MONSTER NXCUB
This aircraft is first and foremost a high-fidelity realism mod of the default Asobo MSFS Cub Crafters NXCub bushplane. It flies like the real thing, hitting all the numbers. The engine’s been upgraded to the best Cub Crafters has to offer: the Lycoming 393i 215HP powerplant. Propeller performance too has been accurately modelled.
But it wouldn’t be a monster cub if there wasn’t something wicked. And so there is: NOS (Nitrious Oxyde Systems) has been installed for up to 3 minutes of nitro injection giving you an additional 100HP. Great for some STOL take-offs or emergency obstacle climbs!
- This mod installs as a new aircraft in your hangar and does not require the existing NXCub to be installed.
- This mod uses the default Asobo G3X (or the WT mod if you have it), so kindly do not report any Garmin issue to me as I can’t help you there.
- Engage NOS either with the switch or the War Emergency Power keybind.

NOS, the Monster in the Cub
- Up to 3 minutes of total Nitrous Oxide injection
- Hulks the Lycoming 393i 215hp instantly to 315hp

Default Garmin G3X, but…
- Highly recommend to install the Working Title G3X mod (Working Title G3X - Intro)

- Customized engine panel with remaining fuel and range data
- Useful annunciations added (NOS Low, Parking Brake, Fuel Imbalance, etc), only works with the WT G3X mod installed
- Radar Altitude added (displays whenever you’re less than 2,500 feet AGL)
Typical power settings:
- Normal Rated (100% … use for take-off): 2,700 rpm / 30 mp
- Performance Cruise (75% rated): 2,450 rpm / 24 mp
