- Just a short video of Scott Gentile of A2A running up a Comanche 400 prior to it's annual inspection. This is one of under 100 Comanche 400's around today, with a Lycoming 720 cubic inch engine making 400 horsepower. The engine is so powerful it will drag locked wheels on the pavement.

Man... this virtual cockpit has amazing graphics! Really cool pilot animation too!
Microsoft Flight sim 2021 Leaked 😂
its a real plane
@@nathanreid2974 And it makes the same noise that joke made when it went over your head...
This airplane is needed in MSFS. There was a Commanche 400 based where I did my multi-engine training many years ago and it sounded amazing when it took off.
I would love to see the Comanche 400 available in MSFS 2020. Still in love with the Comanche 250 and thanks again for releasing it. The sounds are amazing. 💪
This is the best Flight Sim video I have ever seen.
is this a real plane or sim, he put a batery in at the start of the video

Priceless moment to experience this at first hand on the real thing after it's been hangared for so many years. ;) Thank you for sharing the video with us.
Loved this video! I really like these type of videos :) what a nice looking 400 btw
Wow, what a beautiful noise. I appreciated that, thanks.
Beautiful, powerful, thirsty, plane. The sound is fantastic. Love it.
Very good professional advertising
Beautiful video of the comanche 400 a2aimulations
Very good, detailed clear checklist before takeoff
Great!
Tahnk you
Cool video, would mind seeing more of these in the future!
Great video! I enjoyed that.
Both my grandfathers owned Commanche 400's, I got mine in 91 a late model 1965 with the IO-720-B1A that I had replaced with an IO-720-D1C in 2000. Complete gas hogg but an absolute blast and always the attention drawer anywhere. I was laughing my ass off when you started moving around and then did the run-up, I was like what is he doing without the tail tied down it will drag the wheels! Then It did and I almost lost it! I assume by now you have it flying, the best thing to do to show off is pull on the runway do a full stop, lock the brakes, full throttle when it starts sliding release the brakes by 300ft your airborne and almost pattern alt by the runway end. The downside is that the overhauls can be expensive. I have an A&P who works on mine just for the fact it is an IO-720 and he cuts me a break on labor by allowing me to get it ready for him. For those looking into buying one of these, you better have a deep wallet. A new IO-720-A1B cost US$113,621, with a rebuilt engine retailing for US$75,435 and a factory overhaul priced at US$66,289 and at 75% cruise power consumes 23-24.5 gallons per hour of 100L/LL.
My dad owned 400 N8542P. Sold it years ago and I believe its in KY now. I remember it well. If you're ever near Rochester NY, let me know. I'll pay for the fuel for a ride.
Please accusim this!
You could feel the power on that full power burst! Goosebumps here! Any avionics updates on this bird Scott?
I'm loving the steam gauges. To me that's a proper cockpit. The glass to me has disadvantages, you can't wear certain sunglasses as certain colors are neutralized, glare from the sun, too much information in one area to comprehend, electrical failure. I love the beast. A pilot at our airport had one and yes it was incredible to listen to. The power Is downright raw and emotional.
Man that sure has a different sound than the 4 and 6 cylinder engines...look forward to seeing it in the air!
I actually got to ride in a 400 from Niagra to Linden, NJ back in 1967 when I was 13. Talk about speed. My father followed in his V-tail Bonanza. The owner said the plane was in the shop more than flying due to engine issues.
Thanks a lot a2a ^^
We operated VH-FOE a PA24-400 waaay back in the late 60s - early 70s - on paper runs, and it’s achilles heel was the hot start after refueling. What a nightmare. You had to flood it in order to purge the lines then full throttle with mixture in cutoff you cranked until it fired......hopefully before the battery collapsed from exhaustion.
The battery and starter motor got a thorough pounding but there was no other way of dealing with the heat sink effect on the fuel lines.
The poor man's P-51. That is the impression I had in those in the 1970s. Also the Pawnee Brave with the 720. The long nose on the ag plane made it seem even more like a P-51.
Sounds great!
God all mighty!! I could feel the pull from that 700+ cubic inch monster through my cell phone!!! 😱
Ufff!! more videos Pleasse!! people with me need videos like this for Simulator and fan A2A #1
Very cool! Now that's immersion! I really enjoy how, increasingly, sim flying interfaces with real world flying. A2A aircraft are the best! Thank you. (Will make my move to P3D v4 as soon as I hear the magnificent T-6 is ready in v4). Seeya ATB
I'd love to see a video of this plane taking off
Mr. Scott nice video..!! Beaufifull Bird to become The Next AccuSim Airplane.. Thumb up..!! Greeting from Venezuela..!
My cousin Betty Lussier had one of these in Madrid back in the 60's
Is this a teaser? Are we gonna be flying this plane anytime in the near future? I'm loving my 250 but a 400 sounds so nice .......👍
I have a number of A2A sim planes purchased loving this 400. Are you willing to post annual videos on the 400. I am looking into purchasing a 250 currently in the works. I am a A/P/Private pilot. Looking for all the tips I can get my hands on.
Awesome! Please oh please build this for P3D/FSX! :)
Then you. That is an amazing sound, isn't it.
This would be a pimp aircraft to model, but I'm hoping for a high speed twin or turboprop like a TBM that has some range. You guys already have the single engine GA market on lock down.
looks so real lol good video as usual
you guys should do an a2a piper warrior iii, cessna 150, or grumman tiger
Good job! How about a making A2A Wing of Power Vickers Varsity!
Do you have any other 400 videos? Good stuff.
omg I want this in MSFS. Come on guys, it sounds so good
My dream plane.
Yes please! This will be an awesome Accusim aircraft! If the 540 is bulletproof like a big block Chevy, the 720 must be impenetrable!
