FSX Super Cub Extreme2 - RP1 N06010

Enhance your bush-flying sessions with this meticulously crafted repaint designed for the payware Flight Replicas Piper Super Cub in Microsoft Flight Simulator X. Created by Dirk Hueschelrath, it offers a distinct livery for the Super Cub Extreme2 variant (registration N06010). This set provides an authentic look while retaining precise details of the real-world Piper Super Cub, famed for its short-field performance and rugged versatility.

Focused Design for Specialized Operations

The featured repaint captures the essence of the Piper Super Cub’s built-for-adventure appeal. The Super Cub family, originally descended from the legendary Piper PA-18 series, remains a benchmark for off-airport and backcountry flying. This Extreme2 configuration emulates the high-powered, robust version suitable for tight strips, alpine fields, and demanding environments, thus delivering an immersive experience in challenging bush scenarios.

Key Repaint Attributes

• Optimized textures that reflect the bushplane’s rugged nature.
• Attention to smaller airframe details, including struts, landing gear, and fuselage lines.
• Distinctive registration marking (N06010) for a realistic touch.
• Seamless compatibility with the Flight Replicas Super Cub Extreme2 configuration.

Prerequisites

Please note that this repaint requires the payware Flight Replicas Piper SuperCub model. You will need to purchase the base add-on, for example from SimShack, to use these texture files. This download only includes the repaint, not the underlying model.

Installation Steps

1. Extract the texture folder from the ZIP file and move it into your “Flight Simulator X/SimObjects/Airplanes/Super_Cub_Extreme2” folder.
2. Copy all files from the texture.extreme2 folder into your newly added folder, making sure not to overwrite any existing files.
3. Edit the aircraft.cfg file in the Super Cub Extreme2 folder by adding the following entry (replace “XX” with the next available fltsim number):

Additional Notes

The Piper Super Cub has long been valued for its short takeoff and landing (STOL) capabilities, which make it popular in rugged terrains. This rendition seeks to replicate that functionality graphically, thereby complementing the aircraft’s real-world bushflying reputation. As freeware, this repaint allows enthusiasts to expand their Super Cub collection at no extra cost (apart from the required payware base). By Dirk Hueschelrath.
