In a post this evening at their forums, Lewis of A2A Simulations has announced that both their FSX and Redbird Jay Accu-Sim C172 models have entered beta testing.

Along with the announcement, the team have announced a competition to put someone in the cockpit of a real Cessna 172, with an hour’s tuition/flight at a local flight training school, along with an A2A warbird package of the winner’s choice and, of course, a copy of the 172 on release. Runner up prizes comprise a A2A warbird package plus C172 and just the C172. For more details and to read the rest of the development update, visit the A2A forum here.
