A2A Simulations has released their first patch v1.1 for their latest aircraft the Piper Cub. Some new features in has are:
1.Paddle to and from a dock or any shoreline with a functional oar.
2.Make advanced water to land landings with Tundra tires. This allows for safer landings near shorelines and lakes. While the tundras are larger than regular tires, they are not floats, so if you get too slow over the water, they can pull you in and nose over. Be careful and respectful of the dangers of skipping over water. The wave physics are enabled, so you may get some bucking up and down at speed.
3. Hand towing (CONTROLS PANEL). This allows you to slowly pull or push your aircraft after the engine has been shut off.
– New tie-down physics will hold aircraft steady. If you use the tie down on water, it will simulate a tie down near a dock. The plane will still rock back and forth in the water, but it will behave as if it is roped down.
4. Audible damage physics. This means if you push an engine, especially if cold, you will hear some slightly different sounds coming from the engine.