The 540, like the 360, is rugged for sure. The 720 is as well, but, cooling is an issue. Once we get it operational, we'll put an analyzer in it, study the data, and likely make some cooling improvements. If it runs cool, I would expect it would be very reliable
Great video, can't wait to see it in the air. Back in the 70's my Dad had 62 250 Comanche. He had a friend that had a Comanche 400 and on more than one occasion when we all flew some place for some of those "$100" hamburgers, The guy in the 400 had problems getting it to start for the trip back. Those "hot start" issues you hear about are no joke. Hope you can tackle that problem. The 400 is crazy fast and so much fun to fly. Good luck and hope it goes really well for you.
So great, and what a sound! I envy you, that's probably a lot of work, but surely a lot of fun! :D
Not sure how it works over there, I guess you'll have to make her pass an exam for the airworthiness certificate?
awesome!
I love hearing a 400 getting it on. So powerful sounding with that 3-bladed prop slicing the air with its 400 /ponies under the hood.
I ask again: How about a Beechcraft 99 Airliner in the future? This would be a nice completion of your Turboprop small airliner line
A2A Simulations is it possible that one day in the future you could somehow figure out a way to run your addons on xplane 11. I have moved on from fsx/prepared for a different more realistic interpretation of a simulation, but I miss your products . Will this ever be a possibility?
Probably went thru 10 gallons of fuel during that run up! But man...what a sound! What an engine!!
I would like to see an A2A Pilatus PC-12, TBM 910, or Pilatus PC-6C.
yes good job!!
I would like to see an A2A B29
Very cool. How do you like flying it?
A2A 400 on the sim? i’m gonna need bigger speakers
5:22
love that engine too
Is that the gyro that sounds like a tornado siren?
That engine is so big it scares me.
Do you have any other 400 videos?
And they didn't even tweak that engine up like versions of the IO-540. They could have gotten between 435hp [as IO-720] and 470hp [as IO-780] out of it, but in this version it wasn't cracking a sweat.
What ever happened to this plane? He ran it up here and was sending it for annual.
Wow you have to this plane into fs2020.
is that wind up noise in the beginning something other than the fuel pump? or is that the priming pump so confused
The electric gyro spinning up for the turn coordinator, potentially also other avionics if not running on vacuum. Generally just the turn coordinator is electric though.
Hey it's Palmer from Oshkosh 2016 and 2015 and I was wondering if I could get a free plane like you said
I can tell you almost hated to shut her down. ;)
i think you should, AFTER starting fuel pump, increase throttle 1/2 to allow for fuel pump to move fuel.
Owner N32693
:)
I love the SOUND...
Just need to advance the mixture to rich to flow fuel. He had it at idle cut off so nothing would flow.
What ever happened to this plane Scott?
I have your Comanche 250, my prized possession you might say. If your going to model this, it would be greatly appreciated. I have noticed that you do older aircraft, any chance on something new in the Piper lineup like the PA-46R-350T Matrix or M500/M600. I have the competitors PA-46 500TP Malibu Meridian, it's nice but it would be way better if it was ACCUSIM who modeled it. Nothing compares to your GA 3D Models. I need more!!!
Could we ever get a plane like the B-24 From A2A for FSX?
B-24 or B1900C next
Alphasim/Virtavia is there's one already released.....
Don't know if I would have done a full power taxi, lol....a little risky next to the hangers.
Chilling sound indeed! Nice old beauty of an airplane :) Just wondering the VSI indicates a slight climb, or is that a calibration issue?
It may be. Remember these gauges sat for 18 years :)
A fun old bird to fly but a bitch to start when hot and a fuel burn of 22 gals per hour and that old 720 engine costs more to rebuild than Hunter steals in a month
cool
I saw your old plane for sale on controller
Awesome, but I think it's time for a nice twin GA like a Piper Navajo or similar :) I don't want to fly with my other payware GA Planes anymore, because they are so unreal compared to my LOVED A2A C182.
There's one... by carenado
I already own the PA-31 350 Chieftain by Carenado/Alabeo. But it is so unreal. I can't immerse into flight sim, because I know there will never be a rise in oil temp or whatever. I want to see it with Accusim :)
yes don't have Accusim PA-31 350 Chieftain and Navajo for asking....
Piper Navajo or TBM 900 to need Accusim....
Yes, that would be really great to have a nice twin or even turboprop.
is it yours.
Are you going to take it to Oshkosh?
No, we're actually four of us are driving out with a new RV mobile simulator. It should be fun
A2A Simulations Thats cool can't waite to see it!!
Man Scott we made the drive from Virginia to Milwaukee and Oshkosh to see relatives earlier this year.. Is a long drive! Make sure you have an EZ Pass for all the tolls, lol.
Please Scott, when you do this plane for A2A, either lessen the sound of that gyro, or only use it in start up. That would drive me nuts. lol When are you going to do either the Beech Bonanza or the Beech Baron. Two planes that just scream A2A
There's one by Carenado and milviz.... so beech baron or Vickers Varsity T1!
you to need aircraft in A2A?
You obviously don't have any A2A planes to equate Carenado lol.
The Beech Bonanza F33A & V35B & A36 by Carenado and Beech Baron 58 by same carenado. so Beech Baron 55 by Milviz.... there's not a2a planes by Beech Bonanza & Beech Baron
Yes they do, and I have the V35B but Carenado planes are just toys really. They have no underlying systems. Flying it is exactly the same every single time. With A2A every flight is different, because the aircraft ages, and can wear out and things can break. Carenado makes arcade planes. Beautiful, but still toys.
With your full power RPM run up I wonder if your scaring the shit out of any one watching.
