Mach II sims, what to know

Post by DanM »

Is there anything special about the mach II sims that I should exploit or avoid?

I wouldnt say there is anything special you need to know. And actually the onl;y people who could really tell yopu about them are the new and current AC counselors because we have seen and flown the new software already. I can promise you you willlove it though and i'll probably be there working support at some point while you are there.

It's XPlane, if you know the program. They even had the creator himself down there tweaking it at one point.

I know this is dredging up an old post. However to correct something here. The base for the sim software is X-plane however it is not the same one you can get in stores this version was made specificly for AC.

We saw the M3 sims when we were there in June, including the Red Baron.
