A2A Aerostar 600

I’m pretty certain these are the only two planes I have that do this.

Agreed. I complained about this a long time ago but nobody else seemed concerned at the time

Are there setups that don’t show this?

I have a Velocity One flight stick, and I have to trim using buttons for every aircraft in the sim. The trim wheel just does not work. You are not alone!

For me the Aerostar is one of the best aircraft in the sim. The “bump” is a minor thing.

I use the Velocity One FlightStick as well. I use the trim wheel in every a/c I fly in the sim it works well.

Here are the relevant settings I use:

  1. On the Flight Stick I have the Trim set to Analog Axis
  2. In sim I assign Axis 8 to “Elevator Trim Axis (-100 to 100%)” (Might need to be set reversed depending on the a/c)

I hadn’t noticed until I just checked the control assignments but the trim wheel doesn’t get recognized when trying to assign it to the trim command but clicking on the command setting gear wheel allows you to scroll down the buttons/axis list and select Axis 8.

On the Flight Stick you can also set the trim wheel to buttons and assign the Elevator Trim Up/Down in the normal way but that was trimming very slowly in the Kodiak 2024 I just tested it in. Axis works great though.

Same here (Comanche), I was hoping the native 2024 upgrade would fix this, but it doesn’t seem to be possible. Given the outstanding history of A2A, I believe they have a huge credit - imagine it happens with a newly released Famous Flyer by Carenado…

I’m going to try repeating this myself. Thank you very much for the help!

Do you have a video showing this? I fly both A600 and Comanche in FS2024 and don’t see any glitches in the flight model.

I held off on purchasing after reading about bugs/glitches.

Just a quick comment from my side regarding this.
Personally I do only feel the glitches, it is like driving over a cobblestone street. I do not see this on the screen. But in my case I do have a 6 DOF Motion System and can feel the “cobblestones”.

Maybe not as dense but noticable round about once per second.
I do not know how to describe this differently. Sorry
Other than this I think it is a fantastic add-on.
Without motion I enjoy flying the Aerostar.
Just wanted to clear this up from my side.

I don’t have any videos, but came across numerous videos online. Now and then I’m in the mood to fly the Comanche. Will do a video then. I don’t rule out something on my end, and as I said, it’s the only plane with problems like this. No airliner, only GA addon’s,

Good luck. If my post isn’t detailed enough let me know.

I don’t know about MSFS 2024 but I remember that the Comanche had a known problem with sudden small “jumps” that wasn’t natural in MSFS 2020. I even experienced it myself and if I remember correctly the solution was to lower the graphics settings to achieve a higher frame rate.

I haven’t flown the Comanche or Aerostar in MSFS 2024 (not my type of aircraft) so I don’t know if that’s still a problem.

I’ve never seen it in MSFS either and I did over 10,000nm in Comanche, according to Volanta. That’s why I asked about video, just curious what is this big bug that stops some people from buying A600.

Quoting my own post again:

The hitches are caused by something else in the simulator interfering with a thread the accusim is running on. Most likely it’s some addon you guys have running that periodically loads or changes something. For me, it was the littlenavmap EFB client doing it.

This is also why A2A keep telling everybody “not our problem”. Because technically they didn’t do anything wrong… well except for being the only developer with this problem. :roll_eyes:

BTW you can also see the airplane lunging up and down every time you open weather, camera or ATC menu, as these menus unfortunately create a large stutter in MSFS 2024. The “speedbump” problem is a little bit less pronounced, but has the same exact root cause.

I’ve certainly had issues with other aircraft when changing views, opening various tools, etc. but in those cases it’s more of a graphical stutter that doesn’t affect the aircraft’s flight behavior. The A2A aircraft are the only ones that seem to have a “bump” in the flight physics when doing so.

The Wing42 Boeing 247D has a similar issue where there is an occasional hiccup such as described about A2A’s aircraft.

I’ve not seen it with A2A, however.

The flight model is calculated by accusim, not the game. When the game stutters the communication with accusim is interrupted for a moment and once it’s restored the game does update the new location of the plane in space. This is how I understand it. The main problem here is the game stuttering when you open a simple window, not A2A. If FS2024 was working as it should we would not have this problem.

This scenario is the only time when I see the “bump” in the flight physics. I rarely open ATC or any other toolbar apps so it does not affect me at all.

No stutters whatsoever with the Aerostar. Also blacksquare are fine.
Only recent stutters was the stock Cessna 400.
Quest 3 VR.

While flying open the weather window from the top menu, and watch the plane closely.
