History
A2A Simulations was founded in 2003, formerly known as Shockwave Productions Inc.. On May 14, 2008, Shockwave rebranded its corporate name to Air to Air Simulations Inc. (A2A).[1]
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.[2]
