Xcub custom variants

This is spectacular!!! I have the cargo variant, and cannot wait to check out the float variant. Amazing work!!!

Not sure i’ve ever really seen those.. the links from the BLL website are safe though, not that you can trust an internet stranger :stuck_out_tongue:

Heads up for those of you testing Beta v0.6 or 0.7. There is a bug currently that will kill your frame rate if you maneuver on any surface that is not paved or water. I’m investigating the cause.

:slightly_smiling_face: Figured out, it was caused by my internet provider, blocking mega.nz. Thanks for your answer.

BETA v0.8 is up.

Massive thank you to EZRyder for discovering the solution to the FPS bug. It was the touch dirt FX file. I turned it off and problem solved!

New in this release…

Updated tires and textures.
Fixed prop positioning when still
Updated various texture mappings.
Rivets should be a little better. I will continue to improve their visibility.
Prop shadow will no longer cast on the cowling.
Fixes to icing textures.
Modified Float contacts. You should now see it come up on step a little bit.
Increased induced drag co-efficient
Decreased prop efficiency.
Fixed display of registration information.
Prop side blur improved.

There seems to be no rain or icing effects on the windscreen when flying from cockpit cam. in chase cam they show up, but from te cockpit, windscreen is always clear. Is that something that can be fixed?
I’m using the 215hp mod.

When can we expect the float version release? I cannot wait for that one.

Not only mod but default Xcub have no rain effects.

I’ll have a fix out for this next update

When Asobo updated the xcub model they forgot to export the references to the frost layers. In my variants you will still see icing. However the default version of the model will not show icing until Asobo does another model update.

The beta is available on our discord channel for testing. I have some more texturing to complete and the next beta will be out for final testing. Once all of that looks good then v1.0 will be released. Then I can begin work on the NX!

You killed me with this announcement. Amazing!!! REALLY cannot wait for floats and NX. Amazing news. Thank you for your hard work.

We’re up to BETA v0.11. I have a few more modifications to the float texture mapping before it goes to release.

I’ve also started the preliminary work on the NX.

Just took it for a spin around Scotland and it performed beautifully! Lots of fun to explore and land in the lochs and little airfields. Thank you.

Hmmm… Float version - I have issues starting from cold and dark. Using with WT G3X mod. Shows Low Volts, Low Vac, etc. Ctrl-E is the only thing that seems to fix this. Has anyone seen anything of the sort? Has the procedure changed from regular X-Cub? I always started it C&D with no issues.

I was able to start the float version from cold and dark with no issues. Used the usual procedure for the cub.
