Spitfire : CloD vs A2A

[tools4fools]

Engine sound? Never sat in a Spit with the engine running, so how would I know?
Same goes for the flight model - how would I know, never flew one of those things.

We can still compare with real-life footage, if we're talking about the engine sound.

CloD A/C looks better

Ground/ terrain in A2A looks better

Can't tell anything about performance comparisons from videos, and I've only played CloD, not A2A

I like them both very much. Completely different approach to the simulation, obviously, but as for representation of the actual a/c, A2A is the winner (mind you I have paid same amount of money for this single add-on as for whole Cliffs of Dover), but as for combat aircraft - you know what I mean

They both feel alright, quite similar in fact. Like a Spitfire. Early one. Lovely stuff.

I disagree with the terrain though - unless you buy and install some 3rd party stuff (OrbX), the FSX world looks quite awful. CloD is much better, but obviously represents smaller area.

I was wondering about one particular detail in both sims - Boost to RPM relation is slightly different and I was wondering which one is closer to the real thing. I'd say that in this particular case, 1C got it better than a2a.

How do you get the zoom in and out to work like that in the second video?

A2A Spit with Accusim and the latest update is the most accurrate model ever created for a FS


have a look in this video
at about 8.16

The problem is that A2ASims/Accusim have almost ruined other aircraft for me. Especially the wear&tear simulation is simply amazing. Yesterday night I took the A2A B-17G from my home airport to London, bad weather, some navigation issues and a couple of technical problems made for a rather interesting flight and an even more interesting landing.

For flying, there's currently nothing better IMO than FSX/A2ASims.

I would prefer CoD than the A2A sim.

It depends what you like to do in a sim. If you want to click tons of buttons and fly the thing to the book by yourself offline, the A2A sim is for you.

If you like air combat and blowing stuff up (me), CloD hands down. Damage model is insane not to mention flying online against other real people

Horses for Courses. I love flying the A2A Spitfire and the FSX-adapted English Electric Llightning in FSX. I love the air combat in CoD.

Right now I have to say the A2A FM and general feel is an easy winner. But it can't shoot down 109s

I use photo secenery in FSX with Autogenerated scenery off (trees, buildings etc). Above a couple of thousand feet you wouldn't know and I set Forest Off on CoD, it doesn't have any value except to allow targets to hide and I don't generally fight that low down anyway.
