Thanks for the link!
I also found a very good looking model on Sim Aviation.com's site http://simviation.com/simviation/?type=item&ID=61&page=3
There are a couple of update downloads listed there for it as well. To make the Cub work smoothly in FSX, you need to get those updates as well. The gauges in the primary download (V3) are from FS98 and won't work in FSX. The updates fix that.
Turns out that the Super Cub I got from this site is MUCH better than I'd expected. The 2D cockpit has incredible detail. 3D cockpit looks very good as it usable. The paint schemes are cool too (and one has TUNDRA TIRES!). One of the coolest things I found is that there is an additional download for it that apparently (I haven't used it yet) allows you to repaint the plane. That's cool to me because my father used to be a professional bush pilot and hunting guide here in Alaska and (if things work out right) I can put his old tail number on the plane! That would be a nice little nostalgic touch for me!
Speaking of that, and if you'll tolerate a shameless plug, my father wrote an exciting book of his most daring flights in the Alaska bush. It's an interesting read for anyone fascinated with bush flying in the dangerous North. I DON'T GET ANY MONEY FROM SALES OF THE BOOK (I'm sharing this in the interest of aviation). If you're curious, you can take a peak at it here:
