Super Cub: New Airfiles coming soon!

SOH-CM-2025
From the same dedicated person (Bernt aka 'sg38' who brought you the super-enhanced airfiles for the Carenado C-185), with additional beta testing by a group of other real Super Cub pilots and owners (including Tom, who worked on the initial set), I'm pleased to announce that a new set of enhanced Super Cub airfiles will be available very soon.

These should put things about as close to reality as you are ever likely to get. On top of that, Bernt went through every single model and tailored the airfiles to each specific configuration.

Existing Super Cub customers will receive an email with instructions as to where to download the new airfiles. These emails should be out today.

For new customers, the packages in the Flight Replicas store have already been updated (as of April 30, 2010). Packages at the other distributors will be updated soon (depending on when they get there and how long it takes them to put them up). The new files will have _v11 following the filename.

Have fun! :)

Great news, Mike! The original models were a blast to fly, so I'm very interested to see what Bernt and crew come up with. They sure did transform the 185.
 
If Bernt sees this thread, perhaps he can give a more detailed answer, but for me the differences are in many areas, some small changes, some large. He really went through everything with a fine-toothed comb, so to speak, and has the skill to do it. He must have gone through every graph and entry in the .air file. Quite something. The most noticeable change for me is the behaviour when flaps are lowered - much softer now. I know he spoke with Tom about this, but I'm not quite sure why there is such a significant difference now.

Anyway, everything from take-off/landing runs at different weights, stall behaviours, control stiffening at different airspeeds, engine behaviours, snap rolls, even landing bounce, have all been tweaked or re-written. And lots more.

I had lunch with Bernt in Toronto a few weeks ago - a nice guy, too! We'll be getting together again. :)

Mike & Bernt,

Must say that the airfiles are boxcar-certified as being highly enjoyable (_v11). :)

Heading into Fane this a.m., a high-angle, high-altitude bush strip in PNG ala Graham's fine package @ PIS...​

You are right on time for me too, as this is the last day I have to play for the next several months. Was hoping to secure another good bush plane first & am not in the least disappointed with the bush package. Thanks for making it available without having to purchase a full package of personally unwanted models. :) Excellent work, guys! You should feel really good about them.

Hi gajit,

Bet you have some great repaints available for this beauty too, eh? The one's you've done for Mike's 'Tros are way tasty. Happen to have a few links handy to point us in the right direction for your skins for the Super Cubs if you have any, please? Thanks. Excellent work you do, man. :) Would like a donation link too, if you have one. The worker is worth the wages.

Nope, sorry, real life got in the way today. Everything's ready, however. Hopefully tomorrow. I'll announce here when the emails are out.

Hi boxcar

Kind of you but I would never take anyones money - im just pleased to put something back into the hobby.

Glad you found them.

Regards GJ
 
Emails containing the links to the new airfiles have now been sent to all Super Cub customers. :)

Five email addresses were returned as invalid, so if you are one of the ones that don't receive the email, just contact Flight Replicas through the support email.

SimMarket installers have now been updated to _v11 status; still waiting for word from the others. As mentioned, the Flight Replicas store installers are already updated.

Mike
 
Just to add a note: I've asked FlightSim Pilot Shop for a customer email list, but no reply yet. They may prefer to just update the installers on their server, and then let everyone know there is a new version available.

If you're a FlightSim Pilot Shop Super Cub customer, and haven't received an email yet, this is why. If (and I mean if) it turns out they would prefer to do things as mentioned above, but you don't want to download the whole package, just contact Flight Replicas support with your order info and you'll receive a link to download just the new airfiles.

Mike
 
Just got my E-Mail with down load link, installed updated airfiles. VERY NICE!

Perfect with UTX Alaska.
 
Thanks for continuing to improve this great package Mike.

I received e-mails about the Extreme and Early Variants packages but not about the Deluxe Amphibious model. Just curious if the Deluxe has an update too?
 
.
Having purchased a fair amount of software from FlightSim.com/fspilotshop, I am recalling a checkbox available that says to tick it "if you would like to know about updates to this product" or something close to that effect. Personally, have not always remembered to tick that little box. Hopefully you'll hear back from them, Mike.

Really enjoying the SuperCub, guys. :) Loving the airfiles with the bush planes package, _v11, thank you!

Yes, they all have updates. If you have several packages, your name may not have made it to every list (although it should have). Just email me with your order number and I'll send you the link.
