FOR SIMULATION USE ONLY
A
ccu-Sim is A2A Simulations’ growing
flight simulation engine, which is
now connectable to other host simu-
lations. In this case, we have attached
our V35B Bonanza to Microsoft Flight
Simulator X and Lockheed Martin’s
Prepar3D to provide the maximum
amount of realism and immersion possible.
WHAT IS THE PHILOSOPHY BEHIND ACCU-SIM?
Pilots will tell you that no two aircraft are the same. Even
taking the same aircraft up from the same airport to the
same location will result in a different experience. For
example, you may notice one day your engine is running
a bit hotter than usual and you might just open your cowl
flaps a bit more and be on your way, or maybe this is a
sign of something more serious developing under the hood.
Regardless, you expect these things to occur in a simula-
tion just as they do in life. This is Accu-Sim, where no two
flights are ever the same.
Realism does not mean having a difficult time with your
flying. While Accu-Sim is created by pilots, it is built for
everyone. This means everything from having a profes-
sional crew there to help you manage the systems, to an
intuitive layout, or just the ability to turn the system on or
off with a single switch. However, if Accu-Sim is enabled
and the needles are in the red, there will be consequences.
It is no longer just an aircraft, it’s a simulation.
ACTIONS LEAD TO CONSEQUENCES
Your A2A Simulations aircraft is quite
complete with full system modeling and
flying an aircraft such as this requires
constant attention to the systems. The
infinite changing conditions around you
and your aircraft have impact on these
systems. As systems operate both inside
and outside their limitations, they behave
differently. For example, the tempera-
ture of the air that enters your carbure-
tor has a direct impact on the power your
engine can produce. Pushing an engine
too hard may produce just slight damage
that you, as a pilot, may see as it just not
running quite as good as it was on a pre-
vious flight. You may run an engine so
hot, that it catches fire. However, it may
not catch fire; it may just quit, or may
not run smoothly. This is Accu-Sim – it’s
both the realism of all of these systems
working in harmony, and all the subtle,
and sometimes not so subtle, unpredictability of it all. The
end result is when flying in an Accu-Sim powered aircraft,
it just feels real enough that you can almost smell the avgas.
YOUR AIRCRAFT TALKS
We have gone to great lengths to bring the internal physics
of the airframe, engine, and systems to life. Now, when the
engine coughs, you can hear it and see a puff of smoke. If you
push the engine too hard, you can also hear signs that this is
happening. Just like an actual pilot, you will get to know the
sounds of your aircraft, from the tires scrubbing on landing
to the stresses of the airframe to the window that is cracked
opened.
BE PREPARED – STAY OUT OF TROUBLE
The key to successfully operating almost any aircraft is to
stay ahead of the curve and on top of things. Aircraft are not
like automobiles, in the sense that weight plays a key role
in the creation of every component. So, almost every system
on your aircraft is created to be just strong enough to give
you, the pilot, enough margin of error to operate safely, but
these margins are smaller than those you find in an auto-
mobile. So, piloting an aircraft requires both precision and
respect of the machine you are managing.
It is important that you always keep an eye on your oil
pressure and engine temperature gauges. On cold engine
starts, the oil is thick and until it reaches a proper operat-
ing temperature, this thick oil results in much higher than
