BEDFORD. That's where I live!

[@JulioBS820]

So with the skylane will you guys being doing something similiar to the P51? Like a steam gauges skylane then a g1000 skylane? Love it can't wait to increase my fleet!

[@MoisesSimana]

I am buying it the second it becomes available.

[@RobiestronyPl]

Please consider glass cockpit addon :)

[@RobiestronyPl]

***** Yep i know, and this is why you are THE BEST and have my love for ages.

[@ThePlaysight]

***** Is it possible that you create a realistic GPS system for this aircraft or the 172? Like Bendix King KMD 150?

[@takeoffgarage5996]

***** so if i buy reality xp gns530 how would i put it on my plane

[@96alpha46]

+brandon morisseau you would use the config tool

[@takeoffgarage5996]

96 Alpha yea i figured it out 2 years ago XD but thanks for the reply

[@vfx7t]

you are the best

[@rembpilot172]

It would be nice if you develop the A2A Aztec E; really nice

[@jonmabec]

Would you consider adding the towing feature to the 172 Trainer in a new patch? A bit annoying to use the default pushback feature in FSX, it makes the plane tip backwards. :)

[@tedwards2k10]

ooooh man! I was soooo excited initially, thinking this was a G1000 cockpit.... love A2A products, but they need a g1000 cockpit.

[@brndn2208]

I like this but I don't know what to get the 172 or 182... The info I found says the 172 is a bit faster.

[@jordancollins7714]

@A2A Simulations what Airport is this video at and where do I get the Airport Scenery? Cheers Lewis/Scott

[@adventurewithdave6160]

A2A should really make a Cessna 208 Grand Caravan.

[@ellonysman]

Wow, you guys are really working me over on your sales pitch! You’re making it hard to even consider any other developers offers!👍👌🤣 This is trueaircradt simulation...details that an arcade pilot would not consider!👌🤓 Can you put floats on this Skylane?

[@Furia40]

I see you are flying the G1000 version on your video but the FSX add-on is an old steam gauges version. Any plans for an A2A G1000 version for the 172 and 182?

[@Underappreciatedclassics]

Guys y’all need to do the Beechcraft Baron 58 G1000!

[@Video-tipsTv]

Very good job! very nice plain! Can you post a link to buy it?

[@96alpha46]

Eli Cohen I would recommend getting it on just flights website or directly from A2A as they both have the cheapest prices

[@Treetop64]

Amazing. Once A2A moved into civvies, there has been little reason to get anything from anyone else, save for perhaps RealAir, PMDG, and VRS.

[@aaronanon3056]

+Treetop64 I'm still flying the heck out of the Level-D 767 and Lago MD82

[@96alpha46]

And I personally love the duke and turbine duke

[@enrique-bz7cy]

Are you guys going to make aircraft or universal enhancements like accu feel for x plane 10 in the future? PLEASE DO.

[@jacksonheydon9174]

Maybe if you added G1000s to the 172R and 182T, I'm currently training in the 172R and it has the G1000 so it would really help if you or someone else made it happen. :)

[@thelowmein9143]

@ 12:32 it appears he is using an electric trim switch, but the actual product has a manual trim wheel down by the cowl flaps. Which one is correct? Or are both systems on the actual aircraft and the sim? I honestly never have the yoke on lol.

[@96alpha46]

It has both in real life

[@Juppie902]

Will there be an option to put a G1000 into the cockpit ?

[@MazdaBass971]

Sold!!

[@firstofficerchris1321]

Hello, I bought the A2A C172 C182 and and the Piper Cherokee 180 off of fspilotshop.com. When I click Shift+1-9, the pop up will open for just a second, then close and I can’t open it until I end the flight and spawn back in. Any suggestions?

[@Senor0Droolcup]

Stop talking and just take my money!

[@EmissionGaming]

Will the Light Switches and Dimming notches be available to use in the 3D Cockpit? I try and avoid 2D Windows at all costs.

[@chrissykes5334]

As with the Piper and the C172, the lighting will be able to be adjusted in the 3d Cockpit.

