  • Description

    The ERCO Ercoupe is an American low-wing monoplane aircraft that was originally manufactured by the Engineering and Research Corporation (ERCO) shortly before World War II. Several other manufacturers continued its production after the war. It was designed to be the safest fixed-wing aircraft that aerospace engineering could provide at the time.

    The Ercoupe was the first aircraft certified as "unable to spin" by the Civil Aeronautics Administration (CAA).

    This addon is based on the Ercoupe 415C manufactured after WWII which had a 75HP Continental C75 engine.

    Features:

    • 6 Liveries
    • 8K full PBR textures
    • High quality 3d modelling and animations
    • Flight model with limited stall and spin characteristics
    • All switches, lever and knobs operable (except circuit breakers)
    • 4 panel colors (Blue, Black, Red and Yellow)
    • Optional and subtle panel vibrations
    • Subtle tail and aileron vibrations
    • Radio and Transponder
    • Rotating beacon lights
    • Optional landing gear fairing and cockpit cover
    • Static Elements (chocks, tie down, etc)
    • Options Tablet to control the airplane custom options
    • Save state system for the airplane custom options
    • Documentation and checklist (including MSFS checklist)

    Please read the documentation.

    The documentation is inside the Documents folder which is inside the aircraft folder.

    An ok plane. Feels very light, which it surely is. The latest update brought aileron and rudder interconnect, so the rudder controls do not work on this plane, like real life. Steering with the yoke on the ground is fun. But the sim model does NOT like crosswind landings, and this is not so big a problem according to real life accounts. For this reason alone it doesn't feel quite plausible to me. But other than that it is ok to fly. Very sedate and slow.

    Just bought this aircraft. And contrary to some other reviews? The design of the panel is identical to some Youtube videos flying the actual aircraft. Externally comes out really well, especially the bare metal finish. On the whole a pleasant little flight, am pleased with the Ercoupe.

    Great Now that they Fixed the No Rudders Pedals ; jest need to fix the VR pilot seat position

    Pretty poor rendition of the Ercoupe. The external model itself is *ok*.. proportions are a little off but nothing egregious. The interior panel is basically fantasy. Doesn't look anything like any Ercoupe panel I've ever seen. Clipping issues in v1 with the cockpit glass were "fixed" by the developer simply by not letting you open the canopy. This is the model of the Ercoupe with rudder pedals.. so the most interesting and unique thing about this aircraft isn't even modelled. Oil pressure and temperature systems are basically non-functional. Sounds aren't accurate. Performance is basically right out of fantasy land. I tried referencing the actual Ercoupe POH and the numbers are so far off I felt like I was flying a different plane. This one also floats like a glider on landing, whereas the real Ercoupe drops like a rock under 60 MPH with the throttle idle (very high drag aeroframe). Overall this is just not a good addon. Credit where it's due, the textures overall are very well done and the liveries look nice.

    On one hand I like the living aircraft feel of all of the vibration animations, however, andy real aircraft that did that as much as this one does would be covered in rivet dust streaks in weeks, and rattle itself apart in less than a year. Its easy enough to overlook in a sim/game, though, but what MUST be fixed is the ridiculous 9000:1 glide ratio. This thing is nearly impossible to land without forcing it on because it will glide F O R E V E R ... Come on BR-Sim.. Please fix this. Also, it needs SOME ability to lose speed when coasting. If you never touch the brakes, it will never stop rolling.

    The ERCO 415 feels great to fly, however, I think there's something seriously wrong with the flight model: you can glide for hours in this thing, and when you land, you need to put the brakes on immediately upon touchdown, or the aircraft will just keep on rolling as if it's on ice at around 40mph until you run out of runway - and this happens on tarmac and even on grass strips! If some attention were paid to making the glide model more realistic, and to making this aircraft stop in a reasonable time upon landing, it would be great.

    This is an update to my previous review. The landing behavior was definitely the trim setting as I originally suspected. With a little down trim (instead of full up as specified in the POH) it flies and lands much more realistically. I would move it to 4 stars if the yoke moved for nosewheel steering. There is a rudder modification for the Ercoupe, but the steering remains attached to the yoke as far as I know (It steers on the ground like a car and the yoke is the steering wheel). The Ercoupe I fly has no rudder pedals. Anyway, the tiny bit of down trim from full up, makes it fly much more realistically on landing (comes down much better and realistically). Hope this is helpful.

    I've flown an Ercoupe for real. This MSFS model of the 415C needs improvement in regards to flight characteristics. Landing behavior is not accurate IMHO. With power at idle and speeds around 65mph, it should fall out of the sky...but, on this model it glides like a glider. I think it is because of the full up trim which is a standard setting for takeoff and landings in this model. Also, the drag coefficient seems off to me. Takeoffs are ok, as well as flying around at cruise. Also, the volume in the cockpit is far to quiet regarding engine noise, even with volume at full for the cockpit interior. Outside engine noise level is actually a little too loud. It is a beautiful model, and the detail is really nice. If you are not a serious pilot, then this very well could be the aircraft for you. The price is unbelievably low for the amount of work that has gone into this model. it's fun to fly for a novice, but actual Ercoupe pilots may be disappointed. I wish the canopy would open as shown in several reviews on the web. Evidently, that feature was removed in the latest update.

    Es ist nich was man erwartet. Leider keine koppelung des Seitenleitwerkes mit den Querrudern. Es sind 2 Pedale zum steuern des Seitenleitwerkes angefügt worden und somit nichts tolles oder besonderes. Einfach nur ein ganz normales Flugzeug mit einem nicht funktionierendem Öldrucksystem und Öltemperatur funktioniert auch nicht. Die Leistung ist grottig, wobei ich das Flugzeug nicht im echten Leben gesehen habe und so keine Rückschlüsse für mich möglich sind. Die Fenster sollten zu öffnen sein, seit Update einfach nicht mehr möglich was auf den bequemsten Weg ein Problem auszuräumen hindeutet. Wenn man die hässliche Kiste aber unbedingt braucht, muss man halt Zahlen. Für dieses Geld aber definitiv nicht zu empfehlen. t's not what you expect. Unfortunately no coupling of the rudder with the ailerons. 2 pedals have been added to control the vertical stabilizer and therefore nothing great or special. Just a normal plane with a non-functioning oil pressure system and oil temperature will not work either. The performance is terrible, although I haven't seen the plane in real life so I can't draw any conclusions. The windows should be able to be opened, since the update it is simply no longer possible, which indicates the most convenient way to eliminate a problem. But if you absolutely need the ugly box, you have to pay. Definitely not recommended for this money.

    Since update, landing is fixed and I'm happy as a clam. Thank you BRSIMDESIGNS!
