Hiya Kev,

Actually there is a demirrored 5-AT made by Pierino Primavesi for FS2002. Unfortunately it has horrible looking CFS1 style prop disks.

I may have to just make a silver pre-war Guinea Airways trimotor from Pepe's Chinese Trimotor. :sorrow:

Would've been nice to make the camo RAAF ambulance conversion they tried using at Myola.
 
Hi Allen & John,

Allen, good work with both versions of the Grasshopper. :applause:

John, I thought you must be intending to do a RAAF Trimotor. Is the stock FS2004 model too difficult to repaint?

All the best for the New Year!

Kevin
 
Update.

All LODs done. DP done. Weapons done. Sounds are going to be from FS04 so they are done. .Air file is okay I guess. New/Alt paint is WIP as well. 2d panel not started. Maybe look for better gauges too.

A new entry has been added to Add-Ons Library, category CFS 2 Aircraft - American

Description: This rebuild of the stock FS2004 J-3 Cub to a military L-4 Grasshopper with "greenhouse" windows. New fuselage and wings UV mapping to fix the lousy texture mapping. De-mirror textures. Comes with 2 textures. "Elizabeth" that flew from the CV-4 USS Ranger during Operation Torch and "Rosie The Rocketer" armed with six bazooka launchers and flown by Major Charles Carpenter France 1944.

Come with most of the bells and whistles like animated parts and breaking parts. Model is Multi LOD.

Thanks Allen. This will be fun. I actually got to pilot one of these little beauties for a few hours back when I was getting my tail dragger training.
 
Thank you, Allen! A very nice little airplane!
I fly a Super Cub in real life, among other planes, and I love it!
 
Isn't the Super Cub just a Cub with flaps, wet wings and a bigger engine?
 
The PA-18 Super Cub is basically the same airframe, with a few changes. It has the fuel tanks in the wings, therefore can be flown solo from the front seat. Most have flaps, and there were several engine choices available, up to 180 hp.
Ours is a 1960 model, with a 95 hp engine and no flaps.
 
Starting to tweak the textures....

Looks like a nice project.... I did this just last nite... on a sudden urge lol.
A question... does the glass on the top of the cabin extend all the way to the trailing edge of the wing?
