/images/notams/notams20/a2a0210/a2a0210.jpgFew airplanes define "stick and rudder" more faithfully and distinctlythan does the Cub. Aeroncas, Taylorcrafts, Stinsons, Luscombes, Cessnas andall the rest are but refinements and alternatives to what was created bythe advent of the Cub. They are all the heirs of the Cub, and as such, owehomage and their very existence to their venerable predecessor. Even if you have never actually seen a Cub in the flesh, if airplanesare your game, you have a good idea of what a Cub is all about. Virtuallyevery pilot has flown or knows someone who has flown a Cub. /images/notams/notams20/a2a0210/j3-cub-1.jpgIf you throw a baseball, a paper airplane, and a stick into the air,each would behave differently based on its weight, density, and shape. Eachwill interact with the air and ultimately the ground very differently, justas we would expect. But what if you dropped a tennis ball on a hardsurface, and instead of bouncing, it just hit the ground with a loud‘clunk’ and stopped? We are physical beings that live in a world that hascertain truths we take for granted, that is until they are gone. However,in a simulated world, nothing can be taken for granted. In fact, if thephysics in a simulated world are not specifically created by someone, theysimply do not exist. With Accu-Sim, we have built-in to this simulationmany of the physical rules that we know to be true and which we expect toexist in the real physical world. Perhaps the most important thing this little airplane will bring to youis honest, true-to-life stick-and-rudder flying, something pilots oftenforget after flying large, heavy, fast, complex aircraft for a while. Youwill be actively engaged in flying this Cub almost all of the time. Afterjust flying it for a very short while you will start to feel like a betterpilot, and you will be. /images/notams/notams20/a2a0210/j3-cub-2.jpgPrepar3D v4 Exclusive FeaturesPhysically based rendering (PBR) of cockpit and exteriorUpgraded 3D virtual cockpitNew, high-poly "Heidi" passenger and male and female pilotsTaildragger flight dynamics tuned for the Prepar3D simulation platform /images/notams/notams20/a2a0210/j3-cub-3.jpgStandard FeaturesAs with every A2A aircraft, it is gorgeously constructed, inside and outFlying qualities built by pilots with unprecedented stall and spin realismIncludes standard J-3 Cub, Tundra tires, Floats, and Skis98 page, full-sized Pilot's Manual written by Mitchell Glicksman (re-edited/updated by Nick M for the P3Dv4 release)Visual Real-Time Load Manager, with the ability to load fuel, oil, pilot, passenger, and cargo in gameIn cockpit pilot’s map for handy in-flight navigationFuel delivery system simulatedAll models include A2A specialized materials with authentic metalSound engineered by A2A sound professionalsAccu-Sim physics creates an entirely new world including true wing, air-frame, engine, ground, water, and internal systems behaviourPassenger On BoardTM adds a new dimension of piloting realism with an intelligent passenger that is aware of the surroundings, talks when appropriate, including being able to spot and call out trafficThird generation Accu-Sound now allows for a direct connection to the Accu-Sim and FSX physics engine with airflow through the air-frame, window, and door, structural creaks, bumps, jolts, etc. with three hundred and ninety sounds in allPiston combustion engine modelling. Air comes in, it mixes with fuel and ignites, parts move, heat up, and all work in harmony to produce the most accurate combustion engine simulation availableEngine has an actual life. Good piloting skills are rewarded with longer life and more reliable performanceNew propeller physics means the propeller is constantly active and allows for both hand and air starting the engineGround physics realistically rock your wings and buck your tail. Regular tires, skis, and large tundra tires all have their own distinctive ground handling benefits and limitations. Each aircraft comes with its own sound set which is tied in with the physics of the air-frameTundra tires demand respect for the size and weight of the larger tires. 3-point landing on tarmac is highly recommendedWater physics simulate waves, water drag, and creates an authentic “on the step†experienceTotal audible cockpit experience made with professional recordings from three actual Piper J-3 aircraftFuel System allows for an authentic primer system with fuel in lines, tank, and authentic gravity-fed fuel-air mixtureThird generation engine wear and oil system including an engine that sputters, spits, and runs rough when damagedBoth engine and air-frame physically vibrate and shake, based on real world conditionsCarburettor icing modelling, which is critical for the proper management of the Continental A-65-8 engine /images/notams/notams20/a2a0210/j3-cub-4.jpgPurchase A2A Simulations - Accu-sim Piper J-3 Cub
