Tu-22M

[TacitBlue]

I just read a great article about the history of russian bombers, so I wanted to try some of them in FS. Unfortunately, there dosnt seem to be any models of the Tu-22M anywhere. If any of you designers are interested in russian aircraft, I would like to point this one out to you.

@Mr Mugel
Russian aircraft with VC... that i know of

Mostly civilans and heavy on the framerate.

• An-2 by Anton Nikolaev (Russian-only panel)
• An-2P and V by Tim Conrad (generic panel)
• SimTech La-5, freeware now
• An-24 by Dimitri Samborski, get the latest version. Patch is being made to give the An-26 a VC too
• FSUSSR Li-2, uses the default DC-3 model
• Tu-154  by Tibor Kokai, 2 versions of this one
• Tu-114 by  Dimitri Samborski, there is a Tu-126 AWACS too
• Tim Conrad Mi-24

In the making

• Project Tupolev Tu-154B-2 (just the last difficulties that have to be ironed out)
• Dimitri Samborski Tu-134. stop arguing and release the thing...
• Dimitri Samborski payware An-12

[Mr.Mugel]

Yeah, but they are too heavy for my PC, the most, I think.

I believe Alphasim are developing a Tu-22, its over on thier forums if you search hard enough.

yeah, they had a TU-22 blinder for FS2002 wich they changed to freeware. It dosnt have an appropriate panel, but it flyes alright. still, not the same as a backfire. It was enough to satisfy my russian bomber craving though.

two different aircraft use the same designation... Tu-22  A, B,P are the old one with the engines on the tail.
Tu-22M3 is the new one, with the upside-down nose and square intakes

I have some realy high pixel diagrams, if anyone wants to attempt one!  ;D

[The_Editor]

You are in luck

I still have the old Alphasim TU-22M Backfire, which is at this link:

http://www.ahsoft.freeserve.co.uk/ALPHA ... ckfire.zip

[TacitBlue]

Cool, thanks for the link. I wonder why they dont still have it on their free page?

[FKW]

Ivan, from that site I had downloaded the Antonov An-30, no AI. However it uses info from an An-26, where or wich is the one I have to get?

[Ivan]

You need
An-26
Avsim.com ID 34078 (base package)
and
antonov_an24rv.zip

Follow the next steps exactly, or you will end up with non functional ADF gauges and other problems
Install both packages
install the update (an24_patch1.zip), makes it somewhat flyable in FS2004
Install the gauge file from (http://www.avsim.ru/files.phtml?action=download&id=2224)
manually edit the panels to get the latest files to be used and remove old versions of the main gauge set.

More info in english here. ignore the discussion about flight dynamics. that's a work-in-progress

An-30 uses another panel, with the same gauges
http://www.avsim.ru/files.phtml?action=download&id=1703
install and edit cfg file to use latest version.

[The_Editor]

Cool, thanks for the link. I wonder why they dont still have it on their free page?

They still have the Mya-4 3M II 'Bison', Mya M-50 'Bounder', Tu-142 Bear D and the Tu-22C Blinder bombers there, though

Thanks Ivan.
