A2A Piper Cub Released!

Finally gave in to the hype and bought this - and it isn't hype! This is a fantastic little plane, I have not had this much fun for ages! The Accu-Sim add-on really makes it fun, especially with your passenger (can you really get her to throw-up? I gotta try this some more!:icon_lol:) - just perfect for a Kimberly top-end fly or Tongass scenic trip!
The interface is great, and all the nuances (water slapping against the floats, windows shaking, wind noises, cabin temperature, etc) just make it awesome!
Well done A2A - :icon29: Low and slow is the go!

No, it won't. Accusim expansion is a separate product for each aircraft.

Funny thing on my end, I got the P-47 many months back and didn't get AccuSim and when I hit the key to show the AccuSim On or Off button, it would stay gray and I could not turn AccuSim On.

I ordered the Cub and AccuSim with it and now when I fly the P-47, I click the key and I can turn AccuSim On and it appears to be working. Perhaps it is using the parameters and sound of the Cub, but I sure couldn't tell it.

What's the scoop A2A?

Caz,

One experiment you can try is to load the Jug, "start" Accusim, then turn on the battery, then try the intercooler and oil cooler flap motors on the left panel. If you can hear the motors, the you have found something. My guess is it won't work. Then if you haven't already, post it on A2A's forums.

here's a weird thing that happends to me with the cub.

ive run my machine one last time to try it before the hardware overhaul , and ive noticed that the throttle is stuck at middle power instead of idle (saitek at idle). only when i put the saitek into reverser mode the throttle in the cub comes to idle . so basically i can only use half power .

the thing is that my throttle quadrant is properly calibrated trough fsuipc and works normally on any other aircraft .

could it be fsuipc ? help ?
 
I've been struggling with the same atf, just figured it was my old Thrustmaster stick, so, glad I'm not alone.

I went in and calibrated it via the Thrustmaster calibration tool, about 3 times. Gonna try to go back into FSX and see if FSUIPC fine tunes the adjustment, as earlier, I was getting really 'screwy' readouts at 50% and below throttle.

In another note: This (this morning) was the first time I could not hand start the engine. I went through all the correct procedures, even the 'de-flooding' procedure, but nothing helped. I finally deleted the j3log.dat file, and it fired right up. I was good on oil, the engine was 'excellent' with no damage, and everything was done procedurally correct. I wonder if these two issues are somehow related?

I have the problem using AccuSim on the Cub of the throttle being full open when the flight loads, even though the throttle is at idle on my stick. All I have to do is run the throttle control on my stick to eliminate it and bring it back to idle, then all performs as usual.

Will try what you say Glenn and report back. Gotta watch my Cards right now, Adam Wainwright pitched here in Danville, VA when he was with the Braves organization

Caz,

I had something like that, with the engine on and throttle advanced on load earlier tonight but I had to get stupid to do it. I picked the standard wheels Cub, then, (senior moment) loaded a water runway. When the load finishes, big Splash. I hit Alt real quick and loaded a float version. The aircraft was some distance in the air (a couple hundred feet at least). Engine on. Then the flight proceeded normally and no maintanence hit. Fun!!

Well, it's happened, fellas.. While I was distracted with the Bears win over the Steelers, my wife, sneaky thing that she is.. ( much more than myself....), decided to check our bank account status.. She caught me before I had a chance to rehearse a believeable excuse for the charges from the A2A Cub and Accusim.. End result is......

1.) She will have a "headache" for at least a week...:kilroy:
2.) I think I'm really gonna need that camo Cub in the VERY near future...

In conclusion, I'd just like to say "HELP ME!".... I can't fit my laptop into the shoebox she calls the dog house......:blind::running::icon_lol:

QS: are you allowed your computer in the doghouse?
 
Sorry it took me so long to reply, Jan, but after I finally squeezed my laptop in there, I realised my battery wouldn't last long... I had to tunnel out to the shop and reel out the old drop cord to get some power going... I'm okay unless she unplugs it...:kilroy::monkies:

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

best

Good to see you here Nio!:wavey:
Nice plane isn't it. Up to now I have managed to get Heidi to scream wildly during a spin, luckily she did not thow up, and make all sorts of sarcastic comments on my flying and landing skills. I am trying desperately to make a landing that she likes but when she gets on my nerves too much it's Shift-4 and off she goes...:bump:

Glad it's working for you.

Good to see that you have bought the aircraft too Dimus.

I am using it to fly all the airfields in the UK using Tako_ Kichi's list.

It is going to take a while.
