SAVAGE GRRAVEL - MONSTER TRUCK IN THE SKIES

The Savage Grravel is a monster truck in the skies, heavily inspired by and paying homage to Mike Patey’s Scrappy. She’s got a converted Ford Mustang 230HP 2.5L V6 engine (+90HP with NOS), a 4 bladed 6 foot Whirlwind STOL optimized prop and 35" Alaskan Bushwheels.

Grravel is an absurd beast of a STOL machine, essentially a monster truck version of the Savage Carbon. She's heavier, more powerful, and just...more extreme. She comes with 5 exclusive liveries.

WHAT'S IN THE BOX

The Serious Backcountry Experience

• 230HP 2.5L V6 “Ford Mustang” engine, adapted for use in a cub.
• 35" Alaskan Bushwheels.
• 4 Bladed 6 foot prop for out-of-this-world acceleration and climbrate.
• NOS injection (about 100HP) for up to 4.5 minutes
• 2 x 27 Gallon tanks to feed the thirsty V6.
• 100% Custom lights with powerful landing light.
• Enhanced Night VFR lights inside the cockpit.
• Rearward facing landing light (“Toggle Recognition Light” keybind) for team leads so others follow easily.
• Reinforced structure, higher MTOW.
• Comfortably cruises at 125kts, punch it to hit 150 in seconds.
• Sustained climb rate of 4000fpm.
• Execute the Knife Edge aerobatic move.
• 800nm range at sea level at 4200RPM.
• Wider wheelbase.
• King Shock absorbers and upgraded suspension.
• Powerful disc brakes.
• A 3rd monster flap (60 degrees!) so you can fly slower approaches, with higher sink rates, giving you 50ft landing bragging rights.
• Superb ground handling.
• Vortex Generators on wing and tail are accurately simulated, delaying stalls and enabling those slow STOL approaches.
• Windshield de-icing (use the cabinheat lever).
• Modern Prop Physics and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)

INSTALLATION

• First of all make sure the default MSFS Savage Cub is installed, this mod depends on it.
• Delete older versions of the Savage Grravel mod, if any.
• Extract the ZIP file.
• Drag the folder named gotgravel-savage-grravel directly into the Community folder.
• Restart the sim.
• You'll find Grravel in your hangar all the way to the right near the default MSFS Savage Cub.

If done correctly, your folder structure should look like this:

/Community
   /gotgravel-savage-grravel
      /RTC
      /SimObjects
/Official

How to find the Community folder?

• If you changed the default location of packages, it’s the simplest because you should find a Community sub folder in it.
• For Steam, it should be located in C:\Users\ [Computer Name]\ AppData\ Local\ Packages\  Microsoft.FlightDashboard_8wekyb3d8bbwe\ LocalCache\ Packages\ Community
• For Windows Store C:\Users\ [Computer Name]\ AppData\ Local\ Packages\ Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\ LocalCache\ Packages\ Community

SUPPORT

I have multiple threads on various flight sim forums and websites (including this one) and it is not possible for me to respond to queries on all of them.

Support is therefor exclusively provided from the Got Gravel Discord Server (https://discord.gg/4f3j4YgNm4) through the "Got Support" channel inside the "Got Friends" category.

NOS

Need even more power? Grravel now comes with NOS equipped giving you up to 4.5 minutes of additional 90HP. Use the new NOS gauge to see how much supply you have left (1200psi is full, 800psi is empty). To engage either toggle the NOS switch in the cockpit or use the MSFS “War Emergency Power” keybind (recommended) for instant gratification.

THE TORCH

The “Torch” is a unique rearward facing landing light, similar to what was installed on Draco. When turned on (use the “Toggle Recognition Light” keybind), it will be easy for others to spot you from behind. Great if you are a team lead for a group flight!

SWAP YOUR PANEL

Choose your panel! You will find 5 panels to choose from in the swap-your-panel folder.

SWAP YOUR AIRSPEED INDICATOR

Choose your ASI face to be white or black! Select them from the swap-your-asi folder.

AUTOPILOT

Grravel has no autopilot installed (you will find none in the cockpit), but for your convenience I did tune and test the configuration for a relaxed experience. However, it is disabled by default.
To enable, follow the simple instructions below. You will also need to setup and use your own keybinds for autopilot on / off state, altitude hold and heading hold if you haven't done so yet.

• Go to your community folder
• Go to gotgravel-savage-grravel / SimObjects / Airplanes / Asobo_Savage_Grravel
• Open the file engines.cfg in a text editor
• Go to the last line and change the 1 to 0 (DisableAutopilotControls = 0)
• Restart sim if it was running
