Have been meaning to pick this up for a while now , and glad i finally did . What a super little aircraft !!

Looks beautiful, I’m disappointed they didn’t simulate the yoke-rudder linkage, seems you still need to use pedals to steer on the ground?

Bloke751127 · August 16, 2022, 8:06pm

Yes , need to use the rudder pedals ( didn’t really bug me , if I’m honest . Love the aesthetics + flight characteristics of the aircraft , but I can understand where you’re coming from as regards irl ) .

Fantastic for VFR / sightseeing . Low and slow !!

Is it still possible to bring up the tablet in the latest update? Can’t find a clickspot to make it reappear anywhere…

Bloke751127 · August 18, 2022, 8:55am

Tablet located on seat , click on power button .

Anybody have any suggestions regarding alternative Liveries for the Ercoupe?
We’ve checked Flightsim to and Flightsim.Com but can’t find any.
Regards.

“drag_coef_gear =0.01
cruise_lift_scalar =1
parasite_drag_scalar =0.8
induced_drag_scalar =1.2
wingflex_scalar=1”

This works perfectly! It fixes the issue of the aircraft being able to glide forever, and also makes the aircraft stop within a reasonable distance on the runway. Before this, I was running out of runway even at large airports - my speed just would not come down unless I jammed on the brakes.

Thanks JK, the Ercoupe kinda slipped under the radar liveries wise.

Any chance of a redo of some of the USAAC blue and gold liveries? This thing looks too much like a B-25 to not look good in those pre-war schemes!

FusionHorse151 · April 19, 2023, 9:58pm

well - I tried to let that comparison slide…I really did - but

There’s that one feature I guess…

However along with a few other glaring differences - It’s got Big Radials - not that that means anything

Deacon8tor · April 19, 2023, 11:07pm

The tails are enough. Considering how many real world Ercoupes are painted up in WWII colors, I’m guessing I’m not the only one.

But thanks for your input.

FusionHorse151 · April 19, 2023, 11:09pm

I agree with you and those schemes look great on the little Erco - I just really wanted to post a picture of the B25 we still don’t have in MSFS…and I’m prolly also guilty of needling Big Radials for not having gotten this done already. Maybe they’re just skeered they can’t pull it off? Dunno

Deacon8tor · April 19, 2023, 11:59pm

I’m with ya! I’d love to see a B-25!

FusionHorse151 · April 20, 2023, 2:57am

Right? meantime though this BRSim cloudhopper is a lot of fun and a nice flyer (modded or not)

FrankPilot1530 · July 3, 2024, 1:12am

Love the Ercoupe, but it should have an autopilot like most developers are adding to their old aircraft (via a tablet or whatever) altho they did not have one IRL - one advantage of a simulator! Cheers

LOL we have a problem.

I wrote to the author in 2023 during SU12 and this issue’s persisted since then.

Baracus250 · July 13, 2024, 5:46pm

That’s just the toe brakes. Intended!

Hayray79 · July 13, 2024, 6:02pm

Hmm, I thought they’d just given the Ercoupe longer legs for ferry flights?

(Sorry, couldn’t resist. I’ll see myself out.)

FrankPilot1530 · July 14, 2024, 1:07am

Thanks. Autopilot works great. Cheers.
