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: Wings of Victory. 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]

Air to Air Simulations states that its name change was triggered by reports of customer confusion between Shockwave Productions and a popular online gaming website known as Shockwave. In an effort to better serve their customers and avoid any further confusion, a company name change was in order.

In 2019, A2A Simulations announced their first X-Plane project in partnership with Airtech Simulation and the X-Plane developer Laminar Research. [3]
