Austin in a (real) Piper Cub

I suspect this is a sign they convinced him to give the tail draggers more lovin.

Taildraggers have long been in need of attention from Austin.

I have used a few taildraggers that more or less I can say pleased me, but while it's good to recognize the typical "complexities" of dealing with this type of aircraft, specially those with a free / catoring tailwheel, are depicted in X-Plane, in most of the taldraggers I used in XP11 and now XP12 too the response / ground physics feel weird...

I don't know exactly what is the reason. Could be due to various factors, wheel physics, moment calculations, flight dynamics,

I have found a few taildraggers that behaved differently, so I opened their "acf" files in Plane Maker and found "tricks" like hidden skids and the like 😕   While this may get the aircraft behaviour more like it works IRL, it's not my preferred type of solution...

Maybe this last video also means Austin is going to fine tune ground physics and in particular tailwheel aircraft 🙂

Brilliant !

As ever,  loving these lectures from Austin.

A real simulator for real pilots with bags of character.

That was great! 🤣

Ha ha, this is brilliant :-), Austin should take up making sitcoms.

This is the sort of marketing they should have been doing during XP11, fun, interesting and very well made

made me laugh, I didn't think he would fit into it...
