FS Addon Super Cub is at Simmarket

[gajit]

but I think i will wait for the fantastic looking Flight Replica's version.

Any news on that one? My card is waiting!!

[Anneke]

It's still a very nice looking detailed aircraft...

[MCDesigns]

Thanks gajit, was just about to post this and you beat me to it, LOL.

This one looks nice, look forward to reviews on it.

[oakfloor]

Ah, is this the same one as before, but with a bunch of repaints? I bought a FSX supercub like that from somewhere for half the price, but it only came with one paint job. And there prices? there the highest Ive seen. I hope thats its been improved some but the screen shots look the same as my old one does.

"Following his earlier Super Cub (Top Cub from Cub Crafters) for FS2004, with adapted version for FSX, Simon Smeiman has now rebuilt this wonderful aircraft as a native FSX model, with many more versions and paint schemes included."

You can read into that anything you like. Is it the same model just tweaked to be FSX compatible or is it truly FSX native as it says. It would appear from that snippet that it might actually be the one you purchased. This guy does nice work (I bought his Bobcat) and I'm sure this one will be an excellent model as well.

Guess you can wait until a reputable reviewer has given it a good shake down and pronounced it worthy. . . .or not!

[gajit]

I really want to see some close views of those gauges before i get tempted

It is fully native and rebuilt for FSX like it says, just purchased it. It has 3D gauges. Will post some screenies later..:wavey:

The previous version was a port-over. I got my money back. This looks like the real deal:applause:

I'll wait for Mike's. Ain't no comparison.

[gajit]

I'll wait for Mike's. Ain't no comparison.

I have a feeling your right.

[bushpilot]

Okay here's some impressions. It has specs and bumps and exterior looks excellent. Some of the liveries aren't as sharp as the others (I don't know if they are transferred from older version or what), but that's hardly a complaint. Just flew the tundra and amphibian and they handle nice and firm, I even sideslipped it to Plum Island. VC is nice. Not as detailed as some VC's these days, but I like the rugged feel. And probably the most important thing (for me); awesome frames all around.

[Roger]

I'm biased towards Mike's as a beta tester, but this looks like a well done job.

[Anneke]

well for a discounted price of just nine euro's it's a mighty fine deal and a great plane by the looks above and who says I can't fly it alongside Mike's or the A2A J3 :ernae:

[calypsos]

I know they may well be authentic, but to my eyes those 'Tundra Tyres' just look a bit daft!

[oakfloor]

Great plane, I did have the old version and got this one for half price. Go for it supercub lovers:bump:

[tigisfat]

That is a beautiful VC!! I didn't know there was a previous version. I'm about sold now.

[wilycoyote4]

I know they may well be authentic, but to my eyes those 'Tundra Tyres' just look a bit daft!

If anyone is curious, they can download the manual.

As for tundra tires, a google search shows websites and I post 2 here as examples, prices, details, etc.

http://www.alaskatundratires.com/

[lawdawg]

I agree with Calypsos, sort of.
I live in Alaska, am around a lot of super cubs, and those tires look nothing like the real deal. Not even close.
If you want the real deal, Mike from CYUL has an outstanding looking cub coming.
Soon I hope..:icon_lol:

[bushpilot]

and those tires look nothing like the real deal. Not even close.


Not even close? lol Looks pretty close to me.

OK Pekka, from that shot they do.
I stand corrected.

[bushpilot]

The bump map might be too pronounced for AIR STREAK text part (easily fixable), but shape and size of the tires is IMO close to what I've seen in photos.

At least it's the trippiest one LOL:monkies:

[wilycoyote4]

I should think that new tundra tires, having been just mounted on the proper wheels, would look different than tundra tires that have seen years of use. The tires in the screenshots in this thread look new to me.

Perhaps a painter, with the skills, can age tires ? Just an idea, of course, as well as age the entire aircraft ?

[heywooood]

people shouldn't confuse personal preferences with 'correctness'

..its just so selfish and in some cases, rude :kilroy:

[tigisfat]

Those tires are incredibly modelled. Those are some of the most realistic tires I've ever seen in sim. What's wrong with them? I think they're the coolest part of this release, but that's just me.

[boxcar]

..
Have to admit that she looks pretty good! :)

[bushpilot]

My contribution to the great tundra tire debate :bump:

Modified the bump and diffuse maps of the tires; added dirt and made the text less pronounced.

[Francois]

Guess you can wait until a reputable reviewer has given it a good shake down and pronounced it worthy. . . .or not!


<chuckle>

From one reputable reviewer to 'community members': I have stopped making reputable reviews some time agao (did them on AVSIM, Computer Pilot, simFlight and other places).

Why!? Because they don't exist.

The entire 'sense' in this hobby if you like is about fantasy and impressions. Most of us never fly the real model... heck, most of us have never flown ANY plane in real life.... so anything written about FS models, their looks, their handling.... and even their builders, usually is 'feel', 'perception','impression'.

