Piper J4 Coupe for Fs98.
The 1938 Cub Coupe was Piper's answer to the Aeronca Chief, the Taylorcraft and Luscombe 8 by providing side by side seating and also attempted to introduce automotive styling with it's fully upholstered interior and art deco panel. It was never as popular as the J3 Cub and is a rarity to find these days.

This model is designed for VFR flying using the Virtual Cockpit mode. The normal panel mode is not used. Unzip the Install.zip file into your main fs2000 folder and the aircraft and test flight will be automatically installed. Boot up and select the flight "Piper Coupe Test Flight". This will put you on the runway ready for a test flight. Select virtual cockpit mode. If you have rudder pedals or a twist knob the pedals in the plane are animated also. The airspeed indicator and tachometer work in VC mode for basic VFR flying. All other instruments can be accessed in any view using Shift/1. The art deco panel was patterned after an automobile dash board on the original Take a relaxing flight around the area and land back at the airport.

I would like to thank Jack Hill for his invaluable help and encouragement on this project. Please enjoy flight simming and always have happy landings!
