mutley 4,487 Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 A great show report from Pete. John and I met Pete less than two weeks before this show, if only we had more notice we could have been there! Enjoy.. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Coffee 2,030 Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 Looks like a great event.. I'm very much drooling for that Comanche. Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,487 Posted June 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 A2A are saying the Comanche will be the most advanced aircraft that they have built, I sure am looking forward to it! Link to post Share on other sites
Sabre 28 Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 They released the manual for viewing earlier today so it has to be soon Link to post Share on other sites

brett 2,284 Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 I will need to tattoo, "Gear down, Gear down" on my hand. The Comanche looks like a winner and will jump to the head of my list. I wish I could have made the flight sim show, from what I have seen there were a lot of companies showing their wares and who doesn't like to browse through a toy store like that. That Cessna panel was pretty sharp looking but for seven grand the panel face was a bit boring being plain white with not even a glare shield. Then again you can always spruce it up. Always entertaining seeing Froggle Pete, I have seen all his videos and his enthusiasm is catching. He has done much for the sim world. Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Coffee 2,030 Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 haha Brett, I'm just the opposite... I hit the gear/G button on fixed gear aircraft. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Christopher Low 63 Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 It's great to hear that this year's FlightSim Conference was a big success. It would be nice to see Froogle at Cosford Link to post Share on other sites

It would be nice to see Froogle at Cosford Unfortunately that will never happen, I've heard it straight from the horses mouth. Link to post Share on other sites
SEATAC 400 Posted June 20, 2015 Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 I was there exactly one year ago. Fantastic flight museum. They got a B-29! Link to post Share on other sites
MyPC8MyBrain 273 Posted June 20, 2015 Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 you gotta give it to that mug; he knows how to keep your mind intrigued and he doesn’t even serve coffee while doing it! Link to post Share on other sites
Exploding Pigeons 0 Posted June 20, 2015 Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 Ive flown the Comanche for a few hours now and it is incredible. Froogle was correct saying this is the best GA ever made. I haven't even touched the auto pilot, its a joy to hand fly Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,487 Posted June 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 Thanks for the feedback Tristan.. What's an auto-pilot? 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Coffee 2,030 Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 Finally got round to using the AP. It's the same as on their 180 Piper, so pretty familiar with it. I'll not be trying any kind of ILS landing with it...it seems a bit sluggish, as does the 180's. But for a Nav/Hdg and Alt hold...it works Great! Link to post Share on other sites
brett 2,284 Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 Definitely a 50's era AP but it does let you rest your hands a bit once trimmed and on course. No sleeping at waypoints either with the HSI. I actually enjoy it more as it forced me to be more flight aware. Link to post Share on other sites
Cavok 1 Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 Hi, Looked like a great event. Nice to see faces. Froogle's video above lead to browsing more Youtube. I found the following to be particularly interesting.
