Scot Gentile of A2A reports that he has release a patch for their recent Piper Cub. It includes a number of new features, some tuning and a few bug fixes as well. For a full overview of all the changes you can click on Read Full Story below. The download can be found on their website here. The A2A Cub is available from simMarket of course.
"….. New Features in v.1.1
– Paddle to and from a dock or any shoreline with a functional oar.
– Make advanced water to land landings with Tundra tires. This allows for safer landings near shorelines and lakes. While the tundras are larger than regular tires, they are not floats, so if you get too slow over the water, they can pull you in and nose over. Be careful and respectful of the dangers of skipping over water. The wave physics are enabled, so you may get some bucking up and down at speed.
– Hand towing (CONTROLS PANEL). This allows you to slowly pull or push your aircraft after the engine has been shut off.
– New tie-down physics will hold aircraft steady. If you use the tie down on water, it will simulate a tie down near a dock. The plane will still rock back and forth in the watter, but it will behave as if it is roped down.
– Audible damage physics. This means if you push an engine, especially if cold, you will hear some slightly different sounds coming from the engine.
PASSENGER ON BOARD:
– Nervous Heidi won’t comment so much when down low.
– Misc improvements and fixes to Heidi’s intelligence.
MISC:
– Wing departure characteristics slightly tuned.
– DAT files automatically get re-located to MY DOCUMENTS / A2A / FSX / J3CUB.
– Tuned (reduced) ground effect.
BUG FIXES:
– Engine damage bug fixed
– Fixed a bug when sometimes hand starting was not possible based on previous flights.
– Sudden damage is relatively less likely when TBO time 1800 is chosen.
– Fixed bug where air starting required the prop movement speed to be slowed down to start.
– Gauge physics improvements and fixes……..".

I tried it out last night, and all I can say is wow – it makes an already great plane about a hair’s breadth away from perfect. Very nice work, A2A.
Yes indeed ! A new dimension of virtual bushflying. In combination with Tongass X this is frickin awesome !!!
A2A products whith AccuSim are the most realistics plane add-on i ever seen and i can’t understand why the P-47 don’t win the SimFlight awards …
That’s a new horizon for simulation and that makes me very happy 🙂 CHEERS!!!
