Classic Aircraft Simulations J3 Cub (Very Soon)

[Bomber_12th]

A new developer, Classic Aircraft Simulations, is expecting to release their detailed and feature-packed J3 Cub at some point this week. The plan is to have it sold through Contrail and Simmarket for around £15. I was a big fan of the A2A Accusim J3 back in FSX, and this looks to be the closest we've seen to that product.

Current Features List:
- Hand-prop start procedure and engine start simulation.
- Engine oil consumption
- Engine damage and failure simulation.
- Physics-based animations.
- Bespoke MSFS CFD flight model
- Aircraft state/condition persistence
- Variety of aircraft options
- Landing gear failure on hard landing
- Compact, hideable avionics (XPDR and Radio)
- Tablet for aircraft settings/configuration
- Enhanced vibration and camera movement effects
- Synchronized high dynamic range engine sounds
- Animated passenger (movable with interaction)
- Custom Pilot/passenger models
- Landing gear failure simulation
- Prop strike simulation
- Interactive refuelling
- Custom visual effects

Planned (post-release):
- Float Variant
- Tundra Tyres
- Paint kit
- VSI

Here is a video preview by AvAngel (though I feel she could have done a better video if she'd practiced just a bit more with the aircraft beforehand):

And some screenshots from the CAS Discord page:

I hope the registration is customizable and not baked-in to the textures. Otherwise, I like the look of it.

Watch AvAngel's review. The reg. is VERY customizable (you can choose where or whether to display it on the wings, even).

Looking forward to this one, I also miss the A2A Cub!

"N403SX" is the reg that Rachael uses most of the time, and that's what's showing on her video for this one.

I hope these people will do an Aeronca 7AC Champ.

If we are placing orders, I want a T-Cart. Never been a decent Taylorcraft in any flight sim.

Hi,
As "Roy", a FSDeveloper user asked me at the end of last year to have an Aeronca 7 A Champ on MSFS to be able to illustrate an aerial commemoration, I started this project some months ago (part time).
So there is an Aeronca 7 Champ under development for MSFS. Currently it is a freeware ...




My last work on it was in January:


Cazzie, I am sorry I don't remenber that this project was initiaded for you ;-)
Don’t worry, I haven’t forgotten this project but these last 3 months have been very busy.

Cheers,
