TIP OF THE DAY: This aircraft does not have a trim gauge in the cockpit. The AFM checklist says to set the trim for takeoff by visually setting the horizontal stabilizer leading edge to a takeoff mark on the empennage. Unfortunately, this mark is missing so just set it to the center of the slot at the leading edge. You can also takeoff with the trim at Neutral (0%), which is actually 2.5° DOWN on the stabilizer.

To see the actual trim setting, enable the COCKPIT or EXTERNAL HUD option in MSFS and set the trim to 25% UP for takeoff, which is the default setting when starting a flight on the Runway.

TIP OF THE DAY: Here are two excellent short training flight plans for practicing VFR or ILS Approach and Landing procedures that can be easily entered from the World Map...

KPAO (31) > CEPIN > AXMUL > KSFO (ILS 28R)

KNUQ (32R) > NIRYI> CEPIN > AXMUL > KSFO (ILS 28R)

Open WORLD MAP and enter the DEPARTURE and ARRIVAL airports and runways, then use the SEARCH box to locate and ADD each waypoint. Then, press [Spacebar] twice to open the LOAD/SAVE screen and save the flight plan as a .PLN file so you can easily reload it and repeat the flight.

Set the target ALT to 1800 ft. and tune NAV 1 to the ILS RWY 28R frequency of 111.7... Go to SkyVector.com and select KSFO to view the ILS RWY 28R approach chart for reference.

After entering or reloading the flight plan, select FLY to start the flight on the runway or select a PARKING RAMP spot to start the flight from cold and dark.

The brakes seem a little weak, I've never flown a carbon cub but I imagine the stopping distance at full braking power to be a little more impressive

Am I the only one that get a -2.5deg pitch offset on the G3X and standby ADI instrument after installing the mod ?

Thanks for the mod !

Hello, is it possible to fix the fuel pressure indication that stays in the red area at 8 psi after engine start?
Thanks.

Hello, Small feedback, you might want in the cockpit.cfg to change the following section :
[DIRECTION_INDICATORS]
direction_indicator.0 = 1,0

To :
[DIRECTION_INDICATORS]
direction_indicator.0 = 3,0
direction_indicator.1 = 3,0


The direction_indicator variable have been switched to 3 in the default cockpit.cfg file to avoid gyro drift that can only be corrected with D for the aircraft that have the G3X since AAU2 came out.

Do note that it affect all aircraft with the G3X, so both this one, the NX Cub and the VL-3 are affected

Sehr guter Mod

very nice job.. well done ! thanks a lot !!

Can anyone compare this mod to Bush League Legends xcub performance v2.8? Is theirs out of date?

Makes the XCub much more enjoyable! Thank you!

Many thanks!!!!

TIP OF THE DAY: To correctly read the fuel gauges, always use the scale on the right side of the fuel tubes, which is the scale for level flight. The left side scale is intended for when the aircraft is on the ground with a 10 degree nose up pitch attitude. Unfortunately, this has not been modeled and the fuel levels in the tubes remains the same regardless of the aircraft pitch, so only the right-hand scale is usable. The fuel capacity of each tank is 24.5 gals., with 1.5 gals. unusable. When the fuel levels shown on the MSFS Weight and Balance screen reach 1.5 gals. per tank, the fuel levels in the tubes will be at 0 and the engine will stop.

Version 1.2.0 ⦁ The Empty Weight CG has been moved slightly AFT and UP to more closely match the actual aircraft and provide more realistic weight and balance. This improves pitch stability and takeoff and landing performance. ⦁ The Forward and Aft CG Limits have been updated to more closely match the actual aircraft specs. ⦁ The Default Payload now includes the Pilot and 50 lbs. of baggage to improve the default weight and balance. ⦁ The Tailwheel Suspension parameters have been tweaked to improve the static ground pitch and tailwheel animation. ⦁ The Main Gear Suspension has been retweaked to reduce bouncing on touchdown. ⦁ The FLOAT Variant Floatation Points have been tweaked to improve water taxi, takeoff and landing performance. ⦁ The Fuel Tanks Position have been moved slightly aft to more closely match the actual aircraft and improve the weight and balance. ⦁ The Wing Incidence Angle has been reduced to more closely match the actual aircraft. ⦁ The Horizontal and Vertical Stabilizer Geometry has been tweaked slightly to more closely match the actual aircraft specs. ⦁ The Horizontal Stabilizer Trim Limits have been updated to match the actual aircraft specs. ⦁ The Default Takeoff Trim for a Runway start has been decreased to improve takeoff performance. The horizontal stabilizer should be centered in the slot for takeoff, which is a trim setting of about 25% UP. ⦁ The Airfoil Lift vs. AOA table has been updated to more closely match the actual airfoil specs. ⦁ The Cruise Lift Scaler has been decreased to improve the pitch attitude and performance during takeoff, cruise and landing. ⦁ The Parasite Drag has been increased to more closely match the actual aircraft performance specs. ⦁ The Elevator and Rudder Effectiveness parameters have been tweaked to improve handling and reduce twitchiness. ⦁ The Flaps Lift and Drag and Pitch parameters have been tweaked to improve takeoff and landing performance. ⦁ The ATC Tail Number has been changed to "X-CUB" to easily distinguish from the unmodified default version of the aircraft. ⦁ The default Pilot (VFR) viewpoint position has been updated to improve panel visibility and readability of the PFD/MFD. The default Landing and Close (IFR) pilot viewpoints have also been updated. ⦁ The Autopilot PID parameters have been tweaked to improve tracking and performance in all modes. ⦁ The default COMM 1 & 2 Radio active and standby frequencies have been changed to the international guard frequency of 121.5 to prevent receiving unwanted nearby ATIS broadcasts. ⦁ The electric Fuel Pump Switch now defaults to OFF for both a Ramp start and Runway start. ⦁ A PDF copy of the Garmin G3X Manual is now included under the DOCUMENTATION folder.
