This package offers custom liveries designed for the Flight Replicas Super Cub add-on, specifically tailored to the Extreme Plane variant included in the Extreme Bushplane Package. Developed by Dirk Hueschelrath, these repaints adapt the well-loved Piper Super Cub—renowned for its short takeoff and landing capabilities—to a bush-flying environment inside Microsoft Flight Simulator X. Enthusiasts who value realism will enjoy the rugged aesthetics and practical enhancements this set delivers. Please note that the original payware model is required and is not included here.

Tailored Exterior Schemes for Challenging Operations

The core appeal of this repaint collection is its focus on hardcore backcountry performance. The Piper Super Cub, known for its ability to handle remote airstrips, gets a visually distinctive treatment in each livery. The designs reflect authentic wear-and-tear, plus color layouts that mirror real-world counterparts frequently seen in rugged areas. You will find careful attention to panel lines, along with a fine-tuned shading approach that emphasizes structural details.

  • Optimized textures encouraging minimal performance impact
  • Accurate registration markings that match each included variation
  • Authentic color schemes aligned with backwoods operations
