[Bloke751127]

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

[kengou1]

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]

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]

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]

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]

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]

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]

I’m with ya! I’d love to see a B-25!

[FusionHorse151]

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