Wow, that's wonderful. Just the right thing for FTX. Thank you. But aren't those wheels green to on that paint? Like here:

help

I have installed the Cub and Accusim.

Accusim is running but whenever I try and access the Accusim screens using shift 3 etc. I see a flicker of the screen but it does not remain.As a consequence I am unable to load Heidi or access any of the Accusim "bells and whistles",not even the map or radio.

I have Acceleration installed. I have run dxdiag and made sure that all is working well.

I have ensured that advanced animations is ticked,

It is a lovely plane to fly but I am missing out on the full functionality.

Any helpful suggestions would be most welcome if anyone has had a similar problem.

Check the A2A forum would be my advice: http://a2asimulations.com/forum/index.php

Well, if you want Heidi, you have to hit Shift + 4. And I like my babes light weight, so I lower her weight to 110. Don't want any Wal-Mart shelf butts in the front seat.

Here's a little quiz:
It looks like a Cub, it sounds like a Cub, it flies like a Cub, but it isn't a Cub...
What is it?

Very nice

 

[Blade124]

These paints all just look amazing. There is such nice variety, colors and contrast. Thank you for painting our little bird, this makes everyone's day over here.

What is it?

It could be a Wag Aero Sport Trainer: http://www.wagaero.com/sportrain.html and it used to be called the CUBy.

Thanks for the great paints. :ernae:

cheers,

Thanks Jankees.

I searched and found the answer which was

MISC
I cannot see my 2D Panels
Open your SETTINGS / CUSTOMIZE / AIRCRAFT and make sure your 2-D Panel Transparency is moved all the way to the left (0%).

Happy flying all

Man, I'm having fun with this aircraft.

Been real busy with my biz lately...thank God...but took the day off to fly the Cub a bit today, and had one of 'those FS moments' when everythigng felt so immersive.

Found a neat little and simple EB-6 software program to calculate my heading for wind, speed, etc. Fired up my Voyager flight plan program with my digitized VFR/Low charts and headed out for some x-country excursions; Finding the roadways, airports, towers, etc along the way after adjusting for wind, and every once in a while 'opened' the 'Cub map' just to check how I was following the flight plan route, corrected for wind, sticking to the EB-6 calculations, and not falling in the habit of turning so the directional arrow aligned with the next way-point via the 'Cub map'. Found the various landmarks on my Low charts to hunt out the airports, and feeling pretty darn good about myself for not feeling the need for a GPS to get from way-point to way-point, airport to airport.

Dang, I felt like I was actually flying

Pretty neat stuff.

I even found a nice ol'Cub hat, and ordered it off the web today to wear as my dedicated TrackIR Cub Hat

I'm obsessed.

Agreed!

Gajit, I drooled all over the screenshot of your US Navy paint until I couldn't stands no more, as my hero Popeye would say... so I bought the Cub. Thanks, guys, for all these paints, and thanks to A2A for another outstanding plane.

Hey QC, if you have A2A's Wop III T-bolt too, you may as well invest in AccuSim, it will work for both the Cub and the Thud.

Hi Caz,

Silly question maybe- isn't the Accusim a different and separate module for the Cub? Or do I not have to buy it again because I have it with the P47?

Thanks
Dan.

Caz, I just went back and got Accusim for the Cub, and I'm gonna wear it out until my wife, who doubles as the minister of finance, sees the bank statement. I may need you guys to paint me a really good camo pattern for my Cub after that..... This is my first experience with Accusim, and I've yet to get off the ground today. I've been installing the wonderful paints you guys have been sharing, and they're all outstanding.
