EzMods XCub Classic Analog Cockpit Modification

MSFSPatch / Update

The XCub analog cockpit conversion requires the stock aircraft in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, pairing dial gauges with 3D needles and an Aera tablet. Custom flight modeling, PBR textures, persistent fuel and switch settings, walkaround support, tablet fueling, selectable cockpit drinks and more than a dozen liveries complete the package.

Expert Overview

Banking along the coast, I glanced down for an airspeed check and went straight to the needle before looking outside again. That quick, familiar scan suits the XCub beautifully. The large airspeed indicator and altimeter sit high on the panel, with the Aera below them; I like having the dials take that prominent position without giving up the screen. This feels like a sensible conventional VFR cockpit, not an exercise in making everything look old. The 3D needles are a worthwhile detail in a panel you’ll spend this much time reading.

Persistent fuel and switch settings are the other part I’d keep coming back for. Having to pay attention to the state you left the aircraft in gives the next outing a little continuity, and tablet fueling fits neatly into that routine. The drink-holder choices are amusing, but saved aircraft state has a practical purpose on every flight. Keep the simulator requirement in mind: the developer’s earlier MSFS 2020 work doesn’t make this release compatible with 2020.

EzMods 2024 XCub Classic replaces the stock CubCrafters XCub’s glass-panel layout with dial gauges and an Aera tablet in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. Developed by EzMods, version 0.9.94 requires the simulator’s own XCub and adds custom flight modeling, persistent settings, and more than a dozen liveries.

The base aircraft isn't included, but it ships with MSFS 2024, so no separate aircraft download is needed. This release is for MSFS 2024 only.

A conventional XCub panel

EzMods began developing for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 largely to build these XCub variants. The aim was to reproduce the aircraft’s conventional VFR panel: the real XCub has been offered with standard dial instruments, while the simulator depicts the more expensive G3X glass-cockpit option.

The 2024 version draws on that earlier work, with new 3D needles on every dial gauge, new PBR textures throughout, and numerous smaller adjustments. It uses MSFS 2024’s modular packaging system and supports walkaround features and fueling from the tablet.

  • Classic instrument panel with dial gauges and an Aera tablet.
  • More than a dozen liveries, most painted by AIRPAC1.
  • Custom flight model and performance.
  • Custom tablet and persistent settings for many items, including fuel and switches.
  • A choice of drinks for the cockpit drink holder.

How to install this mod

MSFS Patch / Update
  1. Extract the downloaded archive

    Use 7-Zip (free) or WinRAR to extract the ZIP to a temporary folder. Don't install while still zipped — the simulator can't read inside ZIP files.
  2. Locate your MSFS Community folder

    All MSFS add-ons live in the Community folder. Microsoft Store / Game Pass version: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Packages\Community\. Steam version: %APPDATA%\Microsoft Flight Simulator\Packages\Community\. Tip: enable Developer Mode in MSFS to see your exact Community folder path.
  3. Copy the package into Community

    Drag the extracted folder into your Community folder. Most MSFS add-ons follow this pattern.
  4. Restart MSFS

    Close MSFS completely and relaunch. The new content appears in the Content Manager, on the World Map, or in the aircraft/livery selector.
  5. Always read the included readme

    Every mod ships with a readme.txt or README file. It tells you exactly where files go, what dependencies are needed, and any quirks specific to this add-on.