[@itsumonihon]

these guys are the pmdg or majestic of the gen-av world. i don't think i've ever flown fsx gen-av done as well as the planes these guys make. if you're a student pilot you need to buy their planes. you will be a better pilot for it.

[@theflyinggasmask]

no, they are better, they have real physics, everything is simulated, airflow, and all parts of the engine... i can't begin to explain how amazing A2A's aircrafts are modelled

[@MrAlvarez70]

Hi! music at the end of the video?looking for this track.say please.

[@seristee]

hows about a aerocommander 500 series. food for thought

[@flythething193]

At 9.20 you point to a gauge saying the engine maintains 2400 rpm, then the same gauge shows you lowering the propeller rpm to 2000. Does it show both engine and propeller rpm, or did you missay ? I understand how the blades work concerning pitch and moving air, but unless the engine and propeller is geared 1:1 I guess there has to be one gauge for engine rpm and one for propeller rpm? If it is 1:1 I´m with you, then adding power will only make the blade angle more course thus moving more air and adding speed when set at a certain rpm. That would of course be the case even if the engine-propeller is geared different than 1:1, but then a separate engine rpm guage would be needed I guess, or is engine rpm completely replaced by an indicator for manifold pressure?

[@sadbucket]

kamrataktiv kamrataktiv its 1:1 if you want to think about it that way -_- the rpm is the revolutions per minute of either the crankshaft or the prop which are the only things "revolutioning" and if theyre going different speeds then u have a bigger problem o-o

[@flythething193]

I have some doubts it´s 1:1, but it may very well be so. Many planes have a gearbox to slow down the propeller speed since if it exceeds the speed of sound (or getting close) it loses efficiency etc. For example Rotax-engines have a max rpm around 5500, but the propeller is geared down to about half of that. In case of a constant speed propeller the rpm- gauge only shows the value for the propeller speed (Diamond DA20), but if it´s a fixed pitch propeller then the engines rpm is showned (Eurostar EV-97, Dynamic WT9). That´s just three exemples I´ve got confirmed.

[@TheOutty500]

I would love to see a Brand new Cirrus SR-22 GTS Gen 5 in development from you guys!!!! Like if you agree!

[@InsaneMetalSoldier]

The carenado does pretty good in terms of Flight Dynamics and Avionics realism. But the only thing is that it is exaggeratedly heavy for the FPS. u_U

[@Mirandorl]

As long as they simulate the "falling out of the sky all the time but its ok we have a parachute" function, that will be cool.

[@TheOutty500]

Carenado also does not simulate piston engines real well. At least nowhere near A2A.

[@samworrall6887]

I looked at carenados cessna , I know it isn't the same type it still looks bad compared to this

[@captmax11]

Maybe a 206 next?

[@crichey1000]

What airports are shown?

[@96alpha46]

Please make a 182 Rg

[@45631063]

I'm glad to uload your ad on the Cessna 182 gift skylane recently unfortunately it work very well and I had to reinstall my whole syste and there I found that problems in flight simulator because Microsoft or windows If you could ansver me through my e-mail that would be great tha,k you in advance

[@avitor500]

Why do you dont put the g1000?

[@VictorCastillo-jc5to]

what is this for, FSX or X-plane?

[@jordancollins7714]

why no HSI Lewis/Scott? I thought 182T's had them standard, no?

[@jordancollins7714]

***** Thanks! One more Q if you don't mind. I plan to buy a real POH/AIM...what year is this Cessna modelled after and is it a NAVIII version...there many version/years of the plane and I'm not sure what POH to buy. Cheers!

[@motorpickle6410]

What is the music at the end of the video?

[@Mirandorl]

I like to believe it is titled "Wheeeeeeeeee! PLANES!"

[@uravgyoutuber4747]

Can u do g1000 some times ?

[@xINTENSORx]

Can you please bring this to Microsoft flight simulator 2020? MSFS is desperate for something study level.

[@MrEurocup]

a 182 RG or Turbo RG would is a dream. the 172RG/182RG from alabeo/carenado are wy too cheap simulated

[@Quantiad]

"I'm going to try to do a good job on this landing"... erm, that goes without saying for EVERY landing, surely haha.

[@nickcahill8156]

wait is A2A located in MA? I live like 30min from bedford
