A2A Comanche not visible in MSFS aircraft selection

Hi guys, i might be missing something but i have just upgraded the A2A Comanche to now 1.4.3. As seen in the screenshot the A2A folder is installed in the community folder. However, i cannot see the aircraft in the aircraft selection.

thanks in advance for any tipps!

If I remember correctly is under “Piper”. Open the full list and scroll down rather than the search and you should find it in the P’s.

is just not there, i can only see the Just Flight Pipers but no Comanche


Try “Piper” instead of “Pa”?

Hello,

It might be worth checking the integrity of Comanche directory in your community folder, especially if you’re using third-party antivirus software which may have quarantined part of the installation.

If you right click the “a2a-aircraft-pa24” folder and click “properties” it should contain 556 files and 44 folders and be 1.87 GB in size.

Thanks Nick, i had totally different values, i just installed the product from scratch and now i am able to see the aircraft in the hangar. Many thanks for your support!

You’re welcome! Not too sure what happened there, but glad you’re back in business with a reinstall.

Thanks

This is just one example of why Asobo needs a UI/UX designer for its next sim. I installed it and searched for Commanche and got nothing and, as mentioned here, you have to search for Piper.

The entire MSFS UI is not very responsive, clunky and likely designed primarily around am Xbox console platform experience. It’s why some add-ons for MSFS include user interface add-ons such as Pro Flow. It should NOT be needed if a company takes UI/UX seriously.

I agree, a drop down list would be preferred, and the same for controller profiles.

It’s only 1 ‘m’ though :wink:

And for me it shows up for search for “com” (not just “piper”) but it’s the one from their website direct, not that this should make a difference?

LOLs. Yup, that one is all on me and my sausage fingers/dyslexia. Fuzzy search is needed.

SeaDuc.

I have downloaded the aircraft from marketplace and it does not have this number of files. My airplane does not show up in the hanger, i have reset the game and reinstalled the addon, restarted my computer, what could cause not all of the files to be downloaded from the marketplace?

Hello,

If you installed via the Marketplace, the Comanche will go in the “official” folder rather than the “community” folder.

Marketplace installs should be very reliable, although it’s not something we as developers have any influence over, so unfortunately we can’t assist here directly.

However, I’d recommend you search your hangar for the term “Comanche” and if it’s definitely not showing, search the “official” folder for the “a2a-aircraft-pa24” folder too.

You could also try the troubleshooting steps here too:

I am experiencing the same problem but on the xbox cloud. Possible solutions in this case? thank you

Moderator Edit:

Hello, I installed the latest update (1.6.2: 1.92 GB, 591 files and 45 folders) downloaded from the A2A website. The file is in the Community but since then, the plane no longer appears in FS202 despite all my research (P, Piper, Comanche, A2A, 
). It appeared earlier. Do you have a solution?
Thank you very much for the help you can give me.

Bonjour, j’ai installĂ© la derniĂšre mise-Ă -jour (1.6.2 : 1,92 Go, 591 fichiers et 45 dossiers) tĂ©lĂ©charger sur le site de A2A. Le dossier est bien dans le Community mais depuis lors, l’avion n’apparait plus dans FS202 malgrĂ© toutes mes recherches (P, Piper, Comanche, A2A, 
). Il apparaissait prĂ©cĂ©demment. Avez-vous une solution ?
Grand merci pour l’aide que vous pouvez m’apporter.

I reinstalled MSFS 2020 and it lost my A2A Comanche. So I reinstalled the plane but it did not show up in my hangar. I researched and tried a number of solutions but none worked. After a couple hours, I gave up and re-purchased the the A2A Comanche through the MSFS marketplace and let MSFS install it-- that worked. Too bad I had to waste $49 to purchase something I already owned a license to but in the end, my time is worth more. Hope this is helpful.

I’d say if this happens to others to reach out to A2A on their forums or discord before taking that approach. They stand behind their stuff and bet they would help work it out.

I could not find the answer on A2As forums. Maybe it’s possible. Two hours of effort was more than enough for me. BTW I love A2A and had no problem in the past installing software downloaded from them to MSFS. The issue seems to be changes in MSFS. Again, my problem is solved and that’s what I needed. The nature of the solution may point some problem solver towards the location of the problem.

I didn’t mean to find the answer per-se, although yeah always look first. They’re responsive if you reach out directly and probably would’ve either helped debug or given you a credit to their store to redownload it if you’re on PC and don’t have to get it from marketplace and had proof of the previous purchase. Good on you for rebuying it just wanted to say that if anyone else had the issue.

I am on a PC indeed. Also, I did re-download it from A2A as my license gives me infinite downloads. It made no difference. But buying it again from MSFS and installing it from withing MSFS worked. That’s all.
