Launching for my first leg here in a few minutes.
I do have it planned out in my flight planner but no other preparation has been done.
I also am not going to go for the low flight record.

A real Cub driver doesn't need any of this stuff antway. ;D
Does the Super Cub have system modelling ?
Why does the electrical system fail ?

I'll be off for the rest of the month.  May look in from time to time. See you all next month! Keep the shiny side up (oops - the planes are probably dirty on both sides ...) |

That is the first failure I have ever had in it in over 40 hrs of flying it.
The manual says to keep engine damages on which I always do more because thats what I do.
The manual also gives max rpm for takeoff and cruise which is a lot lower than I have been running it.

Those failures actually look more like a bug in the gauges, rather than a modeled failure, as it's not very consistent. Oil pressure and attitude indicator should work without electricity, and since other electrical instruments are still working, this seems more like a random glitch. Here's a circuit diagram for a Super Cub — and it doesn't look like it could explain your situation:  |

It has to be an electrical failure because the Pop up GPS 500 shuts off as if it lost power when the other gauges fail. It happened again on this leg right as I was on final. Ha this could be it. The oil pressure gauge has some kind of built in failure table and the action is kill the electrical system. Don't ask me why it would do that now.  fs-duenna.com/flights/ShowFlight.php?flight=B37N8ZnxcWQxILhaLC0PKS9GM |

It was a tight one through this pass  And a nice landing off runway.  |

From experience I know that the options to model the effect of exceeding aircraft limitations by .xml gauges are limited. I could imagine that generating an electric failure may have been meant as a warning finger. The alternative may have been to generate an engine failure. That may have been thought of as pretty harsh ... and not really realistic either. We probably should mention this as a comment in the aircraft table |

Its actually built into the hour meter but I have not been able to figure out what triggers it by the code.
