BRSimDesigns Ercoupe 415C Updated For 2024

[FAC257]

This was actually a pleasant surprise in how much it's been improved. The Ercoupe was one in my hanger that originally worked okay in 2024, but then one of the MSFS updates created an issue that made me not want it anymore. When I got the notice from Simmarket yesterday that there was an update, I wanted to give it a go but was just hoping for the copilot issue to be fixed. Much to my surprise, this update is much more than I expected. They added exterior ground effects, an in cockpit EFB with several configuration options, new paints, and it looks like the textures were upgraded. So, she's back in my hanger and still squirrely as heck trying to take off and land in a crosswind.

The real one is a bit squirrelly in crosswinds, also, as you cannot "lock in" a crab. I get to fly in one quite often.

Most enjoyable plane. Great for cruising around the local area.

This topic popping back up in my list confused me. I didn't look at the date, so I thought there was a new native 2024 update! Couldn't figure out why it wasn't showing in my Simmarket app.

Still, need to revisit this. Fun little plane.

Be sure to get Tiger's mod.

 

[udidwht]

Latest version is v1.5.0

 

[johnwillimas2]

does Tiger's mod work with v1.5 on fs2024?

The latest version is v1.2, and it does work in MSFS2024.

Thanks, I'll give it a go.

I'm having problems with this with the latest sim update 6 beta version 1.8.10. when I try to start a flight after selecting the ercoupe and an airfield it just sits on the loading screen. it also seems to block other aircraft from being loaded. all i can do is quite the sim, remove the mod and restart. then all is fine... any thoughts welcomed.

Sorry I'm not in the beta so I can't investigate this, but it does seem very strange since the mod is simply edited .cfg and .flt text files... If the original works OK then it could be a bug in the beta version.

 

[johnwillimas2]

Hmm, tried it again today with the 1.8.11 beta and the same result. I guess we'll have to wait until the next official release and see what happens then... thanks for your reply though...

 

[DennyA]

Yeah, it often doesn’t make sense to chase bugs that occur in the beta, because the betas often break all kinds of things during the beta test, but it’s 50-50 whether they’ll be fixed before the new version releases.

The most important part is to report the bug on the official MS forums, so that they are aware that’s something they changed is affecting external addons.

 

[johnwillimas2]

Yeah, shall do.

 

[johnwillimas2]

Well the problem is still there in Sim Update 6 final version. I've logged it though so we'll see if anything happens.

I'm now using SU6 and don't have any issues with the mod - could I ask where you downloaded your copy from?

OK I think I've finally got to the bottom of this - the v1.2 mod was for MSFS2020, and it has some .cfg and .flt files which are not necessary in MSFS2024.
I'm now uploading v1.3 as a separate mod for MSFS2024 only, it should be available in the library tomorrow.

 

[johnwillimas2]

1.3 works a treat for me with SU6. I was foolled a bit by the aircraft name now having an * upfront so it wasn't where I expected to find it but after that all functioned fine. Many thanks!
