dumb question, fuel valve open (between the two seat) ? be carefull they are three position lever, and depending if you havn t filled your tip tank and may be using(empty) tank ? Tiptanks are horizontale positions, for main tank it must be on verticale position (if your aircraft isn’t equiped of tip tank there must be a off sticker)
I have to agree with you on the trim behaviour. Using the Velocityone wheel, I think it feels the most intuitive out of any aircraft in my hanger.
That’s a good thing, as I reckon you’d end up with a right arm like Popeye if you had to be spinning that handle thing all the time in real life! 
I will check it out but that is probably the issue with mine. Thanks!
Don’t forget about carb heat, friends! Engine stopped responding to throttle as I was parking after about 3-4 minutes of taxing with low rpm. I immediately turned the carb heat on, and in about 10 seconds I could control the engine again. I think it was carb icing. I keep forgetting that it is different from airframe icing and happens in much warmer temperatures. So lucky to get this reminder on the ground and not in the air on approach.
Best aircraft addon so far, hands down.
@NiKoTin3420 This was the issue, I was able to get her started up and go fly some circuits. Man, this plane feels nice, the FM is unreal, time to go put some hours on this beauty.
It is worth noting that the tip tanks share a single fuel gauge with a toggle to switch which tank is being monitored just below the main panel.
It will move, it just takes several seconds. Make sure the fuel tanks are switched on and the mixture is rich. Give it a little throttle.
How can it be unusable when I and many others use it every time we fly with Comanche being the exception. It’s not unusable is the answer you are just contradicting what you are trying to argue against and that is it’s a personal reason. This stuff is subjective so in my review it’s a fail and therefore goes in the cons column with the autopilot.
For those suggesting that having a different flight model is akin to breaking compatibility with the sims builtin method for adding fuel, it’s not at all the same. There is no impact to the user having a different flight model, it’s seemless and an example of how to implement something custom that doesn’t interfere with workings of the sims default control schemes. That’s not so for adding fuel.
Let me reiterate that I like the Comanche very much and enjoy flying it and am just providing some perspective to the view that it’s perfect for everyone in every way. It has some downsides that may not matter to some but will to others. It’s for each individual user to decide if they matter to them.
… adding fuel… adding thrust… availing lift… accounting for drag… inducing prop dynamics… and so on… and so on…
If a better method requires circumventing stock functionality, that’s the abject inverse, of fail.
The main two downsides you see are:
There is nothing wrong with wanting a faster plane with a modern Garmin suite and modern AP with FLC and VS, and nothing wrong with wanting to have every aircraft you own use default MS systems so you can flip between them easily. HOWEVER that just means this is not an aircraft you should be considering - go and get the Black Square TBM 850 or some such instead.
For anyone that does like what the Comanche offers and has recently got one - this recent video that came u on my feed today is an excellent run through of an IFR flight in the Comanche:
The one you get is the one that is in Scott’s Piper Comanche, ie. the one he owns, looks after, flies, and knows in detail. One key reason for the living accuracy of the plane is because you’re buying a simulation of Scott’s own plane. If you haven’t seen them I recommend watching some of his videos on how they’ve simulated unusual amounts of detail that only an owner would be able to do.
Asking why they didn’t simulate a different autopilot is almost the same as asking why they didn’t simulate a different, perhaps more fun, plane. It’s because A2A simulated what they have, not what they haven’t got.
If Scott ever upgrades the autopilot in his own plane perhaps we’ll get the upgrade too . 
Same here. There is nothing else that comes close to in the GA realm, and yes, I have purchased and flown a lot of the other offerings out there.
If the tablet-based fuel method is the biggest “fail” you can think of with this plane then I think A2A did a pretty ■■■■ good job with this.
I’ve already acknowledged a few times that the aircraft is good and never once said it was bad. If it not being compatible with the built-in tools is a minor thing for you that’s fine but accept it is for someone else to call it out if they don’t like it. That’s all this is, no agenda just saying it how it is.
PC user here… how in the world do you update the airplane? I can’t find anything in my start menu, and re downloading it says I have to use Add or remove? Can someone help?
Search for Comanche Check for Updates.
I have this in my start menu
Where did you buy your copy ?
I’m still one of those 
I’ll fly some twins or turbo’s occasionaly if I want to go faster and higher but I’m always left feeling unsatisfied so end up going back to the Comanche 
Example: Fly in any standard plane from A to B and land. After landing, say that you don’t want to refuel but just swap some cargo and go on to C. As soon as you touch a payload slider in the default fuel window, the fuel reverts to what it was when you started at A. This is unacceptable and buggy to no end. Also changing numbers in a payload station, if you want to leave a 0 by deleting another digit that stood before the 0, you have lost. You have to type in the 0 to get it saved or else it reverts back to the previous value. It is a pain to use and just because other people are used to pain, doesn’t mean it should be that way. There is a reason why other devs use tablets, it’s because then it works as it should and how you would expect it. Or saying it with your “realism” argument, if you change a single pound of payload after landing, do the tanks of an airplane magically fill up to 50% or so? Is this how it works?
When I don’t touch the fuel values then I don’t want the fuel values to change when in the load configuration. Simple as that.
@RagingWombat839 I suspected that the outopilot is fitted because it’s in their own plane. I know A2A since time immemorable and have also flown their FSX planes and I really wish they would bring the 377 back.
There’s your answer I think. Though I should test to confirm.
