So back on April first, A2A released a roadmap which I think everyone just kind of assumed was part of the April Fools jokes going around. Turns out, it’s real and they have some interesting projects that will have some folks very excited while others may find the list less impressive. Let’s have a look and discuss!

The roadmap ahead

A2A Simulations have a reputation for some very intricately detailed general aviation projects (and some classic airliners) for various sims over the years and their plans for Microsoft Flight Simulator seem to be coming together nicely.

The developer plans to release their Accu-Sim Legacy RG550 in Q2 of 2026 so the wait won’t be too long on that one. Next up is an Accu-Sim C172 aimed at Q4. The developer is also looking into the feasibility to do a turbocharged version of their Aerostar.

Then, in 2027, they are planning to do a Accu-Sim Cherokee and Accu-Sim C182.

Other information and commentary

In a brief Q&A, A2A respond to some of the comments that they’ve received. For example, the team hasn’t done any warbirds for the modern MSFS era just yet saying that they tend to be more niche and that they want to build a strong foundation first.

Accu-Sim is, of course, A2A’s proprietary system framework that exists outside of the sim and feeds a lot of detailed information into MSFS. That’s what lets A2A do a lot of really interesting in-depth simulation right down to the individual cylinder heads so these aircraft will be quite in depth – industry leading according to some.

Some folks have criticized the somewhat boring nature of what has been revealed, however, there is a marketplace for high fidelity aircraft like the Cherokee, Cessna 172 and Cessna 182. With Accu-Sim technology, these will be quite a different experience versus some of the more mid-range simulations we more typically see.

We’ll have to see how things pan out as the developer releases these products through 2026 and 2027. Stay up to date here on the A2A Facebook and visit their webstore for more.

  1. The 172 seems like an obvious choice. Not that it’s exciting, but that I think a lot of people would like to have a definitive version of such an iconic plane. It might be vanilla ice cream, but if someone offers you the best vanilla ice cream ever, well…

  2. C172 and PA28 should have been here a long time ago… So hopefully it will be at least for MSFS 2020 as well
