Hmmm… weird. Will try again tomorrow.

Beta v0.1 of the NX Cub is available in our discord.

A few shots headed South West out of Bryce Canyon.
Handles nicely.
Still getting used to all that fuselage back behind the mains. :grinning:

This time the Amphibian, in a Barnfind livery.
Like the NX, a smooth flier.
Now all I need to do is find my Water Rudder bindings.

I didn’t think my 1st shots of the NX did it justice.
Here’s one with some color in it.

Looks amazing. Does it have nose wheel suspension animation?

I’ll check that out.

The short answer is I am not sure.
I took off from San Jose & could discern front wheel wobble & the front unit turns/steers, but couldn’t detect up & down motion in the dampening unit. Possibly because it was a smooth tarmac runway.
Bear in mind this is an early Beta & more may be done on the nosewheel. The color of it suggests it is not finished yet.
I tried an out landing but missed the Pause point to catch any compression. (Grass Pic #2)
What I did find is that at full flap I could dive at around 45 degrees, speed held steady at 112 kia , for a very quick safe descent.

At rest on tarmac

After out landing

Great color scheme

Hi guys,
Tripple congrats for your planes. I love them. I downloaded the tundra version two weeks ago and use it a lot here in Quebec on forzen lakes.

Question: is it normal that we can land on lakes but can’t take off? It’s like the parking brakes are stuck on. Can’t move or just a bit.
Thanks !

You should be able to takeoff without issue. I know the alpine variant is a bit temperamental when pushing too far forward on the stick. It will dig in and slow down. But everything should work fine on show and ice

Ok thanks for the answer. Work fine on a snow runway but not on frozen lakes. I will investigate again.
Maybe a unknown switch to pull the skis down?
Thanks again!

It looks great. Lets see when it is out. I am loving the float variant. Tried it out yesterday in Alaska. The thumbnail in the sim shows the normal wheel version instead of the float. Does anyone know how to change it?

I’ll have a look at it today and see if I can come up with something for you.

If you go to our discord channel you can grab the early beta of the NX. I also uploaded the thumbnail for the default float. I did in fact forget to add it to the zip file. It will be there for the next update.

Do we need to redownload the planes because of the latest patch?

No need. I never modified it as I knew the patch was coming out.

How about color-matched floats? They look awesome!

What does the NX stand for in a Cub?

In various interviews I’ve heard them refer to it as Nosewheel XCub or Next XCub.
