Air to Air Simulations Inc. (A2A) is a private company which specializes in the development and publication of flight simulations, strategy games, visual effects, and sound. The company is based in Simsbury, Connecticut.
Formerly known as "Shockwave Productions Inc." (see History below), the company designs flight simulation products. A2A also has designed its own proprietary Air-Combat computer game engine called the "Merlin Air Combat Engine", which is used in A2A's 2005 release, Battle of Britain II. The release was met with many favorable reviews, and won several awards including the SimHQ Best of 2006 award.[1]
History
A2A Simulations was formerly known as "Shockwave Productions Inc." On May 14, 2008, Shockwave rebranded its corporate name to Air to Air Simulations Inc. (A2A).[2]
A2A Simulations Inc. has stated that its name change was triggered by reports of customer confusion between their brand (Shockwave Productions) and a popular online gaming website known as Shockwave.
In 2019, A2A Simulations announced their first X-Plane project in partnership with Airtech Simulation and the X-Plane developer Laminar Research.[3]
