Just treated myself to this baby ;D

The 'A2A' P-51. It has been worth the wait. Awesome !!

[Spartan0536]

Damn A2A can make a VC, I wish most 3rd party could do this that well, very very nice, worth the money easily it seems.

[mcguirk2]

Wobbly, that has to be one of the best virtual cockpits I've ever seen. A2A does great work. I was wondering what would happen if you grabbed a hand hold on that black box at the top.

[wobblyone]

A2A and Carenado are going to break me, they are so good.

The P-51 virtual cockpit is about the best I've seen, the A2A Spitty comes close. Everything is clickable and moveable. Beautiful.
The Carenado VC's are as good but in a different way, they have both got it right.
The only thing missing from the P-51 is the smell. I might suggest on their forum that they supply a manual with scent of oil and exhaust ;D
Or a USB mask that gives off different smells for certain situations. (I might patent that)

[Spartan0536]

Even on down to the rivets, I think A2A and Carenado should team together for a few aircraft and split the profits. Then again they both does extremely well alone.

[mcguirk2]

Here's a quick look at the Carenado Caravan HD...

I am waiting for REX Essentials Overdrive to come out before I fly again so I can show you how pretty FSX can look. Just bought GEX North America & UTX North America as well

[wobblyone]

If you have half an hour to spare guys ( ) check out this video.
It really captures the realism of these 'A2A' aircraft.

[Spartan0536]

This has got to be the most realistic FSX flight I have ever seen.

This is using the new REX Essentials weather and textures system.

[wobblyone]

Hell that could be real footage !!

I checked out their website and the freebies look good too. The road and grass enhancements, also the parking.
