I'm glad to see I'm not the only one enjoying the Katana, she sure is a great little trainer, realistic procedures too. Aerosoft did a great job with this one.

I don't have the new Accu-Sim P-40, so I don't know what advances they've come up with this time.
Compared to the older Accu-Sim birds though.........I'd say in some ways the systems are even more in-depth 8-)

This is the menu you get on start up........it lets you choose the condition of the aircraft.

This is the main menu.
https://www.simviation.com/phpupload/upl ... 776913.jpg

The ground equipment menu....clicking on the items toggles them.
https://www.simviation.com/phpupload/upl ... 756170.jpg

This is the walk around menu. Clicking on the numbers inspects that particular part of the aircraft.
If any attention is needed it will show up in blue.
https://www.simviation.com/phpupload/upl ... 788109.jpg

This is the fuel station. You can add fuel, check for/empty any water in the tank, and physically check the fuel level.
https://www.simviation.com/phpupload/upl ... 766340.jpg

I forgot to take a shot of the trim tabs feature :-/ You can grab onto the trim tabs using the mouse and move them up and down.

The oil and liquids menu. The oil level can be checked using the dipstick. If oil is needed you have the choice between 20 and 40 weight. Rotax engines are water cooled, so you also can check the level of coolant and add if necessary.
https://www.simviation.com/phpupload/upl ... 822465.jpg

The payload manager. Pilot, co-pilot and baggage can be added/removed and individual weights adjusted.
https://www.simviation.com/phpupload/upl ... 770399.jpg

The cleaning menu. The aircraft will get dirty over time (both the exterior and interior).
You can fill the bucket with water and wash the aircraft, then you can use the vacuum to clean out the interior.
https://www.simviation.com/phpupload/upl ... 804713.jpg

The maintenance menu. All major components of the aircraft can be inspected, and if needed, either repaired or replaced.
https://www.simviation.com/phpupload/upl ... 740850.jpg

The settings menu. Realism and preferance settings can be adjusted here.
https://www.simviation.com/phpupload/upl ... 741618.jpg

One thing I didn't mention above is that there is an instructor mode that allows you to simulate failures from the co-pilot's seat (for shared cockpit I assume).

Hope this is what you were after, FT :)
