The developers of Microsoft Flight Simulator X: Accseleration have undeservedly neglected this wonderful legendary multi-purpose aircraft, allocating only two short game missions for it - landing accuracy and bombing accuracy; meanwhile, this baby is capable of something more than flying in circles in the area of ​​​​the airfield. In particular, at the dawn of the formation of postal aviation, it was the Piper J-3 that delivered 110 pounds of mail literally to the door of the post office, which was facilitated by its excellent takeoff and landing characteristics and pilot experience, and its four-cylinder piston engine, designed almost a hundred years ago, successfully survived several generations of jet engines, easy to repair and unpretentious to the quality of the fuel; in particular, it successfully works on modern motor gasoline, perceiving it as native. The obvious disadvantages of the Piper J-3 Cub include only the difficulty of landing (it must be landed strictly against the wind, because the landing gear is not designed to stabilize the aircraft on the runway in a crosswind), the insufficient equipment of the radio complex (I corrected this by replacing the standard radio with a more modern ) and gluttony of the engine (this is also fixed by replacing the carburetor and ignition system); as a result, the upgraded Piper J-3 Cub can now be tracked by controllers by transponder code and is guaranteed to fly to a range of 480 kilometers (300 miles), giving the pilot the pleasure of FLYING in calm air.
Installation is traditionally simple: remove the original Piper_J-3 folder from the SimOdjects/Airplanes folder and replace it with the folder from this archive. May all your landings be successful!
