This freeware package features a meticulously detailed Austrian-registered Piper Super Cub (registration OE-AHD) for Microsoft Flight Simulator X. It comes with updated propeller textures and is intended solely as an additional livery. Note that the required payware base pack, the “Super Cub X Collection” by Simon Smeiman, is not included and must be obtained separately. This custom repaint is developed by Bernhard Lechner.

Technical Focus on the Piper Super Cub’s Design

The Piper Super Cub is widely recognized for its short takeoff and landing capabilities, making it ideal for bush flying or rugged airstrip operations. This single-engine, lightweight aircraft was introduced in the mid-20th century and has remained popular among enthusiasts who value its handling and taildragger characteristics. With precise control inputs in Microsoft Flight Simulator X, this experienced design can simulate realistic stall procedures and slow-flight performance. The careful artwork by Bernhard Lechner ensures the Austrian livery offers a classic yet distinctive aesthetic.

Distinctive New Prop Texture

A new prop texture has been incorporated into this repaint by integrating carefully enhanced pixel details. The upgraded texture applies more realism to spinning prop effects, thus complementing close-up views and external camera perspectives during simulated flights around Alpine or other scenic environments.
