Super Cub: Final Previews

[mike_cyul]

Depending on how things go in this week's beta testing, this project could be wrapped up very soon. Still have to do a large part of the manual, plus do the web pages, but I'm hopeful the modeling part ends in a few days.

In celebration, here are some pics of the final versions, minus a few paint schemes, spread over a couple of posts. Scenery is either FSaddon's Plum Island, ORBX Twin Oaks or FSAddon's Tongass. Hope you like.

Wow! It looks great...especially the VC!
I :salute: your modeling skills!

[mike_cyul]

Oops, forgot one. Tom would kill me.

I know this is going to sound very ignorant. I love my little cub with Accusim, but what can I expect with the Super Cub. I'm kinda looking at the AS Beaver...Comparison?

[fliger747]

I am not sure how applicable something like accusim (Tm) would be to a Super Cub. Pretty simple and rugged airframe/engine combo and will take a lot of abuse, perhaps at the peril of one's pocket book in a real airplane. In other words do you want that $25,000 engine go for ten or twenty years of typical use? Having the above sum invested in a real, now year and a half old powerplant....

Cheers: T

A2A, Aerosoft, Flight Replicas, others, I think you'll find they're all very enjoyable in their own way. People enjoy flight simming in different ways, and look for different things, as well. The best way to compare aircraft is to listen to what people say, check out the websites, compare prices, etc., and form your own opinion. That's part of the fun, too.

Mike, considering the subject, that was a wonderful response.

Personally, I look forward to getting this product. Consider my card stolen!

Cheers,

Thanks Mike and Tom (and other people involved)

Cheers, R.

I'll be ready with credit card in hand. You can't have too many Cubs.

[spotlope]

That's a whole collection of some very fine VCs. Looking forward to cruising the PNW in these little beauties.

Looking great! :ernae:

Well, I've been flying the beta and you know you have my coin when released Mike.

It's the best of both worlds, faster when you need a little speed and low and slow STOL capabilities. Not to mention the water skimming.

They all look supern Mike.

In your last screen where the Super Cub is landing and showing the snow dust (for the lack of a better term), just how does one adjust that in FSX? In my opinion, at least on my unit, this is far too overdone, nowhere near as close to the real thing as in FS9. I have checked every cfg I could think of to control that fx.

Like Tom Constantine said, "Ya just can't have enough Cubs!" SWEEEEEEEEET!

There's a wonderful set of replacement effects files somewhere. I don't know where you can download them. I do have the zip file on my backup hard drive though.

If you PM me an email I can throw it over to you sometime today.

4. Standard with Amphibious Floats - 160 hp

5. L-18 Military - 95 hp
6. L-21 Military (two versions) - 150 hp

7. IFR equipped on Amphibious Floats w. square instrument panel – 180 hp

8. Classic Bush Plane on 26” wheels
9. Classic Bush Plane on Edo 2000-type Floats
10. Classic Bush Plane on Federal-type Skis

11. Bush Plane on 35” wheels - 150 hp
12. Bush Plane on 26” wheels w. square instrument panel – 180 hp

13. N8050C on 26” wheels – 150 hp

Agreed. Thanks Mike.
