FSX J3 Cub Prop

Sharper prop-disc visuals for the default Piper J-3 Cub bring a more convincing sense of motion in Flight Simulator X, replacing the stock Prop_Cub texture while remaining compatible across the aircraft’s paint schemes. Tested with FSX SP2, it refreshes the in-flight look of the classic Cub without changing flight dynamics or panel behavior.

J3 Cub Prop. An alternative prop texture for the default Piper J-3 Cub. Tested with SP2. By Bob Rivera.

J3 Cub Prop in flight.

This is an alternative prop texture for the default FSX Piper J3 Cub. This has been tested with FSX SP2.

Installation:

Place the Prop_Cub.dds texture in your Piper_J3Cub/Texture folder and overwrite the old one, hopefully after making a backup of the original, just in case you don't like this new one. You will only have to overwrite the original one in the texture folder and it will be used with the other skins automatically or you can place one in each texture folder if you prefer.

Please contact me if you want to use my texture for anything else.

Good Flights,

Bob Rivera
