Strange choice.
Yes but it has a G5 (!) – finally a G5 in MSFS – in my view that makes up for whatever sort of strange choice the airplane may be.
In what way?
I agree that a Sierra by far isn’t as common (or as pretty) as an Arrow or a Mooney, but we already have those. Personally I would have preferred the Sundowner from the Musketeer line because it’s by far the most common variant, but the Sierra will do nicely. It’s a great plane. Not quite as fast as its competitors but much roomier with two doors in front (and one in the back) and extremely comfortable (arguably traits that are not really important in a simulator 
) I guess her greatest weaknesses are fuel burn and cruise speed. You can easily expect her to burn a gallon more per hour than an Arrow and still be several knots slower.
But she’s also immensly stable in flight, easy to trim and still much more agile than she looks due to her big ailerons. She also has very benign stall characteristics - in fact as long as you keep the wings level, she doesn’t stall at all but only mushes. In addition she has a tendency to fly slightly nose down offering great visibility through her gigantic wind screen and the pilot is sitting slightly in front of the wing, so you can even look down quite well. Also almost no matter how you distribute the weight, you will most likely stay in the approved CG range as long as you stay below MTOW (can only speak for the Sundowner here. Didn’t check the POH of the Sierra). Last not least, she’s extremely well built - it’s a Beech after all.
It’s just dull. Dull can be good, I mean look at the Comanche, but it just doesn’t appeal or stand out in any way from what we have already. I’m not saying don’t make aircraft like this, just don’t expect to sell very many.
You think the Comanche is a dull aircraft?
Well I agree from a sales standpoint the Sierra might not be an obvious candidate, since she’s not so well-known and - yeah in many respects comes across as pretty dull. But it offers a very nice package for the low altitude VFR pilot. I personally found the C414 a little dull since it’s not a plane designed for my kind of flying. Guess it’s a matter of taste. At least I have full confidence FSW will do the Sierra justice with a beautiful model and an accurate flight model.
Oh I’m sure it will be very well done.
The Comanche is of course extremely well done but as an aircraft? Dull. Of all of the past A2A releases, the Comanche is the one I would probably have been happy to see done last. Of course I marvel at it every time I fly it but, there is usually something else I’d rather fly first to be honest. Personal opinion, of course.
Interesting. In my eyes the Comanche is probably the coolest of all SEP aircraft ever. It ticks all the boxes for me. Fast, great payload, retractable gear, comfortable, long range, and I also think it’s a very good looking plane. Personal opinion, of course. 
But we digress … back to the Sierra …
I guess you need a big cabin because you’ll spend a lot of extra time in there. You’d think after the 414 choosing an ‘also ran’ in the history of aviation one would go with a 177. Interesting choice. 
I’m with you. First time I saw a Comanche I was more of a Bonanza guy. However, looking at it more critically my conclusion is it’s a cool looking single with a decidedly 50’s deco look about it.
And the 260 is a very sought after aircraft despite only moderate gains over the 250.
I bought the 414 because I wanted a twin prop in the hangar. I wasn’t disappointed. The sounds alone were worth the asking price.
I bought their Learjet because for me it is an iconic aircraft. I wasn’t disappointed with that one either.
I am struggling though at the moment to find a reason to buy this one. It seems … just a little bit boring maybe after their other addons?
Hopefully there will be other features to entice me such as deep systems depth and wear and tear maintenance options (which I don’t think has been modelled on their other addons). If not …
Flysimware is one of the best developers for MSFS and one of my personal favs, I love their C414 and the Learjet.
Having said that this is a hard test even for me, the plane is quite dull, I agree it is a very strange choice and to be honest I’m not sure I’m going to get this even as a big fan of the devs.
Is that a custom G5 with all funcionality or the horrible Asobo default G5? Because in the demo it looked like the default one to me.
Default one sadly. Really hope that one day Working Title overhauls it. Same problem with a number of aircraft like the SWS RV-8 for example. Working Title G3X, PMS GTN 650 or TDS GTN 650Xi and Asobo default G5. It makes what is a well equipped cockpit look bad in my opinion.
That seals the deal for me, dull plane with a default Asobo G5 it will be a sad pass.
EDIT: It seems this was incorrect or user error and the G5 is not the default G5 instrument!. Apologies.
Why not come to our DISCORD Community and post questions there? Or wait to find info posted on our product page before you seal the deal.
The G5 and G3X panels use working title logic including the new features they just released.
The G5 unit itself never had WT logic!!! But we upgraded the code beyond the default as it was missing features and had mistakes. But the GTN650/750 and GNS430/530 panels that use the G5 are WT logic for the autopilot.
The G3X ties the 3rd party GTN650/750 units to the unit. Includes an engine display uses WT logic and much more. The G3X GNS530 is also WT logic.
This is a first release with dual navigators! 
Access to the Plane being able to 3D Scan the entire thing and have Owner supply all the information required. it’s one of the things that makes doing these happen.
Thank you for the clarification.
Is not about info from someone the video that was released showed what to me looked like a default G5 instrument.
So from what you post I assume we are getting a fully functional G5 with the Sierra. That is awesome!
Can I press the knob in the G5 to access the menu, select heading for example and make the AP follow that heading?
Even better by default the knob always tunes the heading bug. So no need to enter the menu to tune. This is realistic. And now not only can you enter into the menu but there is a new menu option so you can tune the course when in VLOC mode.’

I may be warming up to this little goofball
