(Payware) Flight Replicas Super Cub Ultra now available

[mike_cyul]

Thanks, Ed. Bernt worked hard on those flight dynamics; it's great having him on board as part of Flight Replicas. You should try the dynamics on the Messerschmitt 109....

I have an interesting problem. I am using EZDOK and TRK IR with the Ultra Cub. I have a very high end system with Win 64.
I have no trouble using the mouse to activate switches etc in the EZDOK main panel view. However when I go to an EZDOK camera view of just the fuel tank selector and the elevator trim, I have no mouse control. I have no problem in other aircraft using EZDOK in any camera view. I am at a loss as to how to fix and am not sure if it is an aircraft problem or EZDOK .

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Tom,

I'm the beta tester Mike mentioned and used EZdok throughout testing, although not with TrackIR. I did forget initially to use the EZCA config tool to initialise the Ultra for EZdok camera, the result being some strange internal and external views but I'm guessing you have done this as your problem isn't views as such. My setup was to use an existing camera profile I had created for the Super Cub Extreme which is almost the same as the Ultra and I only had to tweak the magnification and position slightly. Like you I use a dedicated internal view for tank selector and trim but have no problems with mouse control.

The fact that mouse control works ok in other aircraft views suggests the problem is specific to that view so first off I'd suggest comparing the various view settings (POV, mouse movement etc.) using the EZdok view configuration dialog for an aircraft view that works against the one that doesn't looking for any differences. If they appear the same then you could delete the offending view, clone or copy one that works and then tweak that back to the view you want (this is how I set up my views initially). Another thought - did you set the views up from scratch for the Ultra or import from another similar aircraft? I've found this to cause problems on occasion depending on how dissimilar the geometries of the aircraft are. Finally, have you checked without TrackIR support enabled? I can't see this would make any difference for one particular view but maybe worth trying.

Let me know what you find.

Hi Rob,

It is working now. I know I had run the config tool after the last update, but I don't think I did after installing the yellow cub textures. That may have been it.
The interesting thing is that when I was in the main panel view prior to getting it working, the tank selector was visible and I could control with the mouse. I also removed the view of the trim and fuel once more and reinstalled. I had done that once before but it didn't help at that time. Bottom line is that it is working.

Thanks again for help and your part in developing a really great plane.

Glad it's working Tom, EZdok can be a bit quirky at times but I wouldn't be without it now I can make it do what I want! Testing the Ultra was great fun and followed on nicely from clocking up 200+ hours in the Super Cub Extreme over Alaska and the Pacific North West. The Ultra is now my aircraft of choice for exploring these regions.

Have fun

Thanks for the repaints, nice work.

Thanks - just working on a ficticious one...

I think the blue looks better on the yellow. Please download from here..

Great scheme. Now you're going to have to develop an aerobatic routine.

Im trying out the paintkit with an all yellow version - a bit more to do.

Did this paint get posted? it would be perfect with a little bit darker yellow

Here is a cub that thinks its a Storch

Hi Tom

No - i changed it midway through and turned it into my other yellow paint .

Went Camping at Chutine Lake I think the performance of this baby is out of this world, haven't had this much fun in a long time. And it flies like a dream. The only thing it needs are muddy tundra-tyres and a dirty paint job... I'm probably gonna do something about that.

Hi,

I'm having a lot of fun flying the Ultra. I spent many weeks trying to land a default cub on the moving bus in FSX missions and if I'd have had this baby it would have been drop it and stop it time. I have been doing extreme STOLs and I marvel at how I can leap off the RW and climb out then land in someone's driveway or yard. I have yet to skim a lake on an approach but that's coming too.

Really a great piece of work, congratulations to Mike and Flight Replicas, what's next.

good flights, Cal
