Real 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 an 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 simulation just as
they do in real life. This is Accu-sim - it puts the gauge back in the game. 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 professional 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. Introducing our first Accu-sim Expansion Pack for the Wings of Silver Boeing
377 Stratocruiser B377 Accu-sim Expansion Pack FEATURES * Piston combustion engine modeling
o Real-world conditions affect system conditions, including
engine temperatures. Manage temperatures with engine cowl flaps and oil cooler
flaps.
o Use intercooler flaps to cool Carburetor Air Temperatures
(CAT) as high temperatures can adversely affect engine performance while low
temperatures can lead to gradual carburetor icing.
o Spark plugs can clog and eventually fowl if engines are
allowed to idle too low for too long. Throttling up an engine with oil-soaked
spark plugs can help clear them out and smoke will pour out of exhaust as oil is
burned off.
o Serious overheating can cause scoring of cylinder head
walls including ultimate failure if warnings are ignored and overly abused.
o Realistic water injection (ADI) turns on gradually when
enabled. Pushing the engine too hard without water injection automatically
injects more fuel to keep cylinders cooler, creating realistic black smoke from
unburned fuel.
o Experience authentic asymmetrical drag when operating
various flap systems in flight.
o On hot summer days you will need to pay very close
attention to your systems, possibly expediting your takeoff to avoid
overheating due to radiant ground heat. * Systems are influenced based on real world conditions.
* Experience a realistic startups with an engine that can cough and sputter
until it catches and turns over.
* Naturally speaking crew (American and British crews included). Your crew can
help you, the captain, fly the plane by giving you critical information when you
need it. For example, the Stratocruiser has a built-in takeoff flap warning
system that sounds if you apply more than 3/4 throttle and the flaps are not set
to takeoff position. If you apply throttle with flaps not properly set and hear
this warning, your copilot will make a comment like, "Captain, you need to set
your flaps to 25 degrees for takeoff." Your flight engineer gives you advanced
updates on systems, giving you time to react. Crew speech is not robotic but
quick and natural. This system was created to help you fly the plane, just like
a real crew, and to make your experience more pleasurable.
* Environmental sounds including everything from passengers to brakes squealing
to the aircraft creaking. Please note: Due to the in depth simulation of the Boeing 377, shared cockpit
multiplayer is not supported To truly understand Accu-sim one must experience it. However the next best
