SVT gunsight is pointing towards the wind. perpendicular wind component is getting subtracted instead of added.

As noted here, the prop is simulated incorrectly:

The Nav Lights are installed backwards, right now the green is on the left wing and red on the right wing, and the Strobe Lights are coloured instead of white.

It looks right on the ground, but the light from the bulbs are completely wrong.

The suspension feels way too stiff.

On takeoff, regardless of weight, the aircraft immediately rolls onto one wheel.
On landing, and rollout the aircraft often bounces between wheels.
When taxiing on firm ground, but especially on grass and bush regions, the aircraft tips very easily.

A bush plane like this should have a much softer suspension to handle uneven terrain and some small rocks.

Correct about the nav lights being reversed and the colored strobes. All are also nearly impossible to see in daylight. This needs a bug report.

The airplane is unusable for career mode. Every landing you damage the wheels, even if its a good landing. Tires need a health buff.

Yeah, there’s something wrong with the wheels or suspension, most noticeable on take-offs and landings. I find it very hard to land on bush or rescue situations.

The XCub has a gap in the 3D model at certain LODs, allowing you to see straight through the engine cowling. Disappears when zooming in further.

I could make a bug report but when there are so many minor issues, it takes too much effort to post them all. So many small issues sent to Zendesk for 2020 were not fixed after 4 years, so… :man_shrugging:

I can confirm this as well. The engine on both sides doesn’t appear until you zoom in to the minimum distance.

11

Every landing in career mode the landing gear and tires get damaged, even if it’s a smooth landing. As someone who has lots of time in a Super Cub (and other similar airplanes in real life), trust me that these airplanes can take a lot. It’s way too sensitive in game.

Sadly, so true…

Frustrated with the tail wheel damage every landing in carreer mode, I had to sell it and now I need to earn credits to get a second hand broken C172, really dissapointing for first carrer plane.

True. Even though it is an airplane that I love (X Cub), I am forced to sell it to continue my career with another airplane. Waiting for improvements with the landing. Perhaps the landing technique needs to be studied better but landing is still difficult. I am constantly repairing the landing gear.
