• There seems to be an up tick in Political commentary in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site we know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religiours commentary out of the fourms.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politicion will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment amoung members. It is a poison to the community. We apprciate compliance with the rules.

On the Cub those appear to be 24" Goodyears, which is what I run on my Cub, but those are considered tiny in the cub world. However the Alaska Bush Wheels have a couple of issues, the rubber degrades badly in the sun and taxiing on pavement wears them quickly. The goodyears seem to last forever by comparison. The Bush Wheels have the advantage that they do not use a tube but have the air valve right in the side of the tire and cannot shear off the valve stem on the tube. Can't go tubeless due to the split rims.
 
Forgive me the stupid question guys, but I don't use MSFS:
Are all the rocks or objects you can collide with solid or can you drive through it?
Yes, the rocks are solid objects. Small rocks, you can hop right over, with ease, while the bigger rocks/boulders can cause you more issues - if you don't have enough momentum, they'll stop you dead in your tracks. Vegetation, on the other hand, doesn't seem to have any physical impact/interaction with the aircraft (at least with crashes turned off). I had to use a good amount of power and some momentum to get over this rock. At least with crashes turned off, there is no consequences of running the prop into the rocks.



Another neat feature in MSFS 2024, of some of the aircraft like the XCub, is that the tires actually squat/bulge with weight applied to them - especially fun to watch as the aircraft bounces, and you see the bottom of the tires reacting accordingly.

Holy cow - thank you very much, Bomber. That is incredible...
