I love Cubs in real life and in sims.

I have been flying this one around for an hour or so now. Setting up an instrument panel in AirManager for it.

One weird thing happened, when I pop out the Garmin it is on its side. I will have to check this after a fresh restart of the computer.

I also had a lot of conflicts with my Bravo quadrant, but that is fine now after creating its own profile from scratch, at first I could not release the brakes.

This is a fun plane and framers seems very good, in my 4 year old mid computer, description in signature. I run mostly Ultra and high  after U5. This seems much better than my old mid and high settings before and the frame rate is better than before U5 by at least 20%.

It really is the perfect VFR low flyer. Soon I will try the floats.

looks fun!  No fatty bush tires?  Will wait for more feedback and for MSFS to clean up their latest issues.  Will hold off an on any new purchases for now.

February 2021 was the last time I bought something for this console game. It was around that time when I started smelling something fishy.

And then the PMDG DC-6 came out and the Fenyx A320 was announced. LOL

I’m staying vanilla at this point - to avoid issues with dev problems and updates, but at some point I would definitely add this to the hangar. What’s it like to fly one? Well, I’ve flown a variety of early taildraggers from Cubs to Interstate Cadets. I took a BFR in a HUSKY one year. It was like flying a Cub on steroids! It was one of the smoothest and easiest-to-fly aircraft I ever experienced. A big part of this was the massive power on tap, as compared to older factory types. It’s the only aircraft I ever flew out of my high altitude (6000-7000 msl) environment where I wasn’t really even conscious of the awful density altitude (probably 10,000’ msl or more) of a hot, high altitude day. The biggest difference for me was that it was a complex aircraft, requiring dealing with manifold pressure and and prop speed. The instructor complimented me because he didn’t have to touch the controls through the entire flight. I flew it like I had owned it for ten years. It was that easy to fly. In truth, the Xcub in MSFS feels very similar. I hate to use the word, "feel."  It’s the one major element missing from a sim - but I think you get my drift. You might want to save your dough if you are expecting the Husky to be a very different animal from the Xcub. Of course - it IS a sim bird, so I can’t really say for sure.

If this was available for MSFS, I would be interested in buying it, but I can't buy it for that oversaturated cartoon of a flightsim they are advertising in the video.

What flight sim was that?

Out of curiosity, how many of your community addons are utilities?

Sorry!  I am still stinging a bit and let my sarcasm get the better of me.

My screenshots were getting hard to distinguish from real life before SU5.  Now, with the new lighting, I am struggling to get back somewhere near.

I am now trying with the Nvidia experience panel. It is better, but I think something else, some other quality, has also changed along with how the clouds look.

My dilemma is, do I keep trying to tweak it?  Or will they change it back?

The Husky will probably hit my hangar once I get my enthusiasm back.

How about you? Anything in the pipeline.  Or secret?

Yes. a SU4 emulator XD

[Skymaster9999 6]

To the current owners - how is the ground handling compared to other sim taildraggers?

If you hanged around the MSFS forum you'd know 🙂 Nieuport 17. 🤭

And yes, i had zero problems with SU5 and usually preach how good it is, but the cloud feels strange sometimes. You can kinda see a repeating texture pattern sometimes. its hard to pinpoint, but something is up for sure.

Ah yes the Nieuport.  I recognise that wing brace anywhere  (was in your teaser picture if I remenber)    That will be a blast!

SU5 is fast and stable for me now. Grateful for that. Just hoping to get even half way back to SU4 visuals if we can.  The lighting is subjective, but I am hoping some of the rest is a mistake or unintended changes.  If not, we will have to live with it I guess. 

The aircraft models still look great though for sure!

It is another joint venture with Paramount ! 

Actually what strikes me is not the colors but the absence of a cockpit view of the instrument panel !

I can't ever recall hanging outside a real plane when flying.  Kinka death wish.  Where is the cockpit, gees flick a few switches and set a few dials or something akin to real in your video trailer MS/AS.
