A2A Simulations

A2A Simulations develops aircraft simulation software for home flight enthusiasts and aviation training. Its products focus on aircraft handling, systems and flight performance. The company is known for its Accu-Sim technology, which models how aircraft behave during different stages of flight. Its software is used by hobbyists, pilots and student pilots.

Aircraft Simulation and Flight Dynamics

A2A Simulations focuses on reproducing aircraft behavior in desktop flight simulators.

Its aircraft models go beyond basic speed and climb performance.

The company has worked on simulations that account for fuel economy, distance needed to reach an altitude and performance under different cruise configurations.

This approach was part of its earlier Absolute Realism aircraft line for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004.

Accu-Sim later became a central part of its aircraft development.

The technology includes independent flight dynamics and aircraft systems. These are designed to help users understand how an aircraft responds during simulated flight.

For people interested in aircraft handling, this level of detail is a major part of the A2A experience.

Accu-Sim Aircraft Products

The A2A catalog includes several aircraft developed around its Accu-Sim technology.

One example is the Accu-Sim Aerostar 600.

The company has released version 1.0.6 of this aircraft for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and 2024.

Another product is the Accu-Sim Legacy RG550, which is also available for Microsoft Flight Simulator.

The catalog includes the Accu-Sim Comanche and products covering general aviation aircraft and warbirds.

These products give users different types of aircraft to operate within supported simulation platforms.

A2A has also developed the Aircraft Factory range, intended to serve home simulation enthusiasts with a separate line of aircraft products.

Development History

Before operating under the A2A Simulations name, the company was known as Shockwave Productions.

Its early work included helping developer Tsuyoshi Kawahito with the Strike Fighters simulation.

The company also created effects and aircraft content for combat flight simulation.

Its Firepower project introduced additional aircraft, missions and visual effects.

Shockwave later worked on aircraft for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004.

In 2008, A2A introduced its professional Accu-Sim technology.

This marked an important stage in the company's work on aircraft systems and flight behavior.

The company has continued developing aircraft simulation products for newer Microsoft Flight Simulator platforms.

Use by Pilots and Simulation Enthusiasts

A2A's Accu-Sim software is used by pilots and student pilots for training support and aircraft familiarization.

Its technology has also been used in motion simulation environments, including certified and noncertified systems.

The A2A team includes flight simulation enthusiasts working across development and customer support.

Users can also access the company's support and community forums.

For pilots and aviation fans, A2A Simulations provides a way to study aircraft behavior through simulation. Its focus on flight dynamics, aircraft systems and operating procedures makes its products relevant to people who want to explore more than basic virtual flying.