Anything but FACT. Hey, it's a sim, not reality. :wavey:

So I got tired of the endless discussions, critiques, flames, emails, forum threads and stopped writing them. One (writer OR developer) can never please them all. :blind:

Instead I started publishing them. And although I am a masochist and visit FS forums now and then .... I'm here today... I usually now refrain myself from jumping in the fray and I only HAVE to answer to actual customers of our products. Which I do. Vigilantly and with passion.

Much saner, let me tell ya ... LOL !

Now, as a reply to onne of the questions here.... no, this is not a port-over. No, this is not the same model 'reworked'. Simon made a NEW Gmax designed FSX model.

Like it or leave it, that's not up to me, but for now it is selling well, so a Big Thank You to all our loyal customers here and elsewhere ! :wavey:

A Reputable Publisher (or so I tend to believe :icon_lol: ).

[bushpilot]

Francois it's very nice plane. Love it, except for the sounds. It's too bad that these were not updates as well. It sounds like a recording from the </chuckle>thirties..:pop4:

[falcon409]

people shouldn't confuse personal preferences with 'correctness'. . .its just so selfish and in some cases, rude :kilroy:
Very well said heywooood! We see that same mindset over and over again in here and on other forums. The fact is Simon did an excellent job with the Super Cub, the tundra tires are spot on and whether or not they look too new or nothing like the real deal to some is of no real concern. Buy it if ya like it and if ya don't. . . . .don't.

[IanP]

I have to agree. Simon's work is coming on in leaps and bounds (although I'll be honest, my personal preference is that I prefer Pekka's worn tyres to Simon's factory fresh ones... That's just me. :engel016:)

If I could afford it, I'd have bought this already. It has definitely been added to the list, though.

[wilycoyote4]

I like both new and older aged tires. So, I hope a paint can be downloaded----Pekka ???? Is your paint finished?:icon29:
I recall, correct me if wrong, that years ago a J-3 was made by ---Golden Age?----that had a dirty paint included. That paint had dusty corners in all glass sections, streaks of grime, rust?, etc. And dirty tires, perhaps? Anyway, I look forward to paints showing a bit of wear and tear. :running:

As to the appearance of real tundra tires, yes, I've seen a few, maybe even a thousand over the years, and some looked new probably because they were, some looked old but washed, and some looked dirty or muddy. All I touched were soft and smooth as a baby's bottom, so to speak, if you know what I mean.

And I bought this super cub and like it. I've used Simon's banner freeware from previous years and another freeware release by a fellow whose name starts with "N" but I can't recall it right now, sorry. They worked in FSX but this FSX native Accel SP2 payware is very, very, very, much better. I've only a few flights but I like the smooth flight handling and the landings with both floats and tundra tires are great. A kind of soft bouncing with tundra tires on gravel strips? Or is it just me, LOL? :ernae:

I've got find some proper beaches, yes, of course, well, I really must fly.........................later. :medals:

I'm doing some paints after I get my hands on the paintkit. I did one quick paint just by painting over one ready paint template, but it's not an ideal way of doing paints because you lose all the panel lines and such. But you can be sure that my paints will be weathered:icon_lol:. And I'll see if I can include my scruffy tires with them.

By the way this thing side slips beautifully:ernae:

Paint kit ? Where is that?
Several VCs but I like that open door view of the tire, lol. Elevator trim and engine settings are very neat, very effective, and the left side glass vents are a nice touch. :ernae::medals:

Nowhere yet, but according to Francois, it should be out in near future:running:.

I wanted to get this from FSAddon's site because that's where I got the 1st one how ever it didn't work. Followed there instructions, got the coupeon pic then when to Buy Now and got that started filling in the required info then went and clicked on coupon tab message comes up saying the coupon not valid, OK then I"ll just get it at the full price nope wouldn't let me do that either. Now since buying the orginal one my email addy has changed would that be causing a problem?

[Francois]

Yup, could well be. The software checks your data in the sales database of Flight1 and obviously it needs to match.

Thanks Francois, perhaps I'll try painting ---ahem, my efforts are not really worthy of public usefulness, eh, not just yet, but since this supercub release is an inspiration, I shall dismount my high horse for another humble education.

Marvelous screeny pekka, quite a dramatic feeling of the supercub world.

[Selva]

oh wow... she's beautiful...

[Francois]

Just a quick heads-up here: the Flight1 Coupon Software, needed to provide the promised 50% to Fligth1 customers of our earlier Cub, is currently not working for us.

I'm awaiting support from Steve Halpern to get things fixed. Until then simMarket customers get their discount already, Flight1 customers will have to wait a little bit longer until the problems get fixed.

Sorry ! :kilroy:

I don't know, it doesn't happen anywhere but on your PC it seems. Pronably a sticky key or something.

But for true support, please visit our dedicated support forums. There you'll find the developer of the plane, who may or may not have other ideas about your problem.

It looks like an interesting aircraft, however, the flight replicas version looks a lot more detailed than this version. I have the A2A cub with accusim, i know it is a different model piper, but the detail is astonishing.
This looks nice though!

