I agree lawdowg - I cant get high speeds either - just expected IAS.

It goes to overspeed insanely quick.

Any ideas?

I think you are correct. When the HD crashed in at Christmas, I have the feeling the backup service replaced the airfiles of the Standard with an earlier beta version. If you (and anyone else who would like them) will email me at the support email, I'll send you the correct airfiles. Sorry about that.

In the meantime, I'll update the packages.

Using the paint kit - thanks Mike - it seems to work well. I might try something more difficult once this is done.

Now done with some minor tweaks...

Thanks for the quick response. I now know that the problem is only in the planes with one fuel tank...L-18 & 95hp. The ball remains at the bottom of the gauge with any level of fuel. All other planes indicate correct levels in both tubes. No big problem.... I bought the whole package and have lots of Cubs to fly. I'll just pay closer attention to miles flown when I'm in the little ones.

Ok, thanks, I didn't realise that - will make the fix.

Edit: Checked, and again an airfile replacement issue. Please email me at the support address, and I'll send the revised aircraft.cfg files. In the meantime, the installers will be updated by later today.

Having a ball in these Cubs.

One question, is the female passenger only availible in some of the models as I can't seem to get her in the extreme models?

I'm no lady killer in real life but in the virtual world they usually don't shun me too

***scottmm73*** · January 10th, 2010, 08:37

Having read the manual on installation, I cannot seem to find where it is located. Anyone have an idea?

Disregard found it.

***Rezabrya*** · January 10th, 2010, 08:49

This plane is great Mike! I always wanted A SuperCub for STOL take-offs and landings. The Extreme version is easily my favorite.

I'm afraid she's only in the Early version. Had to put something in there to tempt everyone away from the Extreme versions.

In the extreme version, she should be replaced with an ill-tempered and airsick moose hunter, just in keeping with the plane's ethos.

I'm still having trouble with the 160 hp classic tundra tires version, predominantly when taking off and landing on grass strips (or no strip at all) I did my supercub testing at ORBX's YLIL lilydale freeware yesterday, and that model would go left hard rudder after a few yards on the takeoff roll. did not have that trouble with the other models, even the other tundra models. in further testing I was able to take off from asphalt runways just fine. I did a couple of bush landings in fields and on golf courses, and had the same issue with it going left full rudder on the subsequent takeoff. I think perhaps the damage model is a little on the fragile side on that 160hp classic and that's what's causing the issue. anybody else noticing this?

Just did some circuits for you at ORBX YLIL (nice airport, do a lot of testing there!), to make sure, and didn't have anything unusual. You're not using SP2 are you? And have you had a look at the settings in the Manual, just in case? Are you using a saved flight at YLIL?

No problem Mike, just hunting for bugs for you. I'm happy the way it is.

I'm having lots of fun seeing where I can get these in and out of. They are also great for checking out the detail of my add-on scenery.

Thanks also for making the sounds change when the window is open. It may seem like a small detail but to me it has huge effect on the imersion factor.
