Spitfire : CloD vs A2A

[fruitbat]

wonder if it has 100 octane fuel......

As a recent buyer of the A2A Spitfire and Warhawk, I can confirm that they are extremely fun and interesting to fly - and I mean that with all sincerity. If you have any interest in these warbirds, (im guessing we all do here) you have to give them a go.

That said, it's quite a lot of money to outlay. But if you already have FSX, just buy the a2a/accusim product you want, install the freeware airports that most interest you, and you're good to go.

p.s. anybody know why i keep setting my P-40 engine on fire?

Fair question, Fruitbat. You can choose: 87 or 100 octane.

That's a lot of cheddar for a Spitfire simulator that doesn't even have a single bullet.

I decided to try A2A out, buying Prepar3d (Lockheed Martin's FSX since they bought Microsoft their license) instead of FSX, and to try the Spitfire out at the same time.

And wow... that 30 minutes-flight I did with it flying in the Alps... that was an amazing experience! Flying this plane was just pure childish fun. I might have paid a bit for it, but I believe it's definitely worth it if you enjoy flying just for fun.

Well I've bought Accusim P-47 when it came out and CLassic Hangers Fw-190A series. For me they're are fun to fly, they're very well modelled, and they make me "feel" like a real pilot having to monitor all the systems.

I just wish someone would produce a flight sim Accusims level of fidelity and CloDs combat. Not too much to ask is it?