You can never have too many Cubs...... ;)

Your wise Jake - i bought it realising that i could get it with the discount having owned previous versions and wont be keeping it in the hangar as i just dont like the VC textures.

External models are well done - but I think the pilot looks a twit - or a word simular!

[wilycoyote4]

You can never have too many Cubs...... ;)
Agreed :medals::icon29::guinness::icon29:

I should think this supercub release will see more development in the grace of time. Happily the first paints are made. I'm still going through the models and VCs. I noticed the screwheads are detailed. Supercubs are fun in FSX.

[bushpilot]

All I can say about this that it is by far one of my favorite bush planes. VC has sort of a lived in feeling about it, which is always a big plus in a bush plane.

There is quite a lot to love about this package. The sheer number of different configurations that you get for about $24 is amazing. The aircraft handle like I would imagine that they should. The cockpits are detailed, but...

the cockpit textures really do leave something to be desired, and the sounds are not too impressive. I find that I mostly forget about these two little things once I get airborne, but they do not help the immersion.

Overall, I am glad that I purchased the super cub collection. I hope to see a bit more development in the future.

Thanks Pete:wavey:! Since there seems to be an interest towards my gauge reflection mod I'll slip it into my next repaint. But it will only work with the simple panels.

That white Aussie is great, and I enjoy bush flying in Australia, including Tasmania (the free demo from Orbx). New Zealand, Scandanavia, Canada..............................rather long list, eh?

[gajit]

Yes - well done :ernae:

So would you good people recommend this little plane? I already have the A2A Cub (which I love) but i wouldn't mind a little more speed and nav ability. I do tend to lean towards this sort of thing as I like low & slow (L-39 a special exception!) :icon_lol:

...........more speed and nav ability. I do tend to lean towards this sort of thing as I like low & slow ...............

I post as a buyer. I'm a Supercub "nutter", probably no secret to anyone, so, of course I have it.

You should be aware another Supercub is due for release in the not too distant future so if you want only one payware you may wish to wait.

In addition I think the FSAddon product (the one posted here in this thread) will have an update soon. http://forums.fsaddon.eu/viewforum.php?f=35 (http://forums.fsaddon.eu/viewforum.php?f=35) may help you. The FSAddon product page http://fsaddon.eu/wpfsaddon/fsaddon-products/ may help. At the moment. I can't recall if a manual can be downloaded for inspection, but if so, then do so as you can get good information.

As for me, nutter me, I'll get the next Supercub, too, and support more development in both projects.

As for fun and simulation in FSX Accel, I'm a treetop cruiser and do land on places that are not airports such as a river island, hilltop, beach, snowfield, road, pasture. With flaps, engine power, and tundra tires landing isn't too hard. Then there are wheel-skiis and floats as well. Performance does vary if you fly at max gross, of course.

I don't know the avionics of the A2A Cub. In my opinion, this Supercub is limited in IFR compared to the default Cessna 172, just for an example, but the manual shows the panels which may be basically thought of as two types. One is "simple" which is clearly VFR while the other (3 variations) has some limited IFR ability.

BTW, I land, save the flight and return to that field or whatever later. I've nothing against airports. I think Supercubs make their own, so to speak.

Does anyone have knowledge of the upgrade and if the manual is available?

I'll get them both but I'm more than happy with this one!

[Overshoe]

Same here. I love this one and I will buy the Flight Replicas version as soon as it's released.

Two OZ schemes are now uploaded to aussiex.org. I also made a little panel texture mod to be used with simple panel.

Goodness....! That is one nice looking plane!

Thanks for the heads up!

Man, even the tire is bumpmapped, lol... Crazy details!

Hahaha--hahar, great avatar, good sense of humor,:ernae: and great work, :medals: :running:

On the ocean beaches at the south of Tasmania, Australia, using the free demo scenery of Orbx. And 2 using the FSAddon Tongass product. Both are VFR places for bush flying but I'll be trying some IFR flights later.

Perhaps I just stop looking at what I'm missing.....:bump:

I'm sorry but after try and try and try, I can not complete a download from that site. I guess I'm doing something wrong but what?

Could you upload to SOH?

[bushpilot]

Uploaded to SOH, have fun:wavey:.

[Thog10]

Wow, Bushpilot, these texture and reflection mods are great. Thank you!

[wilycoyote4]

Thanks bushpilot, nice addition to the VC, reflection and leather covered panel.:icon29:

[bushpilot]

Thanks guys, glad you like them:medals::icon29:

I have added a GPS popup window using an FSX default GPS. The panel cfg file adds the window the easy way by copying the default J-3 window data entry for the GPS. The window number may need changing. That is the basic idea.

But if I try to fly IFR in the worst weather, such as icing, heavy fog, and at night, then common sense says I should not be in the air at all. It depends on how realistic I want to be in a traditionally VFR aircraft.

But for those who prefer a GPS there is a way to get one.

Cold winter air for one screenshot, Tongass flightseeing, the essence of VFR.
