June 21, 201213 yr Commercial Member Maule in snow! Snow covered trees! More proof that there are seasons! New Carbon Cub The details are very well done. You can see control cables, and lots of fine details if you look close. Stearman running a new hoops course in Alaska. Small town in Alaska. Note the snow covered roofs. Snow looks a little flat honestly. Should have a spec or normal on there to bring out some details. More Carbon Cub! Note the detail in the tail wheel. Very well done I think. And no, I did not model this one! Profile of the Carbon Cub. Note the high level of rake on the front wind shield. NOT A PIPER! P-40 is old news, but the scenery is new! Mountains looks great! This was an orbital shot that showed more scenery. Carbon Cubs cowling, and tundra tires Thats a sample of the new shots in the intro after the update. Hope you like um!

June 21, 201213 yr Thanks! Look at those clouds too. Very nice. Simmo W, Melbourne, Ozhttp://www.youtube.com/user/id5556
June 21, 201213 yr Commercial Member I never thought I'd say this but, I want to get home from vacation NOW! :D I call the red Carbon Cub! Brandon Filer
June 21, 201213 yr That answers a question I had in my head, if aircraft would be usable in different areas. Can we fly the RV6 in Alaska for example. The shots with the Maule and Steerman show that's possible. The cub with Tundra tires would come in handy landing on Hawaii's beaches.
June 21, 201213 yr Hmm, the forests and mountains aren`t looking bettter than the ones in FSX, I´m a bit dissapointed. But at least there is ice on the water. For me it looks not like a Super Cub nor a Carbob Cub. Looks like a normal J-3 Cub.
June 21, 201213 yr Author Commercial Member Read my thread about the new aircraft. http://forum.avsim.net/topic/377380-flights-next-aircraft-revealed-in-update-its-not-a-piper-cub/ Plenty of proof its a Carbon Cub. First, the cowling, second, the rake on the front glass. Not a J3 or a Super Cub. Kevin Miller 3D Artist and developer
June 21, 201213 yr Snow covered trees! More proof that there are seasons! You do know there is snow in Alaska even in the summer months? Not saying there aren't going to be seasons, but this doesn't prove it!! Thanks Tom My Youtube Videos! http://www.youtube.com/user/tf51d
June 21, 201213 yr Don't make me too excited guys (though I really am now). I have 2 more exams for the school year and doing this makes me think about Flight instead of exams. :( Alex Leung Aerospace Engineering Undergraduate Glider & Private Pilot via Royal Canadian Air Cadets

June 21, 201213 yr Author Commercial Member You do know there is snow in Alaska even in the summer months? Not saying there aren't going to be seasons, but this doesn't prove it!! If you watch the Webisode 5 for Flight, there is a short shot of a town in Alaska, in summer, without snow. Later MS released a screenshot of that same town in snow. More recently, they released a bunch of screenshots showing conifer trees, not found in Hawaii, and none with snow. The video shows that same conifer tree WITH snow. Its not pure proof, ill give you that, but its more supporting proof along with the earlier one. Kevin Miller 3D Artist and developer

June 22, 201213 yr Thanks for the shots Kevin! I like the snow covered buildings. One of the first things i am going to do is jump out of the aircraft and tour the towns on foot in the snow, LOL. I sure hope there is another aircraft included other than the Cub. i like it, but man is it slow. seasons are great, but dynamic weather is a must for Alaska, i sure hope that is included.. Best, Michael KDFW
June 22, 201213 yr The second image, some of the trees are darker, is it because terrain shadow cast on those trees?
